research Physiopathological role of the enzymatic complex 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase in the generation of progesterone and testosterone neuroactive metabolites
The enzymes 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase help create brain-active substances from progesterone and testosterone, which could be used for treatment, but more research is needed to ensure their safety and effectiveness.
research Effect and mechanism of Docosahexaenoic acid on the proliferation of dermal papilla cells
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) may help hair growth by promoting dermal papilla cell proliferation.
research Novel C-6 substituted and unsubstituted pregnane derivatives as 5α-reductase inhibitors and their effect on hamster flank organs diameter size
Certain compounds reduced hamster flank organ size by inhibiting 5α-reductase, like finasteride, without affecting androgen receptors.
research Commentary: Unroofing for hidradenitis suppurativa, why and how
Unroofing is an effective, less invasive, and cost-effective surgery for hidradenitis suppurativa with low recurrence and improved patient quality of life.
research Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and Testosterone Concentrations in Human Hair after Chronic DHEA Supplementation
Chronic DHEA supplementation slightly increases testosterone in hair but stays within safe limits.

Individuals with this condition often develop male traits and identities at puberty despite being raised as females.
research Polyphenolization:Hair Browning by Phenolic Adhesion,Ambient Oxygen, and Transition Metals
A new hair dye method uses polyphenols and oxidation to create a long-lasting brown color on gray hair.
research Comparison of efficacy of diode laser in patients of facial hirsutism with normal dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate and dihydrotestosterone versus deranged dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate and dihydrotestosterone level—A longitudinal study
Diode laser treatment works better for facial hirsutism in patients with normal hormone levels.
research Protein disulphide isomerase-mediated grafting of cysteine-containing peptides onto over-bleached hair
PDI helps restore over-bleached hair's strength and structure by attaching special peptides.
research Effect of Disulfide Bonds in Human Hair Fibers on the Melting Behavior of Their Crystalline Structure
Changing disulfide bonds in human hair affects its melting behavior and thermal stability.
research Hypoxia improves hair inductivity of dermal papilla cells via nuclearNADPH oxidase 4‐mediated reactive oxygen species generation'
Low oxygen levels can make hair-growing cells better at growing hair through a process involving reactive oxygen species.
research Structure of human steroid 5α-reductase 2 with the anti-androgen drug finasteride
Finasteride irreversibly affects human steroid 5α-reductase 2, providing insight into its catalytic mechanism and disease-related mutations.
research Enzymatic Method for Assessing Hair Damage with Reduction and Subsequent Oxidation
Permed hair degrades faster and shows more damage after protease treatment compared to untreated hair.
research A new catalyst for organic synthesis: mercuric triflate
Mercuric triflate is an effective catalyst for various organic reactions, working well at room temperature with high yields.
research Structural basis for the catalysis and inhibition of human steroid 5α‐reductase 2
The research gives new understanding on how human steroid 5α-reductases work and how drugs like finasteride inhibit them, which could help in creating new drugs.
research Steroid 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
New steroidal compounds could be effective for treating conditions related to 5α-reductase enzyme activity.

AMPD is a better and less damaging alternative to ammonium hydroxide for hair bleaching.
research Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) suppresses hair growth through downregulation of β-catenin
Hydrogen peroxide in hair dye can cause hair loss.
research Influence of Oxidative and/or Reductive Treatment on Human Hair (I): Analysis of Hair-Damage after Oxidative and/or Reductive Treatment
Chemical treatments and daily stresses damage hair, especially the cuticle layer.
research Identification of microRNAs involved in growth arrest and cell death in hydrogen peroxide-treated human dermal papilla cells
