Shift work disrupts the body's natural clock, leading to health problems.
research A Kaleidoscope of Keratin Gene Expression and the Mosaic of Its Regulatory Mechanisms
Keratin protein production in cells is controlled by a complex system that changes with cell type, health, and conditions like injury or cancer.
research Genetically Modified Laboratory Mice with Sebaceous Glands Abnormalities
Genetic changes in mice help understand skin and hair disorders, aiding treatment development for acne and hair loss.
research Recent Updates of the CRISPR/Cas9 Genome Editing System: Novel Approaches to Regulate Its Spatiotemporal Control by Genetic and Physicochemical Strategies
CRISPR/Cas9 has improved precision and control but still faces clinical challenges.
research Successful Plasmapheresis and Immunoglobulin Treatment for Severe Lipid Storage Myopathy: Doing the Right Thing for the Wrong Reason
Correct diagnosis and treatment are crucial for effective management of lipid storage myopathies.
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 Deletion of DNA Binding Domain of the Vitamin D Receptor Abrogates Genomic and Nongenomic Functions of Vitamin D
Removing part of the vitamin D receptor stops vitamin D from working properly.
research The Biology and Clinical Application of Systemic Glucocorticoids
Glucocorticoids are powerful anti-inflammatory drugs that must be used carefully to avoid serious side effects.
research Gonadal Sex Steroids: Production, Action, and Interactions in Mammals
The document concludes that sex hormones are crucial for mammalian reproduction, health, and behavior, and require more research for therapeutic use.
research Pharmacology of Anabolic Steroids
Anabolic steroids can build muscle and strength but have risks and need more research on their clinical benefits and side effects.
research Acne and Systemic Disease
Hormones, especially androgens, play a key role in acne, which can be a symptom of systemic diseases like PCOS and may require targeted treatment.
research Revising the Role of the Androgen Receptor in Breast Cancer
The document concludes that targeting the androgen receptor may be a promising breast cancer treatment, especially for certain types.
research Androgenetic Alopecia, Metabolic Syndrome, and Insulin Resistance: Is There Any Association? A Case-Control Study
Hair loss linked to metabolic issues and insulin resistance; early assessment may reduce future health risks.
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 Molecular Basis of Androgen Insensitivity
Mutations in the androgen receptor gene cause Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome, affecting sexual development.
research Hormone Therapy in Acne
Hormonal treatment is effective for women with acne not helped by usual treatments, especially if they have hormonal imbalances.
research Interferons in Dermatology
Interferons are effective for some skin conditions and cancers, but can have side effects and need more research for optimal use.
research Consequences of Steroid-5α-Reductase Deficiency and Inhibition in Vertebrates
Lack or blocking of SRD5a, a key component in hormone creation, can lead to conditions like pseudohermaphrodism and affect hair growth, bone mass, muscle strength, and reproductive health. More research is needed on its regulation from fertilization to adulthood.
research Other Antiandrogens: Alternative Treatments for Acne and Hirsutism
Spironolactone works well for acne and hirsutism, isotretinoin is very effective for acne and may have antiandrogenic effects, and 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors should be considered antiandrogens.
research Androgen Effects in Mammals
Testosterone is crucial for development, growth, and various body functions in mammals.
research Hyperadrenocorticism in Ferrets
Hyperadrenocorticism in ferrets is linked to neutering and indoor housing, and is best treated with surgery and a deslorelin implant.
research Immunosuppressive Therapy in Autoimmune Disease: A Review
Immunosuppressive therapy helps manage autoimmune diseases but carries risks like infection and potential for malignancy.
research Identification of 5α-Reductase Isoenzymes in Canine Skin
Two types of 5α-reductase are in dog skin, which might make dutasteride better than finasteride for treating dog hair loss.
research Hirsutism and Virilization in the Female
The chapter explains the causes of excessive hair growth and masculinization in women and how to measure hormone levels related to these conditions.
research Acne-Associated Syndromes
Acne is linked to inflammation and insulin resistance, and is associated with various syndromes that require different treatments.
research Alopecia: Managing the Basics
The document concludes that treatments for female hair loss and excess body hair are available, but managing expectations is important.
