The conclusion is that Pigmented Epithelioid Melanocytoma can start from hair follicle stem cells or from a mole on the skin.
research Distinctive Acne Entities
Acne can appear or persist in adulthood due to hormonal changes, external factors, or substance use, and requires appropriate treatment.
research Pharmacological Basis for Clinical Use of Antiandrogens
Cyproterone acetate is used to treat conditions like prostate cancer, early puberty, excessive sexual drive, and female androgenization by affecting androgen functions and suppressing certain hormones.
research Canine Follicle Stem Cell Candidates Reside in the Bulge and Share Characteristic Features with Human Bulge Cells
Canine hair follicles have stem cells similar to human hair follicles, useful for studying hair disorders.
research The Role of PPARγ-Mediated Signalling in Skin Biology and Pathology: New Targets and Opportunities for Clinical Dermatology
PPARγ is crucial for skin health but can have both beneficial and harmful effects.
research Role of FGFR2-Signaling in the Pathogenesis of Acne
Increased FGFR2b signaling, influenced by androgens, plays a role in causing acne.
research Human Hair Follicles Are an Extrarenal Source and a Nonhematopoietic Target of Erythropoietin
Human hair follicles produce and respond to erythropoietin, helping protect against stress.
research The Antiandrogenic Action of 4-Androsten-3-One-17β-Carboxylic Acid and Its Methyl Ester on Hamster Flank Organ

research Comparison of Artificial Sebum with Human and Hamster Sebum Samples
Artificial sebum L closely mimics human sebum for drug delivery research.
research Effect of Saw Palmetto Supplements on Androgen-Sensitive LNCaP Human Prostate Cancer Cell Number and Syrian Hamster Flank Organ Growth
Saw palmetto supplements may reduce prostate cancer cell growth without being toxic.
research Androgen Binding to Cytosol and Nuclei of Hamster Sebaceous Glands
Dihydrotestosterone specifically binds to hamster sebaceous glands, with a higher affinity than testosterone.
research Comparison Between Two Different Hamster Models Used for the Determination of Testosterone and Finasteride Activity
Young and adult hamsters both respond similarly to testosterone and finasteride treatments, but young hamsters aren't good for testing the inhibitory activity of a specific enzyme.
research Androgen Regulation of a Specific Gene in Hamster Flank Organs
Male hormones control a specific gene in hamster skin, with different hormones having varying effects.
research Selective Induction of Apoptosis in the Hamster Flank Sebaceous Gland Organ by a Topical Liposome 5-Alpha-Reductase Inhibitor: A Treatment Strategy for Acne
A topical treatment safely and effectively reduced acne by causing targeted cell death in sebaceous glands without side effects.
research Adrenal Steroid Precursors Exert Potent Androgenic Action in the Hamster Sebaceous Glands of Flank Organs and Ears
Certain adrenal hormones can strongly stimulate oil gland growth in hamster skin, similar to male hormones.
research The Promoter of an Androgen Dependent Gene in the Hamster Flank Organ
Researchers found a gene in hamsters that responds to male hormones and may be indirectly controlled by them.
research Relative Binding Affinity of Novel Steroids to Androgen Receptors in Hamster Prostate
New steroids were effective in blocking male hormone receptors in hamster prostates.
research Effect of Carbamates on mRNA Encoding Lipid Enzymes in Hamster Flank Organs
Carbamates may help treat androgen-dependent conditions by changing how certain lipid enzymes are produced.
![Activity of 17β-(N-Alkyl/Arylformamido) and 17β-[(N-Alkyl/Aryl) Alkyl/Arylamido]-4-Methyl-4-Aza-5α-Androstan-3-Ones as 5α-Reductase Inhibitors in the Hamster Flank Organ and Ear](/images/research/861159f1-7bd4-420c-a16b-4829458efe68/small/15592.jpg)
