DHT in the human prostate is produced through multiple pathways, not just from testosterone.
research Modulation of Hair Growth Promoting Effect by Natural Products
Natural products like plant extracts can help promote hair growth and could be used to treat hair loss.
research The Biology and Genomics of Human Hair Follicles: A Focus on Androgenetic Alopecia
Hair loss in Androgenetic Alopecia is caused by genetics, aging, and lifestyle, leading to hair follicle shrinkage and related health risks.
research A Platform for Determining Medicinal Plants with Targeted 17β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Modulation for Possible Hair Loss Prevention
The conclusion is that new plant-based treatments for hair loss may work by targeting certain enzymes.
research Bioactive Compound-Loaded Nanocarriers for Hair Growth Promotion: Current Status and Future Perspectives

research Proceedings of the Ninth World Congress for Hair Research 2015
The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
research Three-Month Treatment With a Long-Acting Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Agonist of Patients With Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: Effects on Tissue Androgen Concentration, 5α-Reductase Activity and Androgen Receptor Content
A three-month treatment with a GnRH agonist significantly lowered androgen levels and 5α-reductase activity in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research Hair Follicle Stem Cell Replication Stress Drives IFI16/STING-Dependent Inflammation in Hidradenitis Suppurativa
Stress in hair follicle stem cells causes inflammation in a chronic skin condition through a specific immune response pathway.
research Androgen Receptor in Rat Liver: Characterization and Separation from a Male-Specific Estrogen-Binding Protein
Male rats have androgen receptors in their liver, which are different from proteins that bind estrogen.
research Novel TMEM173 Mutation and the Role of Disease-Modifying Alleles
