August 2018 in “Clinical Chemistry” This study determined that a total testosterone concentration of ≥5.1 nmol/L identified androgen-producing tumors in women with severe hyperandrogenemia, while a lower threshold of ≥2.2 nmol/L was found for diagnosing pathologic hyperandrogenism in postmenopausal women.
March 2026 in “Drug Testing and Analysis” This study observed that the degradation product PTeCA significantly increased in hair treated with oxidative cosmetics, suggesting it could be a reliable marker for detecting such treatments, with a proposed PTCA cut-off value using PTeCA as the gold standard.
August 2024 in “Biomolecules & Therapeutics” In this study, the researchers reported that a newly developed PYGL inhibitor, HTPI, enhanced hair growth in an ex-vivo culture by reducing oxidative damage in hDPCs and inhibiting glycogen degradation in hORSCs, showing potential as a treatment for hair loss comparable to minoxidil.

January 2026 in “Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (CCLM)” This study reported high analytical performance of an RMP for DHT quantification, with the ability to differentiate between 5α-DHT and 5β-DHT isomers, making it suitable for routine assay standardization and clinical sample evaluation.
11 citations
,
December 2002 in “Controlled Clinical Trials” This study suggests that simple absolute threshold monitoring rules for compliance using the biomarker DHT perform similarly to more complex methods in the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial.

6 citations
,
June 2016 in “Journal of cellular biochemistry” This study found that the mammalian Hr protein can interact with the p53 pathway by binding to a specific p53 response element, influencing the regulation of genes involved in cell cycle control.
7 citations
,
March 2012 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study presents evidence that specific thymus-derived peptides affect human hair follicle growth, identifying thymulin as a potential hair growth stimulator despite interindividual response variations.
