research Hirsutism in the Adolescent Female
The conclusion is that young women with excessive hair growth should be quickly tested for hormonal issues and treated to improve their social well-being.
research Miniaturization of sebaceous glands: A novel histopathological finding in pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus of the scalp
People with pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus often have smaller sebaceous glands on their scalp.
research In Vitro Performance of Dutasteride-Nanostructured Lipid Carriers Coated with Lauric Acid-Chitosan Oligomer for Dermal Delivery
Dutasteride-loaded nanoparticles coated with Lauric Acid-Chitosan show promise for treating hair loss due to their controlled release, low toxicity, and potential to stimulate hair growth.
research Characterization of follicular minoxidil sulfotransferase activity in a cohort of pattern hair loss patients from the Indian Subcontinent
About 41% of Indian hair loss patients have low enzyme activity that affects hair loss treatment effectiveness, with men affected more than women. Testing for this can guide treatment.
research Androgens downregulate BMP2 impairing the inductive role of dermal papilla cells on hair follicle stem cells differentiation
Androgens reduce BMP2, which weakens the ability of certain cells to help hair stem cells become different types of cells.
research Severity of Alopecia Predicts Coronary Changes and Arterial Stiffness in Untreated Hypertensive Men
Men with severe early-onset baldness may have worse heart artery function and stiffer arteries if they have high blood pressure.
research ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA
Minoxidil was promising for treating male and female pattern baldness in 1994, but more research on genetics and other treatments was needed.
research Can male-pattern baldness be prevented?
Finasteride may increase hair growth and prevent baldness in men, but can cause sexual side effects.
research Male baldness; association with coronary artery disease?
Male baldness is not significantly associated with coronary artery disease.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: Pathophysiological Aspects in Man and Animals
research News Review: Lipid Technology 5/2014
New cleaning surfactants, biofuel production plans, dairy expansions, improved lipid testing methods, and various product launches and developments were reported in lipid technology.
research The association between androgenic alopecia severity and the development of metabolic syndrome in Saudi Arabia: A case-control study
There's a significant link between severe hair loss and metabolic syndrome in Saudi Arabia, suggesting early health checks could prevent future issues.
research Expression of collagen type I, skin fibroblasts and macrophages after 1550 nm erbium glass fractional laser in androgenic alopecia
The 1550 nm fractional Er:Glass laser improved hair regrowth in patients with androgenic alopecia, but didn't significantly change collagen type I, skin fibroblasts, or macrophages. More research is needed for optimal results.
research First reboxetine trial results reported
Finasteride increased hair count and regrowth in men with hair loss but also caused more sexual side effects than placebo.
research Why are men with premature alopecia at higher risk of benign prostatic hyperplasia? And what about prostate cancer?
Men with early hair loss may have a higher risk of enlarged prostate and possibly prostate cancer due to shared hormonal factors.
research Patient Satisfaction and Quality of Life Among Adult Women with Androgenetic Alopecia Using 5% Topical Minoxidil.
Most women with hair loss using 5% topical Minoxidil are satisfied with the treatment, but hair loss still affects their daily habits and social life.
research Role of serum androgens and prostate-specific antigen levels in males with androgenetic alopecia
Higher serum androgens contribute to male pattern baldness.
research Faculty Opinions recommendation of A randomized, active- and placebo-controlled study of the efficacy and safety of different doses of dutasteride versus placebo and finasteride in the treatment of male subjects with androgenetic alopecia.
Dutasteride 0.5mg was found to be more effective than finasteride 1mg in treating male pattern hair loss, with similar side effects.
research Faculty Opinions recommendation of A randomized, active- and placebo-controlled study of the efficacy and safety of different doses of dutasteride versus placebo and finasteride in the treatment of male subjects with androgenetic alopecia.
Dutasteride 0.5mg is more effective than finasteride 1mg for treating male pattern baldness.
research Correlation between Hormonal Imbalances and Adult Female Acne
Hormonal imbalances, especially high androgen levels and insulin resistance, are linked to worse acne in adult women.
research Apoptosis and cutaneous biology
Apoptosis is crucial for healthy skin and treating skin diseases.
research Associaton of Insulin Resistance Linked Diseases and Hair Loss in Elderly Men. Finnish Population-based Study
Hair loss in older men is linked to higher rates of diabetes and high blood pressure.
research Modulating hair follicle size with W nt10b/DKK 1 during hair regeneration
Wnt10b makes hair follicles bigger, but DKK1 can reverse this effect.
research Gonadal dysgenesis and bone metabolism
Gonadal dysgenesis, like Turner's and Klinefelter's syndromes, negatively affects bone health, but hormone treatments can help.
research Stem cells and alopecia: a review of pathogenesis
Damaged hair follicle stem cells can cause permanent hair loss, but understanding their role could lead to new treatments.
research What can the hair tell us about COVID‐19?
Grey hair and baldness may be linked to COVID-19 severity, but more analysis is needed; post-infectious hair loss is related to the severity of the disease and usually recovers within 3-6 months.
research Divergent proliferation patterns of distinct human hair follicle epithelial progenitor niches in situ and their differential responsiveness to prostaglandin D2
Different human hair follicle stem cells grow at different rates and respond differently to a baldness-related compound.
research Clinicopathologic study of 90 cases of trichofolliculoma
