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 Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Generalised Glucocorticoid Resistance
Generalized glucocorticoid resistance causes hormone imbalances and varied symptoms due to gene mutations.
research Androgenetische Alopezie beim Mann . Male androgenetic alopecia
Male androgenetic alopecia involves hair follicle miniaturization due to DHT, with potential treatments using inhibitors and blockers.
research Skin manifestations of hyperandrogenism: an update
Targeting androgen receptors in the skin is the most effective treatment for hyperandrogenism-related skin issues.
research Precision therapeutics in non-scarring alopecia: a systemic genomic and pathway-based framework for targeted interventions

research Increased Incidence of Telogen Effluvium Following Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy in Patients with Elevated TNF-α Expression: A Prospective Cohort Study
High TNF-α levels may increase hair loss risk after PRP therapy.
research Updates in Treatment for Androgenetic Alopecia
New treatments for hair loss include low-dose oral minoxidil, light therapy, and innovative therapies targeting hair growth mechanisms.
research Hétérogénéité tumorale du cancer de la prostate et infection par le SARS-CoV2 : une relation complexe impliquant les vésicules extracellulaires et le récepteur des androgènes
