research Slow progress in prostate cancer
Finasteride reduces prostate cancer risk but may increase high-grade tumors; new drugs and better diagnosis are in development, but funding and industry commitment are challenges.
research Up-regulation of androgen receptor by heat shock protein 27 and miR-1 induces pathogenesis of androgenic alopecia.
Higher levels of heat shock protein 27 and lower levels of miR-1 can increase AR levels, leading to hair loss in men.
research Recent European legal developments on second medical uses and dosage regimes
European patent law now allows patents for new uses and dosages of known drugs, but protection scope is unclear.
research Sebocytes are the Key Regulators of Androgen Homeostasis in Human Skin
Sebocytes play a key role in controlling androgen levels in human skin.

research Referee report. For: Exploring the use of phytotherapy in benign prostatic hyperplasia [BPH]: a systematic review [version 1; peer review: 2 approved with reservations]
Plant-based treatments may help reduce BPH symptoms, but more research is needed.
research Induction of transforming growth factor-beta 1 by androgen is mediated by reactive oxygen species in hair follicle dermal papilla cells
Androgens increase a growth factor in hair cells by creating reactive oxygen species, and antioxidants might help treat hair loss.
research The Chronic Thermal Stress Model of Androgenetic Alopecia: A Unified Environmental–Vascular–Molecular Hypothesis
DHT increases scalp heat, causing hair loss.
research The Chronic Thermal Stress Model of Androgenetic Alopecia: A Unified Environmental–Vascular–Molecular Hypothesis

Natural adsorbents in cosmetics can significantly reduce skin and hair pollution.
research Early androgen activity after birth determines the hypothalamic expression of androgen and estrogen receptors in adulthood in female but not in male rats
Early androgen exposure affects hormone receptor expression in adult female rats' brains, but not in males.
research Hair growth effects of oral administration of finasteride, a steroid 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor, alone and in combination with topical minoxidil in the balding stumptail macaque.
Finasteride and minoxidil together promote hair growth better than either alone.
research 5alpha-reductase: history and clinical importance.
5alpha-reductase inhibitors like finasteride and dutasteride effectively treat BPH by reducing DHT, offering symptom relief and potential future uses.
research Assessment of hair and cashmere properties and their genetic background of several goat breeds in Southwest China
