research Non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency revisited: an update with a special focus on adolescent and adult women
The update highlights that non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia is common in women with excess male hormones, requires specific hormone tests for diagnosis, and has various treatment options depending on age and symptoms.
research Clinical features, with video documentation, of the original familial lewy body parkinsonism caused by α‐synuclein triplication (Iowa kindred)
The document describes a woman with familial Parkinson's disease due to a genetic mutation, showing severe symptoms and poor response to treatment, and suggests finasteride may help reduce symptoms in Tourette syndrome.
research Advancing Design Strategy of PROTACs for Cancer Therapy
PROTACs show promise for cancer treatment, but designing them effectively is challenging.
research In vitro and In vivo Effects of 17β-N-(4-phenylcarbamoyl) androst-4-en-3- one Derivatives as 5a-reductase Inhibitors on Androgen-dependent Glands
Three compounds were found to inhibit a prostate disease-related enzyme and reduce prostate size more effectively than the current treatment, suggesting they could be used for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research Investigation, treatment and monitoring of late‐onset hypogonadism in males: ISA, ISSAM, and EAU recommendations
Testosterone treatment for older men can have short-term benefits, but long-term risks are unclear, requiring careful evaluation and monitoring.
research Enzymatic Synthesis of α-Glucosyl-Baicalin through Transglucosylation via Cyclodextrin Glucanotransferase in Water
Enzymatic synthesis improved the water solubility of the flavonoid baicalin, which may help treat hair loss conditions.
research Aesthetically relevant symptoms of menopause transition: Impact and approach to management
Managing menopause symptoms like skin changes and hair thinning involves hormone therapy, procedures, and skincare, with emotional support being important.
research Design of Liposome Formulations for CRISPR/Cas9 Enzyme Immobilization: Evaluation of 5-Alpha-Reductase Enzyme Knockout for Androgenic Disorders

research 5α-Reductase inhibitors, antiviral and anti-tumor activities of some steroidal cyanopyridinone derivatives
Some newly made compounds are promising for treating enlarged prostate, hair loss, viruses, and prostate cancer, and might be better than current drugs.
research Anti-androgenic curcumin analogues as steroid 5-alpha reductase inhibitors
Some curcumin-like compounds can effectively and safely block the enzyme linked to hair loss and other conditions related to male hormones.
research Hair
Alopecia areata causes significant emotional and social challenges, especially with more hair loss.
research Androgens and hair growth
Androgens can both increase and decrease hair growth in different parts of the body.
research Androgen antagonists in androgen target tissues
Antiandrogens have important biological effects, but more research is needed to understand them fully and compare their effectiveness and side effects to other treatments.
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 Development of radioiodinated nonsteroidal androgen receptor ligands for spect imaging of prostate cancer
Scientists at the University of Michigan Medical School successfully created a special compound that can be used to improve imaging of prostate cancer.
research Androgen Receptor Antagonists (Antiandrogens) Structure-Activity Relationships
Antiandrogens like flutamide are effective in treating conditions like prostate cancer and hair loss, but there's a need for more potent versions. Understanding their structure can help develop better treatments.
research Testosterone Therapy in Premenopausal Women
Testosterone therapy may improve mood, well-being, and sexual function in premenopausal women, but more research is needed on its long-term safety and effectiveness.
research Androgens and hair: a biological paradox with clinical consequences
Androgens can both increase body hair and cause scalp hair loss.
research Androgen Receptor Mutations and Polymorphisms in African American Prostate Cancer
African American men with prostate cancer have more androgen receptor mutations, which may lead to more aggressive cancer compared to Caucasian American men.
research A variant of the glucocorticoid receptor gene is not associated with adrenal androgen excess in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
The N363S gene variant does not cause higher adrenal androgen levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Lower prostate cancer risk in Swedish men with the androgen receptor E213 A-allele
Swedish men with the E213 A-allele of the androgen receptor have a lower risk of prostate cancer.
research Novel progestogenic androgens for male contraception: design, synthesis, and activity of C7 α-substituted testosterone
New testosterone analogs show promise for male contraception with better activity and potentially fewer side effects.
research Polymorphisms in androgen and estrogen receptor genes: effects on male aging
Changes in testosterone and estrogen receptor genes can affect how men age, influencing body fat, hair patterns, and possibly leading to skin disorders.
research Androgen receptor gene polymorphism and biological age markers in men
