    GlossaryAndrogen Signaling

    process where male hormones bind to cell receptors

    Androgen signaling refers to the process by which androgens, which are male hormones like testosterone, bind to specific receptors in cells to regulate various biological functions. This signaling pathway is crucial for the development and maintenance of male characteristics, but it also plays a role in conditions like androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss) by affecting hair follicle health and growth.
