This study found that the truncated hHb1-DeltaN transcript in breast cancer cells is produced by a cryptic intron promoter and responds to DNA demethylation, potentially altering cancer cell adhesion.

In this study, a specific retinoic acid receptor antagonist caused severe craniofacial anomalies in mouse fetuses when administered early in pregnancy, but not limb anomalies, highlighting developmental stage-specific roles of retinoic acid.

This review discusses the mechanisms of hair repigmentation and reports no clinical results; the authors suggest further research into topical treatments for reversing gray hair.

This review explores recent findings on regulatory T cells, focusing on their unique functions in non-lymphoid tissues and new mechanisms of action, but presents no original clinical results.

This study provided the crystal structure of the human steroid 5α-reductase 2 enzyme and identified key molecular mechanisms for testosterone reduction and finasteride inhibition, aiding in understanding disease-causing mutations and potentially facilitating new drug development.

This study found that vitamin D receptor activation in primary keratinocytes can occur independently of the 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D₃ ligand, likely through interaction with retinoid X receptors.

In a study of 435 undergraduate medical students, researchers found that rejection sensitivity was linked to increased loneliness and problematic internet use, with loneliness mediating this relationship and self-control moderating its impact, highlighting pathways and conditions that could inform interventions.

This study suggests that the expression of the DP2 receptor is higher in balding scalp cells and that its knockdown could inhibit the transition to the catagen phase in cultured human hair follicles, potentially counteracting hair growth inhibition associated with male pattern baldness.

This study suggests that both the central biosynthesis and metabolism of progesterone to 3α,5α‐THP in the ventral tegmental area are crucial for facilitating lordosis in female rats.

This study suggests that synthetic steroid analogues or 5α-reductase modulation could be potential therapeutic strategies for nervous system disorders, but further research on their effects is necessary.

This study found that in transgenic mice overexpressing a mutant hairless gene, changes in its expression affected hair loss and regrowth, implicating the gene's role in hair follicle biology.

This review highlights the potential of in vivo reprogramming using OSKM transcription factors for developing rejuvenating and regenerative strategies, while noting the associated risk of tumorigenicity and discussing how improved understanding could lead to safer applications.

In this study, Trf1 genetic deletion in mice, including those with cancer-prone mutations, was shown to not affect overall viability and cause only mild effects, while being necessary for tumor formation, suggesting a potential therapeutic window for Trf1 as an anti-cancer target.

This study found that castration-resistant prostate cancers resistant to CYP17A1 inhibitors may still depend on steroids and could respond to therapies targeting de novo intratumoral steroid synthesis.

This study found that testosterone is converted to estrogenic steroids in vitro without aromatase involvement, suggesting that combining 5α-reductase and aromatase inhibitors might reduce estrogenic steroids more completely in vivo.

This study found that the microRNA miR-22 is a key regulator of the hair cycle, influencing hair loss by promoting the transition from growth to rest phases and repressing keratinocyte differentiation.

This study demonstrated that stress-derived neurosteroid THDOC shifts from inhibiting to activating the HPA axis under stress, presenting potential therapeutic targets for stress-related disorders.

In this study, a synthetic antagonist of the p75 neurotrophin receptor was found to significantly inhibit hair follicle regression in murine skin cultures, suggesting a potential role in treating hair disorders characterized by premature catagen entry.

This study found that Hairless (HR) and putrescine form a negative regulatory network that impacts epidermal homeostasis and hair follicle cycling, linked to the MYC superfamily's regulation of ODC expression.

Finasteride may help improve certain brain function issues linked to dopamine.

This study suggests that the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride modulates sensorimotor gating in rats by affecting D1 and D3 receptors, but not D2 receptors, with varying effects based on genetic strain.

This study developed a technique to limit genetic recombination to regulatory T cells to investigate whether self-tolerance is maintained in non-lymphoid tissues, an area previously not well understood.

In this study, researchers found that the loss of SETDB1 in epidermal keratinocytes led to altered chromatin states, increased ERV expression, and activation of immune responses, while inhibiting these effects with certain antiviral drugs reduced skin inflammation and hair loss in a mouse model.

This review examines the potential of regulatory T cell-based therapies to transform treatment across various medical specialties by promoting immune tolerance and tissue repair, but it reports no new clinical results.

The researchers reported that silencing the NtNCED3-2 gene in tobacco reduced ABA content and drought tolerance, inhibited root and leaf development, and decreased photosynthetic ability due to altered isoprenoid metabolism.

This study found that torilin from Torilis japonica fruit extract inhibited 5 alpha-reductase in vitro more effectively than alpha-linolenic acid but less effectively than finasteride.

This review discusses finasteride's use in manipulating neuroactive steroid levels and its potential effects on behavior, reporting preclinical evidence and clinical observations but providing no new experimental results.

This study found that a shampoo with a selective TAAR agonist reduced hair shedding during brushing by 31% in women and contracted the arrector pili muscle.
