research Transient mitochondrial DNA double strand breaks in mice cause accelerated aging phenotypes in a ROS-dependent but p53/p21-independent manner
Damaging mitochondrial DNA in mice speeds up aging due to increased reactive oxygen species, not through the p53/p21 pathway.
research Low-level laser therapy for the treatment of androgenic alopecia: a review
Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a safe and effective treatment for common hair loss, but more research is needed to find the best power and wavelength for treatment.

Improved Finasteride delivery for hair loss treatment.
research Stimulation of the Follicular Bulge LGR5+ and LGR6+ Stem Cells with the Gut-Derived Human Alpha Defensin 5 Results in Decreased Bacterial Presence, Enhanced Wound Healing, and Hair Growth from Tissues Devoid of Adnexal Structures
Human alpha defensin 5 helps heal wounds, reduce bacteria, and grow hair on burned skin.
research Refinement of Technique in Injection Lipolysis Based on Scientific Studies and Clinical Evaluation
Injection lipolysis effectively reduces small fat deposits and should be done with care and proper patient selection.
research Effect of topical application of raspberry ketone on dermal production of insulin-like growth factor-I in mice and on hair growth and skin elasticity in humans
Raspberry ketone may help grow hair and improve skin elasticity.
research CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ Regulatory Tregs inhibit fibrocyte recruitment and fibrosis via suppression of FGF-9 production in the TGF-β1 exposed murine lung
Special immune cells called Tregs can help prevent lung scarring by blocking a specific growth factor.
research Development and Optimisation of Spironolactone Nanoparticles for Enhanced Dissolution Rates and Stability
Nanoparticles with more oleic acid improved the delivery and stability of the drug spironolactone.
research Hormonal changes in menopause: do they contribute to a ‘midlife hair crisis’ in women?
Menopause-related hormonal changes affect hair but are not the only cause of hair changes in middle-aged women.
research Morphological Approach to Hair Disorders
Accurate clinical, histological, and genetic methods are key for understanding and treating hair disorders.
research How to Speak Postmodern: Medicine, Illness, and Cultural Change
The document suggests medicine should integrate biological and cultural factors and focus on holistic, equitable care.
research Animal models of androgen-dependent disorders of the pilosebaceous apparatus
Testosterone causes hair loss in AGA mice, which are good for testing baldness treatments, and both minoxidil and cyproterone acetate can prevent this hair loss.
research Polarity signaling ensures epidermal homeostasis by coupling cellular mechanics and genomic integrity
Par3 protein is essential for skin cell balance and stability.
research Guidelines for the management of androgenetic alopecia (2010)

research Prediction of male-pattern baldness from genotypes
Genetic data can predict male-pattern baldness with moderate accuracy, especially for early-onset cases in some European men.
research The Contribution of Endogenous and Exogenous Factors to Male Alopecia
Genetic and environmental factors, like smoking and exercise, affect male hair loss.
research Surgical approach to adolescent obesity
Bariatric surgery may help severely obese teenagers but has risks and requires careful patient selection and long-term care.
research Local and Systemic Reduction by Topical Finasteride or Flutamide of Hamster Flank Organ Size and Enzyme Activity
Topical finasteride and flutamide reduce gland size and enzyme activity, with flutamide being more potent, potentially treating acne, seborrhea, hirsutism, and androgenic alopecia.
