research The Androgen Receptor Antagonizes Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling in Epidermal Stem Cells
Androgen receptor activity blocks Wnt/β-catenin signaling, affecting hair growth and skin cell balance.
research Biology of Hair Growth
Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone affect hair growth, and new techniques like the folliculogram help study it, but fully understanding hair growth is still complex.
research To grow or not to grow: Hair morphogenesis and human genetic hair disorders
Genetic mutations can cause hair growth disorders by affecting key genes and signaling pathways.

research Molecular insights into chronotype and time-of-day effects on decision-making
People's decision-making can be influenced by their internal biological clocks, as shown by gene expression, not just self-reported preferences for morning or evening.
research Circulatory Changes in Alopecia
The document suggests that the traditional understanding of hair growth cycles and alopecia may be inaccurate and that blood supply plays a significant role in hair growth and loss.
research Alopecia Areata. Current situation and perspectives
Alopecia Areata is a complex, unpredictable autoimmune hair loss condition with limited treatment options and a significant psychological impact.
research Azasteroids as inhibitors of testosterone 5α-reductase in mammalian skin
Certain 4-azasteroids are effective at blocking the enzyme that processes testosterone in human skin and could help treat acne, excessive hair growth, and male pattern baldness.
