research Stem cell quiescence acts as a tumour suppressor in squamous tumours
Inactive hair follicle stem cells help prevent skin cancer.
research Alopecia
The document concludes that alopecia has significant social and psychological effects, leading to a market for hair loss treatments.
research Differential expression of steroid 5α-reductase isozymes and association with disease severity and angiogenic genes predict their biological role in prostate cancer
SRD5A1 is crucial in advanced prostate cancer, and blocking both SRD5A1 and SRD5A2 is more effective than targeting SRD5A2 alone.
research The evolutionary impact of androgen levels on prostate cancer in a multi-scale mathematical model
Low androgen levels might delay prostate cancer but could lead to more aggressive, therapy-resistant cancers.
research Ezetimibe Reduces Enlarged Prostate in an Animal Model of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Ezetimibe effectively reduces prostate size in cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research Endocrine treatment of benign prostatichypertrophy: Current concepts
New hormonal treatments for enlarged prostate show promise for safer, effective non-surgical options.
research The prostaglandin synthases, COX-2 and L-PGDS, mediate prostate hyperplasia induced by low-dose bisphenol A
Low-dose bisphenol A increases prostate size in rats by affecting certain enzymes.
research Role of 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors in the management of prostate cancer
5 alpha-reductase inhibitors like finasteride may lower prostate cancer risk and improve cancer screening.
research Finasteride
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate, shrinks it, improves urination, but may cause sexual dysfunction and isn't for women or children.
research The Cutaneous Epidermal Growth Factor Network: Can it be Translated Clinically to Stimulate Hair Growth?
Understanding EGFR roles could lead to new hair loss treatments.
research The Cutaneous Epidermal Growth Factor Network: Can it be Translated Clinically to Stimulate Hair Growth? - eScholarship
Manipulating EGFR signaling may help treat hair loss and promote hair growth.
research α-spinasterol from Melandrium firmum attenuates benign prostatic hyperplasia in a rat model
α-spinasterol from Melandrium firmum can help reduce prostate enlargement.
research Treatment of hirsutism with the pure antiandrogen flutamide
Flutamide effectively reduced excessive hair growth and improved related symptoms in hirsutism patients without significant side effects.
research New Therapeutic Approach to the Hirsute Patient
Spironolactone can reduce hair growth in women with hirsutism.
research 5α‐Reductase Inhibitors
Finasteride effectively treats enlarged prostate and male baldness, improves symptoms of hirsutism in women, but doesn't work for acne, and may delay prostate cancer progression with few side effects.
research Deciphering the function of canonical Wnt signals in development and disease: conditional loss- and gain-of-function mutations of β-catenin in mice
Wnt signaling is vital for cell growth, development, and cancer research.
research A New Look at the 5?-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate and hair loss, but may cause side effects in some patients.
research The TFIID subunit TAF4 regulates keratinocyte proliferation and has cell-autonomous and non-cell-autonomous tumour suppressor activity in mouse epidermis
TAF4 is important for skin cell growth and helps prevent skin cancer in mice.
research Lack of a gonadal or adrenal androgenic mechanism for the hypertrichosis produced by diazoxide, phenytoin and minoxidil
These drugs cause hair growth without affecting testosterone or adrenal hormones.
research Hormonal regulation in male androgenetic alopecia—Sex hormones and beyond: Evidence from recent genetic studies
Hormones and genes affect hair growth and male baldness.
research A comparative study of Aldactone® and Diane® in the treatment of hirsutism
Aldactone was more effective in reducing hair growth in women with hirsutism than Diane, despite having less impact on hormone levels.
research The effects of benzodiazepines on hormones in women with idiopathic hirsutism
Benzodiazepines changed hormone levels but did not affect hair growth in women with idiopathic hirsutism.
research Inhibitory Effects of Serenoa repens on the Kinetic of Pig Prostatic Microsomal 5α-Reductase Activity
Saw palmetto extract can block the enzyme that converts testosterone in pig prostate cells.

Four new compounds were more effective than finasteride in treating prostate issues and hair loss, with one being 100 times more active and safe for use.
research Lack of effect of spironolactone on hair shaft diameter in hirsute females
Spironolactone did not make hair thinner in women with excess hair growth.
research The Metabolism and Control Mechanism of Human Hair Follicles
Human hair follicles have a unique metabolism that changes between growth stages and may contribute to baldness.
research PNU 157706, a novel dual type I and II5α-reductase inhibitor
PNU 157706 is a more effective treatment than finasteride for conditions caused by DHT, like enlarged prostate and hair loss.
