research Knock-Down of Arabidopsis PLC5 Reduces Primary Root Growth and Secondary Root Formation While Overexpression Improves Drought Tolerance and Causes Stunted Root Hair Growth
Changing the amount of PLC5 in Arabidopsis affects root growth and drought resistance, with less PLC5 slowing root growth and more PLC5 improving drought tolerance but hindering root hair growth.
research Body Composition Changes and Inhibition of Fat Development In Vivo Implicate Androgen in Regulation of Stem Cell Lineage Allocation
Androgen is important in controlling stem cell differentiation, reducing fat development, and increasing lean mass.
research Local and Systemic Reduction by Topical Finasteride or Flutamide of Hamster Flank Organ Size and Enzyme Activity
Topical finasteride and flutamide reduce gland size and enzyme activity, with flutamide being more potent, potentially treating acne, seborrhea, hirsutism, and androgenic alopecia.
research The Human Gut Chemical Landscape Predicts Microbe-Mediated Biotransformation of Foods and Drugs
The study developed a tool to predict how gut microbes process foods and drugs, showing that similar compounds often share metabolic pathways and effects.
research Increased Lactate Dehydrogenase Activity Is Dispensable in Squamous Carcinoma Cells of Origin
High lactate dehydrogenase activity is not necessary for the growth of squamous cell carcinoma.

research Systematically Optimized Coenzyme Q10-Loaded Novel Proniosomal Formulation for Treatment of Photo-Induced Aging in Mice: Characterization, Biocompatibility Studies, Biochemical Estimations, and Anti-Aging Evaluation
The new CoQ10 gel protects mouse skin better against aging from UV light than the old gel.
research Smad4-Dependent Desmoglein-4 Expression Contributes to Hair Follicle Integrity
Smad4 is important for healthy hair follicles because it helps produce a protein needed for hair to stick together and grow.
research Sp6 Downregulation of Follistatin Gene Expression in Ameloblasts
Sp6 promotes tooth development by reducing follistatin levels.
research A Glutathione-Dependent Control of the Indole Butyric Acid Pathway Supports Arabidopsis Root System Adaptation to Phosphate Deprivation
Glutathione helps Arabidopsis roots adapt to low phosphate by regulating a specific growth pathway.
research Revisiting Hyper- and Hypo-Androgenism by Tandem Mass Spectrometry
The document concludes that using LC-MS/MS for measuring androgens is more accurate than older methods, but it needs careful validation and standardized references to be most effective.
research Pharmacogenetic Analysis of Human Steroid 5α Reductase Type II: Comparison of Finasteride and Dutasteride
