research Metabolic Dysfunction in Female Mice with Disruption of 5α-Reductase 1
Female mice with disrupted 5α-reductase 1 had significant metabolic issues, including stress response problems, insulin resistance, liver fat buildup, and obesity.
research A Brief Study on Alopecia Areata
Alopecia areata causes hair loss with varied treatment responses and frequent relapses.
research Efficacy of Metformin Therapy in Adolescent Girls with Androgen Excess: Relation to Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin and Androgen Receptor Polymorphisms
Metformin works better for adolescent girls with PCOS who have certain genetic variations.
research It's X-Related: Biological Bases of Increased COVID-19 Morbidity and Mortality in Men
Men have worse COVID-19 outcomes than women due to genetic and hormonal differences.
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
research Identification of Factors Contributing to Phenotypic Divergence via Quantitative Image Analyses of Autosomal Recessive Woolly Hair/Hypotrichosis with Homozygous c.736T>A LIPH Mutation
Different hair fiber development might explain why hair loss severity varies in patients with a specific genetic mutation, and treatments that thicken hair could help.
research Comprehensive Overview of Rheumatology Studies: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, February 13–16, 2013
The document concludes that various findings in rheumatology offer insights into disease severity, treatment responses, and potential risks in medication, with some limitations due to unspecified participant numbers.
research Updates in the Pathogenesis of Alopecia Areata
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition causing hair loss, linked to genetic factors and immune system issues, with no cure yet.
research Generalized Glucocorticoid Resistance
Mutations in the glucocorticoid receptor gene cause reduced sensitivity to glucocorticoids and may lead to poor response to treatment.
research Regulatory Network of Ginsenoside Biosynthesis Under Ro Stress in the Hairy Roots of Panax Ginseng Revealed by RNA Sequencing
Ro stress hindered ginseng root growth and ginsenoside production, but increased certain hormones and affected gene regulation related to plant growth and stress responses.
research Understanding Causes of Hair Loss in Women
The conclusion is that hair loss in women is caused by a mix of hormonal, environmental, and genetic factors, and treatments should target these various causes.
research Alopecia Areata Incognita
Alopecia areata incognita causes sudden hair thinning, responds well to steroids, and is more common in those with genetic hair loss conditions.
