This study concludes that dietary L-serine supplementation shows promise as a long-term therapy for hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type 1, reducing neurotoxic 1-deoxysphingolipid levels and improving symptoms in severe cases.

This study found a specific T cell receptor that may be key in carbamazepine-induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis, suggesting potential therapeutic targets.

A bull with a gene mutation was asymptomatic, synthetic retinoids cause hair loss, and new therapeutic targets were identified for skin diseases.

This study found that GFRα2 influences cell size but not survival or target innervation of Ret-positive low-threshold mechanoreceptors in mouse dorsal root ganglia, differing from its role in nonpeptidergic nociceptors.

This study reports on an ongoing Phase I/IIa clinical trial of ex vivo gene therapy for treating severe Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa, involving six adult participants with COL7A1 mutations resulting in deficient type VII collagen production.

This article discusses the potential mechanism by which 5α-reductase inhibitors might offer protection against SARS-CoV-2, emphasizing possible roles of dehydroepiandrosterone and its impact on nitric oxide bioavailability, but reports no new experimental results.

This study identified a novel mechanism by which dsRNA-induced TLR3 activation and retinoic acid pathways contribute to new hair follicle formation after deep wounds in mice and suggested a similar potential in humans.

RY-023, a specific drug, can improve early stage memory learning without affecting general activity in rats, but it's less effective for later learning stages and doesn't impact memory recall.

This report describes two cases of glucocorticoid resistance syndrome highlighting genetic diversity; one patient improved with low-dose dexamethasone despite negative genetic testing, while the other is monitored with a novel NR3C1 variant.

A feedback loop between LRH and RSL4 controls root hair growth in Arabidopsis.

This study developed and validated a label-free assay using LC-MS to screen for S5αR inhibitors, identifying Thai herbal extracts, Impatiens balsamina L. and Curcuma longa L., as promising sources.

This narrative review discusses adverse effects associated with 5-ARI treatments for male-pattern baldness and benign prostate hyperplasia, including sexual health, neurological, endocrine, metabolic, and cardiovascular impacts, and emphasizes careful prescription assessment.

This study concludes that rhesus macaques are a suitable model for testing the pharmacological properties of finasteride and other 5aR inhibitors, due to their biochemical similarity to humans.

This abstract reviews hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets, a rare genetic condition causing severe early childhood rickets, and reports no new results; effective treatment typically requires high doses of calcium to address hypocalcemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism.

This study reported that a modified version of Thymosin beta 4, called PEG-rTβ4, demonstrated potential as a treatment for acute myocardial infarction by improving cardiac function and reducing cell death via specific biochemical pathways, suggesting its promise in drug development efforts.

This study found that RAR-gamma 1 mRNA is present in multiple skin layers and structures, suggesting a role in maintaining and differentiating normal epidermis and skin appendages.

This study found that rice bran supercritical CO₂ extract was classified as a non-irritant for ocular use but a moderate irritant for dermal use in rabbits and guinea pigs.

This study observed that the binding of certain hormones in rat skin varies cyclically with the hair cycle phases, with testosterone showing maximum binding in the catagen phase.

This article reviews the effects of 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors for treating conditions like male pattern baldness and benign prostatic hyperplasia, noting significant DHT reduction but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers identified a specific T cell receptor associated with carbamazepine-induced severe cutaneous adverse reactions, demonstrating its potential for therapeutic development in patients with the HLA-B*15:02 genotype.

This study found that in rheumatoid arthritis patients, inflammatory macrophages activate steroid metabolism to increase glucocorticoid and androgen production, which helps suppress inflammation and attenuate hyperproliferation in synovial fibroblasts, with notable disturbances seen in postmenopausal women due to diminished inactive steroid precursors.

This study found that dihydrotestosterone treatment in female rats altered anterior pituitary gland gene expression, with significant repression of prolactin and inhibition of GnRH receptor gene expression, suggesting specific hormone production changes.

This report advances the hypothesis that finasteride and dutasteride inhibit 5α-reductase activities, potentially altering steroid metabolism and increasing the risk of insulin resistance, diabetes, and vascular disease.

This study found that dual 5α-reductase inhibitors in rats decreased sperm quality and led to reduced pregnancy success, suggesting potential for use in male contraception.

This study suggests that CTHRC1, a protein expressed in cardiac fibroblasts, may improve wound repair and prevent cardiac rupture after myocardial infarction by activating a specific signaling pathway.

This study found that dual 5α-reductase inhibition in rats led to decreased sperm motility and altered morphology, resulting in subfertility.

Repetin is a protein involved in skin and hair development, binding calcium and compensating for other proteins when needed.
