research Dihydrotestosterone-Inducible Dickkopf 1 from Balding Dermal Papilla Cells Causes Apoptosis in Follicular Keratinocytes
A substance called DKK-1 increases in balding areas and causes hair cells to die when exposed to DHT.
research Cyclooxygenases in the skin: pharmacological and toxicological implications
Blocking COX, especially COX-2, in the skin can reduce inflammation and pain and may help prevent skin cancer.
research Androgenetic alopecia: a review
Male pattern baldness involves genetics, hormones, and needs better treatments.
research Effect of Testosterone Supplementation With and Without a Dual 5α-Reductase Inhibitor on Fat-Free Mass in Men With Suppressed Testosterone Production
Testosterone's muscle-building effects do not require its conversion to DHT.
research Extraskeletal actions of vitamin D
Vitamin D has potential benefits for cancer prevention, heart health, diabetes, obesity, muscle function, skin health, and immune function, but clinical results are mixed and more research is needed.
research Neurogenic Inflammation in Stress-Induced Termination of Murine Hair Growth Is Promoted by Nerve Growth Factor
Stress increases a factor in mice that leads to hair loss, and blocking this factor may prevent it.

research Minoxidil-Induced Hair Growth is Mediated by Adenosine in Cultured Dermal Papilla Cells: Possible Involvement of Sulfonylurea Receptor 2B as a Target of Minoxidil
Minoxidil boosts hair growth by targeting adenosine and possibly sulfonylurea receptor 2B.
research Inhibition of skin 5α-reductase by oral contraceptive progestinsin vitro
Norgestimate is the most effective birth control progestin for reducing an enzyme linked to acne and excessive hair growth in women.
research What do we know about phytotherapy of benign prostatic hyperplasia?
Some plant-based treatments can help with benign prostatic hyperplasia symptoms, but more research is needed to confirm their safety and effectiveness.
research Finasteride Inhibits Human Prostate Cancer Cell Invasion through MMP2 and MMP9 Downregulation

research Glutamine Metabolism Controls Stem Cell Fate Reversibility and Long-Term Maintenance in the Hair Follicle
Glutamine metabolism affects hair stem cell maintenance and their ability to change back to stem cells.
research The antiandrogen enzalutamide downregulates TMPRSS2 and reduces cellular entry of SARS-CoV-2 in human lung cells
The drug enzalutamide may reduce the ability of the virus causing COVID-19 to enter lung cells.
research Androgens modify Wnt agonists/antagonists expression balance in dermal papilla cells preventing hair follicle stem cell differentiation in androgenetic alopecia
Androgens prevent hair growth by changing Wnt signals in cells.
research Mechanical Stretch Upregulates SDF-1α in Skin Tissue and Induces Migration of Circulating Bone Marrow-Derived Stem Cells into the Expanded Skin
Stretching skin increases a certain protein that attracts stem cells, helping skin regeneration.
research Tuning Wnt Signals for More or Fewer Hairs
Changing Wnt signaling can lead to more or less hair growth and might help treat hair loss and skin conditions.
