research Antioxidant and Antiproliferative Activity of Finasteride Against Glioblastoma Cells
High-dose finasteride may help treat glioblastoma but needs localized delivery for effectiveness.
research Vitamin D Metabolism and Function in the Skin
Skin cells produce and activate vitamin D, which regulates skin functions and supports hair growth.
research Ephrins Negatively Regulate Cell Proliferation in the Epidermis and Hair Follicle
Ephrins slow down skin and hair follicle cell growth.
research The Role of Adipocytes in Tissue Regeneration and Stem Cell Niches
Fat cells are important for tissue repair and stem cell support in various body parts.
research Bladder Cancer: The Hormonal Dependence Enigma And A New Hormonal Player
