research Pathogenesis and treatment options for chemotherapy‐induced alopecia: a systematic review
Scalp cooling is the most effective FDA-approved method to prevent chemotherapy-induced hair loss, but more research is needed for other treatments.
research Pathogenesis of Alopecia Areata and Vitiligo: Commonalities and Differences
Alopecia areata and vitiligo share immune system dysfunction but differ in specific immune responses and affected areas.
research Pathogenesis and clinical features of alopecia in epidermolysis bullosa: A systematic review
Alopecia in patients with epidermolysis bullosa varies in severity and is often caused by skin blistering or trauma.
research Pathogenesis of Alopecia Areata in C3H/HeJ Mice and DEBR Rats
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease that targets hair follicles.
research The Pathogenesis of Primary Cicatricial Alopecias

5 / 40 resultscommunity Proposed new pathogenesis model for androgenetic alopecia (AGA)
The conversation discusses a new model for understanding androgenetic alopecia (AGA), linking it to dietary and lifestyle factors similar to PCOS, and highlighting the role of DHT, vascular damage, and inflammation. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
community IGFBP‐rP1 is a potential therapeutic target in androgenic alopecia
IGFBP‐rP1 shows potential for treating androgenic alopecia by influencing hair cycle transitions. Increasing IGF-1 levels may have similar effects to Minoxidil and 5-AR inhibitors in reducing hair loss.
community Perifollicular Fibrosis and its role in androgenetic alopecia. Is Aminexil/Kopexil a must for anyone with AGA?
Aminexil/Kopexil may help reduce hair loss by addressing perifollicular fibrosis in androgenetic alopecia, but it lacks the extensive clinical backing of finasteride and minoxidil. Some users find it effective, but availability and cost are issues, especially in the US where it's not FDA-approved.
community Evidenced Based Meta-Analyses and Systemic Reviews of Androgenic Alopecia and Treatments
Evidence-based treatments for androgenic alopecia, such as minoxidil, finasteride, low-level laser light therapy, dutasteride, platelet-rich plasma, and topical ketoconazole. It discusses the efficacy, safety, and mechanism of action of these treatments, as well as future developments in understanding this polygenic condition.
community Efficacy and Tolerability of N-Acetyl-Cysteine for Treatment of The Early-onset Androgenetic Alopecia in Men
N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) was found to improve hair parameters in men with early-onset androgenetic alopecia, showing increased terminal hair count and decreased vellus hair count, with good tolerability. NAC, used alone or with minoxidil, may help due to its antioxidant properties, though its effectiveness can vary among individuals.
