research 5α‐Reductase inhibitors and prostatic disease
5α-Reductase inhibitors can help treat hair loss, acne, and prostate issues by reducing DHT levels.
research Update on medical management of benign prostatic hyperplasia
Castration is preferred for non-breeding male dogs with BPH, but other treatments are available with specific pros and cons.
research Is COVID-19 a risk factor for progression of benign prostatic hyperplasia and exacerbation of its related symptoms?: a systematic review
COVID-19 might worsen symptoms and progression of benign prostatic hyperplasia, possibly due to inflammation and metabolic disturbances in the prostate gland. More research is needed to confirm this.

Different drugs for prostate-related urinary symptoms work but have various side effects, and treatment should be tailored to the individual.
research Effects of dihydrotestosterone on rat dermal papilla cells in vitro
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) doesn't affect rat skin cell growth, but it does change cell cycle, protein levels, and other cell functions, potentially shortening hair growth cycle.
research Finasteride for prostatic disease: an updated and comprehensive review
Finasteride helps treat prostate issues and may prevent prostate cancer in high-risk men.
research Regarding prostate-specific antigen: let's not shoot the messenger
The drugs finasteride and dutasteride reduce low-grade prostate cancers but may double the risk of high-grade cancers.
research Proliferating effect of extracts from woods and fungi on rat vibrissa dermal papilla cells
Some extracts from woods and fungi can promote hair growth better than a known hair growth substance.
research Hormonal prevention of prostate cancer
Suppressing certain hormones might help prevent prostate cancer.
research Species Differences in Prostatic Steroid 5α-Reductases of Rat, Dog, and Human
Different animals have unique versions of the enzyme that changes testosterone into another hormone, which is important for creating effective treatments for prostate and hair loss conditions.
research Steroidal 5α-reductase and 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase (CYP17) inhibitors useful in the treatment of prostatic diseases
Certain drugs that block specific enzymes can help treat prostate diseases.
research Corn silk extract improves benign prostatic hyperplasia in experimental rat model
Corn silk extract helps reduce prostate enlargement symptoms.
research Follicular Stem Cells in Androgenetic Alopecia

Epigenetic changes control how adult stem cells work and can lead to diseases like cancer if they go wrong.
research Sex differences in SARS-CoV-2 infection rates and the potential link to prostate cancer
Men, especially older ones with health issues like prostate cancer, may have worse COVID-19 outcomes and could benefit from therapies targeting male hormones.
research Hair follicle stem cell differentiation is inhibited through cross‐talk between Wnt/β‐catenin and androgen signalling in dermal papilla cells from patients with androgenetic alopecia
Androgens block hair growth by disrupting cell signals; targeting GSK-3 may help treat hair loss.
research Keratinocyte Growth Inhibition through the Modification of Wnt Signaling by Androgen in Balding Dermal Papilla Cells
Androgens slow hair growth by altering Wnt signaling in balding cells.
research Effect of 5α-Dihydrotestosterone and Testosterone on Apoptosis in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
High levels of testosterone and 5α-DHT can lead to cell death in cells important for hair growth.
research Lef1 Contributes to the Differentiation of Bulge Stem Cells by Nuclear Translocation and Cross-Talk with the Notch Signaling Pathway
