research The role of hair follicles and Edar signalling in cutaneous wound healing
Activating the Eda/Edar pathway improves wound healing by enhancing hair follicle growth.
research Regulation of pathophysiological and tissue regenerative functions of MSCs mediated via the WNT signaling pathway (Review)
The WNT signaling pathway is crucial for mesenchymal stem cells' function and therapy success.
research Chapter 17. Selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs)
Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs) are drugs that can control the effects of androgens in different tissues, potentially having fewer side effects and promising for treating various conditions.
research New Biomarkers to Evaluate Hyperandrogenemic Women and Hypogonadal Men
The document concludes that hormonal biomarkers are key for diagnosing hyperandrogenemia in women and hypogonadism in men.
research Embryonic-like regenerative phenomenon: wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis
New hair can grow from large wounds in mice, but less so as they age, involving reprogramming of skin cells and specific molecular pathways.
research Bisphenol-A antagonizes the rapidly modulating effect of DHT on spinogenesis and long-term potentiation of hippocampal neurons
Bisphenol-A (BPA) increases connections between brain cells and boosts their activity, but it blocks the effects of a male hormone on brain cell plasticity.
research The 5-alpha reductase inhibitor finasteride reduces dyskinesia in a rat model of Parkinson’s disease
Finasteride reduces movement issues in Parkinson's disease rats.
research Acyl-CoA binding protein and epidermal barrier function
ACBP is essential for healthy skin and fur by maintaining the skin's barrier function.
research Preparation of 4-aryl-2-trifluoromethylbenzonitrile derivatives as androgen receptor antagonists for topical suppression of sebum production
Scientists made a chemical (compound 4e) that can be applied on skin to reduce oil production, which can help with acne, but it might cause skin sensitivity to light.

research In Silico Screening of DrugBank Compounds as Potential Inhibitors for Human Steroid 5α-Reductase 2 for Androgen-Related Diseases
Stiripentol shows promise as a potential treatment for androgen-related diseases but needs more testing.
research Androgen Receptor Antagonists (Antiandrogens) Structure-Activity Relationships
Antiandrogens like flutamide are effective in treating conditions like prostate cancer and hair loss, but there's a need for more potent versions. Understanding their structure can help develop better treatments.
research Ancient-modern concordance in Ayurvedic plants: some examples.
Modern science supports the use of some Ayurvedic plants for health, as ancient practices suggested.
research A role of melatonin in neuroectodermal‐mesodermal interactions: the hair follicle synthesizes melatonin and expresses functional melatonin receptors
Hair follicles produce and respond to melatonin, affecting hair growth and sensitivity to estrogen.
research Revising the role of the androgen receptor in breast cancer
The document concludes that targeting the androgen receptor may be a promising breast cancer treatment, especially for certain types.
research Male sex hormones, aging, and inflammation
Adequate testosterone is crucial for men's health and quality of life, but its decline with age needs more research.
research Mitoxantrone
Mitoxantrone with a corticosteroid helps manage symptoms for some advanced prostate cancer patients but doesn't extend life.
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 Alleviation of Multidrug Resistance by Flavonoid and Non-Flavonoid Compounds in Breast, Lung, Colorectal and Prostate Cancer

research Treatment of female sexual dysfunction in postmenopausal women—What is the evidence?
Hormonal changes and psychological issues can cause sexual dysfunction in postmenopausal women. Behavioral therapy is recommended first, with hormone replacement helping some symptoms but not libido. Testosterone can improve libido, but its effects on overall sexual function are unclear. Emotional and relationship issues should be addressed before using medication, and the benefits and risks of testosterone supplementation should be considered.
