research The 5 Alpha-Reductase Isozyme Family: A Review of Basic Biology and Their Role in Human Diseases
The document concludes that the 5 alpha-reductase enzymes are important in steroid metabolism and related to various human diseases, with inhibitors used to treat conditions like male pattern baldness and prostate issues.
research The Clinical Development of a 5α-Reductase Inhibitor, Finasteride
Finasteride effectively treats BPH, but needs more trials to understand potential.
research Dermatoses of Pregnancy
Pregnancy can cause various skin changes and diseases, with PUPPP being the most common skin condition specific to pregnancy.
research Finasteride
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate and may help with baldness, but effects on sexual function and male fetuses are unclear.
research Vitamin D Metabolism and Function in the Skin
Skin cells produce and activate vitamin D, which regulates skin functions and supports hair growth.
research Decreased Serum Ferritin Is Associated With Alopecia in Women
Low iron levels may be linked to some types of hair loss in women.
research Androgens and Human Hair Growth
Androgens can cause hair growth in some areas and hair loss on the scalp.
research The Harmonies Played by TGF-β in Stem Cell Biology
TGF-β is crucial for controlling stem cell behavior and changes in its signaling can lead to diseases like cancer.
research Molecular Biology of Hair Morphogenesis: Development and Cycling
Understanding hair growth involves complex interactions between molecules and could help treat hair disorders.
research Estrogens and Aging Skin
Estrogen therapy can reduce skin aging but has cancer risks.
research The Lysosomal Protease Cathepsin L Is an Important Regulator of Keratinocyte and Melanocyte Differentiation During Hair Follicle Morphogenesis and Cycling
Cathepsin L is essential for normal hair growth and development.
research WNT Signaling in Disease
The WNT signaling pathway is important in many diseases and targeting it could offer new treatments.
research Vitamin D and the Skin: Focus on a Complex Relationship
Vitamin D is important for skin health and may affect conditions like psoriasis and hair loss, but more research is needed to understand its role fully.
research Linking Diet to Acne Metabolomics, Inflammation, and Comedogenesis: An Update
Eating less sugar, milk, and saturated fats and more vegetables and fish may help treat and prevent acne.
research Human Hair Follicle Organ Culture: Theory, Application, and Perspectives
Human hair follicle organ culture is a useful model for hair research with potential for studying hair biology and testing treatments.
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 Hair Growth Inhibition by Psychoemotional Stress: A Mouse Model for Neural Mechanisms in Hair Growth Control
Stress can stop hair growth in mice, and treatments can reverse this effect.
research Physiological and Retinoid-Induced Proliferations of Epidermis Basal Keratinocytes Are Differently Controlled
Normal skin cell renewal doesn't need RAR signaling, but vitamin A-related skin thickening does.
research The Role of Androgen and Androgen Receptor in Skin-Related Disorders
Targeting androgen receptors could be a promising way to treat skin disorders with fewer side effects.
research Molecular Basis of Androgenetic Alopecia: From Androgen to Paracrine Mediators Through Dermal Papilla
Male pattern baldness involves hormones and cell signals affecting hair growth.
research The Role of Melatonin in Neuroectodermal-Mesodermal Interactions: The Hair Follicle Synthesizes Melatonin and Expresses Functional Melatonin Receptors
Hair follicles produce and respond to melatonin, affecting hair growth and sensitivity to estrogen.
research Hair Regrowth
Finasteride and minoxidil are effective for hair regrowth, while treatments for alopecia areata have varying success and continuous treatment is necessary.
research Thyroid Hormones Directly Alter Human Hair Follicle Functions: Anagen Prolongation and Stimulation of Both Hair Matrix Keratinocyte Proliferation and Hair Pigmentation
Thyroid hormones help hair grow, reduce hair loss, and increase hair pigment.
research 5α-Reductase Inhibition Prevents the Luteal Phase Increase in Plasma Allopregnanolone Levels and Mitigates Symptoms in Women with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder
High-dose dutasteride reduces PMDD symptoms by stabilizing neurosteroid levels.
research Androgen Receptor-Mediated Inhibition of Cutaneous Wound Healing
Lowering testosterone speeds up wound healing in male mice.
research Cloning of a Functional Vitamin D Receptor from the Lamprey, an Ancient Vertebrate Lacking a Calcified Skeleton and Teeth
Lampreys have a functional vitamin D receptor that may help detoxify harmful substances.
research FGF Family: From Drug Development to Clinical Application
FGF signaling is a promising target for developing treatments for wounds, metabolic diseases, and cancer.
research Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia
Chemotherapy often causes temporary hair loss, which is distressing and needs better treatment and support.
research Growth Factors and Cytokines in Hair Follicle Development and Cycling: Recent Insights from Animal Models and the Potentials for Clinical Therapy
Growth factors and cytokines are important for hair growth and could potentially treat hair loss, but more research is needed to overcome challenges before they can be used in treatments.
