research Is Dehydroepiandrosterone a Hormone?
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a prohormone important for producing sex steroids and has potential health benefits.
research Intratumoral De Novo Steroid Synthesis Activates Androgen Receptor in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer and Is Upregulated by Treatment with CYP17A1 Inhibitors
Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.
research The Neurobiology of Sexual Function
Testosterone is important for men's sexual function, may help some women's sexual desire, while other hormones and neurotransmitters also play complex roles in sexual behavior.
research Alopecia Areata Update
Half of people with Alopecia Areata may see hair regrowth within a year without treatment, but recovery is unpredictable.
research The Rotterdam Study: 2018 Update on Objectives, Design, and Main Results
The Rotterdam Study updated findings on elderly health, focusing on heart disease, genetics, lifestyle effects, and disease understanding.
research Wound Healing and Skin Regeneration
Hair growth phase and certain genes can speed up wound healing, while an inflammatory mediator can slow down new hair growth after a wound. Understanding these factors can improve tissue regeneration during wound healing.
research Dual Growth Factor Releasing Multi-Functional Nanofibers for Wound Healing
The nanofibers with two growth factors improved wound healing by supporting structure, preventing infection, and aiding tissue growth.

research Androgen Therapy in Women: An Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline
The Endocrine Society advised against routine testosterone therapy for women, citing a need for more research on long-term safety and a clear definition of androgen deficiency.
research Molecular Control of Epithelial-Mesenchymal Interactions During Hair Follicle Cycling
Epithelial-mesenchymal interactions control hair growth cycles through specific molecular signals.
research The Rotterdam Study: 2014 Objectives and Design Update
The Rotterdam Study aims to understand disease causes in the elderly and has found new risk factors and genetic influences on various conditions.
research Interrelation of Immunity and Tissue Repair or Regeneration
The immune system plays a key role in tissue repair, affecting both healing quality and regenerative ability.
research Wnt1/β-Catenin Injury Response Activates the Epicardium and Cardiac Fibroblasts to Promote Cardiac Repair
Wnt1/βcatenin signaling is crucial for heart repair after injury.
research Nutritional Factors and Hair Loss
Low iron and L-lysine levels can cause hair loss in women, and increasing these nutrients can reduce hair shedding.
research Cutaneous Androgen Metabolism: Basic Research And Clinical Perspectives
Creating stronger blockers for skin enzymes might lead to better treatment for conditions like acne and excessive hair growth.
