Dutasteride, usually used for prostate issues and hair loss, could potentially treat Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) due to its neuroprotective, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties, but more testing is needed.

Dutasteride and finasteride cause kidney damage, with dutasteride being more harmful.

Neurosteroids help regulate oxytocin levels, especially during stress and pregnancy, to protect against premature labor.

Environmental factors and chemicals might affect hormone balance and contribute to common hair loss.

5 alpha-reductase inhibitors like finasteride may lower prostate cancer risk and improve cancer screening.

Different types of RNAs are found in varying amounts in patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, suggesting they could be important in the disease's development and potentially used as disease markers.

Plant-based compounds might be effective, low-side-effect treatments for prostate cancer by blocking a specific enzyme.

Some people experience lasting sexual, psychological, and sleep problems after using finasteride or SSRI antidepressants, possibly due to similar underlying causes.

Activating c-Myc in skin causes rapid cell growth and changes, but these effects are reversible.

Localized heat or specific injections can prevent chemotherapy-induced hair loss without affecting cancer treatment.

Testosterone can help premenopausal and postmenopausal women with low sexual desire, but its long-term safety is unclear and it's not widely approved for this use.

Certain natural and synthetic compounds may help treat inflammatory skin diseases by targeting a specific signaling pathway.

Androgens like testosterone may help treat traumatic brain injury by reducing mitochondrial stress and inflammation.

Plant-based compounds might be a promising alternative for prostate cancer treatment with fewer side effects.

Enzymes called PADIs play a key role in hair growth and loss.

SCD1 is important for hair growth by keeping the connection in skin cells where hair stem cells live stable.

A boy's hair that was frizzy and hard to comb returned to normal after 9 months, possibly due to genetic factors.

5-alpha reductase inhibitors may help protect the brain and gut in Parkinson's disease.

Combination pharmacotherapy is generally more effective for treating keloids and hypertrophic scars.

Finasteride treatment in rats changed the expression of genes related to psychiatric and neurological functions, and these changes persisted after stopping the drug.

Metformin lowers prolactin in women without PCOS but not in those with PCOS, where it reduces other hormones instead.

RNA editing significantly affects hair growth and follicle cycling in the Tianzhu white yak.

The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.

Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.

No link found between specific genes and female pattern hair loss.

DHEA affects various tissues by interacting with multiple receptors and can be converted into sex hormones.

The androgen receptor's shape-changing ability helps it function but can lead to cancer treatment resistance.

A brain-produced steroid causes increased scratching in mice with a skin condition similar to eczema.

Many potential alopecia treatments need more testing to confirm they promote acceptable hair growth with minimal side effects.

The document discusses various skin disorders and new therapeutic approaches.
