research Bad Hair Day: Testosterone and Wnt Signaling
Testosterone can both promote hair growth and cause baldness by affecting hair growth signals.
research The Evolutionary Impact of Androgen Levels on Prostate Cancer in a Multi-Scale Mathematical Model
Low androgen levels might delay prostate cancer but could lead to more aggressive, therapy-resistant cancers.
research The Interplay Between Finasteride-Induced Androgen Imbalance, Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress, Oxidative Stress, and Liver Disorders in Paternal and Filial Generation
Finasteride in male rats causes liver and metabolic issues in their offspring.
research Expression of mRNA for Androgen Receptor, 5α-Reductase, and 17β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
Hair sensitivity to androgens is partly controlled by specific enzyme expressions in different hair areas.
research Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase (17β-HSD3, 17β-HSD5, and 3α-HSD3) Inhibitors: Extragonadal Regulation of Intracellular Sex Steroid Hormone Levels
Certain inhibitors can potentially treat prostate cancer and other hormone-dependent conditions by controlling sex hormone levels in cells.
research What Does Acne Genetics Teach Us About Disease Pathogenesis?
Acne is significantly influenced by genetics, and understanding its genetic basis could lead to better, targeted treatments.
research Androgen Modulation of Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling in Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgens may block hair growth signals, targeting this could treat hair loss.
research Androgen Antagonists in Androgen Target Tissues
Antiandrogens have important biological effects, but more research is needed to understand them fully and compare their effectiveness and side effects to other treatments.
research 5α-Reductase Inhibitors: The Finasteride Story
Finasteride safely treats enlarged prostate and male-pattern baldness.
research From Gene to Therapy in Spinal and Bulbar Muscular Atrophy: Are We There Yet?
Effective treatments for spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy are not yet available; more research is needed.
research Perspectives of Kennedy's Disease
Kennedy's disease leads to muscle weakness and sensory issues, has no cure but manageable symptoms, and future treatments look promising.
research Acne and Systemic Disease
Hormones, especially androgens, play a key role in acne, which can be a symptom of systemic diseases like PCOS and may require targeted treatment.
research Stauntonia Hexaphylla Extract Ameliorates Androgenic Alopecia by Inhibiting Androgen Signaling in Testosterone-Induced Alopecia Mice
Stauntonia hexaphylla extract can help treat hair loss by blocking certain hormones.
research Hormonal Treatment of Acne Vulgaris: An Update
Hormonal treatments are effective for severe or persistent acne and should be used with other acne therapies, considering potential side effects.
research HSD3B1 Genotypes Conferring Adrenal-Restrictive and Adrenal-Permissive Phenotypes in Prostate Cancer and Beyond
Certain HSD3B1 gene types are linked to worse prostate cancer outcomes and affect treatment response and other health conditions.
research Development of Fluridil, a Topical Suppressor of the Androgen Receptor in Androgenetic Alopecia
Fluridil promotes hair growth safely and effectively for androgenetic alopecia.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research An Updated Etiology of Hair Loss and the New Cosmeceutical Paradigm in Therapy: Clearing the Big Eight Strikes
New treatments for hair loss should target eight main causes and use specific plant compounds and peptides for better results.
