research Intratumoral De Novo Steroid Synthesis Activates Androgen Receptor in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer and Is Upregulated by Treatment with CYP17A1 Inhibitors
Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.

Laser device increases hair density, safe for treating hair loss in men and women.
research Androgenetic alopecia: An update
Minoxidil and finasteride effectively treat hair loss.
research Adverse effects of common medications on male fertility
Some common medications can harm male fertility, but many effects can be reversed.
research Androgenic Effects on Ventricular Repolarization
ADT, especially enzalutamide, may increase the risk of heart rhythm problems and sudden death in men.
research Functional complexity of hair follicle stem cell niche and therapeutic targeting of niche dysfunction for hair regeneration
Understanding how hair follicle stem cells work can help find new ways to prevent hair loss and promote hair growth.
research What should it take to describe a substance or product as 'sperm-safe'

research Finasteride use in the male infertility population: effects on semen and hormone parameters
Finasteride can reduce fertility in some men, but stopping it increases sperm count.
research Ultrasound-activated particles as CRISPR/Cas9 delivery system for androgenic alopecia therapy
Scientists have created a new hair loss treatment using ultrasound to deliver gene-editing particles, which resulted in up to 90% hair regrowth in mice.
research 5α-Reduced glucocorticoids: a story of natural selection
Natural 5α-reduced glucocorticoids might be anti-inflammatory with fewer side effects than current options.
research Overexpression of aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3) in LNCaP cells diverts androgen metabolism towards testosterone resulting in resistance to the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride
Too much AKR1C3 enzyme causes resistance to finasteride by increasing testosterone.
