Establishment of SV40T-Transformed Human Dermal Papilla Cells and Identification of Dihydrotestosterone-Regulated Genes by cDNA Microarray

research Establishment of SV40T-Transformed Human Dermal Papilla Cells and Identification of Dihydrotestosterone-Regulated Genes by cDNA Microarray

13 citations , June 2007 in “Journal of Dermatological Science”

This study identified several genes regulated by dihydrotestosterone in an SV40T-transformed human dermal papilla cell line, which may play a role in androgen-mediated hair growth regulation.

research Molecular Mechanisms of Androgenetic Alopecia

229 citations , August 2002 in “Experimental Gerontology”

This paper discusses key mechanisms of androgen metabolism in androgenetic alopecia and reports the effectiveness of treatments like oral finasteride and topical minoxidil, highlighting the limited success rate due to factors like follicular inflammation.

research Molecular Basis of Androgen Insensitivity

309 citations , June 2001 in “Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology”

Mutations in the androgen receptor gene cause androgen insensitivity, leading to female traits in genetically male individuals.

research Treatment of Androgen Excess in Females: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow

9 citations , January 1997 in “Gynecological Endocrinology”

This review discusses the regulation of hair growth, causes of excessive androgen secretion, and current safe solutions for hyperandrogenism manifestations in women but reports no new clinical results.
