research Acorus calamus: a bio-reserve of medicinal values
*Acorus calamus* has many medicinal benefits but needs more safety research.
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.

The method effectively identifies banned substances in hair loss and skin disease cosmetics.
research 11 Treatment of hirsutism and acne with cyproterone acetate
Cyproterone acetate is effective for treating hirsutism and acne but less so for hair loss, with side effects similar to birth control pills.
research Trypanocidal Effect of Isotretinoin through the Inhibition of Polyamine and Amino Acid Transporters in Trypanosoma cruzi
Isotretinoin shows promise as a treatment for Chagas disease by effectively inhibiting key transporters in the parasite.

Vertex pattern hair loss linked to higher prostate cancer risk.
research Biphasic Effects of Minoxidil on the Proliferation and Differentiation of Normal Human Keratinocytes
Minoxidil affects cell growth in two ways: low doses increase growth, while high doses slow it down and can be toxic.
research Sex differences in the effect of finasteride on acute ethanol withdrawal severity in C57BL/6J and DBA/2J mice
Finasteride reduces alcohol withdrawal severity in male mice but increases it in female mice.
research Solid effervescent formulations as new approach for topical minoxidil delivery
Effervescent formulations may improve minoxidil delivery, increasing effectiveness and reducing applications needed.
research Microencapsulated cell tracking
Microencapsulation helps protect and track therapeutic cells, showing promise for treating various diseases, but more work is needed to improve the technology.
research Clinical and hormonal effects of the 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor finasteride in idiopathic hirsutism.

research Comparison of finasteride and flutamide in the treatment of idiopathic hirsutism
Finasteride and flutamide both reduce hair growth, but finasteride has fewer side effects.
research A hypothetical pathogenesis model for androgenic alopecia: clarifying the dihydrotestosterone paradox and rate-limiting recovery factors
The model suggests that scalp tension could lead to hair loss, with factors like blood vessel hardening, enlarged oil glands, and poor microcirculation also playing a role. It also hints at a possible link between skull shape and baldness pattern.
research Limitations of human occipital scalp hair follicle organ culture for studying the effects of minoxidil as a hair growth enhancer
Scalp hair follicle culture has limits for testing minoxidil's hair growth effects.
