Cyclosporin A helps mice grow hair by blocking a specific protein activity in skin cells.
research Targeted Expression of Human Vitamin D Receptor in the Skin Promotes the Initiation of the Postnatal Hair Follicle Cycle and Rescues Alopecia in Vitamin D Receptor Null Mice
Vitamin D receptor is crucial for starting hair growth after birth.
research The Dihydrotestosterone Hypothesis of Prostate Cancer and Its Therapeutic Implications
The document suggests that targeting the hormone DHT could be a more effective treatment for prostate cancer than targeting testosterone.
research Current Evidence for Clinical Efficacy of Platelet-Rich Plasma in Aesthetic Surgery: A Systematic Review
The document concludes that the effectiveness of platelet rich plasma in aesthetic surgery is unclear due to inconsistent reporting and lack of objective measures in studies.
research Induction of Transforming Growth Factor-Beta 1 by Androgen Is Mediated by Reactive Oxygen Species in Hair Follicle Dermal Papilla Cells
Androgens increase a growth factor in hair cells by creating reactive oxygen species, and antioxidants might help treat hair loss.
research Modulation of Glucocorticoid Action and the Treatment of Type-2 Diabetes
Targeting glucocorticoid action might help treat type-2 diabetes, but human trials are needed.
research Bacteria Induce Skin Regeneration via IL-1β Signaling
Skin bacteria, specifically Staphylococcus aureus, help in wound healing and hair growth by using IL-1β signaling. Using antibiotics on skin wounds can slow down this natural healing process.
research Defects in Mitochondrial DNA Replication and Oxidative Damage in Muscle of mtDNA Mutator Mice
Defective mitochondrial DNA replication causes aging symptoms and increased oxidative damage in mice.
research How to Diagnose a Lipodystrophy Syndrome
The document concludes that recognizing and properly diagnosing lipodystrophy syndromes is crucial for effective management and treatment.
research Prolactin Delays Hair Regrowth in Mice
Prolactin slows down hair growth in mice.
research Novel Therapeutic Approaches in Utilizing Platelet Lysate in Regenerative Medicine: Are We Ready for Clinical Use?
Platelet lysate is a promising, cost-effective option for regenerative medicine with potential clinical applications.
research Steroidal 5α-Reductase and 17α-Hydroxylase/17,20-Lyase (CYP17) Inhibitors Useful in the Treatment of Prostatic Diseases
Certain drugs that block specific enzymes can help treat prostate diseases.
research Finasteride for Female Androgenetic Alopecia
Finasteride increases hair density in female androgenetic alopecia, but individual results may vary.
research Design of a Biofluid-Absorbing Bioactive Sandwich-Structured Zn–Si Bioceramic Composite Wound Dressing for Hair Follicle Regeneration and Skin Burn Wound Healing
Wound dressing absorbs fluid, regenerates hair follicles, and heals skin burns.
research Vitamin D-Dependent Rickets Type II: Extreme End Organ Resistance to 1,25-Dihydroxy Vitamin D3 in a Patient Without Alopecia
A boy with severe Vitamin D-resistant rickets did not respond to treatment and lacked a common symptom, suggesting a need for alternative treatments.
research Hyperandrogenism in Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and Role of CYP Gene Variants: A Review
Certain gene variants may contribute to high androgen levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Red Ginseng Extract Promotes Hair Growth in Cultured Human Hair Follicles
Red Ginseng Extract may help human hair grow by activating growth pathways and blocking negative effects of certain hormones.
research The Pharmacologic Treatment of Muscle Pain
The document concludes that more research is needed to understand how to treat muscle pain with drugs.
research Selective Non-Steroidal Inhibitors of 5α-Reductase Type 1
Selective non-steroidal inhibitors of 5α-reductase type 1 can help treat DHT-related disorders.
research The Expression of Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 in Follicular Dermal Papillae Correlates with Therapeutic Efficacy of Finasteride in Androgenetic Alopecia
Higher IGF-1 levels in hair follicles link to better finasteride results for hair loss.
research A Combined Regimen of Cyproterone Acetate and Testosterone Enanthate as a Potentially Highly Effective Male Contraceptive
The combination of cyproterone acetate and testosterone enanthate is highly effective in preventing sperm production and could be a good reversible male contraceptive.
research Expression and Roles of Steroidogenic Acute Regulatory (StAR) Protein in Non-Classical, Extra-Adrenal, and Extra-Gonadal Cells and Tissues
The protein StAR is found in 17 different organs and can affect hair loss and brain functions, but its full role is not yet fully understood.
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.
