Anti-androgens are safe and effective for treating moderate to severe adult female acne.
research Detecting the Mechanism behind the Transition from Fixed Two-Dimensional Patterned Sika Deer (Cervus nippon) Dermal Papilla Cells to Three-Dimensional Pattern
The study concluded that changing the culture conditions can cause sika deer skin cells to switch from a flat to a 3D pattern, which is important for creating hair follicles.
research Free Androgen Index (FAI): Marker of Premature Androgenetic Alopecia in Men
The Free Androgen Index (FAI) is the best indicator of early hair loss in men before age 30.
research Exploring the Mechanism of Platycladi Cacumen in Intervening Androgenetic Alopecia Based on Network Pharmacology, Molecular Docking, and Molecular Dynamics Simulation
Platycladi Cacumen may help treat hair loss by targeting specific proteins and pathways.
research Study on the mechanism that SNPs related to sex hormone metabolism regulate the imbalance of sex hormones and lead to BPH in rats
Combined finasteride and anastrozole therapy effectively treats BPH, influenced by hormone imbalances and genetics.
research Hepatotoxicity Associated with Anabolic Androgenic Steroids and Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators: A Literature Review
Anabolic steroids and SARMs can cause serious liver damage.
research Mechanism of astragaloside A against lung adenocarcinoma based on network pharmacology combined with molecular dynamics simulation technique
Astragaloside A may help fight lung cancer by targeting specific proteins.
research Integrated miRNA and mRNA Analysis Provides New Insight into Mechanism of dermal papilla in Androgenetic Alopecia
Increased cell death and reduced cell growth in hair follicles contribute to baldness.
research Safety aspects of androgen treatment with 5α-dihydrotestosterone
DHT is a strong androgen that may pose less risk to the prostate compared to testosterone.
research Identification of Androgen-Inducible TGF-β1 Derived from Dermal Papilla Cells as a Key Mediator in Androgenetic Alopecia
TGF-β1 from dermal papilla cells suppresses hair growth, and targeting it may help treat androgenetic alopecia.
research Mechanisms of Disease: selective inhibition of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 as a novel treatment for the metabolic syndrome
Blocking the enzyme 11β-HSD1 might help treat obesity and metabolic issues.
research Animal models of androgen-dependent disorders of the pilosebaceous apparatus
Testosterone causes hair loss in AGA mice, which are good for testing baldness treatments, and both minoxidil and cyproterone acetate can prevent this hair loss.
research PLASMA C19 STEROID SULPHATE LEVELS AND INDICES OF ANDROGEN BIOAVAILABILITY IN FEMALE PATTERN ANDROGENIC ALOPECIA
Women with female pattern hair loss have higher levels of certain androgens, suggesting increased androgen exposure to hair follicles.
research Controversies Regarding Transdermal Androgen Therapy in Postmenopausal Women
Testosterone therapy may slightly improve sexual function in postmenopausal women, but its long-term safety is unknown.
research Anti-androgens for the treatment of hirsutism
Different anti-androgen medications can help treat excessive hair growth, but the right choice depends on accurate diagnosis.
research Mechanistic Analysis of Human Skin Distribution and Follicular Targeting of Adapalene-Loaded Biodegradable Nanospheres With an Insight Into Hydrogel Matrix Influence, In Vitro Skin Irritation, and In Vivo Tolerability
Researchers developed a nanomedicine for acne treatment that delivers medication with less irritation and is non-irritating for oily skin.
research Reversal of andro-genetic alopecia in a male. A spironolactone effect?
A man's baldness improved possibly due to a medication that blocks male hormones.
research Effect and mechanism of Docosahexaenoic acid on the proliferation of dermal papilla cells
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) may help hair growth by promoting dermal papilla cell proliferation.
research Serum androgens and prostate-specific antigen levels in androgenetic alopecia: is there a difference between frontal and vertex baldness?

research 1381 Molecular mechanisms of donor dominance in androgenetic alopecia
Hair pattern in androgenetic alopecia overlaps with scalp and bone demarcations, with distinct gene profiles affecting susceptibility.
research American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, American College of Endocrinology, and Androgen Excess and PCOS Society Disease State Clinical Review: Guide to the Best Practices in the Evaluation and Treatment of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome - Part 1
The guide recommends specific methods for diagnosing PCOS and various treatments for its symptoms, while considering the health impacts on adolescents.
research Recent advances on the mechanisms of kidney stone formation (Review)
Kidney stones form due to factors like urine concentration, calcium deposits, hormones, gut bacteria, and immune response.
