Androgens like testosterone are important hormones for both men and women, made differently in each sex and affecting the body by regulating genes and quick interactions with cell components.

Meis1 is crucial for skin health and tumor development.

4-azasteroids, including finasteride, can inhibit 5α-reductase, helping treat conditions like enlarged prostate and hair loss.

Some new progesterone derivatives are better at blocking testosterone conversion than a common drug.

DA-9401 helps protect rat testis from finasteride damage.

Finasteride helps reduce heart enlargement in heart failure patients.

Zinc is essential for many body functions and imbalances can lead to health problems.

Testosterone pellet therapy may better address hormone imbalances in aging by focusing on local hormone production and symptom relief.

Bioprinting could greatly improve health outcomes but faces challenges like material choice and ensuring long-term survival of printed tissues.

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.

Sex hormones affect reproduction, sexual development, and oral health, and it's important for dental practitioners to understand their effects and interactions.

A substance called prostaglandin D2 is linked to stopping hair growth in men with common baldness.

New nonsteroidal molecules can potentially increase dihydrotestosterone in neurons by blocking certain enzymes, without affecting prostate and seminal vesicle weight.

Androstanediol glucuronide is a reliable marker for hirsutism in women.

Finasteride affects frog testes by increasing testosterone, decreasing 5α-DHT, and impacting genes related to reproduction and other functions.

Cernitin™, a pollen extract, was found to significantly reduce pain and inflammation in rats with chronic prostatitis, suggesting it could be a useful alternative to certain anti-inflammatory drugs.

Carthamus oxyacantha may help treat BPH by inhibiting 5α-reductase.

New steroidal compounds could be effective for treating conditions related to 5α-reductase enzyme activity.

Keratins are crucial for cell stability, wound healing, and cancer diagnosis.

The ZIP7 gene helps control zinc levels in cells by moving zinc from the Golgi apparatus to the cytoplasm.

Epigenetic changes control how adult stem cells work and can lead to diseases like cancer if they go wrong.

Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.

PAK4 is crucial in cancer progression, brain development, and could be a therapeutic target, especially through the PAK4-CREB axis.

Inactive hair follicle stem cells help prevent skin cancer.

TGFβ's manipulation of inflammation and immune cells affects cancer spread, suggesting new treatment strategies and biomarkers.

Researchers developed a mouse model that successfully mimics the bladder damage seen in humans after radiation therapy.

Some stem cells in the body rarely divide, which could help create better treatments for diseases and aging.

Post-finasteride syndrome causes lasting sexual, neurological, and physical side effects in some people after taking finasteride.

Certain microRNAs found in normal cells can effectively suppress various cancers.

The more lipophilic the progesterone derivative, the better it binds to androgen receptors and has antiandrogenic effects.
