This study found that about 80% of known fullerene-binding proteins rank in the top 10% of scorers for C60 docking sites, confirming the accuracy of the predictive model used.
research A position effect on TRPS1 is associated with Ambras syndrome in humans and the Koala phenotype in mice
This study suggests that a position effect disrupting TRPS1 expression may be linked to hypertrichosis in both Ambras syndrome in humans and a similar phenotype in Koa mice.
research The Molecular Basis of Androgen Insensitivity
This article reviews androgen insensitivity syndrome and highlights the factors contributing to phenotypic diversity in 46,XY patients with AR gene mutations, reporting no new clinical results.
research Localisation and regulation of cholesterol transporters in the human hair follicle: mapping changes across the hair cycle
In this study, human hair follicles showed varying expression of cholesterol transport proteins during the hair cycle, suggesting a potential role of cholesterol in hair growth and cycling.
research Obesity and female androgenic alopecia: A cause and an effect?
This report describes a possible case of burn-induced bullous pemphigoid, as the disease was transient and did not recur, suggesting a potential link between burns and the condition.
research Tissue Retinol‐Binding Protein 4 Expression and Its Genetic Variants (rs3758539) in Patients With Severe and Treatment‐Refractory Alopecia Areata: Association With Response to Baricitinib
This study found that elevated tissue RBP4 levels correlate with disease severity in alopecia areata and decrease after effective baricitinib treatment, while the rs3758539 polymorphism is linked to disease susceptibility but not to treatment response.
research Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and androgen levels in women with androgenetic alopecia
This study found no correlation between plasma androgen levels and androgenetic alopecia in women, suggesting that increased androgen action may not be reflected in these parameters.
research Genetic Ablation of the CDP/Cux Protein C Terminus Results in Hair Cycle Defects and Reduced Male Fertility
This study found that mice with a mutant CDP/Cux protein lacking the homeodomain showed severely impaired growth, high postnatal mortality, and reduced fertility, highlighting CDP/Cux's role in developmental regulation.
research Vitamin D-dependent rickets type II: extreme end organ resistance to 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3 in a patient without alopecia
This case study reported that absence of alopecia does not reliably predict responsiveness to vitamin D treatment in Vitamin D-dependent rickets type II, as demonstrated by a patient with normal hair growth who showed extreme resistance.
research Androgen antagonists in androgen target tissues
This review discusses androgen manipulation strategies for conditions like benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostatic carcinoma but reports no new clinical results.
research In Vitroandin VivoStructure-Activity Relationships of Novel Androgen Receptor Ligands with Multiple Substituents in the B-Ring
This study identified novel selective androgen receptor modulators with enhanced in vivo pharmacological activity through structure-activity relationship analysis in castrated rats.
research XEDAR activates the non-canonical NF-κB pathway
This study found that the XEDAR receptor can activate the non-canonical NF-kB pathway involving p100 processing, which is regulated by interactions with TRAF proteins and specific kinases.
research Structures of three polycystic kidney disease-like domains fromClostridium histolyticumcollagenases ColG and ColH
This study reports that Ca 2+ binding alters the dynamics and surface properties of PKD-like domains in Clostridium histolyticum collagenases, enhancing their stability and potentially aiding in collagen-targeting vehicle development.
research Thymosin β4 and Actin: Binding Modes, Biological Functions and Clinical Applications
This review discusses the molecular mechanisms and clinical applications of thymosin β4, highlighting its potential benefits for inflammation, wound healing, tumor metastasis, and other medical conditions but reports no new experimental results.
research Synthesis, biological evaluation and molecular docking of 4-Amino-2H-benzo[h]chromen-2-one (ABO) analogs containing the piperazine moiety
This study identified novel 4-Amino-2H-benzo[h]chromen-2-one analogs as potent androgen receptor antagonists that show strong antiproliferative activity against prostate cancer cells, suggesting them as potential lead compounds for therapy development.
research Functional Analysis of VDR Gene Mutation R343H in A Child with Vitamin D-Resistant Rickets with Alopecia
This study found that a novel R343H mutation in the vitamin D receptor gene impairs its transcription activity, contributing to hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets and alopecia in the affected family.
research The biology and clinical application of systemic glucocorticoids
This review discusses the role of glucocorticoids in treating severe inflammatory disorders and highlights their potential adverse effects, recommending dosage management to minimize these risks; no new clinical results are reported.
research Hormonal and clinic evaluation of patients with moderate body hair growth
In this study, elevated prolactin and DHEA-S levels along with reduced SBP were observed in fertile non-obese women with moderate body hair compared to controls, and ethynylestradiol plus desogestrel or cyproterone acetate treatment improved clinical outcomes by increasing SBP.
research ER-located Ca2+ ATPase ACA2 regulates Ca2+ cytoplasmic pool linked to root hair growth in Arabidopsis thaliana
In this study, researchers found that the efflux of calcium in root hairs of Arabidopsis thaliana, particularly through the ER-localized ACA2 and ACA7, is crucial for modulating cytoplasmic calcium signals and enabling proper root hair growth, with disruptions leading to impaired elongation.
