New treatments for prostate cancer and BPH show promise, including novel compounds that target hormone synthesis and response.
research Androgenetic Alopecia
Male pattern baldness may be caused by factors like poor blood circulation, scalp tension, stress, and hormonal imbalances, but the exact causes are still unclear.
research Effect of metformin on clinical and biochemical hyperandrogenism in adolescent girls with type 1 diabetes
Metformin improved menstrual cycle regularity and signs of hyperandrogenism in adolescent girls with type 1 diabetes but did not improve blood sugar control.

research Calcineurin-based immunosuppression in renal transplantation : focus on efficacy, the role of steroids, and the cardiovascular risk
Tacrolimus causes fewer acute rejections than cyclosporin A in kidney transplants but doesn't necessarily improve kidney function after one year; cardiovascular risks and side effects vary between the two drugs.
research Guidelines for the Use of Acitretin in Psoriasis
Acitretin is effective for severe psoriasis and can be used long-term due to no immunosuppression, but must be carefully monitored for side effects and is not for pregnant women.
research Cell death in the skin
