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 Finasteride and male fertility
Finasteride may decrease semen quality but not harm sperm production, and stopping the drug can improve semen quality; hyperprolactinemia can cause infertility but is treatable with medication.

research The biphasic regulatory effect of diphencyprone on mouse hair growth and its relation to protein kinase C isoforms
Diphencyprone initially increases mouse hair growth, then slows it, possibly due to changes in specific protein levels.
research Natural Product-Inspired Bis(trifluoromethyl) Phenyl Hydroxycinnamate Derivatives as Promising Nonsteroidal Inhibitors of Human Steroid 5α-Reductase Type-1: Synthesis, In Vitro, and In Silico Studies
New compounds show promise as nonsteroidal treatments for hair loss.
