Research
30 / 1000+ results research ERG induces androgen receptor-mediated regulation of SOX9 in prostate cancer
ERG increases SOX9, promoting prostate cancer growth and invasion.
research Redefining hormone resistance in prostate cancer
The conclusion suggests that prostate cancer should be classified by castration status and that new therapies targeting androgen receptor signaling show promise.
research The secret identities of TMPRSS2: Fertility factor, virus trafficker, inflammation moderator, prostate protector and tumor suppressor
TMPRSS2 helps viruses enter cells and protects the prostate from inflammation-related cancer.
research Are sex discordant outcomes in COVID-19 related to sex hormones?
Sex hormones may affect COVID-19 severity, with men often faring worse, and targeting related pathways could offer treatment options.
research Repurposing existing drugs for COVID-19: an endocrinology perspective
Existing drug dexamethasone may lower death risk in severe COVID-19 cases; more research needed for other drugs.
research Targeting host cell proteases as a potential treatment strategy to limit the spread of SARS‐CoV‐2 in the respiratory tract
Blocking enzymes that help the virus enter cells could be a promising way to treat COVID-19.
research From bedside to bench: regulation of host factors in SARS-CoV-2 infection
The conclusion is that certain genetic factors and blood types may affect COVID-19 severity, but changes in ACE2 and TMPRSS2 genes are not clearly linked to it.
research Analyzing the role of ACE2, AR, MX1 and TMPRSS2 genetic markers for COVID-19 severity
MX1 and AR genes are linked to milder COVID-19, while TMPRSS2 increases severe risk, especially in women.
research Non-canonical dimerization of the androgen receptor and other nuclear receptors: implications for human disease
Mutations in certain receptors can cause diseases and offer new treatment options.
research Are sex hormones promising candidates to explain sex disparities in the COVID-19 pandemic?
Sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone may affect COVID-19 severity differently in men and women, potentially influencing prevention and treatment strategies.
research Antiandrogens as Therapies for COVID-19: A Systematic Review
Antiandrogens don't help with COVID-19 and aren't recommended.
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 Associations between sun sensitive pigmentary genes and serum prostate specific antigen levels
Men with less sun-sensitive skin have lower PSA levels, while men with more sun-sensitive skin have higher PSA levels.
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 The impact of SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 on male reproduction and men’s health
COVID-19 might affect male fertility, but more research is needed to understand the full impact.
research Androgenetic alopecia and COVID ‐19: A review of the hypothetical role of androgens
Possible link between androgens and COVID-19 severity; more research needed.
