A new mutation in the Hairless gene causes hair loss in two Pakistani families.
research Response to Letter Regarding Androgen Receptor PolyQ Alleles and COVID-19
The authors maintain that shorter androgen receptor alleles may lead to milder COVID-19 by positively affecting the immune response, not due to changes in testosterone levels or activity.
research Androgen Receptor Gene Polymorphisms and Risk for Androgenetic Alopecia: A Meta-Analysis
G allele of AR Stul polymorphism linked to higher hair loss risk, especially in white people.
research Follicular Cell Implantation: An Emerging Cell Therapy for Hair Loss

research Molecular Targeted Therapies for Cancer: Sorafenib Monotherapy and Its Combination with Other Therapies
Sorafenib helps some advanced cancers alone or with other treatments, but not all, and research continues to improve its use.
research Managing Dermatologic Effects of Gender-Affirming Therapy in Transgender Adolescents
Gender-affirming therapy can cause skin issues like acne and hair loss in transgender adolescents, and more research is needed on its dermatological effects.
research Activation of Extrasynaptic δ-GABAA Receptors Globally or Within the Posterior VTA Has Estrous-Dependent Effects on Alcohol Consumption and Estrous-Independent Effects on Locomotion
δ-GABAA receptors affect alcohol consumption based on the estrous cycle and influence movement regardless of the cycle.
research The Evolutionary Impact of Androgen Levels on Prostate Cancer in a Multi-Scale Mathematical Model
Low androgen levels might delay prostate cancer but could lead to more aggressive, therapy-resistant cancers.
research Additive In Vivo Growth-Inhibitory Effects of Flutamide and Finasteride on Androgen-Sensitive Shionogi 115 Carcinoma
Combining flutamide and finasteride can reduce prostate weight and tumor growth, potentially benefiting treatments needing optimal DHT inhibition.
