5 / 1000+ results research Molecular interactions of progesterone derivatives with 5α-reductase types 1 and 2 and androgen receptors
This study found that specific steroids, particularly 5 and 7b, decreased growth of prostate and seminal vesicles and bound to the androgen receptor, showing comparable pharmacological activity to finasteride.
research Interaction between estrogens and androgen receptor genes microsatellites, prostate-specific antigen and androgen receptor expressions in breast cancer
In this study, researchers found that shorter CA repeats in the ERbeta gene are correlated with PSA expression, and PSA immunoexpression is associated with increased disease-free survival in breast cancer.
research Intermolecular NH 2 -/Carboxyl-terminal Interactions in Androgen Receptor Dimerization Revealed by Mutations That Cause Androgen Insensitivity
This study suggests that residues Val-889 and Arg-752 in the androgen receptor's steroid binding domain are crucial for NH2-/carboxyl-terminal interaction, affecting receptor stability and function.
research Role of Androgen in Mesenchymal Epithelial Interactions in Human Hair Follicle
This study found that in vitro, beard dermal papilla cells stimulated keratinocyte proliferation via androgen-dependent growth factors, while androgenetic alopecia cells released TGF-β1, inhibiting keratinocyte growth.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Research: Minoxidil grows hair by suppressing androgen activity (DHT) in hair follicles.
Minoxidil may suppress androgen activity in hair follicles, potentially aiding in hair growth and prostate cancer treatment. Users discuss the effectiveness of minoxidil and finasteride for hair maintenance and regrowth, with some preferring topical applications over oral due to safety concerns.
community Study: There is 70x Higher Unconjugated DHT in Feces Compared To Blood Levels in Young Adults - Gut Microbiota Manages DHT Recycling and Metabolism
Gut microbiota significantly influences androgen metabolism, impacting hair loss treatments like finasteride. Probiotics, dietary changes, and fecal microbiota transplants may help manage DHT levels and improve hair health.
community Breezula phase 3 results said to be released next month
Breezula's phase 3 results are expected soon, with discussions on the effectiveness of androgen receptor antagonists like spironolactone and the potential of GT20029. Users express skepticism about new treatments and discuss the complexities of male pattern baldness, often relying on finasteride despite its side effects.
community End of Hair loss ( AGA ) ? Since they produce it in china probably we don’t need to wait other 10 yrs😁
GT20029 is a new hair loss treatment in Phase 3 trials in China, using PROTAC technology to target androgen receptors, potentially with fewer side effects than finasteride and minoxidil. VDPHL01, a second-generation minoxidil, is also mentioned as potentially more effective.
community Most Promising Future Hair Loss Treatments In 2026
Promising hair loss treatments in 2026 include GT20029, a topical androgen receptor degrader, and VDPHL01, an extended-release oral minoxidil, both offering safer alternatives with fewer side effects. Other treatments like sublingual minoxidil, OND-1, JW0061, TDM-105795, and AMP-303 are also being explored.
