research Is the Comb Over Dying? A Mouse Model for Male Pattern Baldness (Androgenic Alopecia)
The mouse model suggests male pattern baldness may be due to an enzyme increasing DHT and higher androgen receptor levels in hair follicles.
research Planning for Maximum Coverage in Surgical Hair Restoration
Walter P. Unger suggests using advanced hair transplant techniques for broader coverage, as they provide natural results and use donor tissue efficiently, while also recommending personalized planning due to the unpredictable progression of baldness.
research Moxibustion Improves Ovarian Function Based on the Regulation of the Androgen Balance
Moxibustion may help improve ovarian function by changing androgen levels.
research TMPRSS2, Required for SARS-CoV-2 Entry, Is Downregulated in Lung Cells by Enzalutamide, a Prostate Cancer Therapeutic
A prostate cancer drug can lower the levels of a protein that the coronavirus uses to enter lung cells.
research Male-Pattern Baldness, Common Latent Viruses, and Microcompetition
Common latent viruses might contribute to male-pattern baldness by disrupting cell processes that normally suppress hair loss-related proteins.
research Genetic and Hormonal Influence on SARS-CoV-2 Infection Susceptibility
Men may be more vulnerable to severe COVID-19 due to genetic and hormonal factors, but more research is needed.
research Lack of Concordance and Linkage Disequilibrium Among Brothers for Androgenetic Alopecia and CAG/GGC Haplotypes of the Androgen Receptor Gene in Mexican Families
No clear link between specific gene and hair loss in Mexican brothers.
research Abstract P5-09-21: Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs): Enobosarm as Targeted Therapy for the Treatment of Androgen Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer
Enobosarm may effectively treat androgen receptor-positive breast cancer with fewer side effects.
research Kelulut Honey Regulates Sex Steroid Receptors in a Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Rat Model
Kelulut Honey can help regulate sex hormone receptors in rats with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, similar to common medications.
research Organizational Effects of Estrogens and Androgens on Estrogen and Androgen Receptor Expression in Pituitary and Adrenal Glands in Adult Male and Female Rats
Early hormones shape sex-specific differences in rat glands.
research Allosteric Interactions Prime Androgen Receptor Dimerization And Activation
Certain interactions help prepare the androgen receptor for pairing and activation, which is important for its role in development and disease.
research Transcriptome Analysis to Identify the Downstream Genes of Androgen Receptor in Dermal Papilla Cells
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.
research Androgens and Androgen Receptor in the Management of Skin Diseases
Understanding how androgens and their receptors work can lead to improved treatments for skin diseases.
research Disruptors of Androgen Action and Synthesis
Certain pesticides and fungicides can interfere with male hormone functions, potentially causing reproductive issues in male rats.
research The Expressions of Androgen Receptors and Estrogen Receptors in Bald and Non-Bald Areas of Androgenic Alopecia
Hair loss in androgenic alopecia may be linked to increased local androgen activities, but not to estrogen levels.
research Development of Radioiodinated Nonsteroidal Androgen Receptor Ligands for SPECT Imaging of Prostate Cancer
Scientists at the University of Michigan Medical School successfully created a special compound that can be used to improve imaging of prostate cancer.
research Significance of RU58841 as a Therapeutic Agent Affecting Androgen Receptor Molecular Interactions in Human Hair Follicles
RU58841, a substance from France, can potentially block the effects of hormones that cause hair loss and excessive hair growth, performing better than a similar substance, cyproterone acetate.
research Development and Validation of Androgen-Induced Hair Loss and Anagen Induction Mouse Models for Pharmacological Evaluation of Anti-Androgenic Agents
The mouse models are effective for testing new hair loss treatments.
research The Potential of Androgenic Alopecia Management from Plant Derivatives
Plant extracts like Avicennia marina, Boehmeria nipononivea, and Camellia sinensis could potentially treat hair loss with fewer side effects than synthetic drugs.
research Novel Androgen Receptor Gene Variant Containing a Premature Termination Codon in a Patient with Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome
A new genetic change causing early stop in the androgen receptor gene was found in a patient with androgen insensitivity syndrome.
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 Probing Androgen Receptor Co-Factor Selectivity Profiles: A Chemical Tool to Determine Cross-Talk Between Androgen Receptor and Beta-Catenin In Vivo
PF-05314882 selectively activates androgen receptors without much effect on prostate and may help in prostate cancer treatment and hair loss prevention.
research Molecular Interactions of Natural and Synthetic Steroids in Female Hamsters’ Flank Organs
Testosterone, progesterone, and levonorgestrel change enzyme levels related to fat production in hamster skin, which could affect skin oil and acne.
research Understanding Androgenetic Alopecia: Continuing Medical Education
The document concludes that androgenetic alopecia is common, has a genetic link, and can be diagnosed and treated with medications like finasteride and minoxidil.
