research Pantolactams as Androgen Receptor Antagonists for the Topical Suppression of Sebum Production
Pfizer found that pantolactam-based compounds can reduce sebum (skin oil) production when applied topically.
research Prostaglandin Metabolism in Human Hair Follicle
Human hair follicles can make and process prostaglandins, which may affect hair growth.
research Inhibition of 5α-Reductase Impairs Cognitive Performance, Alters Dendritic Morphology, and Increases Tau Phosphorylation in the Hippocampus of Male 3xTg-AD Mice
Blocking 5α-reductase can harm memory and brain structure, and increase harmful brain changes in male mice used for Alzheimer's disease research.
research The Human Tri-Peptide GHK and Tissue Remodeling
The peptide GHK-Cu helps heal and remodel tissue, improves skin and hair health, and has potential for treating age-related inflammatory diseases.
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 Baiting Proteins with C60
C60 fullerenes can alter protein function and may help develop new disease inhibitors.
research Developmental Plasticity of Patterned and Regenerating Oral Organs
Fish teeth and taste bud densities are linked and can change between types due to shared genetic and molecular factors.
research Minireview: Vitamin D Receptor: New Assignments for an Already Busy Receptor
The vitamin D receptor has many roles in the body beyond managing calcium, affecting the immune system, hair growth, muscles, fat, bone marrow, and cancer cells.
research Vitamin D Receptor: New Assignments for an Already Busy Receptor
The vitamin D receptor is involved in multiple body functions beyond calcium regulation, including immune response and rapid reactions not related to gene activity.
research Intracrine Androgen Biosynthesis, Metabolism, and Action Revisited
The document concludes that blocking the internal pathways that create androgens might help treat cancers that depend on sex hormones.
research The Biological Actions of Dehydroepiandrosterone Involve Multiple Receptors
DHEA affects multiple receptors and may help with metabolic issues, but its safety and effectiveness in humans are unclear.
research Long-Term Administration of Triterpenoids From Ganoderma Lucidum Mitigates Age-Associated Brain Physiological Decline via Regulating Sphingolipid Metabolism and Enhancing Autophagy in Mice
Taking triterpenoids from Ganoderma lucidum over a long time can help slow down brain aging and improve overall health in mice.

Lipin-1 is important for skin cell differentiation and skin barrier function.
research Epithelial Stem Cells And Implications For Wound Repair
Different types of stem cells in hair follicles play unique roles in wound healing and hair growth, with some stem cells not originating from existing hair follicles but from non-hair follicle cells. WNT signaling and the Lhx2 factor are key in creating new hair follicles.
research Peripheral Androgens And The Role Of Androstanediol Glucuronide
Androstanediol glucuronide is a reliable marker for hirsutism in women.
