Scientists improved an enzyme to better produce a hair growth-promoting chemical from an immunosuppressant.
research Preparation of 3H-Labelled Testosterone Metabolites
The conclusion is that tritium-labeled testosterone metabolites can be made and are better converted into dihydrotestosterone in skin cells than in prostate tissue.
research Exploring Rat Corpus Cavernosum Alterations Induced by Finasteride Treatment and Withdrawal
Finasteride changes hormone levels and certain proteins in rats, but these effects can be reversed after stopping the drug.
research Human Scalp Skin as an Abundant and Accessible Source for Eccrine Sweat Gland Isolation and Organ Culture
Researchers found a new way to isolate sweat glands from the scalp for study and culture.
research Infranatant Portion of Microfragmented Adipose Tissue: A Promising Source of Stromal Vascular Fraction for the Management of Androgenetic Alopecia
A new method using fat tissue cells may help treat hair loss.
research Prostaglandin D2 Inhibits Hair Growth and Is Elevated in Bald Scalp of Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
A substance called prostaglandin D2 is found more in bald scalps and it stops hair from growing. Blocking its receptor could potentially treat hair loss.
research Prostaglandin D2 Inhibits Hair Growth and Is Elevated in Bald Scalp of Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
Prostaglandin D2, found in higher levels in bald scalps, stops hair growth, suggesting that blocking its receptor could potentially treat hair loss.
research Molecular Mechanisms of Androgenetic Alopecia
AGA causes hair loss by shrinking hair follicles due to DHT binding, and can be treated with finasteride and minoxidil.
research Methotrexate in Dermatology
Methotrexate is a key, cost-effective drug for skin conditions, but requires careful monitoring for side effects.
research Effects of Subchronic Finasteride Treatment and Withdrawal on Neuroactive Steroid Levels and Their Receptors in the Male Rat Brain
Finasteride treatment changes brain steroid levels and receptors, affecting brain function even after stopping treatment.
research Use of Extracellular Matrix Hydrogel from Human Placenta to Restore Hair-Inductive Potential of Dermal Papilla Cells
Human placenta hydrogel helps restore cells needed for hair growth.
research Colorimetric Assay for Gamma-Glutamyl Transpeptidase
The document concludes that measuring γ-glutamyl transpeptidase activity is more accurate with a higher substrate concentration and using diluted acetic acid to stop the reaction.
research Identification of a New Plant Extract for Androgenic Alopecia Treatment Using a Non-Radioactive Human Hair Dermal Papilla Cell-Based Assay
A new plant extract from Avicennia marina could potentially be used to treat common hair loss.
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 Severe Cardiac Conduction Abnormalities Associated with Atypical Toxic Shock Syndrome
A boy with toxic shock syndrome had severe heart rhythm problems but recovered with treatment.
research Effects of Chronic Inhibition of Testosterone Metabolism on Cardiac Remodeling After Ischemia/Reperfusion-Induced Myocardial Damage in Gonadectomized Rats
Testosterone reduces heart damage and inflammation after injury.
research 5α-Reductase Inhibitors: The Finasteride Story
Finasteride safely treats enlarged prostate and male-pattern baldness.
research Is Dehydroepiandrosterone a Hormone?
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a prohormone important for producing sex steroids and has potential health benefits.
research Intratumoral De Novo Steroid Synthesis Activates Androgen Receptor in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer and Is Upregulated by Treatment with CYP17A1 Inhibitors
Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.
research Relative Prevalence of Different Androgen Excess Disorders in 950 Women Referred Because of Clinical Hyperandrogenism
Most women referred for excess male hormone symptoms had polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), with other conditions being less common.
research Androgen Metabolism as It Affects Hair Growth in Androgenetic Alopecia
Too much androgen can cause hair loss; finasteride may help.
research Microneedle Applications in Improving Skin Appearance
Microneedles help improve skin appearance and deliver skin treatments effectively, but safety concerns need more research and regulation.
research Potential of Nanoparticles as Permeation Enhancers and Targeted Delivery Options for Skin: Advantages and Disadvantages
