New steroid compounds effectively inhibit 5α-reductase and may treat hair loss.

New treatments for enlarged prostate are being developed, some of which may be more effective than current medications.

Researchers developed a model to predict how well certain compounds can block an enzyme related to hair loss and prostate issues, suggesting a 50 mg dose of finasteride might be effective based on lab and body data.
