research Drugs and Hair Loss
Some medications can cause hair loss, but stopping the drug usually leads to recovery within 3 months.
research Modulating hair follicle size with W nt10b/DKK 1 during hair regeneration
Wnt10b makes hair follicles bigger, but DKK1 can reverse this effect.
research Minoxidil (Mx) as a prophylaxis of doxorubicin – induced alopecia
Minoxidil not effective in preventing chemotherapy-induced hair loss.
research Genetics and other factors in the aetiology of female pattern hair loss
Female pattern hair loss has unclear causes, possibly involving genetics, hormones, and environment, and needs better treatments.
research Use of Finasteride in the Treatment of Men With Androgenetic Alopecia (Male Pattern Hair Loss)
Finasteride effectively improves hair growth and slows hair loss in men with male pattern baldness.
research Evaluation of the predictive capacity of DNA variants associated with straight hair in Europeans
Certain DNA variants can predict straight hair in Europeans but are not highly specific.
research A hair growth questionnaire for use in the evaluation of therapeutic effects in men
The questionnaire effectively measures men's perceived hair growth and can distinguish between different treatments and dosages.
research Minoxidil increases 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and 5α-reductase activity of cultured human dermal papilla cells from balding scalp
Minoxidil boosts enzymes that help hair growth.
research The Efficacy of Platelet-Rich Plasma in the Field of Hair Restoration and Facial Aesthetics—A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy can promote hair growth and improve facial aesthetics, including reducing acne scars and facial burns, and it works best with three initial monthly injections.
research Biomechanical properties of scalp flaps and their correlations to reconstructive and aesthetic surgery procedures
Scalp flaps are stiffer than skin from other body areas, which helps in planning reconstructive and cosmetic head surgeries.
research MicroRNA in skin diseases
Certain microRNAs are linked to various skin diseases and could be used to diagnose and treat these conditions.
research How to Diagnose Hair Loss
The document concludes that using specific tools and tests is essential for identifying the cause of hair loss and deciding on the right treatment.
research The mRNA for Protease Nexin-1 is Expressed in Human Dermal Papilla Cells and its Level is Affected by Androgen
Human skin cells contain Protease Nexin-1, and male hormones can decrease its levels, potentially affecting hair growth.
research Genome-wide association study of skin complex diseases
Genetic variants linked to ten skin diseases were found, showing both immune and non-immune factors play a role.
research Targeted transfollicular delivery of artocarpin extract from Artocarpus incisus by means of microparticles
Microparticles containing artocarpin extract could effectively treat hair loss and acne with minimal side effects.
research Testosterone Metabolism in Human Skin Cells in vitro and Its Interaction with Estradiol and Dutasteride
Different skin cells process testosterone differently, and certain drugs can change this process, possibly helping treat acne and hair loss.
research Androgen receptor transactivity is potentiated by TGF-β1 through Smad3 but checked by its coactivator Hic-5/ARA55 in balding dermal papilla cells
TGF-β1 increases androgen receptor activity in hair loss, but Hic-5/ARA55 can counter this effect.
research Trichoscopic Findings of Hair Loss in Koreans
The study found specific hair and scalp patterns for different types of hair loss in Koreans, noting racial differences affect diagnosis.
research Skin diseases in consequence of endocrine alterations
Hormone imbalances can cause skin diseases, and understanding these links is important for diagnosis and treatment.
research Estimating the Number of Lifetime Follicular Units: A Survey and Comments of Experienced Hair Transplant Surgeons
Experienced hair transplant surgeons suggest a limited number of hair follicles can be used for transplants, and recommend conservative methods to avoid scarring and depletion.
research L’effluvium télogène actinique: une facette de la chronobiologie humaine
Hair loss increases between July and October, possibly due to UV light, and factors like skin type, hair color, and density may affect this. Dandruff can worsen hair loss conditions.
research Defining microRNA signatures of hair follicular stem and progenitor cells in healthy and androgenic alopecia patients
Found microRNA differences in hair cells, suggesting potential treatment targets for hair loss.
research Nocebo effect in Dermatology
Negative expectations can cause adverse effects in dermatology treatments, like with finasteride for baldness, and careful communication can help reduce these nocebo responses.
research Shorn Scalps and Perceptions of Male Dominance
Men with shaved heads are seen as more dominant but older and less attractive.
research Polymorphisms in androgen and estrogen receptor genes: effects on male aging
Changes in testosterone and estrogen receptor genes can affect how men age, influencing body fat, hair patterns, and possibly leading to skin disorders.
research Update on the Genetics of Androgenetic Alopecia, Female Pattern Hair Loss, and Alopecia Areata: Implications for Molecular Diagnostic Testing
Genetic factors affect hair loss, and molecular testing may help predict, diagnose, and treat it.
