Creating stronger blockers for skin enzymes might lead to better treatment for conditions like acne and excessive hair growth.
research The 5 Alpha-Reductase Isozyme Family: A Review of Basic Biology and Their Role in Human Diseases
The document concludes that the 5 alpha-reductase enzymes are important in steroid metabolism and related to various human diseases, with inhibitors used to treat conditions like male pattern baldness and prostate issues.
research The Importance of Dual 5α-Reductase Inhibition in the Treatment of Male Pattern Hair Loss: Results of a Randomized Placebo-Controlled Study of Dutasteride Versus Finasteride
Dutasteride more effective for hair growth, but has more side effects than finasteride.
research A Guide to Studying Human Hair Follicle Cycling In Vivo
The document provides a method to classify human hair growth stages using a model with human scalp on mice, aiming to standardize hair research.
research The Diagnosis and Treatment of Iron Deficiency and Its Potential Relationship to Hair Loss
Iron deficiency may be related to hair loss, but there's not enough evidence to recommend iron screening or supplements for all hair loss patients.
research Sebocytes Are the Key Regulators of Androgen Homeostasis in Human Skin
Sebocytes play a key role in controlling androgen levels in human skin.
research Cutaneous Adverse Effects of Targeted Therapies
Targeted cancer therapies often cause serious skin problems that need careful management.
research Androgen-Inducible TGF-β1 from Balding Dermal Papilla Cells Inhibits Epithelial Cell Growth: A Clue to Understanding Paradoxical Effects of Androgen on Human Hair Growth
Androgens may cause hair loss by increasing TGF-beta1 from scalp cells, which inhibits hair cell growth.
research Effects of Sex Steroid Deprivation and Administration on Hair Growth and Skin Sebum Production in Transsexual Males and Females
Hormone treatments in transsexual individuals reduce hair growth and oil production in male-to-females and increase them in female-to-males.
research Zinc Therapy in Dermatology: A Review
Zinc is effective for treating various skin conditions, including warts and acne.
research Low-Level Laser Therapy for Treatment of Hair Loss
Low-Level Laser Therapy is effective and safe for hair growth with minimal side effects.
research The Human Tri-Peptide GHK and Tissue Remodeling
The peptide GHK-Cu helps heal and remodel tissue, improves skin and hair health, and has potential for treating age-related inflammatory diseases.
research Probing the Effects of Stress Mediators on the Human Hair Follicle
Stress-related substance P may lead to hair loss and negatively affect hair growth.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: A Review
Male pattern baldness involves genetics, hormones, and needs better treatments.
research Gender Differences in Skin: A Review of the Literature
Male and female skin differ due to hormones, affecting conditions like hair loss, acne, and skin cancer, and suggesting a need for gender-specific treatments.
research A Matter of Life and Death: Self-Renewal in Stem Cells
Stem cell self-renewal is complex and needs more research for full understanding.
research The Pathogenesis of Primary Cicatricial Alopecias
The document concludes that more research is needed to better understand and treat primary cicatricial alopecias, and suggests a possible reclassification based on molecular pathways.
research Design, Synthesis, and Preclinical Evaluation of Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen Targeted 99mTc-Radioimaging Agents
Researchers developed promising agents for prostate cancer imaging, with the best one showing high potential for clinical use.
research Transfollicular Drug Delivery: Is It a Reality?
Hair follicles may soon be used more for targeted and systemic drug delivery.
research Hormone Replacement Therapy and the Skin
Estrogen replacement can improve skin health in menopausal women but doesn't reverse sun damage or prevent hair loss.
research Linking Diet to Acne Metabolomics, Inflammation, and Comedogenesis: An Update
Eating less sugar, milk, and saturated fats and more vegetables and fish may help treat and prevent acne.
research Estrogens and the Skin
Estrogen loss during menopause worsens skin health, but hormone replacement therapy may improve it, though more research is needed.
research Identifying the Target Cells and Mechanisms of Merkel Cell Polyomavirus Infection
Human dermal fibroblasts are the main cells targeted by a virus that can cause a deadly skin cancer, and a certain inhibitor can effectively block this infection.
research Potential of Nanoparticles as Permeation Enhancers and Targeted Delivery Options for Skin: Advantages and Disadvantages
Nanoparticles can improve skin drug delivery but have challenges like toxicity and stability that need more research.
research The Distribution of Estrogen Receptor Beta Is Distinct to That of Estrogen Receptor Alpha and the Androgen Receptor in Human Skin and the Pilosebaceous Unit
Estrogen Receptor ß (ERß) is the main hormone controller in human skin and hair follicles, not Estrogen Receptor α (ERα) or the Androgen Receptor (AR).
research Stem Cell Heterogeneity and Plasticity in Epithelia
Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.
