research Testosterone: The Male Sex Hormone
More research is needed to understand how testosterone is maintained in adult males.
research A Review of the Most Common Dermatologic Conditions and their Debilitating Psychosocial Impacts
Common skin conditions can greatly affect a person's mental health and social life.
research Dihydrotestosterone inhibits hair growth in mice by inhibiting insulin-like growth factor-I production in dermal papillae
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) stops hair growth in mice by lowering a growth factor important for hair.
research Consequences of steroid-5α-reductase deficiency and inhibition in vertebrates
Lack or blocking of SRD5a, a key component in hormone creation, can lead to conditions like pseudohermaphrodism and affect hair growth, bone mass, muscle strength, and reproductive health. More research is needed on its regulation from fertilization to adulthood.
research Inhibition of mitochondrial respiration prevents BRAF-mutant melanoma brain metastasis
Stopping mitochondrial respiration can prevent brain cancer spread in skin cancer patients, and plant compound β-sitosterol could help achieve this.
research Androgen receptor modulators: a review of recent patents and reports (2012-2018)
New androgen receptor modulators show promise for treating diseases like prostate cancer and muscle wasting.
research 11α-Hydroxyprogesterone, a potent 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase inhibitor, is metabolised by steroid-5α-reductase and cytochrome P450 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase to produce C11α-derivatives of 21-deoxycortisol and 11-hydroxyandrostenedione in vitro
11α-Hydroxyprogesterone is changed into different substances by certain enzymes and may play a role in prostate cancer.
research The Modulatable Stem Cell Niche: Tissue Interactions during Hair and Feather Follicle Regeneration
The document concludes that for hair and feather growth, it's better to target the environment around stem cells than the cells themselves.
research Increased lactate dehydrogenase activity is dispensable in squamous carcinoma cells of origin
High lactate dehydrogenase activity is not necessary for the growth of squamous cell carcinoma.
research Ultrasound-activated particles as CRISPR/Cas9 delivery system for androgenic alopecia therapy
Scientists have created a new hair loss treatment using ultrasound to deliver gene-editing particles, which resulted in up to 90% hair regrowth in mice.
research Targeting of CXXC5 by a Competing Peptide Stimulates Hair Regrowth and Wound-Induced Hair Neogenesis
Blocking a protein called CXXC5 with a specific peptide can stimulate hair regrowth and new hair growth in wounds.
research Long-term dutasteride therapy in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia alters glucose and lipid profiles and increases severity of erectile dysfunction
Long-term use of dutasteride for enlarged prostate may worsen blood sugar, cholesterol, and erectile dysfunction.
research Safety of Alopecia Treatments in Patients with Breast Cancer and High-Risk Women: A Review
Alopecia treatments like 5α-reductase inhibitors and spironolactone are safe for breast cancer patients and high-risk women.
research Hirsutism: diagnosis and treatment
The document concludes that proper diagnosis and combined treatments are key for hirsutism management, and weight loss may help overweight patients.
research The importance of dual 5α-reductase inhibition in the treatment of male pattern hair loss: Results of a randomized placebo-controlled study of dutasteride versus finasteride
Dutasteride more effective for hair growth, but has more side effects than finasteride.
research Beyond testosterone cypionate: evidence behind the use of nandrolone in male health and wellness
Nandrolone might increase muscle mass with fewer side effects than testosterone but could cause erectile dysfunction and needs more research.
research Acne Protection: Measures & Miseries
Acne can be managed with various treatments and requires psychological support due to its emotional impact.
research Finasteride
Finasteride effectively treats baldness but may cause sexual side effects.
research Finasteride is the main inhibitor of 5α-reductase activity in microdissected dermal papillae of human hair follicles
Finasteride potentially treats hair loss by reducing DHT production.
research Alopecia and the Microbiome: A Future Therapeutic Target?
The microbiome may be linked to hair loss and could be a target for new treatments.
research Distinctive Acne Entities
Acne can appear or persist in adulthood due to hormonal changes, external factors, or substance use, and requires appropriate treatment.
research An appraisal of laboratory models of androgenetic alopecia: A systematic review
Better hair loss models needed for research.
research Androgens and ovarian function: translation from basic discovery research to clinical impact
Androgens are important for female fertility and could help in IVF treatment, but also play a role in causing PCOS.
research SnapshotDx Quiz: August 2019
The research found that male pattern hair loss is mostly genetic and involves hair thinning due to hormonal effects and changes in gene expression.
research Neurosteroidogenesis Today: Novel Targets for Neuroactive Steroid Synthesis and Action and Their Relevance for Translational Research
New targets for making and using brain-synthesized steroids could lead to better treatments for brain disorders and alcoholism.
research Interpretation of Laboratory Data and General Physical Examination by Pharmacists
