research Anti-Proliferative Effect of Terpenes on Human Prostate Cancer Cells: Natural Sources and Their Potential Role as Chemopreventive Agents
Certain natural compounds called terpenes may help prevent prostate cancer.
research Guava Leaf Extract as Bioactive Substances for Anti-Androgen and Antioxidant Activities
Guava leaf extract may help treat hair loss and protect cells by blocking certain genes and fighting damaging molecules.
research Intracrine Androgen Biosynthesis, Metabolism, and Action Revisited
The document concludes that blocking the internal pathways that create androgens might help treat cancers that depend on sex hormones.
research Inhibition of the Androgen Receptor by Antisense Oligonucleotides Regulates the Biological Activity of Androgens in SZ95 Sebocytes
Blocking the androgen receptor in skin cells reduces their growth response to male hormones, suggesting a possible treatment for skin conditions linked to androgens.
research An Update on Plant-Derived Anti-Androgens
Some plant-derived compounds may help with hormonal conditions, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness.
research Recent Advances in the Chemistry and Pharmacological Activity of New Steroidal Antiandrogens and 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
New compounds show promise for treating hair loss, enlarged prostate, and prostate cancer, with some being more effective and having different side effects than current treatments.
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 Androgen Receptor Transactivity Is Potentiated by TGF-β1 Through Smad3 but Checked by Its Coactivator Hic-5/ARA55 in Balding Dermal Papilla Cells
TGF-β1 increases androgen receptor activity in hair loss, but Hic-5/ARA55 can counter this effect.
research Identification of Anabolic Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators with Reduced Activities in Reproductive Tissues and Sebaceous Glands
Two new compounds were found to build bone and muscle without affecting reproductive organs and skin oil glands.
research Molecular Basis of Androgenetic Alopecia: From Androgen to Paracrine Mediators Through Dermal Papilla
Male pattern baldness involves hormones and cell signals affecting hair growth.
research Androgen-Inducible TGF-β1 from Balding Dermal Papilla Cells Inhibits Epithelial Cell Growth: A Clue to Understanding Paradoxical Effects of Androgen on Human Hair Growth
Androgens may cause hair loss by increasing TGF-beta1 from scalp cells, which inhibits hair cell growth.
research Hair Follicle Stem Cell Differentiation Is Inhibited Through Cross-Talk Between Wnt/β-Catenin and Androgen Signaling in Dermal Papilla Cells From Patients With Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgens block hair growth by disrupting cell signals; targeting GSK-3 may help treat hair loss.
research Androgen Receptor: A Promising Therapeutic Target in Breast Cancer
The androgen receptor is a promising target for breast cancer treatment, especially in triple-negative cases, but more research is needed for personalized therapies.
research Preventive and Therapeutic Efficacy of Finasteride and Dutasteride in TRAMP Mice
Dutasteride works better than finasteride for preventing and treating prostate cancer.
research Multiple Readout Assay for Hormonal (Androgenic and Antiandrogenic) and Cytotoxic Activity of Plant and Fungal Extracts Based on Differential Prostate Cancer Cell Line Behavior
The study created a test that found hormonal and toxic effects in plant and fungal extracts using prostate cancer cells.
research Hair, Hormones, and High-Risk Prostate Cancer
Men with a certain baldness pattern at age 40-50 may have a higher risk of aggressive prostate cancer.
research Inhibitors of 5α-Reductase Type I in LNCaP Cells from the Roots of Angelica Koreana
Compounds from Angelica koreana roots, especially osthenol, could be effective for treating conditions like prostate disease and hair loss.

Proxalutamide significantly lowered hospital admissions for male COVID-19 patients compared to a placebo.
research Differences in Expression of Specific Biomarkers Distinguish Human Beard from Scalp Dermal Papilla Cells
Beard and scalp hair cells have different gene expressions, which may affect beard growth characteristics.
research Rooster Feathering, Androgenic Alopecia, And Hormone-Dependent Tumor Growth: What Is In Common?
Sex hormones affect hair and feather growth and may help manage alopecia and hormone-dependent cancers.
research The Role of Androgen and Androgen Receptor in Skin-Related Disorders
Targeting androgen receptors could be a promising way to treat skin disorders with fewer side effects.
