research Novel TMEM173 Mutation and the Role of Disease-Modifying Alleles
A new mutation in the STING protein causes a range of symptoms and its severity may be affected by other genetic variations; treatment with a specific inhibitor showed improvement in one patient.
research Repurposing Existing Drugs for COVID-19: An Endocrinology Perspective
Existing drug dexamethasone may lower death risk in severe COVID-19 cases; more research needed for other drugs.
research Progesterone, Neurosteroids, and the Hormonal Basis of Catamenial Epilepsy
Progesterone and related compounds may help control seizures linked to the menstrual cycle but have limitations that need addressing.
research Applications and Risks of Nanomaterials Used in Regenerative Medicine, Delivery Systems, Theranostics, and Therapy
Nanomaterials in biomedicine can improve treatments but may have risks like toxicity, needing more safety research.
research Advances in Understanding Hair Growth
Understanding glycans and enzymes that alter them is key to controlling hair growth.
research Pharmacological Activation of Estrogen Receptors-α and -β Differentially Modulates Keratinocyte Differentiation with Functional Impact on Wound Healing
Activating ER-β, not ER-α, improves skin cell growth and wound healing.
research Topical Minoxidil-Loaded Nanotechnology Strategies for Alopecia
Nanotechnology improves minoxidil treatment for hair loss.
research Primary Cicatricial Alopecias
Early diagnosis and aggressive treatment are key for managing rare scalp disorders that cause permanent hair loss.
research Parathyroid Hormone-Related Peptide and the Hair Cycle: Is It the Agonists or the Antagonists That Cause Hair Growth?
PTHRP agonists can stimulate hair growth, especially in damaged follicles, while antagonists may initially increase growth but ultimately inhibit it.
research Treating Psychogenic Nonepileptic Seizures: Easier Said Than Done
Progesterone treatment improved seizures in a woman with menstrual cycle-related epilepsy, but a wrong medication worsened her condition.
research Isolation and Characterization of Recombinant Murine Wnt3a
Scientists successfully purified a protein called Wnt3a, which is involved in processes like hair growth, but the overall yield was low, suggesting more work is needed to improve this.
research Role of Environmental Factors and Gonadotoxin Exposure in Unexplained Male Infertility
Environmental factors and exposure to toxins may contribute to male infertility by affecting sperm and hormone function.
research Implications of Neuroimaging for the Treatment of Epilepsy
Neuroimaging suggests that treatments targeting brain steroids could help control epilepsy, especially types linked to the menstrual cycle.
research Characterization of Novel TMEM173 Mutation with Additive IFIH1 Risk Allele
A new mutation in the TMEM173 gene and a risk allele in IFIH1 cause a unique set of immune-related symptoms.
research Dermal Niche Signaling and Epidermal Stem Cells
Skin health and repair depend on the signals between skin stem cells and their surrounding cells.
research II Nanosciences and Nanotechnology Biomedicals Symposium - Proceedings
Nanotechnology shows promise for better drug delivery and cancer treatment.
research Network Pharmacology Reveals Curcuma Aeruginosa Roxb. Regulates MAPK and HIF-1 Pathways to Treat Androgenetic Alopecia
Curcuma aeruginosa Roxb. may help treat hair loss by affecting specific biological pathways.
research Altered Dermal Fibroblasts in Systemic Sclerosis Display Podoplanin and CD90
Fibroblast changes in systemic sclerosis may help understand disease severity and treatment.
research Marine Health-Promoting Compounds: Recent Trends for Their Characterization and Human Applications
Seaweeds contain beneficial compounds with potential uses in food, cosmetics, and health, but more research is needed to improve extraction and safety.
research Resident Macrophages of the Lung and Liver: The Guardians of Our Tissues
Lung and liver macrophages protect our tissues and their dysfunction can cause various diseases.
research Proceedings of the Ninth World Congress for Hair Research 2015
The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
research Crafting Polymeric and Peptidic Hydrogels for Improved Wound Healing
Advanced hydrogel systems with therapeutic agents could greatly improve acute and chronic wound treatment.
research Transcriptomic Profiling in Silurana Tropicalis Testes Exposed to Finasteride
