    GlossaryAndrogen Pathway

    process by which androgens influence cellular functions and characteristics

    The androgen pathway involves the process by which androgens, a group of hormones like testosterone, interact with cells in the body. These hormones bind to androgen receptors, influencing various biological functions such as hair growth, muscle development, and the regulation of male characteristics. In the context of hair, this pathway can affect hair follicle health and is often linked to conditions like androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness).
