research 556 α 1 -AR agonist induced piloerection protects against the development of traction alopecia
Phenylephrine may help prevent hair loss from pulling on the hair roots.
research Costunolide—A Bioactive Sesquiterpene Lactone with Diverse Therapeutic Potential
Costunolide may have multiple health benefits, including promoting hair growth and protecting against cancer and diabetes, but more research is needed.
research The Senescence–Stemness Alliance – A Cancer-Hijacked Regeneration Principle
Cancer can hijack the body's cell repair system to promote tumor growth, and targeting this process may improve cancer treatments.
research Hairless: A nuclear receptor corepressor essential for skin function
The Hairless gene is crucial for healthy skin and hair growth.
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 Nanoparticles in Cancer Treatment: A Narrative Review
Nanoparticles improve cancer treatment by reducing side effects and targeting cancer cells better.
research Stem Cells and the Niche: A Dynamic Duo
Stem cell niches are crucial for regulating stem cell behavior and tissue health, and their decline can impact aging and cancer.
research Hydroxychloroquine modulates the progression of experimentally induced benign prostatic hyperplasia in rats via targeting EGFR/ERK/STAT3 and AR/FOXO1/TRAIL pathways: computational and in vivo studies
Hydroxychloroquine may help treat benign prostatic hyperplasia by reducing inflammation and promoting cell death.
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 Synthesis and structure–activity studies of side-chain derivatized arylhydantoins for investigation as androgen receptor radioligands
The nature of the side chain in RU 58841 derivatives greatly affects its AR affinity, with the N-(iodopropenyl) derivative 13 showing the highest AR binding affinity, suggesting its potential for developing high-affinity radioiodinated AR radioligands.
research The Molecular Basis of Androgen Insensitivity
Mutations in the androgen receptor gene cause Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome, affecting sexual development.
research Identification of two additional novel mutations in the AR gene associated with severe forms of androgen insensitivity syndrome
Two new mutations in the AR gene linked to severe androgen insensitivity were found.
research Improving selective androgen receptor modulator discovery and preclinical evaluation
We need better ways to test and understand SARMs to make safer and more effective treatments.
research Probing androgen receptor co-factor selectivity profiles: a chemical tool to determine cross-talk between androgen receptor and β-catenin in vivo
PF-05314882 selectively activates androgen receptors without much effect on prostate and may help in prostate cancer treatment and hair loss prevention.
research The Distribution of Estrogen Receptor β Is Distinct to That of Estrogen Receptor α and the Androgen Receptor in Human Skin and the Pilosebaceous Unit
Estrogen Receptor ß (ERß) is the main hormone controller in human skin and hair follicles, not Estrogen Receptor α (ERα) or the Androgen Receptor (AR).
research The role of androgen and androgen receptor in skin-related disorders
Targeting androgen receptors could be a promising way to treat skin disorders with fewer side effects.
research Emerging medication for the treatment of male hypogonadism
New treatments for male hypogonadism are effective and should be personalized.
research Non-canonical dimerization of the androgen receptor and other nuclear receptors: implications for human disease
Mutations in certain receptors can cause diseases and offer new treatment options.
research Androgen receptor: A promising therapeutic target in breast cancer
The androgen receptor is a promising target for breast cancer treatment, especially in triple-negative cases, but more research is needed for personalized therapies.
research The antiandrogenic effect of finasteride against a mutant androgen receptor
Finasteride may improve prostate cancer treatment outcomes.
research Hyaluronic acid-FGF2-derived peptide bioconjugates for suppression of FGFR2 and AR simultaneously as an acne antagonist
The new anti-acne treatment HA-P5 effectively reduces acne by targeting two key receptors and avoids an enzyme that can hinder treatment.
research Androgen effects on the skin
Androgens like testosterone affect skin health and can lead to conditions such as acne and hair loss, with various treatments available.
research Modelling androgen synthesis and action during human sexual differentiation
Male sexual differentiation is regulated independently, while female differentiation occurs in an androgenic environment, affecting conditions like congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
research Anti-Androgen Effects of Extracts and Compounds fromGanoderma lucidum
Ganoderma lucidum may help treat prostate cancer by blocking male hormones and slowing cancer cell growth.
research Bad Hair Day: Testosterone and Wnts
Testosterone can both promote hair growth and cause baldness by affecting hair growth signals.
