November 2022 in “International Journal of General Medicine” Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome are more likely to have Non-Alcoholic Fatty Pancreas Disease, which is associated with older age, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and high male hormone levels.
October 2022 in “Frontiers in Endocrinology” New tools show that in fish, NPY increases feeding and somatostatin decreases it.
February 2022 in “Mediators of Inflammation” Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) have lower levels of a substance called DIAPH1 in their blood, which is linked to changes in sugar metabolism and insulin resistance.
January 2022 in “IntechOpen eBooks” Some lesser-known causes of PCOS include autoimmune issues, genetic mutations, and changes in the body's microbiome.
Androgen suppression therapy (AST) doesn't significantly lower bladder cancer risk, but using finasteride, a type of AST, might reduce it. AST decreases recurrence-free survival but doesn't affect overall survival or progression-free survival. More research is needed to understand AST's benefits.
Androgen suppression therapy (AST) doesn't significantly lower bladder cancer risk, but using finasteride, a type of AST, might decrease the risk. AST also lessens the chance of cancer coming back but doesn't really affect survival rates. More research is needed to understand AST's benefits for different bladder cancers.
August 2020 in “Pakistan Journal of Zoology” A new mutation in the Hairless gene causes hair loss in two Pakistani families.
May 2020 in “Authorea (Authorea)” Olfactory receptors found outside the nose may offer new treatments for diseases like cancer and help in wound healing and hair growth.
January 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings” 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.
March 2024 in “Journal of functional foods” Collagen peptides from marine and bovine sources may help prevent hair loss by affecting hair follicle stem cells differently.
January 2024 in “Authorea (Authorea)” Nanomaterials can significantly improve wound healing and future treatments may include smart, real-time monitoring.
January 2024 in “Journal of lipid research” Finasteride may lower cholesterol and slow heart disease progression.
April 2023 in “Chinese Medical Journal” The study explored the effects of human hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hHF-MSCs) on Achilles tendinopathy repair in rabbits. Results showed that hHF-MSCs significantly improved tendon repair, with better collagen fiber arrangement, increased prokaryotic cell numbers, and higher maximum tensile strength compared to untreated tendons. Molecular analyses revealed elevated expression of repair-related genes and proteins. These findings suggest that hHF-MSCs have potential as a regenerative treatment for tendon injuries.
