Testosterone treatment may change estrogen receptor methylation in AFAB individuals.
research Response to Letter: “Characteristics of Men Who Report Persistent Sexual Symptoms After Finasteride Use for Hair Loss”
Finasteride's sexual side effects not caused by androgen deficiency or SRD5A inhibition.
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 Male androgenetic alopecia
DHT, a testosterone byproduct, causes male pattern baldness.
research Men with Kennedy disease have a reduced risk of androgenetic alopecia
Men with Kennedy disease have less chance of hair loss.
research Testosterone therapy for transgender men

research Editor’s picks January 2021
PrEP doesn't increase STI risk in high-risk men, anti-androgen drugs may lower ICU admission for male COVID-19 patients, a 3-point injection is better for crow's feet, and the 'Geriatric-8' tool could help assess frailty in older skin cancer patients.
research Dimorphic regulation of the MafB gene by sex steroids in hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus)
Sex steroids affect the MafB gene differently in male and female hamsters.
research Sex differences in COVID-19: the role of androgens in disease severity and progression
Male hormones like testosterone may make COVID-19 worse, and testing for sensitivity to these hormones could help predict how severe a patient's symptoms might be. Treatments that reduce these hormones are being explored.
research Hormonal regulation in male androgenetic alopecia—Sex hormones and beyond: Evidence from recent genetic studies
Hormones and genes affect hair growth and male baldness.
research Molecular basis of androgen action on human sexual desire
Testosterone significantly affects sexual desire in both men and women, but its impact on women is more complex and influenced by psychological factors.
research Gender Specificity of a Genetic Variant of Androgen Receptor and Risk of Coronary Artery Disease
A genetic variant in the androgen receptor gene increases heart disease risk in women but not in men.
research From gene to therapy in spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy: Are we there yet?
Effective treatments for spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy are not yet available; more research is needed.
research Delayed Puberty
A 19-year-old male with delayed puberty was successfully treated for a condition that prevents normal hormone production.
research Hormonal regulation of hair follicles exhibits a biological paradox
Androgens can both stimulate and cause hair loss, and understanding their effects is key to treating hair disorders.
research Evaluation of androgen receptor gene as a candidate gene in female androgenetic alopecia
AR gene not major factor in female hair loss; different from male hair loss.
research The Biology of Hair Growth
Hair growth is influenced by hormones and goes through different phases; androgens can both promote and inhibit hair growth depending on the body area.
research Androgenetic alopecia in heterozygous carriers of a mutation in the human hairless gene
Mutation in hairless gene may increase hair loss risk.

Mutation in hairless gene may increase hair loss risk.
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 Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Conditions, Genetics and Current Cure
PCOS has no cure, but treatments can manage symptoms and improve health.
research Overactive bladder in men
Finasteride increases hair count and improves hair growth with low risk of side effects.
