Finasteride blocks progesterone production in specific tumor cells, potentially causing side effects.
research Evaluation of Keratinocyte Proliferation and Differentiation in Vitamin D Receptor Knockout Mice*
Alopecia in VDR knockout mice is due to a defect in hair cycle initiation, not keratinocyte issues.
research The Antiandrogenic Action of 4–Androsten–3–one–17β– Carboxylic Acid and Its Methyl Ester on Hamster Flank Organ1

A gene mutation worsens skin irritation in mice due to a lack of certain fats.
research 7745 Hirsutism in young girls, Beyond PCOS
Hirsutism in young girls can have causes other than PCOS, so diagnoses should be reassessed if treatments don't work.
research Careless talk costs lives: fibroblast growth factor receptor signalling and the consequences of pathway malfunction
Fibroblast growth factor receptor signaling controls cell development and repair, and its malfunction can cause disorders and cancer, but it also offers potential for targeted therapies.
research Decreased Androgen Receptor Gene Methylation in Premature Pubarche: A Novel Pathogenetic Mechanism?
Reduced AR gene methylation may cause early pubic hair growth in girls.
research 17-Hydroxyprogesterone Responses to Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Disclose Distinct Phenotypes of Functional Ovarian Hyperandrogenism and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Men and women experience skin aging differently due to changes in sex hormone levels with age.
research In response to the letter to the editor by Soha Ghanian et al. re our publication “Shorter androgen receptor polyQ alleles protect against life-threatening COVID-19 disease in European males”
The authors maintain that shorter androgen receptor alleles may lead to milder COVID-19 by positively affecting the immune response, not due to changes in testosterone levels or activity.
research Distinct stem cells contribute to mammary gland development and maintenance
Different types of long-lasting stem cells are responsible for the growth and upkeep of the mammary gland.
