Rat skin takes up and processes testosterone differently than other organs, with testosterone being more important for the skin than its metabolite 5α-DHT.

Dihydrotestosterone specifically binds to hamster sebaceous glands, with a higher affinity than testosterone.

Finasteride has different absorption and metabolism in male and female rats, with higher concentrations in certain organs and mostly excreted through feces.

Sheep wool follicles can metabolize both glucose and acetate using different pathways important for wool growth.

Topical tacalcitol can treat psoriasis by acting directly on skin cells.

Minoxidil boosts hair growth by undergoing a process in hair follicles and certain skin cells, and by increasing the production of compounds essential for hair growth and maintenance.

Minoxidil absorbs poorly through skin, with low risk of side effects at 1-2% concentration.

Human platelets change minoxidil to minoxidil sulfate, helping blood vessels widen.

OCT binds strongly to hair sheath cells and may affect skin and hair growth with fewer side effects than vitamin D3.

Testosterone conversion to 5α-DHT may not be essential for its effects on the skin.

Minoxidil controls blood pressure effectively, but may cause side effects like hypertrichosis.

Cyproterone acetate is effective for treating hirsutism and acne but less so for hair loss, with side effects similar to birth control pills.

Minoxidil slows down keratinocyte growth without being toxic.

Hair absorbs different substances from solutions based on pH levels.

Scientists created iodinated arylhydantoins and arylthiohydantoins that could potentially be used for imaging prostate cancer. Some versions with specific side-chains showed high potential for this use.

Oral itraconazole effectively reaches and treats deep skin layers in guinea pigs.

People with hair loss have more androgen receptors and enzymes in certain follicles, with men and women showing different patterns.

Myo-inositol supplements may improve insulin sensitivity and help with conditions like PCOS and gestational diabetes, but more research is needed.

The Endocrine Society advised against routine testosterone therapy for women, citing a need for more research on long-term safety and a clear definition of androgen deficiency.

Platelet-rich plasma can potentially promote hair growth by stimulating cell growth and increasing certain proteins.

Mutations in the SRD5A3 gene cause a new type of glycosylation disorder by blocking the production of a molecule necessary for protein glycosylation.

Cells from balding scalps have more androgen receptors than cells from non-balding scalps.

Minoxidil and finasteride treat hair loss in men, while minoxidil treats hair loss in women.

Sebocytes play a key role in controlling androgen levels in human skin.

Different animals have unique versions of the enzyme that changes testosterone into another hormone, which is important for creating effective treatments for prostate and hair loss conditions.

Pectin biosynthesis is essential for the growth of cotton fibers and Arabidopsis root hairs.

Chitosan nanofiber scaffolds improve skin healing and are promising for wound treatment.

Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.

Researchers developed promising agents for prostate cancer imaging, with the best one showing high potential for clinical use.
