    TLDR The research identified genes and non-coding RNAs in cells that could be affected by testosterone, which may help understand hair loss and prostate cancer.
    The study aimed to identify genes affected by testosterone signaling in dermal papilla cells (DPCs), which could help understand androgenetic alopecia (AGA). The researchers found that the androgen receptor (AR) is suppressed in human DPCs. After introducing AR into DPCs, they found that the expression of caveolin-1 is suppressed in AR-expressing DPCs, but recovers after dihydroxy testosterone (DHT) treatment. The study identified 27 downregulated genes and 130 upregulated genes as potential candidates for downstream genes of AR signaling pathways. The study also identified 168 differentially expressed non-coding RNAs, which could control gene expression. The data sets could be useful for studying the effect of AR signaling on prostate cancers and AGA.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

      Natural remedies to treat hair loss, such as polyphenols, apple peel extract, grape seed extract, green tea extract, peppermint oil, pumpkin seed oil, apigenin, Ginkgo biloba, red clover extract, olive leaf extract, Ecklonia Cava and Grateloupia elliptica. In addition, terpenes, carotenoids, and tocopherols were discussed as potential treatments.

      Hair loss varies due to genetic sensitivity to DHT and other factors. Treatments discussed include finasteride, minoxidil, RU58841, and microneedling.
