This study investigated the epigenetic effects of finasteride on reproductive signaling pathways using Sertoli cell models and found that finasteride exposure led to altered epigenetic profiles in multiple genes, including ESR1 and DNMT3A, indicating potential impacts on reproductive-related pathways.
This literature review highlights recent advancements in hair follicle regeneration techniques, noting the potential of combining stem cell technology, 3D bioprinting, and epigenetic modulation to create precision therapies. However, it emphasizes ongoing challenges such as achieving long-term viability and scalability for clinical application.
This study suggests that finasteride may upregulate BTG2 and CD244 gene expression through differential methylation, indicating potential as a treatment avenue for medulloblastoma.
May 2022 in “The FASEB Journal” This experimental study suggests that finasteride may reduce Lymphocyte Specific Protein 1 gene expression through methylation in human Leydig cells, potentially offering a pathway for treating Neutrophil Actin Dysfunction.
January 2025 in “Scholarly Commons (University of Pennsylvania)” This study found that the X-linked gene UTX is crucial for regulating skin differentiation and inflammation in females by affecting retinoic acid signaling, also highlighting potential links to sex disparities in skin diseases.
