research Abstracts from the Symposium on the Pathophysiology of Hair Growth Organized by the Institute of Dermatology at the Royal Society of Medicine, 29 October 1987
The symposium concluded that hair growth involves complex processes, including the hair follicle life cycle, the role of the dermal papilla, hair strength, pigmentation, and the impact of diseases and treatments like minoxidil on hair and skin.
research Toxicity of the pharmaceuticals finasteride and melengestrol acetate to benthic invertebrates
Finasteride harms invertebrates' survival and burial ability.
research Identification of Key Genes and Signaling Pathways in Male Androgenetic Alopecia by Bioinformatics Analysis
Found key genes affecting hair loss, immune response, and skin development; more research needed for better treatments.
research Androgenetic Alopecia
Hair loss treated with minoxidil, finasteride, laser/light, hair transplant, and scalp prostheses; more research needed for skin of color.
research Estimation of serum aldosterone, free testosterone and DHEA-S and scalp androgen and aldosterone receptors in female androgenetic alopecia. Is the mystery solved?
High aldosterone and free testosterone levels link to female hair loss; testing aldosterone may predict hypertension risk.
research Pharmacology of anabolic steroids
Anabolic steroids can build muscle and strength but have risks and need more research on their clinical benefits and side effects.
research The Distribution of Estrogen Receptor β Is Distinct to That of Estrogen Receptor α and the Androgen Receptor in Human Skin and the Pilosebaceous Unit
Estrogen Receptor ß (ERß) is the main hormone controller in human skin and hair follicles, not Estrogen Receptor α (ERα) or the Androgen Receptor (AR).
research Beyond acne: Current aspects of sebaceous gland biology and function
The sebaceous gland has more roles than just producing sebum and contributing to acne, and new research could lead to better skin disease treatments.
research Hormonal contraceptives: pharmacology tailored to women's health
New hormonal contraceptives are safer, have fewer side effects, and offer health benefits for women.
research What should it take to describe a substance or product as 'sperm-safe'
Products should be called 'sperm-safe' only after thorough, well-designed tests.
research Hidradenitis suppurativa: an-androgen-dependent disorder
Hidradenitis suppurativa improves with antiandrogen therapy.
research Transient mitochondrial DNA double strand breaks in mice cause accelerated aging phenotypes in a ROS-dependent but p53/p21-independent manner
Damaging mitochondrial DNA in mice speeds up aging due to increased reactive oxygen species, not through the p53/p21 pathway.
research Recent advances in oxasteroids chemistry
New methods to make oxasteroids show promise for medical treatments like osteoporosis and breast cancer.
research Androgen modulation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in androgenetic alopecia
Androgens may block hair growth signals, targeting this could treat hair loss.
research What may be the markers of the male equivalent of polycystic ovary syndrome?
Some men with early hair loss may have a condition similar to PCOS in women.
research Basics of androgen synthesis and action
Androgens like testosterone are important hormones for both men and women, made differently in each sex and affecting the body by regulating genes and quick interactions with cell components.

Three drugs change mice's alcohol drinking patterns by affecting GABAA receptors.
research Understanding and Addressing Hair Disorders in Transgender Individuals
Hormone therapy affects hair growth in transgender individuals, with testosterone potentially causing hair loss in trans men and estrogen reducing facial/body hair in trans women; treatment options vary.
research Progesterone, neurosteroids, and the hormonal basis of catamenial epilepsy
Progesterone and related compounds may help control seizures linked to the menstrual cycle but have limitations that need addressing.
