research Keratins in Health and Cancer: More Than Mere Epithelial Cell Markers
Keratins help protect cells, aid in cancer diagnosis, and influence cancer behavior and treatment.
research Is Dehydroepiandrosterone a Hormone?
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a prohormone important for producing sex steroids and has potential health benefits.
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 Minoxidil: Mechanisms of Action on Hair Growth
Minoxidil boosts hair growth by opening potassium channels and increasing cell activity.
research The Neurobiology of Sexual Function
Testosterone is important for men's sexual function, may help some women's sexual desire, while other hormones and neurotransmitters also play complex roles in sexual behavior.
research Defining the Impact of Beta-Catenin/Tcf Transactivation on Epithelial Stem Cells
β-catenin is essential for stem cell activation and proliferation in hair follicles.
research Neuroimmunology of Stress: Skin Takes Center Stage
Stress can worsen skin and hair conditions by affecting the skin's immune response and hormone levels.
research Complications of Cushing's Syndrome: State of the Art
Cushing's syndrome can cause serious health problems, and early treatment is crucial, but some issues may remain after treatment.
research Auxin And Ethylene: Collaborators Or Competitors?
Auxin and ethylene hormones both work together and against each other to control plant growth.
research The Cutaneous Serotoninergic/Melatoninergic System: Securing a Place Under the Sun

Calreticulin has roles in healing, immune response, and disease beyond its known functions in the endoplasmic reticulum.
research Recent Understandings of Biology, Prophylaxis, and Treatment Strategies for Hypertrophic Scars and Keloids
The document concludes that the understanding of scar formation is incomplete and current prevention and treatment for hypertrophic scars and keloids are not fully effective.
research Sexual Hormones in Human Skin
Human skin makes sexual hormones that affect hair growth, skin health, and healing; too much can cause acne and hair loss, while treatments can manage these conditions.
research Mesenchymal–Epithelial Interactions During Hair Follicle Morphogenesis and Cycling
The conclusion is that certain cell interactions and signals are crucial for hair growth and regeneration.
research Molecular Control of Epithelial-Mesenchymal Interactions During Hair Follicle Cycling
Epithelial-mesenchymal interactions control hair growth cycles through specific molecular signals.
research Deletion of DNA Binding Domain of the Vitamin D Receptor Abrogates Genomic and Nongenomic Functions of Vitamin D
Removing part of the vitamin D receptor stops vitamin D from working properly.
research SRD5A3 Is Required for Converting Polyprenol to Dolichol and Is Mutated in a Congenital Glycosylation Disorder
Mutations in the SRD5A3 gene cause a new type of glycosylation disorder by blocking the production of a molecule necessary for protein glycosylation.
research Interrelation of Immunity and Tissue Repair or Regeneration
The immune system plays a key role in tissue repair, affecting both healing quality and regenerative ability.
research Melatonin in the Skin: Synthesis, Metabolism, and Functions
Melatonin in the skin helps protect against damage from stress and UV rays, and could be used to treat certain skin conditions.
research The Pathophysiology of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
