A woman had both Graham Little-Piccardi-Lassueur syndrome, causing hair loss, and complete androgen insensitivity syndrome, making her genetically male but physically female. This suggests androgens don't affect the hair loss condition.

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.

No link found between new male baldness genes and female hair loss.

The engineered yeast strain BLYAS can quickly and sensitively detect androgenic chemicals.

Hormone therapy for transgender females increases the risk of blood clots and requires careful dosing, monitoring, and lifelong management.

Oxidative stress affects hair loss in men with androgenetic alopecia.

Antiandrogens and androgen inhibitors like spironolactone, finasteride, and dutasteride can treat hair loss and skin conditions, but they have risks and side effects, including potential harm to pregnant women and risks of cancer and heart issues. Herbal remedies also have antiandrogenic effects but lack safety validation.

Menopause significantly reduces skin collagen, leading to thinner, less elastic skin, and hormone replacement may help but requires careful consideration.

The document suggests that blocking sweat glands with antiperspirants might allow skin-generated hormones to be absorbed, possibly increasing breast and prostate cancer risk.

Flutamide and finasteride reduced sex hormones in pregnant hyenas, but increased them in males.

Some plant-based treatments may help with ovary function, insulin resistance, and excess male hormones in PCOS, but more research is needed to confirm their safety and effectiveness.

Diagnosing hyperandrogenism in women is complex and requires accurate testing methods and consideration of SHBG levels.

Researchers found an RNA transcript that might help control a growth factor linked to tumor development.

The research provides a gene-based framework for hair biology, highlighting the Hippo pathway's importance and suggesting links between hair disorders, cancer pathways, and the immune system.

The study found key factors in the cause of hidradenitis suppurativa, its link to other diseases, and identified existing drugs that could potentially treat it.

Minoxidil and finasteride effectively treat hair loss.

Hormone imbalance is linked to Hidradenitis Suppurativa, a skin condition, and treatments like anti-androgenic therapy and metformin can help. It's also suggested to check patients for insulin resistance and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.

New method measures female hair loss: Female Pattern Hair Loss Severity Index (FPHL-SI).

Molecular diagnostics help identify genetic defects causing endocrine diseases, improving diagnosis and treatment options.

Compound 4 is a promising treatment for hair loss with low toxicity.

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

Melatonin affects certain genes and pathways involved in cashmere goat hair growth.

Most Hairless gene mutations reduce its ability to work with the Vitamin D Receptor, which might explain a certain type of hair loss.

Gut microbes significantly affect brain steroid levels.

Reflectance confocal microscopy can tell apart white dots on the scalp as either sweat gland ducts or hair follicle openings.

Finasteride for hair loss may cause persistent sexual symptoms, depression, anxiety, and lower quality of life.

Melatonin can increase cashmere yield by altering gene expression and restarting the growth cycle early.

Eating isoflavone can help mice grow hair by increasing a growth factor.

Vitamin D and estrogen may help protect heart and kidney health, and maintaining sufficient vitamin D levels could be especially beneficial for African Americans, postmenopausal women, and people with chronic kidney disease.

The conclusion is that while oral contraceptive pills are effective for PCOS-related high androgen levels, new treatments with fewer side effects are needed.
