research Therapeutic Strategies for Treating Hair Loss
The conclusion is that we need more effective hair loss treatments than the current ones, and these could include new drugs, gene and stem cell therapy, hormones, and scalp cooling, but they all need thorough safety testing.
research Progressive Expression of PPARGC1α Is Associated with Hair Miniaturization in Androgenetic Alopecia
Increased PPARGC1α relates to hair thinning in common baldness.
research Revising the Role of the Androgen Receptor in Breast Cancer
The document concludes that targeting the androgen receptor may be a promising breast cancer treatment, especially for certain types.
research A Newly Discovered Linkage Between Proteoglycans and Hair Biology: Decorin Acts as an Anagen Inducer
Decorin, a protein, may help start hair growth and could be used to treat hair loss.
research Testicular Steroidogenesis: Production and Regulation of Testosterone and Dihydrotestosterone
Genetic defects in testosterone production can cause hormonal and developmental disorders, and more research is needed to understand androgen regulation and develop safer treatments.
research Androgen Signaling Regulates SARS-CoV-2 Receptor Levels and Is Associated with Severe COVID-19 Symptoms in Men
Male hormones affect COVID-19 severity and certain drugs targeting these hormones could help reduce the risk.
research Minoxidil May Suppress Androgen Receptor-Related Functions
Minoxidil can reduce functions related to androgen receptors.
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 Late Unexpected Consequences of COVID-19 Infection in Survivors of Acute Hypoxic Respiratory Failure
After severe COVID-19, 71% of patients experienced excessive hair shedding and thinning within 3 months due to factors like low oxygen levels, medication, stress, and autoimmune disease.
research Global Trends in Research of Androgen Receptor Associated With Breast Cancer From 2011 to 2020: A Scientometric Analysis
Research from 2011 to 2020 shows androgen receptors could be key for prognosis and treatment in certain breast cancers.
research Molecular Genetic and Endocrine Mechanisms of Hair Growth
Hormones and their receptors, especially androgens, play a key role in hair growth and disorders like baldness.
research Sexual Hormones in Human Skin
Human skin makes sexual hormones that affect hair growth, skin health, and healing; too much can cause acne and hair loss, while treatments can manage these conditions.
research Antiandrogenic Activity of Riboflavin 5′-Phosphate (FMN) in 22Rv1 and LNCaP Human Prostate Cancer Cell Lines
Riboflavin 5′-phosphate (FMN) shows potential for treating androgen-related conditions but may be limited in treating prostate cancer.
research The Distribution of Estrogen Receptor Beta Is Distinct to That of Estrogen Receptor Alpha and the Androgen Receptor in Human Skin and the Pilosebaceous Unit
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).
research Hair Thickness Growth Effect of Adenosine Complex in Male and Female Patterned Hair Loss via Inhibition of Androgen Receptor Signaling
Adenosine complex helps increase hair thickness and density in hair loss.
research Naturally Occurring Hair Growth Peptide: Water-Soluble Chicken Egg Yolk Peptides Stimulate Hair Growth Through Induction of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Production
Chicken egg yolk peptides can promote hair growth by increasing a specific growth factor.
research Androgen Receptor-Mediated Inhibition of Cutaneous Wound Healing
Lowering testosterone speeds up wound healing in male mice.
research Sex Differences in SARS-CoV-2 Infection Rates and the Potential Link to Prostate Cancer
Men, especially older ones with health issues like prostate cancer, may have worse COVID-19 outcomes and could benefit from therapies targeting male hormones.
research Androgen Excess: A Hallmark of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Excess androgens may cause PCOS, not just be a symptom.
research Roles of Steroid Receptors in the Lung and COVID-19
Sex hormones may influence COVID-19 severity, with males at higher risk, and certain hormone therapies could potentially treat the virus.
research Body Composition Changes and Inhibition of Fat Development In Vivo Implicate Androgen in Regulation of Stem Cell Lineage Allocation
Androgen is important in controlling stem cell differentiation, reducing fat development, and increasing lean mass.
research Triclocarban, Triclosan, Bromochlorophene, Chlorophene, and Climbazole Effects on Nuclear Receptors: An In Silico and In Vitro Study
Five preservatives may disrupt hormone function and need more health and environmental risk assessment.
research The Androgen Receptor and Its Use in Biological Assays: Looking Toward Effect-Based Testing and Its Applications
Scientists have developed a new method to detect steroid abuse in athletes using cell-based tests, which could be the future of anti-doping methods.
research Androgens Trigger Different Growth Responses in Genetically Identical Human Hair Follicles in Organ Culture Reflecting Their Epigenetic Diversity in Life
Male hormones cause different growth in identical human hair follicles due to their unique epigenetic characteristics.
research Intracrine and Myotrophic Roles of 5α-Reductase and Androgens
Muscles can make their own androgens, which may help muscle growth.
research Safety of Antiandrogens for the Treatment of Female Androgenetic Alopecia with Respect to Gynecologic Malignancies
Spironolactone is safe for treating female hair loss, but the safety of other drugs is uncertain.
research Negative Impact of Testosterone Deficiency and 5α-Reductase Inhibitors Therapy on Metabolic and Sexual Function in Men
