research Therapeutic Androgen Receptor Ligands
Androgens and SARMs play a role in body mass, frailty, skin health, and hair growth, and are used in treating prostate cancer, acne, and hair loss, with potential for new uses and improved versions in the future.
research Polymeric micelle mediated follicular delivery of spironolactone: Targeting the mineralocorticoid receptor to prevent glucocorticoid-induced activation and delayed cutaneous wound healing
Using polymeric micelles to deliver spironolactone topically could improve wound healing in skin affected by glucocorticoids.
research The potential of androgenic alopecia management from plant derivatives
Plant extracts like Avicennia marina, Boehmeria nipononivea, and Camellia sinensis could potentially treat hair loss with fewer side effects than synthetic drugs.
research Molecular interactions of natural and synthetic steroids in female hamsters’ flank organs
Testosterone, progesterone, and levonorgestrel change enzyme levels related to fat production in hamster skin, which could affect skin oil and acne.
research A Comprehensive Review: The Bidirectional Role of Sebum in Skin Health
Sebum is essential for skin health but can cause acne if unbalanced.
research Intratumoral De Novo Steroid Synthesis Activates Androgen Receptor in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer and Is Upregulated by Treatment with CYP17A1 Inhibitors
Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.
research Androgens Protect against Apolipoprotein E4-Induced Cognitive Deficits
Androgens can help prevent memory problems caused by apoE4.
research Androgens and androgen receptor action in skin and hair follicles
Male hormones and their receptors play a key role in hair loss and skin health, with potential new treatments being explored.
research Polymorphisms of the Androgen Receptor Gene and the Estrogen Receptor β Gene Are Associated with Androgen Levels in Women1
Certain genetic variations in the AR and ERβ genes can affect androgen levels in women.
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 Expression and function of nuclear receptor co-activator 4: evidence of a potential role independent of co-activator activity
NcoA4 may have roles beyond helping control gene activity, possibly affecting cell behavior and stability.
research Activation of AR Sensitizes Breast Carcinomas to NVP-BEZ235's Therapeutic Effect Mediated by PTEN and KLLN Upregulation
Breast cancer treatments work better with AR activation, improving results and reducing side effects.
research Screening of synthetic and natural product databases: Identification of novel androgens and antiandrogens
Researchers found new potential treatments for conditions related to the androgen receptor, like male hormonal contraception, by testing thousands of compounds.
research Regional difference in sebum production by androgen susceptibility in human facial skin
The T-zone on the face has more androgen receptors and produces more oil than the U-zone.
research Recent Advances in Drug Design and Drug Discovery for Androgen- Dependent Diseases
New treatments for prostate cancer and BPH show promise, including novel compounds that target hormone synthesis and response.
research Bad Hair Day: Testosterone and Wnts
Testosterone can both promote hair growth and cause baldness by affecting hair growth signals.
research Analysis of androgen receptor expression and activity in the mouse brain
Androgen receptors in the mouse brain may explain cognitive and mood changes in prostate cancer treatment.
research Androgen receptor gene polymorphism and biological age markers in men
AR gene variations don't affect aging markers in men.
research Design, synthesis and anti-tumor evaluation of novel thiohydantoin congeners as androgen receptor antagonists with in vivo study.
A new compound, 3a, effectively fights prostate cancer better than finasteride.
research Male‐pattern baldness, common latent viruses, and microcompetition
Common latent viruses might contribute to male-pattern baldness by disrupting cell processes that normally suppress hair loss-related proteins.
research Neurosteroid Synthesis-Mediated Regulation of GABAAReceptors: Relevance to the Ovarian Cycle and Stress
Ovarian and stress hormones can change GABA A receptors through neurosteroids.
research Revising the role of the androgen receptor in breast cancer
The document concludes that targeting the androgen receptor may be a promising breast cancer treatment, especially for certain types.
research Androgen receptors and their biology
Androgen receptors are key for development and health, affecting conditions like prostate cancer and male pattern baldness.
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 SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein S1-Mediated Endothelial Injury and Pro-Inflammatory State Is Amplified by Dihydrotestosterone and Prevented by Mineralocorticoid Antagonism
Spironolactone may help reduce COVID-19 severity in men by blocking harmful effects of certain hormones.
research Stem cell-derived motor neurons from spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy patients
The study suggests that motor neurons created from stem cells of patients with spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy show signs of the disease, including changes in protein levels and cell functions.
research Wnt signaling: the good and the bad
Wnt signaling is important for development and cell regulation but can cause diseases like cancer when not working properly.
research Hypertension and aldosterone levels in women with early-onset androgenetic alopecia
Women with early hair loss have higher blood pressure and aldosterone; screening and treatment may help.
research Local and Systemic Reduction by Topical Finasteride or Flutamide of Hamster Flank Organ Size and Enzyme Activity
