research In This Issue
Advancements in hair biology include new treatments and tools for hair growth and alopecia.
research In That Issue: Proceedings From the Third Intercontinental Meeting of Hair Research Societies
The meeting covered advances in understanding hair growth, causes of hair loss, and potential treatments.
research PREFACE
The document emphasizes the need for surgeons to stay updated with the latest hair restoration and removal techniques and introduces new, essential information in the field.
research A genetic test for androgenetic alopecia: polymorphisms in the androgen receptor gene provide a genetic screening test for androgenetic alopecia and earlier medical intervention
A genetic test can identify people at risk of male pattern baldness early, allowing for quicker treatment.
research Androgenetische Alopezie beim Mann . Male androgenetic alopecia
Male androgenetic alopecia involves hair follicle miniaturization due to DHT, with potential treatments using inhibitors and blockers.
research HORMONAL THERAPY IN DERMATOLOGY
Hormonal therapy is a treatment option for acne, the only medical treatment for hirsutism, and the most promising for androgenetic alopecia.
research Androgens and the hair follicle. Cultured human dermal papilla cells as a model system.
research Molecular Mechanisms Regulating Hair Follicle Development
Understanding hair follicle development can help treat hair loss, skin regeneration, and certain skin cancers.
research Intracrinology and The Skin
DHEA stimulates skin oil glands and could help postmenopausal women, with potential for acne and excessive hair growth treatments.
research Outcome of long-term treatment with the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride in idiopathic hirsutism: clinical and hormonal effects during a 1-year course of therapy and 1-year follow-up
Finasteride effectively reduces hair growth in women with idiopathic hirsutism, but requires careful contraception during treatment.
research Antiandrogenic Therapy With Finasteride Attenuates Cardiac Hypertrophy and Left Ventricular Dysfunction
Finasteride helps reduce heart issues and improves heart function.
research The Basic Mechanism of Hair Growth Stimulation by Adipose-derived Stem Cells and Their Secretory Factors
Adipose-derived stem cells can help treat hair loss.
research Reversal of androgenetic alopecia by topical ketoconzole: Relevance of anti-androgenic activity
Ketoconazole lotion can improve hair regrowth for some people with androgenetic alopecia.
research Local and Systemic Reduction by Topical Finasteride or Flutamide of Hamster Flank Organ Size and Enzyme Activity
Topical finasteride and flutamide reduce gland size and enzyme activity, with flutamide being more potent, potentially treating acne, seborrhea, hirsutism, and androgenic alopecia.
research Lack of androgen receptor transcriptional activity in human keratinocytes
Human keratinocytes do not naturally respond to androgens.
research Advances in male hormone substitution therapy
New treatments for low male hormones improved sexual function and mood but had unclear risks, especially for older men.
research Molecular interactions of progesterone derivatives with 5α-reductase types 1 and 2 and androgen receptors
Certain progesterone derivatives can inhibit enzymes and reduce androgenic activity, potentially affecting prostate growth.
research Biological activity of novel progesterone derivatives having a bulky ester side chains at C-3
The more lipophilic the progesterone derivative, the better it binds to androgen receptors and has antiandrogenic effects.
research Effect of petroleum ether and ethanol fractions of seeds of Abrus precatorius on androgenic alopecia
The seeds of Abrus precatorius, when processed, can prevent hair loss more effectively than common treatments.
research Untargeted Metabolomics and Steroid Signatures in Urine of Male Pattern Baldness Patients after Finasteride Treatment for a Year
Finasteride treatment changes urine metabolomics and steroid signatures, potentially monitoring effectiveness but may cause sexual side effects.
research Clascoterone as a novel treatment for androgenetic alopecia
Clascoterone may be a promising treatment for hair loss.
research Anabolic and Metabolic Effects of Testosterone and Other Androgens: Direct Effects and Role of Testosterone Metabolic Products
Testosterone and its metabolites have varied effects on different body systems, especially during puberty.
research Transcriptome analysis to identify the downstream genes of androgen receptor in dermal papilla cells
The study found that androgen receptors in skin cells mainly affect the focal adhesion pathway and control the caveolin-1 gene, with implications for new treatments for related diseases.
research Molecular interactions of natural and synthetic steroids in female hamsters’ flank organs
Testosterone, progesterone, and levonorgestrel change enzyme levels related to fat production in hamster skin, which could affect skin oil and acne.
research An overview of incidence and mechanisms promoting weight gain as an adverse effect of oral minoxidil therapy for androgenetic alopecia
Oral minoxidil for hair loss can cause weight gain due to fluid retention.
research 592 Cross-interactions of BMP and WNT signaling pathways attenuate androgen effect on HFSC differentiation
BMPs are important for hair growth and can counteract the negative effects of androgens on hair follicle stem cells.
research Acne Keloidalis Nuchae
Acne keloidalis nuchae is a chronic skin condition more common in African men, causing itchy or painful bumps and can lead to permanent hair loss if not treated early.
research Clinical Snippets
Melanoma risk tools need improvement, certain gene mutations cause skin diseases and could be treated by targeting those mutations, skin wrinkling may relate to lung aging due to genetic factors, and oxidative stress affects hair loss but can be reduced in low oxygen.
research Abstract 5561: 20(S)-Protopanaxadiol-aglycone downregulates full-length and ligand-independent splice variants of androgen receptor
20(S)-Protopanaxadiol-aglycone may help prevent and treat prostate cancer by reducing androgen receptor activity.
