research Table 2
Androgen suppression therapy (AST) doesn't significantly lower bladder cancer risk, but using finasteride, a type of AST, might decrease the risk. AST also lessens the chance of cancer coming back but doesn't really affect survival rates. More research is needed to understand AST's benefits for different bladder cancers.
research Effect of P144 (Anti-TGF-β) in an In Vivo Human Hypertrophic Scar Model in Nude Mice
P144® improves hypertrophic scars by reducing size and thickness and increasing elasticity.
research Table 1
Androgen suppression therapy (AST) doesn't significantly lower bladder cancer risk, but using finasteride, a type of AST, might reduce it. AST decreases recurrence-free survival but doesn't affect overall survival or progression-free survival. More research is needed to understand AST's benefits.
research Sex Hormones in SARS-CoV-2 Susceptibility: Key Players or Confounders?
Sex hormones' effects on COVID-19 are unclear and more research is needed to understand their potential as treatment.
research Triton Modified Polyethyleneimine Conjugates Assembled With Growth Arrest-Specific Protein 6 for Androgenetic Alopecia Transdermal Gene Therapy
The treatment effectively promotes hair regrowth in androgenetic alopecia without causing skin irritation.
research In Vitro Main Pathways of Steroid Action in Cultured Hair Follicle Cells: Vascular Approach
Steroids, particularly estrogens and 5α-reductase inhibitors, affect blood vessel-related hair growth processes in hair follicle cells.
research Estrogen and Androgen Signaling in the Pathogenesis of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Hormonal interactions, especially involving DHT and estrogen, play a key role in BPH development and treatment.
research Cutaneous Side Effects of Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy
