research Matriptase activation and shedding with HAI-1 is induced by steroid sex hormones in human prostate cancer cells, but not in breast cancer cells
Steroid sex hormones activate matriptase in prostate cancer cells but not in breast cancer cells.
research Androgenetic alopecia may be associated with weaker COVID-19 T-cell immune response: An insight into a potential COVID-19 vaccine booster
Hair loss may link to weaker COVID-19 immunity, suggesting possible need for extra vaccine boost.
research Androgenetic alopecia: pathogenesis and potential for therapy
Hair loss needs more research for better treatments.
research Intracrine androgen biosynthesis, metabolism and action revisited
The document concludes that blocking the internal pathways that create androgens might help treat cancers that depend on sex hormones.
research Acne: Hormonal concepts and therapy
Hormones, especially androgens, play a big role in acne, but most acne sufferers don't have a hormone disorder. Hormonal treatments, including birth control pills, can be very effective for women whose acne doesn't improve with regular treatments.
research Male-pattern baldness susceptibility locus at 20p11
Researchers found a new gene area linked to male-pattern baldness, which, along with another gene, significantly increases the risk of hair loss in men.
research Endocrine control of benign prostatic hyperplasia
Hormones and metabolism play a complex role in prostate enlargement, and more research is needed to improve diagnosis and treatment.
research Pathways to inflammation: acne pathophysiology
Acne is caused by genetics, diet, hormones, and bacteria, with treatments not yet curative.
research New Therapeutic Approach to the Hirsute Patient
Spironolactone can reduce hair growth in women with hirsutism.
research Potential targets in the discovery of new hair growth promoters for androgenic alopecia
The document concludes that targeting 5α-reductase, the androgen receptor, and hair growth genes, along with using compounds with anti-androgenic properties, could lead to more effective hair loss treatments.
research Innovative use of spironolactone as an antiandrogen in the treatment of female pattern hair loss.
Spironolactone helps regrow hair in women with hair loss.
research Characteristics of Androgenetic Alopecia in Asian

research Estrogens and Human Scalp Hair Growth—Still More Questions than Answers
The effects of estrogen on human hair growth are unclear and need more research.
research Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy: pathogenesis and clinical management
Kennedy's disease leads to muscle weakness without a cure, but exercise and managing symptoms may help patients live a normal lifespan.
research Which chemicals should be grouped together for mixture risk assessments of male reproductive disorders?
Group a wide range of chemicals, not just phthalates, for assessing risks to male reproductive health.
research Male pattern baldness: current treatments, future prospects
Current treatments for male pattern baldness include minoxidil and finasteride, with new options being developed.
research Inhibition of Hair Growth by Testosterone in the Presence of Dermal Papilla Cells from the Frontal Bald Scalp of the Postpubertal Stumptailed Macaque1
Testosterone can slow down hair growth when combined with certain cells from bald scalps, and this effect can be blocked by an androgen receptor blocker.
research Steroidogenic Isoenzymes in Human Hair and Their Potential Role in Androgenetic Alopecia
Steroidogenic isoenzymes may help improve treatments for common hair loss.
research Characteristics of flutamide action on prostatic and testicular functions in the rat
Flutamide combined with an LHRH agonist effectively inhibits prostate growth, suggesting it could treat prostate cancer.
research Triclocarban, Triclosan, Bromochlorophene, Chlorophene, and Climbazole Effects on Nuclear Receptors: An in Silico and in Vitro Study

research Becker's Nevus with Ipsilateral Breast Hypoplasia: Improvement with Spironolactone
Spironolactone may help enlarge a small breast linked to Becker's nevus.
research Mechanism of action of androgen in hair follicles
Testosterone affects hair follicles differently across body sites, with beard hair follicles showing more activity of a specific enzyme and presence of androgen receptors compared to scalp hair.
research Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase (17β -HSD3, 17β-HSD5, and 3α-HSD3) Inhibitors:Extragonadal Regulation of Intracellular Sex Steroid Hormone Levels
Certain inhibitors can potentially treat prostate cancer and other hormone-dependent conditions by controlling sex hormone levels in cells.
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 Genetic basis of polycystic ovary syndrome
