research Sulphation Catalyzed by the Human Cytosolic Sulphotransferases: Chemical Defense or Molecular Terrorism?
Human enzymes can detoxify harmful substances but might also increase their cancer risk.
research Improving Translational Research in Sex-Specific Effects of Comorbidities and Risk Factors in Ischemic Heart Disease and Cardioprotection: Position Paper and Recommendations of the ESC Working Group on Cellular Biology of the Heart
The document concludes that future heart disease research should account for sex-specific differences to improve diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes.
research Loss of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in Human Alopecia Hair Follicles
Hair follicles in people with alopecia have lower levels of a key blood vessel growth protein.
research Electrophysiological Mechanisms of Minoxidil Sulfate-Induced Vasodilation of Rabbit Portal Vein
The study explains how minoxidil sulfate causes vasodilation in rabbits by opening potassium channels and inhibiting calcium channels.
research Effects of Nitrendipine, Nifedipine, Verapamil, Phentolamine, Papaverine, and Minoxidil on Contractions of Isolated Rabbit Aortic Smooth Muscle
Nitrendipine and nifedipine effectively block muscle contractions, while papaverine relaxes them and minoxidil needs high amounts to work.
research Adaptations in the Structure and Innervation of Follicle-Sinus Complexes to an Aquatic Environment as Seen in the Florida Manatee (Trichechus Manatus Latirostris)
Manatee whiskers are specially adapted for touch in water.
research Localization of Minoxidil Sulfotransferase in Rat Liver and the Outer Root Sheath of Anagen Pelage and Vibrissa Follicles
Minoxidil works in liver and outer hair root sheath for hair growth.
research Biology of Hair Growth
Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone affect hair growth, and new techniques like the folliculogram help study it, but fully understanding hair growth is still complex.
research Efficacy of 5% Minoxidil Versus Combined 5% Minoxidil and 0.01% Tretinoin for Male Pattern Hair Loss
Combined minoxidil and tretinoin solution works as well as regular minoxidil for male hair loss.
research How to Distinguish Medicalization from Over-Medicalization?
The article suggests using four questions to tell apart necessary medicalization from excessive medicalization, focusing on problem significance, social expectations, medical understanding, and effective resolution.
research Control by a Hair’s Breadth: The Role of MicroRNAs in the Skin
MicroRNAs play a crucial role in skin and hair health, affecting everything from growth to aging, and could potentially be used in treating skin diseases.
research Post-Finasteride Syndrome and Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction: Two Sides of the Same Coin?
PFS and PSSD are similar conditions with persistent sexual dysfunction after stopping medication.
research Anatomy and Function of the Skin
The skin is the largest organ, protecting the body, regulating temperature, and producing hormones.
research The Pharmacologic Basis of the Cardiovascular Toxicity of Minoxidil in the Dog
Minoxidil can harm dog's heart.
research Refinement of Technique in Injection Lipolysis Based on Scientific Studies and Clinical Evaluation
Injection lipolysis effectively reduces small fat deposits and should be done with care and proper patient selection.
research Hair Follicle Biology and Topical Minoxidil: Possible Mechanisms of Action
Minoxidil stimulates hair growth by increasing hair thickness and prolonging growth phase.
research Epigenetic Control of Skin and Hair Regeneration After Wounding
Skin and hair can regenerate after injury due to changes in gene activity, with potential links to how cancer spreads. Future research should focus on how new hair follicles form and the processes that trigger their creation.
research Skin: Basic Structure and Function
The skin is a complex barrier that protects the body, regulates temperature, and helps with immune responses.
research Neuroactive Gonadal Drugs for Neuroprotection in Male and Female Models of Parkinson's Disease
Some hormone-related drugs may protect brain cells in Parkinson's disease differently in men and women.
research Biphasic Effects of Minoxidil on the Proliferation and Differentiation of Normal Human Keratinocytes
Minoxidil affects cell growth in two ways: low doses increase growth, while high doses slow it down and can be toxic.
research Quantification of Reproductive Hormones in Hair of Captive Adult Brown Bears and Their Application as Indicators of Sex and Reproductive State
Measuring reproductive hormones in brown bear hair could help identify their sex and reproductive state, but better collection methods or lab techniques are needed.
research Afamin Serum Concentrations Are Associated With Insulin Resistance and Metabolic Syndrome in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
High afamin levels are linked to metabolic syndrome and may predict its development in women with insulin resistance.
research The Lack of Significant Changes in Scalp Hair Follicle Density With Advancing Age
Aging alone barely affects the number of hair follicles, meaning hair loss is minimal without other conditions like androgenetic alopecia.
research Minoxidil Stimulates Elastin Expression in Aortic Smooth Muscle Cells
research The Therapeutic Use of Topical Minoxidil
Minoxidil effectively treats hair loss, with better results in women.
research FOXN1 Deficient Nude Severe Combined Immunodeficiency
FOXN1 gene mutations cause a rare, severe immune disease treatable with cell or tissue transplants.
research Minoxidil Sulfation in the Hair Follicle
Minoxidil helps hair growth by activating enzymes in hair follicles.
research MicroRNAs in the Skin: Role in Development, Homeostasis, and Regeneration
MicroRNAs are important for skin health and could be targets for new skin disorder treatments.
research Ethnomedicinal Plants Used by Traditional Healers in the Management of HIV/AIDS Opportunistic Diseases in Rundu, Kavango East Region, Namibia
