research Molecular Genetic and Endocrine Mechanisms of Hair Growth
Hormones and their receptors, especially androgens, play a key role in hair growth and disorders like baldness.
research Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs) Negatively Regulate Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Growth and Epithelial:Mesenchymal Stem Cell Signaling
SARMs may be an effective treatment for a certain type of breast cancer by blocking cancer growth and spread.
research Genetic basis of polycystic ovary syndrome
The document concludes that PCOS has a strong genetic component, but more research is needed to fully understand the specific genes involved.
research Alopecia - the search for novel agents continues
Many potential alopecia treatments need more testing to confirm they promote acceptable hair growth with minimal side effects.
research Double Knockdown of the Androgen Receptor Target Genes DKK1 and SFRP1 Does Not Potentiate the Hair Growth-Promoting Effect of SFRP1 Silencing in Healthy Human Hair Follicles Ex Vivo
Silencing SFRP1 alone promotes hair growth, but adding DKK1 does not help.
research Immunological aspects and gender bias during respiratory viral infections including novel Coronavirus disease‐19 (COVID‐19): A scoping review
Men are more likely to have severe respiratory viral infections like COVID-19 due to hormonal and genetic differences, while women generally have stronger immune responses.
research Structural perspectives on the androgen receptor, the elusive shape-shifter
The androgen receptor's shape-changing ability helps it function but can lead to cancer treatment resistance.
research The endocrinology of baldness
Hormones and genetics play key roles in male and female baldness, which can affect mental health and may be linked to other health issues.
research The Postnatal Offspring of Finasteride-Treated Male Rats Shows Hyperglycaemia, Elevated Hepatic Glycogen Storage and Altered GLUT2, IR, and AR Expression in the Liver
Finasteride-treated male rats' offspring had altered glucose metabolism, potentially increasing diabetes risk.
research Androgens/Androgen Receptor in the Management of Skin Diseases
Understanding how androgens and their receptors work can lead to improved treatments for skin diseases.
research Relationship between betacoronaviruses and the endocrine system: a new key to understand the COVID-19 pandemic—A comprehensive review
Betacoronaviruses, like COVID-19, may cause hormone system dysfunction and affect disease susceptibility and severity.
research Sex differences in SARS-CoV-2 infection rates and the potential link to prostate cancer
Men, especially older ones with health issues like prostate cancer, may have worse COVID-19 outcomes and could benefit from therapies targeting male hormones.
research Gender Differences in Cardiac Hypertrophy
Women generally handle heart enlargement better than men, but it's riskier for them if it occurs; hormones like estrogen offer some protection.
research Synaptic Long-Term Potentiation and Depression in the Rat Medial Vestibular Nuclei Depend on Neural Activation of Estrogenic and Androgenic Signals
Estrogen and androgen signals control synaptic changes in rat brains.
research COVID-19 Severity and Androgen Receptor Polymorphism
Men with more CAG repeats in the androgen receptor gene and lower testosterone levels may experience more severe COVID-19.
research Acne
Acne is a common skin condition linked to diet, hormones, and genetics, and early treatment can prevent scarring.
research Hair Thickness Growth Effect of Adenosine Complex in Male-/Female-Patterned Hair Loss via Inhibition of Androgen Receptor Signaling
Adenosine complex helps increase hair thickness and density in hair loss.
research Microarray analysis of androgenetic and senescent alopecia: Comparison of gene expression shows two distinct profiles
The conclusion is that androgenetic alopecia and senescent alopecia have unique gene changes, suggesting different causes and potential treatments for these hair loss types.
research Restoration of Spermatogenesis and Male Fertility Using an Androgen Receptor Transgene
Scientists restored fertility in male mice lacking a key fertility gene by using a modified gene.
research Purple corn extract improves benign prostatic hyperplasia by inhibiting 5 alpha-reductase type 2 and inflammation in testosterone propionate-induced rats
Purple corn extract may help reduce prostate enlargement and inflammation.
research ERG induces androgen receptor-mediated regulation of SOX9 in prostate cancer
ERG increases SOX9, promoting prostate cancer growth and invasion.
research Anti-Alopecia Activity of Coumarin Derivatives Isolated from Merremia peltata Leaves and Computational Study of Their Binding to Androgen Receptors Using Molecular Docking and Molecular Dynamic Simulation
Scopolin and scopoletin from Merremia peltata leaves may help treat hair loss and showed promising results in rabbit tests.

A new genetic change causing early stop in the androgen receptor gene was found in a patient with androgen insensitivity syndrome.
research Histological and immunohistochemical examination of the effect of the nonsteroidal antiandrogen {flutamide} on some organs of the male reproductive system in albino rats
Flutamide caused damage to male rat reproductive organs and may affect fertility.
research Role of polymorphism of the androgen receptor gene andnon-random x chromosome inactivation in the pathogenesisof androgenic alopecia
Certain genes and X chromosome patterns may significantly contribute to the development of hair loss.
research Testosterone Reduces Knee Passive Range of Motion and Expression of Relaxin Receptor Isoforms via 5α-Dihydrotestosterone and Androgen Receptor Binding
