DHT affects bone growth by altering gene activity in osteoblasts, potentially complicating steroid use.

Androgen receptors in the mouse brain may explain cognitive and mood changes in prostate cancer treatment.

Many potential alopecia treatments need more testing to confirm they promote acceptable hair growth with minimal side effects.

Sebocytes play a key role in controlling androgen levels in human skin.

Male hormones indirectly affect skin cell development by increasing growth factor levels from skin fibroblasts.
