research Senescent alopecia (“senile alopecia” or “senescent balding”)
Senescent alopecia is a type of hair loss that occurs after age 50, not caused by genetics, and involves a gradual thinning of hair without significant inflammation.
research Generation of an integration-free human induced pluripotent stem cell line MUSIi010-A from occipital scalp fibroblasts of a male patient with androgenetic alopecia
Scientists created MUSIi010-A, a stem cell line from a balding man's scalp, to study hair loss and develop potential treatments.
research SnapshotDx Quiz: August 2016
Balding scalps show different gene expressions affecting hair growth compared to non-balding scalps.
research Healthy Hair: Form and Function
Hair health is influenced by genetics, aging, and environmental factors, with proper care needed to maintain it.
research Novel RNF113A Variant Underlying X‐Linked Trichothiodystrophy With Presumed Mosaicism in an Unaffected Mother
A new genetic variant causes trichothiodystrophy in two brothers, but their mother may carry it without showing symptoms.
research Clinical Snippets
Melanoma risk tools need improvement, a gene mutation causes a hair disorder that might be treated by managing cell stress, a potential therapy for a skin-ear disorder involves blocking cell channels, skin wrinkling may indicate lung aging regardless of smoking, and oxidative stress might contribute to common baldness.
research No genetic support for a contribution of prostaglandins to the aetiology of androgenetic alopecia
No genetic link between prostaglandins and hair loss found.
research The Microbiome in Hair Disorders
Changes in skin bacteria can affect hair loss and new treatments targeting these bacteria may prevent balding without sexual side effects.
research Molecular Genetic and Endocrine Mechanisms of Hair Growth
Hormones and their receptors, especially androgens, play a key role in hair growth and disorders like baldness.
research The genetics of androgenetic alopecia
Genes and hormones cause hair loss, with four genes contributing equally.
research Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgenetic alopecia is a condition causing noticeable hair loss, especially in middle age, which is more severe than normal balding.
research Balding man.
Hair loss should be medically treated, as non-medical treatments are ineffective and hair loss can indicate serious health issues.
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 BJD Snippet
Researchers found certain genes are overactive and others are underactive in men with early balding, which could help create new treatments.
research Hair Restoration
Hair loss is mainly caused by a testosterone byproduct, and hair restoration surgery uses hair from the back and sides of the scalp.
research Overexpression of alkaline phosphatase improves the hair-inductive capacity of cultured human dermal papilla spheres
Increasing alkaline phosphatase in human skin cells helps to grow more hair.
research Treatment of Hair Loss in the Trichorhinophalangeal Syndrome
Hair transplantation successfully treated hair loss in a patient with Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome.
research Hair Sciences: The hair cycle discussed with Dr. Gilliam Westgate
Androgens affect hair growth and shedding, with genetic and non-genetic factors influencing baldness.
research Male pattern baldness: current treatments, future prospects
Current treatments for male pattern baldness include minoxidil and finasteride, with new options being developed.
research A Random Study of Asian Male Androgenetic Alopecia in Bangkok, Thailand
Male pattern baldness affects 38.52% of Asian men in Bangkok, increasing with age and influenced by genes and environment.
research Female Androgenic Alopecia
Women with low SHBG levels and a high 3a-diol G to SHBG ratio are likely to experience female pattern baldness, possibly due to a slight excess of androgens affecting sensitive hair bulbs.
research Mechanism of androgenic alopecia: Addressing speculations through empirical evidences
Hair loss in men is mainly caused by hormones and genes, and while current treatments can slow it down, they can't fully stop it.
research Pathogenesis of androgenetic alopecia
Androgenetic alopecia, or hair loss, is caused by a mix of genetics, hormones, and environment, where testosterone affects hair growth and causes hair to become smaller and grow for a shorter time.
research Clinical Snippets
New treatments for hair growth and psoriasis may be possible, and gene differences could affect baldness and the severity of skin conditions.
research Invasive giant pituitary macroadenoma causing Cushing disease; a case report
Giant pituitary macroadenomas causing Cushing disease are rare and may need extra treatment if surgery fails.
research News in brief
Researchers found potential new targets for treating melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancers, and identified a possible cause and treatment for male pattern baldness and eczema.
research S234: Hair Transplantation and Micrografting for Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons
Hair transplantation and micrografting are effective for cosmetic facial enhancement, requiring careful technique and postoperative care for successful outcomes.
research Transcriptome Profiling of Pilosebaceous Units in Male Androgenetic Alopecia Reveals Altered Junctional Networks
Hair loss in male pattern baldness is linked to changes in specific genes and proteins that affect hair growth and scalp health.
research Breakthroughs in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Male and Female Pattern Hair Loss
New methods can diagnose hair loss by examining the scalp and can treat it with a mix of oral and topical medications, along with cosmetic procedures like hair transplants.
