This commentary discusses how common latent viruses might contribute to male-pattern baldness through mechanisms involving transcription factor deficiency and overexpression of specific proteins, based on a concept called microcompetition; it reports no new research results.

Methylated gene parts may cause finasteride-resistance in some enlarged prostate patients.

This review describes the roles of 5α-reductase isozymes in prostate development and pathology and reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses low-level light therapy for androgenetic alopecia and female pattern hair loss, noting minimal clinical evidence on its efficacy and the need for more controlled studies.

This review highlights the challenges in screening for steroid 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors and discusses significant variability in the effectiveness of finasteride and dutasteride, calling for standardized testing methods to develop safer, more specific inhibitors from herbal preparations.

This study found that sulforaphane may help alleviate hair loss by increasing hair count after 18 weeks of use and enhancing the expression of a DHT-degrading enzyme in cellular models.

This article reviews advances in feather development and regeneration, including pattern formation, stem cell biology, and evolution, but presents no new experimental results.

This article reviews major types of genetic hair shaft defects and associated syndromes, emphasizing understanding histologic features and diagnostic methods, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that stem cells derived from spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy patients exhibited reduced androgen receptor levels and HDAC6, providing potential insights into the disease mechanism for future therapies.

In this study, transgenic male mice over-expressing the androgen receptor in mesenchymal stem cells showed reduced fat mass and improved glucose clearance, suggesting enhanced androgen sensitivity may alter body composition.

This article reviews the complexities and challenges in classifying systemic lupus erythematosus and the problematic role of the anti-dsDNA antibody as a biomarker, without presenting new experimental findings.

This study found that both finasteride and dutasteride significantly reduced L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia in a rat model of Parkinson's disease, with dutasteride showing greater effectiveness at lower doses.

This article discusses various skin pattern formations, their molecular mechanisms, and highlights the need for further understanding to connect molecular biology with organism phenotypes, without providing new clinical findings.

In this study, herbal extracts commonly used in traditional medicine were observed to significantly increase the proliferation of human dermal papilla cells, suggesting potential as alternative therapies for enhancing hair growth.

This study found that biallelic LSS mutations lead to congenital hypotrichosis and cataracts, with each tissue-specific loss of function observed in mouse models.

This study found that androgen signaling has complex effects on bone formation in male AR3.6-transgenic mice, with varying impacts based on the embryonic lineage of cells.

This study found that GI198745 acts as a time-dependent inhibitor of rat 5α-reductase type 2 but a rapid-equilibrium inhibitor of type 1, potentially making it more effective than finasteride in preventing rat prostate growth.

This study evaluated curcumin analogues as potential inhibitors of 17β-HSD3 in rat and human models, but it does not report new clinical findings.
