research Control of Human Hair Growth by Neurotrophins: Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Inhibits Hair Shaft Elongation, Induces Catagen, and Stimulates Follicular Transforming Growth Factor β2 Expression
Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) slows down hair growth and promotes hair follicle regression.
research Comparison of Diane 35 and Diane 35 plus finasteride in the treatment of hirsutism
Diane 35 plus finasteride is more effective for treating hirsutism.
research Expression of mRNA for androgen receptor, 5alpha-reductase and 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in human dermal papilla cells
Hair sensitivity to androgens is partly controlled by specific enzyme expressions in different hair areas.

LCN may improve finasteride delivery for hair loss treatment.
research The dihydrotestosterone (DHT) hypothesis of prostate cancer and its therapeutic implications
The document suggests that targeting the hormone DHT could be a more effective treatment for prostate cancer than targeting testosterone.
research Nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia
Nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia is a genetic condition that can cause early puberty and fertility problems, treated with specific steroids.
research C19and C215β/5αMetabolite Ratios in Subjects Treated with the 5α-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride: Comparison of Male Pseudohermaphrodites with Inherited 5α-Reductase Deficiency*

research Topical Minoxidil Therapy in Hereditary Androgenetic Alopecia
Using minoxidil on the scalp can help grow hair for people with hereditary baldness.
research Long-term treatment of severe hypertension with minoxidil, propranolol and furosemide.
Minoxidil, propranolol, and furosemide effectively control severe hypertension, but may cause sodium retention.
research Stem cell markers (cytokeratin 15, CD34 and nestin) in primary scarring and nonscarring alopecia
Scarring alopecia affects different hair follicle stem cells than nonscarring alopecia, and the infundibular region could be a new treatment target.
research Minoxidil therapy in children with severe hypertension
Minoxidil helps lower high blood pressure in kids, but can cause fluid retention and hair growth.
