research Androgen Receptor Mutations and Polymorphisms in African American Prostate Cancer

23 citations , January 2014 in “International Journal of Biological Sciences”

This study found that African American men with prostate cancer have higher rates of somatic and germline androgen receptor mutations than Caucasian American men, which may contribute to ethnic differences in disease progression and outcomes.

research Novel Missense Mutation in the P-Box of Androgen Receptor in a Patient with Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome

3 citations , January 2008 in “Endocrine journal”

In this case report, the authors describe a partial androgen insensitivity syndrome patient with a novel AR gene mutation, highlighting challenges in gender assignment decisions for infants with partial AIS.

research Cutaneous Lymphadenoma Is a Distinct Trichoblastoma-like Lymphoepithelial Tumor With Diffuse Androgen Receptor Immunoreactivity, Notch1 Ligand in Reed-Sternberg–like Cells, and Common EGFR Somatic Mutations

4 citations , May 2021 in “The American Journal of Surgical Pathology”

This study suggests that cutaneous lymphadenoma is a distinct benign lymphoepithelial tumor characterized by androgen receptor expression, hair follicle stem cell markers, and common EGFR gene mutations.

research A Novel Androgen Receptor Gene Mutation in a 46,XY Patient: Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome

1 citations , August 2015 in “AACE Clinical Case Reports”

This case report identifies a novel AR gene mutation in an adolescent with primary amenorrhea, suggesting that CAIS should be considered when evaluating patients with a female phenotype and breast development.

research Different phenotypes in a family with androgen insensitivity caused by the same M780I point mutation in the androgen receptor gene.

78 citations , August 1996 in “The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism”

This study reports that the same androgen receptor gene mutation within a family can lead to both complete and partial androgen insensitivity syndromes, suggesting that genetic defects alone may not predict clinical phenotype.

community How much faith do you have in Kintor?

18 upvotes 4 years ago

KX-826 is a potential hair loss treatment, with users discussing its effectiveness compared to finasteride and concerns about its trial results. Some users express skepticism about new treatments, while others discuss the potential of androgen receptor degraders and the need to manage drug resistance.

community Prolactin the Cause of Hair Loss? ABS-201 the Cure?

29 upvotes 2 months ago

Prolactin may contribute to hair loss, but targeting its receptor won't cure androgenetic alopecia. ABS-201 could be a useful alternative or adjuvant therapy, similar to JAK inhibitors, but not more effective than HMI-115.

community How a follicle next to it is so genetically different that it never miniaturized??

in Chat 219 upvotes 1 year ago

Genetic differences in hair follicles affect hair loss patterns. Treatments discussed include finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841.

community Is anyone taking creatine while on fin and/or dut?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 33 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation discusses the use of creatine while on finasteride and/or dutasteride for hair loss. Opinions vary, with some users reporting no issues and others experiencing accelerated hair loss, suggesting effects are individual.

community So many horror stories about switching from fin to dut

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 58 upvotes 7 months ago

Switching from finasteride to dutasteride can cause initial shedding, but many see long-term hair regrowth and stabilization. Responses vary, with some experiencing fewer side effects and others finding it less effective.

learn GT20029

research compound made to degrade androgen receptors in scalp

What is GT20029 and how does it work as a topical anti-androgen for hair loss? GT20029 is a topical anti-androgen that degrades androgen receptors to combat hair loss.

learn Cyproterone

a synthetic anti-androgen and weak progestogen that inhibits DHT binding to androgen receptor

learn Clascoterone

a novel topical treatment that inhibits DHT on androgen receptors

learn Fluridil

How is Fluridil different from other DHT blockers like finasteride? Fluridil is a topical androgen-receptor blocker applied to the scalp, while finasteride is an oral 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that lowers DHT throughout the body. Finasteride is FDA-approved and far better studied; Fluridil rests on one 43-man trial and is not licensed as a hair-loss medicine, so its long-term safety and effect size are unknown.

learn Bicalutamide

Can bicalutamide stop DHT from shrinking your hair follicles? Bicalutamide blocks androgens at the receptor rather than lowering DHT, and some dermatologists prescribe it off-label for women with pattern hair loss. The published evidence is retrospective case series and one small pilot study, with no randomized trial; it is a prescription drug that requires liver monitoring and is contraindicated in pregnancy.

learn KX-826

Kintor Pharmaceutical: KX-826, a New Name in Hair Loss Research KX-826 (pyrilutamide) is an experimental topical androgen receptor blocker from Kintor Pharmaceutical. It is not approved as a medicine anywhere; the company reports that its China Phase III trial met its primary endpoint at 24 weeks, but the trial data has been released through corporate announcements rather than peer-reviewed journals and long-term safety is unknown.

learn Exosomes

What does Fluridil do on the scalp, and how does it block the DHT hormone? Fluridil blocks DHT by binding to androgen receptors in hair follicles, preventing hair loss.

learn Pyrilutamide

highly targeted anti-androgen that might have minimal systemic effects
