research Hair analysis: Assessment of homemade hair treatment effects on drug concentrations in the keratin matrix
Homemade hair treatments can significantly lower drug levels in hair, possibly causing false-negative drug tests.
research Differential expression of steroid 5α-reductase isozymes and association with disease severity and angiogenic genes predict their biological role in prostate cancer
SRD5A1 is crucial in advanced prostate cancer, and blocking both SRD5A1 and SRD5A2 is more effective than targeting SRD5A2 alone.
