The Androgen Receptor could be a target for treating diseases like cancer, but more research is needed to confirm the effectiveness of potential treatments.

Anti-androgen therapy might help protect against COVID-19 infection and reduce death risk.

The document describes a treatment for excessive hair growth in a teenage girl using medication and birth control, but does not report the results.

Androgen receptors are key for development and health, affecting conditions like prostate cancer and male pattern baldness.

The drug enzalutamide may reduce the ability of the virus causing COVID-19 to enter lung cells.

Targeting CXCL12 may help treat hair loss caused by androgens.

Flutamide, an antiandrogen, has minimal impact on female rat endocrine systems and does not significantly change their reproductive cycles.

Triple Hormonal Blockade (ADT3) can effectively manage prostate cancer but requires careful monitoring for heart risks.

Testosterone helps beard and axillary hair cells grow by releasing growth factors from dermal papilla cells.

Testosterone increases hair follicle cell growth when beard or axillary skin cells are present together.

Two new compounds can block androgen receptor activity in different ways and may lead to new treatments for androgen-related diseases.

The substance MK386 effectively blocked testosterone conversion and reduced cell growth in certain skin cells, but inhibiting 5α-reductase alone may not greatly improve acne.

Prolactin and TGF-β receptor blockers might help treat hair loss.

The human sebocyte culture model has improved understanding of oily skin and acne, and how they can be treated.

Dihydrotestosterone increases the activity of an enzyme in pubic skin cells that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone.

Bolandiol, a synthetic steroid, builds muscle and bone without greatly affecting sex glands, and works differently from other hormones.

The conclusion is that small hair follicles cause baldness in macaques, and treatments like antiandrogens and minoxidil can prevent hair loss and promote regrowth.

The chemicals 17βC and its methyl ester can block the effects of testosterone on hamster skin but not the effects of DHT.

Bisphenol-A (BPA) increases connections between brain cells and boosts their activity, but it blocks the effects of a male hormone on brain cell plasticity.

Dihydrotestosterone increases growth and spread of human brain cancer cells, and blocking its formation might help treat this cancer.

Prostaglandin D2 increases testosterone production in skin cells through a process involving reactive oxygen species, which could be a new target for treating hair loss and other skin conditions driven by testosterone.

In 1981, the punch graft technique was the main method for hair transplantation, and medical treatments for baldness were not very effective.

Androgen receptor activity blocks Wnt/β-catenin signaling, affecting hair growth and skin cell balance.

Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.

Sebocytes play a key role in controlling androgen levels in human skin.

Male hormones affect COVID-19 severity and certain drugs targeting these hormones could help reduce the risk.

Estrogen Receptor ß (ERß) is the main hormone controller in human skin and hair follicles, not Estrogen Receptor α (ERα) or the Androgen Receptor (AR).

Androgens block hair growth by disrupting cell signals; targeting GSK-3 may help treat hair loss.
