5 / 1000+ results research Molecular mechanisms of androgen receptor functions
Androgen receptors play a key role in male development and prostate cancer, with treatments targeting androgen action.
research Androgen receptor-mediated gene activation in prostate cancer cells
Androgen receptors help prostate cancer cells grow and resist drugs.
research Probing androgen receptor co-factor selectivity profiles: a chemical tool to determine cross-talk between androgen receptor and β-catenin in vivo
PF-05314882 selectively activates androgen receptors without much effect on prostate and may help in prostate cancer treatment and hair loss prevention.
research Genetic and molecular aspects of androgenetic alopecia
Androgenetic alopecia is mainly caused by genetic factors and increased androgen activity, leading to hair follicle miniaturization.

5 / 679 resultscommunity TWIST-1 and the cure: Is it really that easy?
TWIST-1 gene's role in hair loss and potential as a treatment target. Inhibiting TWIST-1 may prolong hair growth and reduce hair follicle sensitivity to DHT.
community Minoxidil is a 5ar inhibitor according to research
Minoxidil may inhibit androgen receptors and affect hormonal pathways, potentially explaining its effectiveness in treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Users discuss its varying effectiveness on scalp versus facial hair and note fewer side effects with topical use compared to oral.
community Can ashwagandha cause hair loss?
Ashwagandha is generally considered safe for hair while on Dutasteride, as its effects on testosterone are minimal and it may reduce anxiety. Some users report positive effects on hair thickness and anxiety reduction when using ashwagandha alongside finasteride.
community Sugar and Hair loss connections
High sugar diets may worsen hair loss by increasing 5α-reductase activity and androgen levels, especially in women with PCOS. A low sugar diet might reduce scalp DHT levels, similar to finasteride, but genetics also significantly influence hair loss.
community The ending of alopecia? Corticosterone inhibits GAS6 to govern hair follicle stem-cell quiescence
Corticosterone inhibits GAS6, affecting hair follicle stem-cell activity, with potential implications for stress-related hair loss. Ashwagandha and Vitamin K are suggested for reducing cortisol, but their effectiveness is debated.
