research Melatonin Membrane Receptors in Peripheral Tissues: Distribution and Functions
Melatonin affects many body functions beyond sleep by interacting with specific receptors in various tissues.
research Cloning, Computational Analysis and Expression Profiling of Steroid 5 Alpha-Reductase 1 (SRD5A1) Gene During Reproductive Phases and Ovatide Stimulation in Endangered Catfish, Clarias Magur
The research identified and described a gene important for hormone conversion in endangered catfish, which varies in activity during different reproductive stages and after hormone treatment.
research Alopecia in Harlequin Mutant Mice Is Associated with Reduced AIF Protein Levels and Expression of Retroviral Elements
Harlequin mutant mice have hair loss due to low AIF protein levels and retroviral element activity.
research Smad7-Induced Beta-Catenin Degradation Alters Epidermal Appendage Development
Too much Smad7 changes skin and hair development by breaking down a protein called β-catenin, leading to more oil glands and fewer hair follicles.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: Pathogenetic Mechanisms and Treatment Approaches
Androgenic alopecia, a common hair loss condition, is linked to changes in androgen metabolism and genetics, and can be treated with finasteride and minoxidil, but these treatments are only fully effective in 10% of patients.
research Thyroid Autoimmunity in Patients with Skin Disorders
People with alopecia areata often have thyroid autoimmunity.
research Does Prolactin Play a Role in Skin Biology and Pathology?
Prolactin may be important for skin growth and immune function.
research Androgen Metabolism as It Affects Hair Growth in Androgenetic Alopecia
Too much androgen can cause hair loss; finasteride may help.
research Hair Pores Caused by Surfactants via the Cell Membrane Complex and a Prevention Strategy through the Use of Cuticle Sealing
Surfactants damage hair, but sealing the cuticle can prevent this.
research Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia and Increased Scalp Sweating: Is Neurogenic Inflammation the Common Link
Increased scalp sweating in frontal fibrosing alopecia may be linked to local skin inflammation.
research 5α-Reductase Inhibitors: Progress and Therapeutic Potential
5α-reductase inhibitors help treat disorders caused by DHT and have potential for future therapies.
research Changes in Murine Hair with Dietary Selenium Excess or Deficiency
