research Hair through the female life cycle
Women's hair generally gets thinner and less dense starting in their mid-thirties, with hair loss becoming more common as they age due to both genetics and environment.
research Subcutaneous injection of genetically engineered exosomes for androgenic alopecia treatment
EX104 shows promise in treating hair loss by promoting hair growth and improving scalp health.
research Acne
Acne is a common skin condition linked to diet, hormones, and genetics, and early treatment can prevent scarring.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Iatrogenic androgenetic alopecia in a male phenotype 46XX true hermaphrodite
Hormone treatment caused hair loss, finasteride helped regrowth.
research Assessment and Treatment Outcomes of Persistent Radiation-Induced Alopecia in Patients With Cancer
Persistent radiation-induced hair loss is dose-dependent, and treatments like topical minoxidil can be effective.
research Effect of 5α-Dihydrotestosterone and Testosterone on Apoptosis in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
High levels of testosterone and 5α-DHT can lead to cell death in cells important for hair growth.

Current treatments for male pattern baldness include minoxidil and finasteride, with new options being developed.
research Use of the TrichoScan to Assess Female Pattern Hair Loss
TrichoScan helps identify subtle hair thinning in women with androgenetic alopecia.
research Androgenetic alopecia
Hair loss from genetics and hormones can be treated with drugs or surgery.
research Late unexpected consequences of COVID‐19 infection in survivors of acute hypoxic respiratory failure
After severe COVID-19, 71% of patients experienced excessive hair shedding and thinning within 3 months due to factors like low oxygen levels, medication, stress, and autoimmune disease.
research Pathogenesis and causes of hirsutism
Hirsutism is mainly caused by high androgen levels or sensitivity, with PCOS being the most common cause.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome: role of androgen excess self-assessment in diagnosis
Women with PCOS often show signs of excess androgens like hirsutism, acne, and alopecia, with variations across ethnic groups.
research Genetics and Pathophysiology of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
The document concludes that patient outcomes for Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia are often not ideal because of poor management and a need for better diagnosis and treatment methods.
research Anti-Androgens
Effective treatments for excessive body hair in women include drugs that block androgens, sometimes combined with oral contraceptives.
research Alopecia androgénica femenina: nuevos factores fisiopatológicos y futuras tendencias para un abordaje clínico más integral
New factors in female hair loss include genetics, hormones, stress, and inflammation; future treatments should also focus on these areas and consider the patient's emotional well-being.
research The Hair Follicle as an Estrogen Target and Source
Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.
research Male androgenetic alopecia
DHT, a testosterone byproduct, causes male pattern baldness.
research Anti-androgenic effect of sesquiterpenes isolated from the rhizomes of Curcuma aeruginosa Roxb.
Germacrone from Curcuma aeruginosa may help treat conditions related to male hormones by blocking a specific enzyme.
research Advances in male hormone substitution therapy
