Mice without the enzyme HSD17B3 still produce normal testosterone, suggesting they have different ways to make it compared to humans.
research Recurrent missense mutations in the hair keratin gene hHb6 in monilethrix
Mutations in the hHb6 gene cause the hair disorder monilethrix.
research Loss of Dicer in Newborn Melanocytes Leads to Premature Hair Graying and Changes in Integrin Expression
Removing Dicer from pigment cells in newborn mice causes early hair graying and changes in cell migration molecules.
research Characterization of the serotoninergic system in the C57BL/6 mouse skin
Mouse skin can produce and process serotonin, with variations depending on hair cycle, body location, and mouse strain.
research Synthesis and Study of Some 17a-aza-D-homo Steroids as 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
The research found that compound 6, a newly created steroid, is more effective at inhibiting 5α-reductase (an enzyme) than current treatments, suggesting it could be a better option for treating urinary tract symptoms in men.

Human melanocytes have unique traits that affect melanoma development and prognosis.
research A Missense Mutation in the Cadherin Interaction Site of The Desmoglein 4 Gene Underlies Localized Autosomal Recessive Hypotrichosis
A specific gene mutation causes sparse, brittle hair in a family.
research Azasteroids as inhibitors of testosterone 5α-reductase in mammalian skin
Certain 4-azasteroids are effective at blocking the enzyme that processes testosterone in human skin and could help treat acne, excessive hair growth, and male pattern baldness.
research Conversion of C57Bl/6 mice from a tumor promotion–resistant to a –sensitive phenotype by enhanced ornithine decarboxylase expression
Increased ODC expression makes normally tumor-resistant mice more prone to tumor development.
research ChemInform Abstract: Rα‐Reductase Inhibitors‐ — The Finasteride Story
Finasteride effectively treats hair loss and prostate issues by blocking a specific enzyme.
research Sulfation of minoxidil by human liver phenol sulfotransferase
Minoxidil activates hair growth by being sulfated by P-PST in the human liver.
research Desmoglein 4 is regulated by transcription factors implicated in hair shaft differentiation
Desmoglein 4 is controlled by specific proteins that affect hair growth.
research EZH1 and EZH2 cogovern histone H3K27 trimethylation and are essential for hair follicle homeostasis and wound repair
EZH1 and EZH2 are crucial for healthy hair growth and skin repair.
research Abstract 5219: The role of MEK and Antizyme in keratinocyte stem cell expansion and differentiation
Antizyme reduces tumor growth and normalizes skin cell development affected by MEK.
research 5α-Metabolism in Finasteride-Treated Subjects and Male Pseudohermaphrodites with Inherited 5α-Reductase Deficiency
Finasteride lowers DHT levels and raises testosterone in a dose-dependent way.
research Die pathogenetische Bedeutung der 5α-Reduktase-Isoenzyme für die androgenetische Alopezie
Type 2 5α-reductase plays a key role in hair loss.
research Roles of p38- and c-jun NH2-terminal kinase-mediated pathways in 2-methoxyestradiol-induced p53 induction and apoptosis

research A Definitive Role of Ornithine Decarboxylase in Photocarcinogenesis
Inhibiting ODC can prevent UV-induced skin cancer.
research Metabolic dysfunction in female mice with disruption of 5α-reductase 1
Female mice with disrupted 5α-reductase 1 had significant metabolic issues, including stress response problems, insulin resistance, liver fat buildup, and obesity.
research Synthesis of novel andostane-N-cyclohexyl-17-carboxamides, and their effect on the 5α-reductase isoform 2, the androgen receptor, and androgen-dependent glands
New compounds were made and tested, with compound 6 showing potential for treating prostate-related diseases.
