Creating stronger blockers for skin enzymes might lead to better treatment for conditions like acne and excessive hair growth.
research Microneedles mediated bioinspired lipid nanocarriers for targeted treatment of alopecia
A new hair loss treatment uses tiny needles to deliver a drug-loaded lipid carrier, promoting hair growth more effectively than current treatments.
research Inhibitory activities of some traditional Chinese herbs against testosterone 5α-reductase and effects of Cacumen platycladi on hair re-growth in testosterone-treated mice
Certain Chinese herbs, especially Cacumen platycladi, can promote hair regrowth and reduce hair loss-related hormone levels in mice.
research 5α-Reductase isozymes and aromatase mRNA levels in plucked hair from young women with female pattern hair loss
Higher enzyme levels found in women with hair loss, suggesting hormone imbalance.
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 5‐Alpha reductase inhibitors in androgenetic alopecia: Shifting paradigms, current concepts, comparative efficacy, and safety
Dutasteride works better than finasteride for hair loss, with both being safe to use.
research Dihydrotestosterone Induces Proliferation, Migration, and Invasion of Human Glioblastoma Cell Lines
Dihydrotestosterone increases growth and spread of human brain cancer cells, and blocking its formation might help treat this cancer.
research A Teenage Girl with Unexpected Pubertal Changes
The girl's unexpected pubic hair growth led to a diagnosis different from complete androgen insensitivity syndrome.
research Molecular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Advances in Androgenetic Alopecia
Current treatments for androgenetic alopecia have limitations, and personalized approaches and new methods are needed for better results.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: update on Etiology, Pathophysiology, Diagnosis and Treatment
Androgenetic alopecia is influenced by various factors and can be treated with medications, procedures, and non-drug methods.
research Herbal Extracts Induce Dermal Papilla Cell Proliferation of Human Hair Follicles
Herbal extracts may help hair grow and could be an alternative to synthetic hair loss treatments.
research DHT and E2 synthesis-related proteins and receptors expression in male yak skin during different hair follicle stages
Male yak hair growth is influenced by DHT synthesis, which is promoted by 5α-red1 and AR during growth phases, while E2 may inhibit growth through ERα.
research Intratumoral De Novo Steroid Synthesis Activates Androgen Receptor in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer and Is Upregulated by Treatment with CYP17A1 Inhibitors
Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.
research Androgen Signaling Regulates SARS-CoV-2 Receptor Levels and Is Associated with Severe COVID-19 Symptoms in Men
Male hormones affect COVID-19 severity and certain drugs targeting these hormones could help reduce the risk.
research Advances in Regenerative Stem Cell Therapy in Androgenic Alopecia and Hair Loss: Wnt Pathway, Growth-Factor, and Mesenchymal Stem Cell Signaling Impact Analysis on Cell Growth and Hair Follicle Development
Stem cell therapy, particularly using certain types of cells, shows promise for treating hair loss by stimulating hair growth and development, but more extensive trials are needed to confirm these findings.
research Androgen excess: Investigations and management
The conclusion is that managing androgen excess requires long-term treatment, including hormonal contraceptives and androgen blockers, with follow-up after six months.
research Diagnosis of hyperandrogenism: Biochemical criteria
The document concludes that accurate measurement of serum androgens is crucial for diagnosing hyperandrogenism.
research Review of Hair Follicle Dermal Papilla cells as in vitro screening model for hair growth
Dermal Papilla cells are a promising tool for evaluating hair growth treatments.
research Effects of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors on erectile function, sexual desire and ejaculation
5-alpha reductase inhibitors can cause sexual side effects like erectile dysfunction and reduced sexual desire, sometimes lasting after stopping the drug.
research Advanced nanocarrier- and microneedle-based transdermal drug delivery strategies for skin diseases treatment
Advanced nanocarrier and microneedle drug delivery methods are more effective, safer, and less invasive for treating skin diseases.
research Finasteride Inhibits Human Prostate Cancer Cell Invasion through MMP2 and MMP9 Downregulation
Finasteride may reduce prostate cancer spread by lowering certain enzyme levels.
