research Proceedings of the Ninth World Congress for Hair Research (2015)
The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
research Finasteride promotes worsening of the cardiac deleterious effects of nandrolone decanoate and protects against genotoxic and cytotoxic damage

research Targeting neurosteroid synthesis as a therapy for schizophrenia-related alterations induced by early psychosocial stress
A drug improved schizophrenia-like symptoms in stressed rats by changing brain steroid levels.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome and the differential diagnosis of hyperandrogenism
The document concludes that careful evaluation is needed to diagnose PCOS correctly due to similar symptoms in other conditions, and accurate testosterone level measurement is crucial.
research Adult Male Hypogonadism: A Laboratory Medicine Perspective on Its Diagnosis and Management
Accurate testosterone measurement and standardized lab practices are crucial for diagnosing and managing adult male hypogonadism.
research AKR1D1 regulates glucocorticoid availability and glucocorticoid receptor activation in human hepatoma cells
AKR1D1 controls glucocorticoid levels and receptor activity in liver cells.
research Revisiting hyper- and hypo-androgenism by tandem mass spectrometry
