Steroid hormones are crucial for body functions and have various medical uses, but their misuse can lead to dependence.
research The Editor's Choice: Summary of Studies on Skin and Hair Conditions
UV radiation may cause DNA changes in skin, certain UVB therapy helps psoriasis, a new gene mutation is linked to mild piebaldism, different immune cells affect psoriasis, a drug promotes hair growth, and some cancer drugs could treat skin barrier issues.
research The ZIP7 Gene (Slc39a7) Encodes a Zinc Transporter Involved in Zinc Homeostasis of the Golgi Apparatus
The ZIP7 gene helps control zinc levels in cells by moving zinc from the Golgi apparatus to the cytoplasm.
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 Overexpression of Bcl-2 Protects from Ultraviolet B-Induced Apoptosis but Promotes Hair Follicle Regression and Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia
Bcl-2 overexpression protects against UVB damage but worsens hair loss from chemotherapy.
research Fullerene Nanomaterials Potentiate Hair Growth
Fullerene nanomaterials help hair grow faster and increase hair follicles.
research Pharmacokinetic Parameters and Mechanisms of Inhibition of Rat Type 1 and 2 Steroid 5α-Reductases: Determinants for Different In Vivo Activities of GI198745 and Finasteride in the Rat
GI198745 is more potent and longer-lasting than finasteride, potentially better for treating hair loss.
research Synthesis and In Vitro Evaluation of 4-Substituted N-(1,1-Dimethylethyl)-3-Oxo-4-Androstene-17β-Carboxamides as 5α-Reductase Inhibitors and Antiandrogens
The new compounds moderately block a specific enzyme and strongly counteract a male hormone, suggesting potential for treating certain male-related health conditions.
research Can Plant-Derived Phytochemicals Provide Symptom Relief for Hair Loss? A Critical Review
Some plant-based chemicals may help with hair growth, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness.
research Finasteride Blocks Progesterone Synthesis in MA-10 Leydig Tumor Cells
Finasteride blocks progesterone production in specific tumor cells, potentially causing side effects.
research Evaluating Antiinflammatory and Antiandrogenic Effects of Garden Cress (Lepidium Sativum L.) in HaCaT Cells
Garden cress extract may help treat skin inflammation and androgen-related disorders.
research Ascorbigen Induces Dermal Papilla Cell Proliferation In Vitro, But Fails To Modulate Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia In Vivo
Ascorbigen increases hair cell growth in a lab setting but does not prevent hair loss from chemotherapy in mice.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Gene Therapy: Recent Advances and Applications in Dermatology
Gene therapy shows promise for treating skin disorders and cancer, but faces technical challenges.
research Analytical Methods of Dutasteride: An Overview
Dutasteride is more effective than finasteride for hair loss treatment.
research In Vitro Strategies for Mimicking Dynamic Cell–ECM Reciprocity in 3D Culture Models
The conclusion is that accurately replicating the complexity of the extracellular matrix in the lab is crucial for creating realistic human tissue models.
research Biotin - Facts and Hopes
Biotin is important for health, but taking extra usually doesn't help unless you're deficient.
research Evaluation of Contamination and Quantification of Drug Penetration Studies Using Quantitative Mass Spectrometry Imaging
QMSI is a valuable method for studying drug penetration in skin tissues.
research Comparison of Mesenchymal Progenitor Cell Coating on MBA and DBM as Biochemical Scaffolds
The demineralized bone matrix scaffold is better for cell attachment than the mineralized bone allograft.
research Mechanistic Synergy of Hair Growth Promotion by the Avicennia Marina Extract and Its Active Constituent Avicequinone C in Dermal Papilla Cells Isolated From Androgenic Alopecia Patients
Avicennia marina extract and avicequinone C can potentially promote hair growth and treat hair loss by interfering with hair loss mechanisms and boosting growth factors.
research Oligomeric Procyanidins in Apple Polyphenol Are Main Active Components for Inhibition of Pancreatic Lipase and Triglyceride Absorption
Apple polyphenol, especially oligomeric procyanidins, can reduce fat absorption and lower blood fat levels.
research Androgens and Hair Growth
Androgens can both increase and decrease hair growth in different parts of the body.
research The Pharmacology of Methotrexate
Methotrexate treats various disorders by inhibiting DNA synthesis, but careful monitoring is needed to avoid toxicity and manage side effects.
research An Update on Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia is a genetic disorder with two forms, causing symptoms like early puberty and severe acne, but can be identified through screening and treated with glucocorticoids.
