research Tissue-Selective Regulation of Androgen-Responsive Genes
The same hormone can affect gene expression differently in various tissues, which could lead to new treatments for conditions like hair loss.
research Decision letter: Human biallelic MFN2 mutations induce mitochondrial dysfunction, upper body adipose hyperplasia, and suppression of leptin expression
MFN2 mutations cause mitochondrial problems, unusual fat distribution, and low leptin despite high body fat.
research Cardiac and Renal SARS-CoV-2 Viral Entry Protein Regulation by Androgens and Diet: Implications for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and COVID-19
Androgens and a high-fat diet may increase the risk of severe COVID-19 in women with PCOS by upregulating certain proteins in the heart and kidneys.
research The vitamin D receptor functions as a transcription regulator in the absence of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3
The vitamin D receptor can regulate genes and affect hair and hormone levels without its usual activator.
research Biology of estrogens in skin: implications for skin aging

Finasteride can cause gynecomastia, which may be reversible by stopping the drug and using selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) like tamoxifen. Lifestyle changes such as weight loss and avoiding alcohol can also help, but surgery may be needed if the condition persists.
community New and Interesting HairLoss Studies/Papers/Reviews
Hair loss treatments discussed include Dutasteride with Ketoconazole, tissue engineering strategies, and androgenetic alopecia therapies. Massage doubles follicular retention, improving treatment effectiveness.
community We need actual hair loss studies on Epristeride
Epristeride is a selective 5 alpha reductase type 2 inhibitor that may reduce scalp DHT similarly to finasteride, with potentially fewer side effects. It is suggested that combining epristeride with finasteride or dutasteride could enhance hair loss treatment effectiveness.
community PP405 - A True Breakthrough or Another Disappointment?
PP405 shows potential for hair growth, with 31% of advanced balding men experiencing over 20% increase in hair density in 8 weeks. However, skepticism persists due to selective data presentation and lack of long-term results, with comparisons to treatments like minoxidil and finasteride.
community Dermatologist told me to quit fin after turning 40
A dermatologist advised a patient to stop taking finasteride (fin) after turning 40 due to potential risk of aggressive prostate cancer. The patient and others in the conversation debated this advice, discussing the relationship between finasteride, prostate cancer, and hair loss, and considering alternatives like topical finasteride.
