High doses of cyclosporine A increase testosterone conversion, possibly boosting hair growth.
research 12-Chloracetyl-PPD, a novel dammarane derivative, shows anti-cancer activity via delay the progression of cell cycle G2/M phase and reactive oxygen species-mediate cell apoptosis
A new compound slows cancer cell growth and causes cell death by blocking cell cycle progression and increasing cell-damaging molecules.
research Two Calcium Sensor-Activated Kinases Function in Root Hair Growth
CIPK13 and CIPK18 genes are crucial for root hair growth in plants.
research [Long-term treatment of virilized women with cyproterone acetate (author's transl)].
Cyproterone acetate effectively treats virilized women, especially under 35, despite some side effects.

Dihydrotestosterone causes p27 protein breakdown in ovarian and breast cancer cells by binding with SKP2.
research Stereocontrolled synthesis of all eight stereoisomers of the putative anti-androgen cyoctol
Scientists made all eight versions of a compound called cyoctol, but found it's not an anti-androgen and it fully breaks down in the skin.
