The gene HDC is important for the development of hair follicles in newborn mice.

The research found that polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has two distinct types, with one having more severe hormone and insulin issues.

Neurosteroids help regulate oxytocin levels, especially during stress and pregnancy, to protect against premature labor.

DHEA stimulates skin oil glands and could help postmenopausal women, with potential for acne and excessive hair growth treatments.

The conclusion is that new plant-based treatments for hair loss may work by targeting certain enzymes.
