research Clinical dose ranging studies with finasteride, a type 2 5α-reductase inhibitor, in men with male pattern hair loss
Finasteride effectively treats male pattern hair loss with a 1 mg daily dose.
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.
research Therapy and Antifungal Susceptibility Profile of Microsporum canis
Terbinafine and itraconazole are more effective against Microsporum canis than fluconazole and griseofulvin.
research Normal Fur Development and Sebum Production Depends on Fatty Acid 2-Hydroxylase Expression in Sebaceous Glands

Special immune cells called Tregs can help prevent lung scarring by blocking a specific growth factor.
research Doping-Control Analysis of the 5α-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride: Determination of Its Influence on Urinary Steroid Profiles and Detection of Its Major Urinary Metabolite
Finasteride affects urinary steroid profiles and can potentially hide steroid abuse in sports drug testing.
research Finasteride-associated male infertility
Finasteride may cause male infertility, stopping it can help.
research Assessment of the usefulness of dihydrotestosterone in the diagnostics of patients with androgenetic alopecia
DHT's role in hair loss is important, but measuring its level for diagnosis is questionable.
research Side Effects of 5‐Alpha Reductase Inhibitors: A Comprehensive Review
5-alpha reductase inhibitors slightly increase the risk of sexual and mood side effects, and breast growth in men.
research Treatment strategies for alopecia
Some treatments work for common baldness, but there's less evidence for other hair loss types, and more research is 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 Understanding and Addressing Hair Disorders in Transgender Individuals
Hormone therapy affects hair growth in transgender individuals, with testosterone potentially causing hair loss in trans men and estrogen reducing facial/body hair in trans women; treatment options vary.
research Epidermal Polarity Genes in Health and Disease
Disruptions in epidermal polarity genes can lead to skin diseases.
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 Skin organoids: A new human model for developmental and translational research
Skin organoids are a promising new model for studying human skin development and testing treatments.
research Enhanced remyelination during late pregnancy: involvement of the GABAergic system
Late pregnancy helps repair brain damage in rats due to the GABAergic system.
research New approaches to the treatment of osteoporosis
Future osteoporosis treatments should focus on increasing bone growth, with many promising options available.
research Altered brain and pituitary androgen metabolism by prenatal, perinatal or pre- and postnatal finasteride, flutamide or dihydrotestosterone treatment in juvenile male rats
Treatment during development affects hormone balance and sexual behavior in male rats.
research Psychodermatology
Many skin patients also have mental health issues, and doctors should treat both together.
research Expression of steroidogenic enzymes in human sebaceous glands
Human sebaceous glands contain enzymes that affect androgen production and may influence sebum production and acne.
research Genome-wide association study of skin complex diseases
Genetic variants linked to ten skin diseases were found, showing both immune and non-immune factors play a role.
research Perception of Hair Transplant for Androgenetic Alopecia
Hair transplants make people look more attractive, successful, approachable, and younger.
research A Review of Hand-Held, Home-Use Cosmetic Laser and Light Devices

research Progesterone-induced stimulation of mammary tumorigenesis is due to the progesterone metabolite, 5α-dihydroprogesterone (5αP) and can be suppressed by the 5α-reductase inhibitor, finasteride
Progesterone byproduct 5αP stimulates mammary tumor growth, but finasteride can suppress it.
research Characterization of Novel Cutaneous Human Papillomavirus Genotypes HPV-150 and HPV-151
HPV-150 and HPV-151 are rare skin viruses linked to warts and some skin cancers.
research Androgenic and anti-androgenic effects of progesterone derivatives with different halogens as substituents at the C-6 position
Different halogens on progesterone derivatives can either block or mimic male hormone effects, depending on their type and amount.
