July 2017 in “Journal of controlled release” In this study, a new formulation of all-trans retinoic acid bound to polyvinyl alcohol showed reduced skin inflammation and sustained drug release for up to six days compared to free ATRA in vitro and in vivo.
This study found that testosterone enhances glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in male and female human islets through its conversion to DHT and E2, a process disrupted by 5α-reductase and aromatase inhibitors.
In this study, researchers analyzed over 5,000 T cells per sample using scRNA+TCR-seq technology and found that dual TCR Tregs are present in high proportions across various mouse tissues, showing unique TCR pairing patterns, V(D)J usage, and mRNA expression compared to single TCR Tregs.

August 2019 in “iScience” In this study, Trf1 genetic deletion in mice, including those with cancer-prone mutations, was shown to not affect overall viability and cause only mild effects, while being necessary for tumor formation, suggesting a potential therapeutic window for Trf1 as an anti-cancer target.
This study investigated dual TCR Treg cells in mouse tissues, revealing a high proportion and diverse pairing patterns compared to single TCR Tregs, providing insights into their origins and characteristics across different tissue locations.
December 2004 in “Annales d Urologie” This article examines the PCPT study on whether daily finasteride can reduce prostate cancer incidence, describing its methodology and findings but reporting no new clinical results.
September 2009 in “European Urology Supplements” Cone beam computed tomography can allow for smaller safety margins around the target area in prostate cancer radiation treatment if used for ongoing treatment checks.
2 citations
,
October 2022 in “British journal of haematology” This study reports the first successful use of zanubrutinib to treat a 15-year-old Chinese girl with severe refractory Evans' syndrome, resulting in a sustained recovery of platelet counts and haemoglobin levels.
29 citations
,
May 1975 in “Clinical Endocrinology” In this study, treatments combining betamethasone and anovulatory steroids significantly reduced testosterone production in women with hirsutism, with many reporting improved hirsutism and acne, although clinical benefit did not consistently correlate with testosterone reduction.
In this study, testosterone treatment was found to increase blood pressure in rats, potentially through mechanisms involving sodium and water retention in the kidneys and changes in specific gene expressions in the brain.
23 citations
,
December 2013 in “Molecular cancer therapeutics” This study found that AR-positive breast cancer cell lines are more sensitive to the dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor NVP-BEZ235 compared to AR-negative cells.
8 citations
,
March 2022 in “Cancers” This study found that proton minibeam radiotherapy demonstrated a potential tissue-sparing effect in epidermis models by spatially confining DNA damage, suggesting reduced side effects in radiotherapy.
October 2024 in “Endocrinology Insights” In this study, researchers found that both the EU-TIRADS and Bethesda systems exhibited high specificity but suboptimal sensitivity for predicting thyroid nodule malignancy in patients who underwent surgery, with Bethesda system showing particularly high specificity in this postoperative population.
This study suggests that the negative impact of high-dose Finasteride on male reproductive function may be mitigated by concurrent administration with TU.
July 2020 in “Stem Cells Translational Medicine” In this study, Caplan et al. found that treatment with human Tregs expanded from umbilical cord blood may modulate immune responses and improve outcomes in a rodent model of traumatic brain injury.

,
April 2021 in “Biology” This study found that ethanol extract of Tubtim Chumphae rice bran downregulates SRD5A gene expression, similarly to finasteride, suggesting potential use as an anti-hair loss product.

,
December 2012 in “The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology” This study found that progesterone reduces neuronal injury from tributyltin exposure in rat hippocampal slices through a mechanism dependent on allopregnanolone and GABAA receptors.
18 citations
,
September 1972 in “British Journal of Pharmacology” In this study on male rats, parachlorophenylalanine treatment induced hypersexual behavior and hair loss linked to increased social interaction but had no effect on brain serotonin when testosterone was used instead.

,
October 2014 in “Thyroid” This study found that dabrafenib was well tolerated and led to durable responses in patients with BRAF-mutant differentiated thyroid carcinoma, with a median progression-free survival of 11.3 months.
April 2013 in “The FASEB Journal” In this study, dutasteride, but not finasteride, reduced high-grade PIN lesions more effectively in C57xFVB TRAMP mice, although both drugs increased the incidence of poorly differentiated prostate cancer.
