research Interaction Between Estrogens and Androgen Receptor Genes Microsatellites, Prostate-Specific Antigen, and Androgen Receptor Expressions in Breast Cancer
Certain gene patterns in breast cancer are linked to how active hormone receptors are and could affect patient survival.
research Androgen Receptor Expression in Male Pattern Baldness Patients
Increased androgen receptor expression in certain hair follicle areas may cause male pattern baldness.
research A Study of the Androgen Receptor Gene Polymorphism and the Level of Expression of the Androgen Receptor in Androgenetic Alopecia Among Egyptians
The study suggests that a specific gene variation and higher gene activity are linked to increased baldness in Egyptian men.
research Regional Variation in Androgen Receptor Expression and Biomechanical Properties May Contribute to Cryptorchidism Susceptibility in the LE/Orl Rat
Differences in androgen receptor expression and tissue properties may lead to higher cryptorchidism risk in certain rats.
research Control of Androgen Receptor Expression in Human Keratinocytes and a Reconstituted Human Epidermis Model with Selective Antisense Oligonucleotides
Antisense oligonucleotides can reduce androgen receptor levels in skin cells, suggesting potential for treating skin disorders.

Fluridil may decrease the number of androgen receptors in hair follicles by up to 95%. This suggests a different action mechanism from other non-steroidal antiandrogens like RU58841, indicating they might be used together.
community A new study by Deng and colleagues set out to explore differences between balding and non balding scalps...
Balding scalps have more androgen receptors, leading to increased TGF-beta, which causes blood vessel loss and hair follicle miniaturization. Blocking androgen signaling and TGF-beta may help prevent hair loss.
community Fun thought experiment about halting hair loss permamently
A user proposed genetically engineering scalp stem cells to stop androgen receptors from causing hair loss. Others discussed the feasibility, existing research, and potential issues with this approach, including targeting the correct cells and unintended effects.
community Surprisingly thorough study on He-Shou-Wu/Fo Ti
He Shou Wu (Fo Ti) extract was found to prolong the hair growth phase, inhibit 5-alpha-reductase (like finasteride), reduce androgen receptors, and increase growth factors, potentially outperforming minoxidil in recovering hair follicle size after DHT exposure. Two compounds, emodin and TSG, are identified as responsible for these effects and warrant further investigation.
community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia
Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.
