research Role of Environmental Factors and Gonadotoxin Exposure in Unexplained Male Infertility
Environmental factors and exposure to toxins may contribute to male infertility by affecting sperm and hormone function.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Signaling Pathways in Hair Aging
Hair aging is caused by stress, hormones, inflammation, and DNA damage affecting hair growth and color.
