research A Review on Steroidal 5α-Reductase Inhibitors for Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
New treatments for enlarged prostate are being developed, some of which may be more effective than current medications.
research Sebaceous gland abnormalities in fatty acyl CoA reductase 2 (Far2) null mice result in primary cicatricial alopecia
Deleting the Far2 gene in mice causes sebaceous gland issues and patchy hair loss.
research Immunocytochemical Localization of Androgen Receptors in the Scalp of the Stumptail Macaque Monkey, a Model of Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgen receptors found in monkey scalps, similar to humans, affect hair growth.

Mf-rich hair degrades more than Ma-rich hair, especially with Proteinase K.
research Hair and cancer chemotherapy: consequences and nursing care - a literature study
Chemotherapy-induced hair loss significantly affects patients' well-being, and nurses are key in helping them cope, but more research is needed to find effective treatments.
research Epithelial Integrity Is Maintained by a Matriptase-Dependent Proteolytic Pathway
Matriptase is crucial for keeping epithelial tissues healthy and functioning properly.
research The control of hair growth: An overview
Hair growth is influenced by interactions between skin layers, growth factors, and hormones, but the exact mechanisms are not fully understood.
research The slick hair coat locus maps to chromosome 20 in Senepol-derived cattle
The gene for slick hair in Senepol cattle is located on chromosome 20 and may involve the SRD5A2 gene.
research Cloning, expression and characterization of rhesus macaque types 1 and 2 5alpha-Reductase: evidence for mechanism-Based inhibition by finasteride
Finasteride inhibits enzyme activity in rhesus macaques, suggesting they're useful for evaluating similar drugs.
research Efficient Intradermal Delivery of Superoxide Dismutase Using a Combination of Liposomes and Iontophoresis for Protection against UV-Induced Skin Damage
Liposomes and iontophoresis effectively deliver protective enzymes into the skin against UV damage.
