March 2015 in “PloS one” Scientists restored fertility in male mice lacking a key fertility gene by using a modified gene.
December 2023 in “Scientific Reports” Scientists created cell lines from balding patients and found that cells from the front of the scalp are more affected by hormones that cause hair loss than those from the back.
November 2022 in “Scientific Data” The research identified genes and non-coding RNAs in cells that could be affected by testosterone, which may help understand hair loss and prostate cancer.
Higher levels of heat shock protein 27 and lower levels of miR-1 can increase AR levels, leading to hair loss in men.
1 citations,
January 2022 in “BMC Genomic Data” The study found that androgen receptors in skin cells mainly affect the focal adhesion pathway and control the caveolin-1 gene, with implications for new treatments for related diseases.
January 2022 in “Figshare” Dexamethasone increases androgen receptor activity in scalp cells, which might explain stress-related hair loss.
6 citations,
January 2013 in “Genetics and Molecular Research” Women with hair loss have more androgen receptors in certain hair follicles.
1 citations,
May 2017 in “InTech eBooks” 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.
36 citations,
June 2014 in “PLOS ONE” Finasteride, a hair loss drug, may cause long-term sexual side effects due to changes in hormone receptor levels.
August 2023 in “Drug Design Development and Therapy” Minoxidil may work for hair loss by reducing androgen sensitivity and altering hormone-related enzymes.
1 citations,
November 2022 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” Kelulut Honey can help regulate sex hormone receptors in rats with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, similar to common medications.
56 citations,
November 2007 in “Molecular and cellular endocrinology” Two enzymes regulate androgen receptor activity, affecting treatments for androgen insufficiency and benign prostatic hyperplasia.
