research Gene Expression Patterns During Palatal Shelf Fusion
Several genes, including Hox-7A, Stra6, and Lim-1, are involved in normal palate formation.
research Intratumoral De Novo Steroid Synthesis Activates Androgen Receptor in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer and Is Upregulated by Treatment with CYP17A1 Inhibitors
Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.
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 Cell-Type-Specific Chromatin States Differentially Prime Squamous Cell Carcinoma Tumor-Initiating Cells for Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition
Different types of skin cells have unique genetic markers that affect how likely they are to spread cancer.
research Probing the Effects of Stress Mediators on the Human Hair Follicle
Stress-related substance P may lead to hair loss and negatively affect hair growth.
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 Phase I Study of the Hedgehog Pathway Inhibitor IPI-926 in Adult Patients with Solid Tumors
The drug IPI-926 is safe at 160 mg daily and may help treat certain tumors, especially basal cell carcinoma.
research Probiotic Bacteria Induce a Glow of Health
Probiotic bacteria improved skin and hair health in aged mice.
research Neurogenic Inflammation in Stress-Induced Termination of Murine Hair Growth Is Promoted by Nerve Growth Factor
Stress increases a factor in mice that leads to hair loss, and blocking this factor may prevent it.
research Development and Progression of Alopecia in the Vitamin D Receptor Null Mouse
Mice without the vitamin D receptor gene lose hair due to disrupted hair follicle cycles.
research Control of Pelage Hair Follicle Development and Cycling by Complex Interactions Between Follistatin and Activin
Follistatin helps hair growth and cycling, while activin prevents it.
research Bioengineering a 3D Integumentary Organ System from iPS Cells Using an In Vivo Transplantation Model
Researchers created a fully functional, bioengineered skin system with hair from stem cells that successfully integrated when transplanted into mice.
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 Molecular Basis of Hair Cell Loss
The document concludes that there are no effective clinical treatments for hearing loss due to hair cell damage, but research is ongoing.
research Control of Human Hair Growth by Neurotrophins: Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Inhibits Hair Shaft Elongation, Induces Catagen, and Stimulates Follicular Transforming Growth Factor Beta 2 Expression
Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) slows down hair growth and promotes hair follicle regression.
research Targeting Superficial or Nodular Basal Cell Carcinoma with Topically Formulated Small Molecule Inhibitor of Smoothened
The topical inhibitor CUR61414 was not effective in treating basal cell carcinoma in human trials.
research Hedgehog Signaling Maintains Hair Follicle Stem Cell Phenotype in Young and Aged Human Skin
Hedgehog signaling helps keep hair follicle stem cells the same in both young and old human skin.
