Exploring the Gut‐Prostate Axis: Microbial Signatures Linked to Prostate Volume and Bladder Function

The Prostate, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common urologic condition in aging men, often linked to systemic inflammation and metabolic dysfunction. Emerging evidence suggests that the gut microbiome may contribute to prostate health and disease.

Hair Growth-Promoting Effects of Astragalus sinicus Extracts in Human Follicle Dermal Papilla Cells

Cosmetics
Hair loss is influenced by various stresses and disruptions in the hair growth cycle within hair follicles. The activation of these follicles is primarily driven by dermal papilla cells, which play a central role in the progression of the hair growth ...

Evaluation of Potential Hormonal Activities of Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ashwagandha is a widely used herb in traditional medicine systems, particularly Ayurveda. Despite its extensive tradition, growing concerns regarding its potential endocrinological effects have prompted scientific scrutiny. This review systematically evaluates the current preclinical, clinical, and case study evidence concerning AS's effects ...

Tributyltin Protumorigenic Effects Targeting Prostate Cancer Cell Metabolism, Proliferation, Migration, and Invasion

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Prostate cancer (PCa) is an endocrine‐related cancer highly dependent on androgenic signaling. Beyond hormone dependence, extrinsic factors play a significant role in the risk of developing PCa, which raises concern about the influence of environmental compounds such as endocrine‐disrupting chemicals (EDCs). Tributyltin (TBT) is an EDC used in

An engineered epididymal cell line provides a sustainable source of functional extracellular vesicles for in vitro sperm preservation: A multi‐omics and functional study

VIEW, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigated the function of epididymal extracellular vesicles (EVs) in overcoming sperm post‐testicular modification deficiencies. Although EVs derived from the epididymis play a crucial role in intercellular communication and molecular exchange, there is limited research addressing how EVs released by in vitro cultured epididymal ...

Sex Hormones and the Risk of Nasal Polyps: A Two‐Sample Mendelian Randomization Study

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The pathophysiological roles of sex hormones in airway inflammation have drawn much attention recently. We aimed to explore the causal effect of sex hormones on chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and nasal polyps (NP) via a Mendelian randomization (MR) study.

Krill oil ameliorates benign prostatic hyperplasia by regulating G1-phase cell cycle arrest and altering signaling pathways and benign prostatic hyperplasia-associated markers

Food Science and Human Wellness
Krill oil (KO) exhibits various biological activities, such as anti-inflammatory and antitumor effects. However, the inhibitory effects of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in vitro and in vivo have not yet been studied. This study investigated the anti-

Quantification of steroid hormones in free‐ranging Apennine wolf Canis lupus italicus hair samples collected post‐mortem

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
After decades of dramatic reductions in their populations, Italian wolves have begun recolonizing parts of their historic range. This growth in populations can lead to potential conflicts with human activities, which remain the main cause of wolf mortality.

Exploring the Inhibitory Potential of Phytosterols β-Sitosterol, Stigmasterol, and Campesterol on 5-Alpha Reductase Activity in the Human Prostate: An In Vitro and In Silico Approach

Plants
Steroidal 5α-reductase type 2 (S5αR2) is a key enzyme involved in the conversion of testosterone (TST) to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a crucial process in the development of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
