120-150 / 1000+ resultsresearch The metabolically protective energy expenditure increase ofPik3r1-related insulin resistance is not explained by Ucp1-mediated thermogenesis
This study found that Pik3r1 Y657* mice, which model human SHORT syndrome, show increased energy expenditure despite insulin resistance, but this is not due to changes in locomotion, thermoregulation, or Ucp1-dependent thermogenesis, suggesting a different metabolic mechanism may protect against lipotoxicity.
research Simultaneous Target-Mediated Drug Disposition-Pharmacodynamic (TMDD-PD) Modeling of Finasteride and Dutasteride: Impact of Target Binding and Turnover on Non-linear Pharmacokinetics
Finasteride and dutasteride's effects are mainly due to target binding saturation and slow enzyme turnover.

This study found that TRPV4 activation induced massive exocytosis and cellular changes associated with ferroptosis in melanoma cells, highlighting a potential role for TRPV4 in mediating these processes.
research A Case of the Cons: How Contraception Confused Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia for Conn
In this case study, drospirenone use masked the diagnosis of a rare form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, suggesting a possible delay in detecting underlying endocrinopathies.
research Prevention of unfavourable effects of cigarette smoke on flap viability using botulinum toxin in random pattern flaps: An experimental study
This study found that botulinum toxin type A significantly reduced skin flap necrosis in rats exposed to cigarette smoke, suggesting it may help improve flap viability in smokers.
research The steroidogenic inhibitor finasteride reverses pramipexole-induced alterations in probability discounting
This study found that finasteride reduced impulsivity in a rat model of pramipexole-induced probability discounting, possibly by normalizing D3 receptor expression in the nucleus accumbens.
research Dormant tumor cells in ret transgenic mouse melanoma model and their interaction with memory T cells
In this study, researchers observed that dormant TRP-2+ melanoma cells in bone marrow can interact with CD8+ T cells in tumor-bearing ret transgenic mice, potentially influencing immune responses.
research The effects of finasteride (FIN) and thioacetamide (TAA) on acetylcholinesterase (AchE) activity in various brain regions.
This content contains no study findings or new results, instead referring only to statistical methods and figure captions.
research A Case of Tricho-rhino-phalangeal Syndrome Caused by a Novel Heterozygous Nonsense Mutation in the TRPS1 Gene
A new mutation in the TRPS1 gene caused Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome in a 17-year-old, highlighting the need for genetic testing.
research Volatile signalling by sesquiterpenes from ectomycorrhizal fungi reprogrammes root architecture
Fungi-produced compounds can change plant root growth.
research Effect of warning symbols in combination with education on the frequency of erroneously crushing medication in nursing homes: an uncontrolled before and after study
This study found that introducing warning symbols and educational programs significantly reduced the erroneous crushing of medications in nursing homes.
research Testosterone-stimulated weanlings as an alternative to castrated male rats in the Hershberger anti-androgen assay
Using testosterone-stimulated weanling rats can effectively replace castrated rats for anti-androgen testing, reducing animal stress.
research Hair Tourniquet Syndrome of the Toe: Report of 2 New Cases
This report describes two cases of toe tourniquet syndrome in infants, highlighting the importance for pediatric orthopedic practitioners to diagnose and manage it promptly, suggesting a specific incision method to release hair strangulation if removal is challenging.
research Situation-Specific Purposes and Epistemic Games: A Framework for Teaching the Evaluation of Causal Information
This study introduces a framework to help laypeople evaluate scientific information based on its relevance to specific needs by categorizing causal information into two epistemic games, enhancing their ability to make informed decisions, with a focus on genetics education for practical application.
research Factors predisposing to intraoperative floppy-iris syndrome: An up-to-date meta-analysis
This meta-analysis reports that male sex, hypertension, tamsulosin, finasteride, benzodiazepines, and antipsychotics are significantly associated with increased risk of developing intraoperative floppy-iris syndrome during cataract surgery.
research Discrepancies in safety reporting for chronic back pain clinical trials: an observational study from ClinicalTrials.gov and publications
This study reports that discrepancies in adverse event reporting for clinical blood pressure trials undermine the reliability of safety data, suggesting a need for standardized reporting guidelines to improve trustworthiness.
research Fatal Rapunzel Syndrome
This case report documents a rare fatal instance of Rapunzel syndrome in a child, highlighting the use of postmortem CT and MRI to reveal trichobezoar-related bowel obstructions and perforations as the cause of death.
research Effect of Minoxidil on Trabecular Outflow via the Paracellular Pathway
This study found that minoxidil increases trabecular meshwork cell permeability, possibly via the downregulation of tight junction proteins and the generation of reactive oxygen species.

This study suggests that coexisting LSS and TSPEAR variants might contribute to a complex phenotype of congenital hypotrichosis and ectodermal abnormalities in a child, and highlights the need for cautious interpretation of genotype-phenotype links and the potential value of broader genetic testing.
research Regulatory mutations in TBX3 disrupt asymmetric hair pigmentation that underlies Dun camouflage color in horses
This study found that the Dun camouflage color in horses is due to TBX3 expression, which causes uneven pigment deposition, whereas non-dun coat colors result from regulatory mutations affecting TBX3 expression.
research Enhanced Sensitivity to Ethanol-Induced Inhibition of LTP in CA1 Pyramidal Neurons of Socially Isolated C57BL/6J Mice: Role of Neurosteroids
