90-120 / 1000+ results research The roles of hepatocyte growth factor family members in androgen-regulation of human hair growth. A comparison of the expression of hepatocyte growth factor family members, HGF and MSP, and their receptors, c-Met and RON, in isolated hair follicles from normal and androgenetic alopecia (balding) scalp.
Balding hair follicles have reduced growth factors and increased inhibitory factors, suggesting new treatment paths for hair loss.
research The Potential of Fibroblast Growth Factors to Stimulate Hair Growth In Vitro
Some fibroblast growth factors may promote hair growth similarly to minoxidil and could potentially treat hair loss.
research Research advance of concentrated growth factors in treatment of androgenetic hair loss
Concentrated growth factors may help treat hair loss caused by genetics.
research Expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in various compartments of the human hair follicle
Dermal papilla cells mainly drive blood vessel growth in hair follicles.
research Loss of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in Human Alopecia Hair Follicles
Hair follicles in people with alopecia have lower levels of a key blood vessel growth protein.
research Intraovarian vascular enhancement via stromal injection of platelet-derived growth factors: Exploring subsequent oocyte chromosomal status and in vitro fertilization outcomes
Injecting platelet-derived growth factors into ovaries may improve IVF outcomes by enhancing egg quality and embryo health.
research Is COVID-19 a risk factor for progression of benign prostatic hyperplasia and exacerbation of its related symptoms?: a systematic review
COVID-19 might worsen symptoms and progression of benign prostatic hyperplasia, possibly due to inflammation and metabolic disturbances in the prostate gland. More research is needed to confirm this.
research Tinea capitis mimicking cicatricial alopecia: What host and dermatophyte factors lead to this unusual clinical presentation?
Some cases of tinea capitis, a fungal scalp infection, can look like scarring hair loss due to the body's immune response and the fungus itself.
research Harm reduction measures in a recreational gym user with anabolic androgenic steroid dependence: a case report in the context of current best clinical practice
Non-medical steroid use in gym-goers is risky and needs better prevention and care strategies.
research Comment on: Risk factors for frontal fibrosing alopecia: A case-control study in a multiracial population
The commentary suggests that certain hair and skin care products may be linked to frontal fibrosing alopecia, but not sunscreens, and calls for more thorough research on the causes.
research Probing androgen receptor co-factor selectivity profiles: a chemical tool to determine cross-talk between androgen receptor and β-catenin in vivo
PF-05314882 selectively activates androgen receptors without much effect on prostate and may help in prostate cancer treatment and hair loss prevention.
research The Pathogenesis and Treatment Progress of Androgenic Alopecia
Future treatments for androgenic alopecia may focus on reactivating hair follicle stem cells and improving drug delivery.
research Justicia procumbens prevents hair loss in androgenic alopecia mice
Justicia procumbens extract may help prevent hair loss and improve hair thickness and shine in a type of hair loss condition.
research Role of vascular endothelial growth factor in androgenetic alopecia
Vascular endothelial growth factor might be involved in common hair loss.
research Alopecia androgénica como factor predictor de hiperplasia benigna de próstata
Male pattern baldness may be an early sign of noncancerous prostate enlargement.

Polycystic ovary syndrome is the main cause of hirsutism in premenopausal Iranian women.
research Questionnaire analysis of related factors of male pattern alopecia and clinical efficacy of finasteride therapy in 320 patients
Finasteride effectively treats male pattern hair loss and improves life quality, but psychological support is also recommended.
research Androgen Induction of Follicular Epithelial Cell Growth Is Mediated via Insulin-like Growth Factor-I from Dermal Papilla Cells
Male hormones promote hair cell growth by using a growth factor from nearby skin cells.
research Male balding is a major risk factor for severe COVID-19
Men with severe balding have a higher risk of getting very sick from COVID-19.
research The Contribution of Endogenous and Exogenous Factors to Female Alopecia
Both genetic and lifestyle factors significantly affect female hair loss.
research Prevalence of alopecia and its contributing factors among primary healthcare attendees in the Jazan region, Saudi Arabia
In the Jazan region of Saudi Arabia, hair loss is common, especially among women, older people, and those with higher education and BMI. Stress, poor nutrition, and hormonal changes are key causes, but many don't seek medical help.
research Human scalp hair: Modulation by various factors and hormones do estrogens inhibit or stimulate—A perplexing perspective
The effects of estrogen on human scalp hair growth are unclear and need more research.
