research Alternative Uses of Dermoscopy in Daily Clinical Practice: An Update
Dermoscopy is useful for diagnosing various skin, hair, and nail disorders and can reduce the need for biopsies.
research The Bright Side of Fibroblasts: Molecular Signature and Regenerative Cues in Major Organs
Fibroblasts, cells usually linked to tissue repair, also help regenerate various organs and their ability decreases with age. Turning adult fibroblasts back to a younger state could be a new treatment approach.
research Evidence for Various Calcium Sites in Human Hair Shaft Revealed by Sub-Micrometer X-Ray Fluorescence
The research found two types of calcium in human hair, one that varies among individuals and another that is consistent across people.
research A Hypothetical Pathogenesis Model for Androgenic Alopecia: Clarifying the Dihydrotestosterone Paradox and Rate-Limiting Recovery Factors
The model suggests that scalp tension could lead to hair loss, with factors like blood vessel hardening, enlarged oil glands, and poor microcirculation also playing a role. It also hints at a possible link between skull shape and baldness pattern.
research Trichoscopy Tips
Trichoscopy is a useful tool for diagnosing hair and scalp issues, but doctors must be careful to avoid mistakes.
research Estimating the Contribution of the Prostate to Blood Dihydrotestosterone
The normal human prostate does not significantly affect blood DHT levels.
research Aging in the Male Face: Intrinsic and Extrinsic Factors
Male faces age with more wrinkles and hair loss, influenced by both body changes and environmental factors.
research Expression and Function of Nuclear Receptor Co-Activator 4: Evidence of a Potential Role Independent of Co-Activator Activity
NcoA4 may have roles beyond helping control gene activity, possibly affecting cell behavior and stability.
research The Topography of Fibrous Scaffolds Modulates the Paracrine Function of Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells in the Regeneration of Skin Tissues
The shape of fibrous scaffolds can improve how stem cells help heal skin.
research VEGF Upregulates VEGF Receptor-2 on Human Outer Root Sheath Cells and Stimulates Proliferation Through ERK Pathway
VEGF stimulates hair cell growth and increases growth receptor levels through a specific signaling pathway.
research Effect of Castration and Finasteride on Urinary Oxalate Excretion in Male Rats
Castration and finasteride lower urinary oxalate in male rats, potentially treating urolithiasis.
research The Antiandrogenic Effect of Finasteride Against a Mutant Androgen Receptor
Finasteride may improve prostate cancer treatment outcomes.
research Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia Presenting with Irregular Patchy Alopecia on the Lateral and Posterior Scalp
The report found a new type of hair loss in African-American women that affects more areas of the scalp than previously thought.
research Weathering of the Hairless Scalp: A Study Using Skin Capacitance Imaging and Ultraviolet Light-Enhanced Visualization
The study found that long-term sun exposure does not significantly affect follicular plugs on the scalp, and the scalp's appearance is unique compared to other body parts.
research Prostaglandin D2-Mediated DP2 and AKT Signal Regulate the Activation of Androgen Receptors in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
PGD2 increases androgen receptor activity in hair cells, which could be targeted to treat hair loss.
research Novel Insights Into the Pathways Regulating the Canine Hair Cycle and Their Deregulation in Alopecia X
The study concluded that similar pathways regulate hair growth in dogs and mice, and these pathways are disrupted in dogs with Alopecia X, affecting stem cells and hormone metabolism.
research Serum Prolactin and Dehydroepiandrosterone Concentrations During the Summer and Winter Hair Growth Cycles of Mink (Mustela Vison)
Changes in prolactin and DHEA levels are not required for the start of mink hair growth cycles.
research Analysis of lncRNAs Expression Profiles in Hair Follicles of Hu Sheep Lambskin
lncRNAs may regulate hair follicle development in Hu sheep.
research Association Between Insulin Resistance and Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Patients
Insulin resistance is common in PCOS patients and linked to obesity and increased cardiovascular risk.
research Testosterone in Women: Measurement and Therapeutic Use
Testosterone therapy can modestly improve sexual function in menopausal women but should be used cautiously and is not recommended for routine measurement in sexual dysfunction or hirsutism.
research Androgen Receptor Activation Integrates Complex Transcriptional Effects in Osteoblasts, Involving the Growth Factors TGF-β and IGF-I, and Transcription Factor C/EBPδ
DHT affects bone growth by altering gene activity in osteoblasts, potentially complicating steroid use.
research Improving Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator Discovery and Preclinical Evaluation
We need better ways to test and understand SARMs to make safer and more effective treatments.
research The Safety of Testosterone Therapy in Women
Testosterone therapy seems safe for short-term use in postmenopausal women with low sexual desire, but more research on long-term effects is needed.
