150-180 / 1000+ results research Transport of Biotin in Human Keratinocytes
Human skin cells have a high-affinity system for biotin transport, crucial for skin health.
research Stress-Induced Production of Chemokines by Hair Follicles Regulates the Trafficking of Dendritic Cells in Skin
Hair follicles help attract immune cells to the skin during stress.
research Steroidogenesis Inhibitors Alter But Do Not Eliminate Androgen Synthesis Mechanisms During Progression to Castration-Resistance in LNCaP Prostate Xenografts
Steroidogenesis inhibitors change but don't stop androgen production in prostate cancer.
research Glossary
research Adipose Tissue-Derived Stromal Vascular Fraction in Regenerative Medicine: A Brief Review on Biology and Translation
Fat tissue-derived cells show promise for repairing body tissues, but more research and regulation are needed for safe use.
research Intradermal Adipocytes Mediate Fibroblast Recruitment During Skin Wound Healing
Fat cells help recruit healing cells and build skin structure during wound healing.
research Dermal β-Catenin Activity in Response to Epidermal Wnt Ligands Is Required for Fibroblast Proliferation and Hair Follicle Initiation
Skin needs dermal β-catenin activity for hair growth and skin cell multiplication.
research The Psychological Effects of Androgenetic Alopecia in Men
Hair loss can cause low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression in men.
research Finasteride
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate and may help with baldness, but effects on sexual function and male fetuses are unclear.
research An Update on Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia is a genetic disorder with two forms, causing symptoms like early puberty and severe acne, but can be identified through screening and treated with glucocorticoids.
research Acne: Hormonal Concepts and Therapy
Hormones, especially androgens, play a big role in acne, but most acne sufferers don't have a hormone disorder. Hormonal treatments, including birth control pills, can be very effective for women whose acne doesn't improve with regular treatments.
research Intracrinology and the Skin
DHEA stimulates skin oil glands and could help postmenopausal women, with potential for acne and excessive hair growth treatments.
research Steroid 5α-Reductase as a Novel Therapeutic Target for Schizophrenia and Other Neuropsychiatric Disorders
S5αR inhibitors might help treat schizophrenia and other mental disorders but need more research.
research Human Hair Follicles Are an Extrarenal Source and a Nonhematopoietic Target of Erythropoietin
Human hair follicles produce and respond to erythropoietin, helping protect against stress.
research Regulatory Roles of Androgens in Cutaneous Wound Healing
Testosterone may slow down wound healing and increase inflammation.
research DKK1 Mediated Inhibition of Wnt Signaling in Postnatal Mice Leads to Loss of TEC Progenitors and Thymic Degeneration
Blocking Wnt signaling in young mice causes thymus shrinkage and cell loss, but recovery is possible when the block is removed.
research Dermal White Adipose Tissue: A Newly Recognized Layer of Skin Innate Defense
Skin fat plays a key role in immune defense and healing beyond just storing energy.
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 Skin Steroidogenesis in Health and Disease
The skin's ability to produce hormones is linked to various skin conditions, and better understanding this process could lead to new treatments.
research FOXN1 Deficient Nude Severe Combined Immunodeficiency
FOXN1 gene mutations cause a rare, severe immune disease treatable with cell or tissue transplants.
research HSD3B1 Genotypes Conferring Adrenal-Restrictive and Adrenal-Permissive Phenotypes in Prostate Cancer and Beyond
Certain HSD3B1 gene types are linked to worse prostate cancer outcomes and affect treatment response and other health conditions.
research The Role of Immature and Mature Adipocytes in Hair Cycling
Both immature and mature fat cells are important for hair growth cycles, with immature cells promoting growth and mature cells possibly inhibiting it.
research A Hypothetical Pathogenesis Model for Androgenic Alopecia: Clarifying the Dihydrotestosterone Paradox and Rate-Limiting Recovery Factors
The model suggests that scalp tension could lead to hair loss, with factors like blood vessel hardening, enlarged oil glands, and poor microcirculation also playing a role. It also hints at a possible link between skull shape and baldness pattern.
research The Rationale for Physiological Testosterone Replacement in Women
Testosterone replacement may help post-menopausal women with androgen insufficiency, but more research is needed on its benefits and risks.

Steroid Sulfatase inhibitors show promise in treating hormone-dependent disorders like cancers, hair loss, and acne, with 667COUMATE being a potential candidate for breast cancer treatment trials.
research Diet and Acne
Diet changes can help reduce acne by limiting certain hormones.
research Mutations in Sterol O-Acyltransferase 1 (SOAT1) Result in Hair Interior Defects in AKR/J Mice
A mutation in the Soat1 gene causes hair structure defects and other health issues in AKR/J mice.
research N-Acyl Arylsulfonamides as Novel, Reversible Inhibitors of Human Steroid Sulfatase
Scientists found new, better-working inhibitors for a hormone-related enzyme.
research Nutrition of Women with Hair Loss During Menopause
