research Skin Aging and Menopause
Menopause can lead to skin and hair problems due to hormonal changes, but hormone replacement therapy might help slow these effects.
research The Hair Follicle as an Estrogen Target and Source
Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.
research Function and underlying mechanisms of seasonal colour moulting in mammals and birds: what keeps them changing in a warming world?
Animals that change color with the seasons mainly do so in response to daylight changes, but climate change is causing camouflage problems that may require evolutionary changes.
research The Rationale for Inhibiting 5α-Reductase Isoenzymes in the Prevention and Treatment of Prostate Cancer
Inhibiting 5α-reductase can help reduce prostate cancer risk and improve treatment.
research Androgenetic Alopecia
Male pattern hair loss is genetic and influenced by hormones, with treatments like minoxidil and surgery available.
research 9 Role of 5α-reductase in health and disease
5α-reductase is essential for male sexual development and its inhibitors have potential in treating various conditions related to hormone action.
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 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 5α‐Reductase Isozymes and Androgen Actions in the Prostate

research Male pattern hair loss: current understanding
Genetics and hormones cause hair loss; finasteride treats it safely.
research Androgen binding profiles of two distinct nuclear androgen receptors in Atlantic croaker (Micropogonias undulatus)
Different types of androgens bind differently to two receptors, AR1 and AR2, in Atlantic croaker's brain and ovarian tissues, suggesting these receptors may control different androgen actions in fish.
research Effect of 5α-Reductase Inhibitors on Sexual Function: A Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials
5α-reductase inhibitors increase the risk of sexual dysfunction, especially in men with enlarged prostate.
research DKK1 Mediated Inhibition of Wnt Signaling in Postnatal Mice Leads to Loss of TEC Progenitors and Thymic Degeneration
