This review discusses the benefits of β-sitosterol, a plant compound found in nuts and seeds, which may lower "bad" cholesterol and help prevent heart disease, cancer, and diabetes, but notes the lack of clinical studies on its safety and effectiveness in humans.

This study found that topical bortezomib increased cell proliferation in hair follicles and sebaceous glands in mice and may activate hair keratin gene expression through GATA-3 transcription factors.

Finasteride and GIZh-72 reduce inflammation, with GIZh-72 being more effective.

This study suggests that Breezula® and Minoxidil both enhance hair growth in male pattern hair loss by promoting keratinocyte proliferation, with Breezula® potentially more potent in reducing the hair growth inhibitor IL-6.

This study found that compounds from Ziziphus spina-christi roots exhibited promising antibacterial and antioxidant activities, supporting its traditional medicinal use.

This study found that the antiandrogen drug enzalutamide reduced TMPRSS2 levels and significantly decreased SARS-CoV-2 entry and infection in lung cells, supporting further clinical trials for COVID-19 treatment.

This study suggests that testosterone may reduce knee joint range of motion by acting on relaxin receptors in rats, while flutamide and finasteride counteracted this effect and increased receptor expression.

In this study, finasteride alone or combined with terazosin significantly reduced PSA levels in men with BPH, while terazosin alone did not affect PSA levels.

In this study using zebrafish, four bisbenzylisoquinoline derivatives were found to protect hair cells from aminoglycoside-induced damage without reducing antibiotic efficacy, potentially leading to therapies for patients undergoing such treatments.

This animal study found that berberine may alleviate benign prostatic hyperplasia by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress through inhibition of the NF-κB signaling pathway.

This study found that overexpression of betacellulin in transgenic mice delayed hair follicle morphogenesis and cycling, increased keratinocyte proliferation, and enhanced wound angiogenesis without affecting wound healing strength.

This study identified novel compounds as selective inhibitors of the type 1 isoenzyme of 5α-reductase, displaying promising potential for treating DHT-dependent disorders such as acne and androgenic alopecia.

Custom software found that common allergy drugs might have new uses for various conditions and could improve survival in some cancers.

Blocking the enzyme 11β-HSD1 might help treat obesity and metabolic issues.

This study found that applying 2.5% testosterone gel increased facial terminal hairs in young males with beta-thalassemia major and was well tolerated.

The patient's hair loss was likely not caused by beta blockers but possibly by stress or other factors.

This study found that self-monitoring blood pressure among pregnant women with hypertension did not significantly improve clinical outcomes compared to usual care, though women reported positive cognitive and emotional responses.

This study found that weekly low-dose bicalutamide was safe and appeared to be associated with high-grade PIN remission and favorable PSA modulation in subjects with persistently elevated PSA but negative biopsy.

Adding diltiazem to a beta blocker can cause dangerously slow heart rates.

This study found that male patients with androgenetic alopecia had higher serum levels of Zinc Alpha 2 Glycoprotein than healthy controls, suggesting its potential role in the disease's pathophysiology.

This review highlights that bicalutamide, a non-steroidal antiandrogen used in prostate cancer treatment, is mainly effective through its (R)-enantiomer and emphasizes the need to monitor its adverse effects despite its targeted antiandrogenic action.

This study found that minoxidil, used with beta-blockers and thiazides, effectively reduced blood pressure in patients with severe hypertension, although it required careful management of side effects like sodium retention and increased hair growth.
