research Addressing Androgenetic Alopecia: A Complex Disorder with a Multilateral Treatment Strategy
Treating hair loss effectively may require a multi-sided approach, using different treatments together, and topical treatments could be more effective and safer than oral ones.
research Effect of 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors in Animal Models of Parkinson's Disease
5-alpha reductase inhibitors may help protect the brain and gut in Parkinson's disease.
research Impaired Prolactin-Lowering Effects of Metformin in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Metformin lowers prolactin in women without PCOS but not in those with PCOS, where it reduces other hormones instead.
research Evaluation of 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Levels in Patients with Chronic Telogen Effluvium: A Retrospective Analysis of 291 Cases
People with chronic hair shedding had much lower vitamin D levels compared to healthy people.
research The Role of Micronutrients in Young Men Presenting with Hair Loss
Many young men with hair loss have low levels of vitamin D and B12.
research Regulation of Receptor Binding Specificity of FGF9 by an Autoinhibitory Homodimerization
FGF9 controls which receptors it binds to through a process where two FGF9 molecules join, and changes in FGF9 can lead to incorrect receptor activation.
research Screening of Synthetic and Natural Product Databases: Identification of Novel Androgens and Antiandrogens
Researchers found new potential treatments for conditions related to the androgen receptor, like male hormonal contraception, by testing thousands of compounds.
research Female Gonadal Function Before and After Treatment of Acromegaly
Treatment of acromegaly can improve women's reproductive health issues caused by hormonal imbalances or tumors.
research Gilles De La Tourette Syndrome – A Treatable Condition?
Gilles de la Tourette syndrome is treatable, with behavioral therapy as a recommended first option and other treatments available for more severe cases.
research Stress-Induced c-Jun-Dependent Vitamin D Receptor Activation Dissects the Non-Classical VDR Pathway from the Classical VDR Activity
Stress activates a special function of the Vitamin D receptor with the help of c-Jun, which can also prevent cell death.
research Nongenomic Effects of 1α,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 on Cartilage Formation Deduced from Comparisons Between Cyp27b1 and Vdr Knockout Mice
1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 directly affects cartilage growth and development.
research Hormone Therapy in Acne
Hormonal treatment is effective for women with acne not helped by usual treatments, especially if they have hormonal imbalances.
research The Role of Vitamin D in Non-Scarring Alopecia
Low vitamin D might be linked to certain types of hair loss, and supplements could help, but more research is needed.
research Protection Against Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia
No treatment fully prevents hair loss from chemotherapy yet.
research Repurposing Steroidogenesis Inhibitors for the Therapy of Neuropsychiatric Disorders: Promises and Caveats
Drugs for hormone-related conditions might help treat mental disorders but could have serious side effects.
research Antioxidants and Mitochondrial Bioenergetics: Charnoly Bodies in Neurodegenerative Diseases, Cardiovascular Disorders, and Cancer
Antioxidants may help improve mitochondrial health and could be used to treat diseases related to cell damage.
research Evidence for 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3-Independent Transactivation by the Vitamin D Receptor
The vitamin D receptor can work without its usual activating molecule.
research The 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3-Independent Actions of the Vitamin D Receptor in Skin
The vitamin D receptor helps regulate skin and hair health independently of its usual vitamin D ligand.
research Antifibrogenic Activities of Novel Vitamin D3 Analogs Are Dependent on VDR Expression in Human Fibroblasts
New vitamin D3 forms need the vitamin D receptor to reduce fibrosis in human cells.
research Skeletal Site-Dependent Expression of the Androgen Receptor in Human Osteoblastic Cell Populations
Higher androgen levels and site-specific AR expression cause sex-related skeletal differences, and certain steroids can boost AR expression and androgen effects in bone cells.
research Ligand-Independent Regulation of the Hairless Promoter by Vitamin D Receptor
Vitamin D receptor can control the hairless gene linked to hair loss even without vitamin D.
research Hereditary 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D-Resistant Rickets Due to an Opal Mutation Causing Premature Termination of the Vitamin D Receptor
A specific gene mutation causes vitamin D-resistant rickets and hair loss.
research Vitamin D Receptor Ablation Alters Skin Architecture and Homeostasis of Dendritic Epidermal T Cells
Lack of Vitamin D receptor changes skin structure and increases certain immune cells in the skin.
research Vitamin D Activates Type A Natriuretic Peptide Receptor Gene Transcription in Inner Medullary Collecting Duct Cells
Vitamin D boosts a specific gene activity in kidney cells that could improve heart and kidney function.
research Vitamin D Receptor, UVR, and Skin Cancer: A Potential Protective Mechanism
Vitamin D receptor may help protect against UV-induced skin cancer.
research Hereditary Vitamin D-Resistant Rickets in Lebanese Patients: The p.R391S and p.H397P Variants Have Different Phenotypes
Two different mutations in the vitamin D receptor gene cause different symptoms and responses to treatment in Lebanese patients with hereditary rickets.
