Dihydrotestosterone causes p27 protein breakdown in ovarian and breast cancer cells by binding with SKP2.
research New 5α-Reductase Inhibitors: In Vitro and In Vivo Effects
Four new compounds were more effective than finasteride in treating prostate issues and hair loss, with one being 100 times more active and safe for use.
research Androgen Action in the Ovary
Androgens are important for normal ovarian function and estrogen production, but may not be the main cause of follicle death.
research Allopregnanolone Alters the Gene Expression Profile of Human Glioblastoma Cells
Allopregnanolone changes gene expression in glioblastoma cells.
research Gene Expression of Type 2 17β Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase in Scalp Hairs of Hirsute Women
Hirsute women have lower type 2 17β-HSD enzyme levels, which improve with treatment.
research Recent Advances in the Chemistry and Pharmacological Activity of New Steroidal Antiandrogens and 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
New compounds show promise for treating hair loss, enlarged prostate, and prostate cancer, with some being more effective and having different side effects than current treatments.
research Immune-Mediated Diseases of the Central Nervous System
The document explains the difficulty in diagnosing and treating brain diseases caused by the immune system and stresses the need for quick and accurate tests.

The JAK/STAT pathway is important in cell processes and disease, and JAK inhibitors are promising for treating related conditions.
research Regulation of Masculinization: Androgen Signaling for External Genitalia Development
Male genital development is driven by androgen signaling and understanding it could help address congenital anomalies.
research Novel Insights Into the Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Generalized Glucocorticoid Resistance and Hypersensitivity Syndromes
Genetic defects in the glucocorticoid receptor gene can cause conditions with abnormal sensitivity to stress hormones, and other factors may also affect this sensitivity.
research Hyperandrogenism in Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and Role of CYP Gene Variants: A Review
Certain gene variants may contribute to high androgen levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research CAG Polymorphism in the Androgen Receptor Gene in Women May Be Associated with Nodulocystic Acne
Certain gene variations might be linked to severe acne in women but not in men.
research Antiepileptogenic Effects of Trilostane in the Kainic Acid Model of Temporal Lobe Epilepsy
Trilostane may help delay epilepsy development by increasing certain brain chemicals.
research Adipose-Derived Stem Cell Exosomes Antagonize the Inhibitory Effect of Dihydrotestosterone on Hair Follicle Growth by Activating Wnt/Beta-Catenin Pathway
Substances from fat-derived stem cells can promote hair growth and counteract hormone-related hair loss by activating a key hair growth pathway.
