research Shorn Scalps and Perceptions of Male Dominance
Men with shaved heads are seen as more dominant but older and less attractive.
research Male pattern baldness and incidence of prostate cancer
Men with vertex baldness may have a higher risk of developing prostate cancer, but more research is needed to confirm this.
research Scalp reduction
Scalp reduction surgery can effectively treat male pattern baldness when tailored to the patient and performed with care to minimize complications.
research Hair Transplantation for Men with Advanced Degrees of Hair Loss
Hair transplants using follicular unit grafting and a strategic design can give great results even for men with severe hair loss.
research Androgenic alopecia may have evolved to protect men from prostate cancer by increasing skin exposure to ultraviolet radiation
Male pattern baldness might have evolved to help protect against prostate cancer by increasing UV radiation on the scalp.
research A prostaglandind-synthase-positive mast cell gradient characterizes scalp patterning
Certain immune cells are more common on the top of the head and might help predict or treat common hair loss.
research Identification of a novel heterozygous mutation in the first Japanese case of Marie Unna hereditary hypotrichosis
Researchers found a new genetic mutation causing a rare hair loss condition in the first Japanese child studied.
research Hair Restoration Surgery: Hair Transplantation and Micrografting
Hair transplantation and micrografting, used for baldness, involve moving hair follicles from hair-rich to bald areas, requiring careful procedure and post-care for success.
research Genetic prediction of male pattern baldness based on large independent datasets
New models predict male pattern baldness better than old ones but still need improvement.
research FINASTERIDE INHIBITS 5?-REDUCTASE ACTIVITY IN HUMAN DERMAL FIBROBLASTS: PREDICTION OF ITS THERAPEUTIC APPLICATION IN ANDROGEN-RELATED SKIN DISEASES
Finasteride helps treat skin issues like acne and baldness by blocking testosterone conversion.
research Hair Loss: A Harbinger of the Morbidities to Come!
Early hair loss in men and women may indicate a higher risk of heart disease and metabolic problems.
research Why Do Not All Chemotherapy Patients Lose Their Hair? Answering an Intriguing Question
Chemotherapy patients don't all lose their hair due to factors like hair growth rates, age, genetics, and the type of drugs used.
research 312 CRISPR/Cas9-based targeted genome editing for correction of recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa using iPS cells
The research showed that CRISPR/Cas9 can fix mutations causing a skin disease in stem cells, which then improved skin grafts in mice, but more work on safety and efficiency is needed.

The document describes a rare case of IFAP syndrome, a genetic condition with symptoms of hair loss, light sensitivity, and scaly skin.
research 314 Molecular genetic dissection of ILVEN leads to successful targeted therapy
Targeted therapy with Ustekinumab significantly improved a skin condition called ILVEN, which is caused by mutations in the CARD14 gene.
research Clinical course of the first Japanese family with Marie Unna hereditary hypotrichosis: a follow-up report
The first Japanese family with Marie Unna hereditary hypotrichosis showed hair condition improvement in a child and highlighted the risk of misdiagnosis.
research Ductal breast cancer in a male patient
An 86-year-old man with prostate cancer was diagnosed with a rare, low-grade breast cancer and underwent surgery but declined additional hormone therapy.
research The dermatological consequences of obesity

research Tissue engineering of human hair follicles using a biomimetic developmental approach
Researchers created human hair follicles using a new method that could help treat hair loss.
research Why Some Women Look Young for Their Age
Women look young for their age due to larger lips, less sun damage, and genes that prevent gray hair and wrinkles.
research The Hair Follicle as an Estrogen Target and Source
Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.
research Androgenetic alopecia: a review
Male pattern baldness involves genetics, hormones, and needs better treatments.

Mutations in specific genes disrupt development of sweat glands, teeth, hair, skin, and nails in HED.
research The Hair Follicle: A Paradoxical Androgen Target Organ
Androgens can both promote and prevent hair growth due to differences in gene expression in hair follicles.
research Emerging nonmetabolic functions of skin fat
Skin fat has important roles in hair growth, skin repair, immune defense, and aging, and could be targeted for skin and hair treatments.
