research Recent positive selection of a human androgen receptor/ectodysplasin A2 receptor haplotype and its relationship to male pattern baldness
A specific genetic mutation may increase male pattern baldness risk, especially in Europeans.
research The hair follicle enigma
The document concludes that understanding hair follicles requires more research using computational methods and an integrative approach, considering the current limitations in hair treatment products.
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 Early-onset androgenetic alopecia in China: a descriptive study of a large outpatient cohort
Early hair loss common in Chinese males, linked to family history and smoking; early treatment advised.
research Frequency of body dysmorphic disorder among patients with complaints of hair loss
Patients with hair loss are much more likely to have body dysmorphic disorder than general dermatology patients.
research Favorable effects of microneedling on long‐standing androgenetic alopecia in an elderly man: A case report
Microneedling with minoxidil improved hair growth in elderly man.
research Oral cyclosporin does not arrest progression of androgenetic alopecia.
Oral cyclosporin doesn't stop hair loss.
research Comparative efficacy of oral dutasteride and low-, medium-, and high-dose oral minoxidil: a six-month prospective trichoscopic and clinical study
Oral minoxidil improved hair loss more than oral dutasteride.
research Alopecia and the Microbiome: A Future Therapeutic Target?
The microbiome may be linked to hair loss and could be a target for new treatments.

research Lipid profile in patients with androgenetic alopecia: a meta-analysis
People with hair loss have worse cholesterol levels, possibly linking hair loss to heart problems.
research The expression of insulin-like growth factor 1 in follicular dermal papillae correlates with therapeutic efficacy of finasteride in androgenetic alopecia
Higher IGF-1 levels in hair follicles link to better finasteride results for hair loss.
research Dermatologic Features of Classic Movie Villains
Most classic movie villains have skin conditions, unlike the heroes, which may cause bias against real people with similar conditions.
research Effects of Finasteride on Apoptosis and Regulation of the Human Hair Cycle
Finasteride helps hair growth by decreasing cell death in hair follicles.
research Hair distribution width – a novel trichoscopy parameter for hair miniaturization in androgenetic alopecia
New method, hair distribution width (HDW), improves accuracy in diagnosing androgenetic alopecia (AGA).
research Randomized Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind, Half-Head Study to Assess the Efficacy of Platelet-Rich Plasma on the Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia
PRP treatment helps hair growth and density in androgenetic alopecia patients.
research Psychological Effect, Pathophysiology, and Management of Androgenetic Alopecia in Men
Minoxidil and finasteride can slow hair loss and stimulate regrowth, but won't restore all lost hair or reverse complete baldness.
research Potential targets in the discovery of new hair growth promoters for androgenic alopecia
The document concludes that targeting 5α-reductase, the androgen receptor, and hair growth genes, along with using compounds with anti-androgenic properties, could lead to more effective hair loss treatments.
research Are sex discordant outcomes in COVID-19 related to sex hormones?
Sex hormones may affect COVID-19 severity, with men often faring worse, and targeting related pathways could offer treatment options.
research Men with Kennedy disease have a reduced risk of androgenetic alopecia
Men with Kennedy disease have less chance of hair loss.
research Fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution
Fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution is a hair loss condition often confused with other types, requiring early treatment but usually not resulting in significant hair regrowth.
research Systematic review of platelet‐rich plasma in treating alopecia: Focusing on efficacy, safety, and therapeutic durability
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a safe and potentially effective way to treat hair loss, especially when combined with minoxidil.
research Comparison of quality of life in patients with androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata
Both androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata negatively impact quality of life, with no significant difference between them.
research Hair Loss and Hirsutism in the Elderly
Many elderly women experience unwanted facial hair and various hair loss conditions, with treatments available for each condition.
research An investigation of crosstalk between Wnt/β-catenin and transforming growth factor-β signaling in androgenetic alopecia
