Finasteride helps protect brain in old male rats.
research Dopa oxidase activity in the hair, skin and ocular melanocytes is increased in the presence of stressed fibroblasts
Stressed fibroblasts greatly increase melanin production in hair, skin, and eye cells, mainly due to a growth factor called bFGF.
research The nutritional biochemistry of wool and hair follicles
Nutrients like vitamins, copper, zinc, and amino acids are crucial for healthy hair and wool growth.
research Platelet-Rich Plasma and Stem Cells for Hair Growth: A Review of the Literature
Platelet-Rich Plasma and stem cell therapy can increase hair count and density, but the best method for preparation and treatment still needs to be determined.
research Synthesis and in Vitro Evaluation of 4-Substituted N-(1,1-Dimethylethyl)-3-oxo-4-androstene-17.beta.-carboxamides as 5.alpha.-Reductase Inhibitors and Antiandrogens
The new compounds moderately block a specific enzyme and strongly counteract a male hormone, suggesting potential for treating certain male-related health conditions.
research Androgen receptor activation integrates complex transcriptional effects in osteoblasts, involving the growth factors TGF-β and IGF-I, and transcription factor C/EBPδ
DHT affects bone growth by altering gene activity in osteoblasts, potentially complicating steroid use.
research Platelet-derived growth factor regulates the proliferation and differentiation of human melanocytes in a differentiation-stage-specific manner
PDGF-BB helps young melanocytes grow but stops mature ones from growing, and it makes melanocytes more specialized.
research Controversy: is there a role for adjuvants in the management of male pattern hair loss?
Adjuvants, diet changes, and laser therapy may improve male pattern hair loss.
research Concurrence of Palmoplantar Psoriasiform Eruptions and Hair Loss during Carbamazepine Treatment
Carbamazepine caused hair loss and skin eruptions in a woman, which improved after stopping the medication.
research Tumor Promotion in Skin: Are Active Oxygen Species Involved?
Active oxygen species might be involved in skin tumor growth, but their exact role is unclear.

New targeted therapies for hair loss from alopecia areata show promise, with personalized treatment expected in the future.
research Ovarian Hilus-Cell Hyperplasia and High Serum Testosterone in a Patient With Postmenopausal Virilization
A woman's male-like symptoms and high testosterone were due to ovarian hilus-cell hyperplasia, which improved after surgery.
research Sodium selenate as a disease-modifying treatment for mild–moderate Alzheimer’s disease: an open-label extension study
Sodium selenate was found to be safe and possibly slows Alzheimer's progression, but more research is needed.
research Proposed mechanisms of low-level light therapy in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia
LLLT helps treat hair loss by increasing blood flow, reducing inflammation, and stimulating growth factors.
research Metabolism and skin diseases
Skin health and diseases are closely linked to metabolic processes.
research Epimedium brevicornum Maxim. Extract exhibits pigmentation by melanin biosynthesis and melanosome biogenesis/transfer
Epimedium extract helps increase skin pigmentation and could be a new treatment for conditions with reduced pigmentation.
research Synergistic effect of rice bran extract and extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields on dermal papilla/melanocytes in melanogenesis
Rice bran extract and low-frequency electromagnetic fields together may help treat vitiligo and white hair.

research Spatial and temporal control of laminin-511 and -332 expressions during catagen
Laminin-511 may help promote hair growth, while laminin-332 does not affect hair loss.
research Alopecia areata – hyperactivity of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis is a myth?
The study found no significant difference in stress hormone levels between people with alopecia areata and healthy individuals, suggesting that the disease is not caused by an overactive stress response system.
