This study found that compounds 21–23 and 25 exhibited strong 5α-reductase II inhibition in vitro and significantly reduced rat prostate weight, performing comparably to finasteride.

In this study, researchers found that the deletion of Tet2/3 enzymes in mice led to changes in skin development and hair follicle differentiation, ultimately causing hair loss and altered gene expression.

This study found that the absence of the stress-responsive protein Sesn2 increased hair cell susceptibility to gentamicin in the inner ear, indicating Sesn2's potential protective role against aminoglycoside-induced damage.

This study demonstrated that Reverse Protein Engineering can decrease the size of Firefly Luciferase from 550 to less than 80 amino acids, but further research is needed to ensure these smaller peptides retain bioluminescent activity.

In this study, PEVIII, a nanocomposite chitosan-coated vesicle containing both α-hederin and hederacoside C, demonstrated notable antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a keratitis model, showing significant lesion reduction, tissue improvement, and decreased bacterial load and inflammatory markers compared to other treatments.

This study assessed the environmental impact of the drug finasteride on Daphnia magna, finding that both acute and chronic exposure impaired development and reproduction, affected gene expression and metabolism, and altered lipid profiles, highlighting the need to understand pharmaceutical impacts on aquatic ecosystems.

This study found that at least four different human sulfotransferase activities contribute to the sulfation of minoxidil, complicating predictions of individual responses based on ST levels.

This study found that Cathepsin E plays a crucial role in keratinocyte terminal differentiation, affecting epidermis formation and homeostasis in mice.

This study found that PNU 157706 is a highly potent inhibitor of human 5α-reductase enzymes, showing a stronger and longer-lasting antiprostatic effect in rats compared to finasteride.

This study found that sebaceous glands predominantly exhibit oxidative activity of the type 2 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase isozyme, which is not inhibited by 13-cis retinoic acid.

This study found that regenerating the Pd/C finasteride synthesis catalyst using methanol extraction and nitric acid oxidation achieved a pregnendone conversion of 97.5%.

The researchers reported that both estrogen receptors ERα and ERβ are expressed in human testis, and identified two novel genes, Aven and Regucalcin, linked to estrogen and androgen regulation, which may be crucial for spermatogenesis.

This study evaluated novel steroid compounds for their ability to inhibit 5α-reductase, showing that compound 16a significantly reduced rat prostate weight more than epristeride and exhibited excellent in vitro inhibitory potency, indicating its potential as a lead candidate for further benign prostatic hyperplasia drug research.

This study found that the ablation of Esrp1 and Esrp2 disrupts epithelial tight junctions by affecting Arhgef11 isoform expressions, highlighting a potential mechanistic link between splicing alterations and epithelial barrier defects.

In this study, researchers purified and cloned rat peptidylarginine deiminase type III, demonstrating its activity and specific expression in the epidermis and hair follicles.

In this study, EPC-K, a compound with antioxidant and moisturizing effects, was found to decompose significantly under certain conditions, impacting its stability in quasi drug hair-growing products.

This study found that EP 2 signaling is crucial for macrophage recruitment and inflammatory regulation in the injured heart, impacting cardiac repair processes.

This paper discusses the role of steroid sulfatase in hormone-dependent tumors and highlights the development of potent inhibitors, noting the commencement of a phase I trial for one inhibitor in postmenopausal breast cancer patients.

This study observed that different alkaline buffers had a significant impact on the volume of liquid consumed by fall armyworm larvae, emphasizing the importance of measuring imbibed volumes to reduce dose errors in bioassays.

This study found that astrotactin-2 undergoes unique intramembrane proteolysis during maturation, revealing specific transmembrane topologies and substrate sequence requirements for cleavage.

This study investigated various compounds inhibiting testosterone 5alpha-reductase for potential treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia, finding that heparin and progesterone demonstrated inhibitory effects under specific conditions.

In this study, 4-substituted N-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-3-oxo-4-androstene-17.beta.-carboxamides were synthesized and evaluated in vitro as potential 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors and antiandrogens.

In this study, dutasteride more effectively reduced prostate cancer cell viability than finasteride in vitro, but did not significantly alter the angiogenic response.

In this study, EDA-A2 transgenic mice exhibited multifocal myodegeneration dependent on XEDAR, suggesting a potential role for XEDAR in skeletal muscle homeostasis.

This study found that antisense oligonucleotides can significantly reduce androgen receptor expression in cultured human sebocytes and may offer new therapeutic possibilities for androgen-associated skin diseases.

This study found that a new deoxycholic acid derivative may offer a similar prostatoprotective effect to finasteride with lower toxicity in rat models.

In a cell-free test setting, this study found that a novel saw palmetto extract effectively inhibited the 5α-reductase type II enzyme, showing promising bioactivity comparable to finasteride for promoting prostate health.

This study found that the water extract of Bituminaria bituminosa demonstrated the highest antioxidant activity and α-glucosidase inhibition among tested extracts, but no cholinesterase or tyrosinase inhibition.

Keratin can be successfully taken from human hair using a mix of choline chloride and ethanolamine.
