research Seasonality of Hair Shedding in Healthy Women Complaining of Hair Loss
Healthy women tend to lose more hair in July and April, and the least in February.
research Shorter CAG repeats in the androgen receptor gene may enhance hyperandrogenicity in polycystic ovary syndrome
Shorter CAG repeats in a specific gene may increase male hormone activity and symptoms like acne and excess hair in women with PCOS.
research Foot shock stress prolongs the telogen stage of the spontaneous hair cycle in a non‐depilated mouse model
Stress in mice delays hair growth and treatments blocking substance P can partly reverse this effect.
research Manifestation of Hyperandrogenism in the Continuous Light Exposure-Induced PCOS Rat Model
Continuous light exposure in rats leads to PCOS-like symptoms and suggests sleep habits might affect the disorder's development.
research Endocrine correlates of male breast cancer risk: a case-control study in Athens, Greece
Reduced sexual drive may be linked to male breast cancer, while anti-estrogenic factors might lower the risk.
research Scalp whorls
Abnormal scalp whorls can indicate brain development issues but may also be seen in neurologically normal people.
research Vertex balding, plasma insulin-like growth factor 1, and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3
Men with balding at age 45 had higher IGF-1 and lower IGFBP-3, suggesting these factors might be important in male pattern baldness.
research Alopecia in Rhesus macaques correlates with immunophenotypic alterations in dermal inflammatory infiltrates consistent with hypersensitivity etiology
Hair loss in Rhesus macaques may be caused by a skin allergy-related condition.
research Peroxisome Proliferator–Activated Receptor-γ−Mediated Signaling Regulates Mitochondrial Energy Metabolism in Human Hair Follicle Epithelium
PPAR-γ signaling improves mitochondrial function in hair follicles, potentially affecting hair growth and aging.
research Cutaneous Blood Flow.
Laser Doppler velocimetry is a valuable noninvasive tool for skin blood flow research in dermatology.
research Alopecia à Deux: Simultaneous Occurrence of Alopecia in a Husband and Wife
A married couple both developed alopecia areata, possibly due to shared stress.
research Androgen deprivation therapy may constitute a more effective COVID-19 prophylactic than therapeutic strategy
Androgen deprivation therapy might be better for preventing COVID-19 than treating it.
research Ischemia-modified albumin as a possible marker of oxidative stress in patients with telogen effluvium
Higher levels of ischemia-modified albumin in telogen effluvium patients may indicate oxidative stress.
research Are 2D:4D finger-length ratios an indicator of androgenetic alopecia in males?
Right hand finger ratio may predict male hair loss.
research No prevention of radiotherapy-induced alopecia by scalp cooling
Scalp cooling does not stop hair loss from radiotherapy.
research Targeted elimination of the follicular label-retaining cells by photo-induced cell killing caused a defect on follicular renewal on mice
Killing specific cells in hair follicles can lead to hair growth problems in mice.
research Androgen Receptor–Mediated Paracrine Signaling Induces Regression of Blood Vessels in the Dermal Papilla in Androgenetic Alopecia
Male pattern baldness is linked to higher levels of a certain receptor in the scalp, which leads to the shrinking of blood vessels and hair loss. Early treatment targeting this receptor could be more effective.
research Baldness and testicular cancer: the EPSAM case-control study
Bald men may have a lower risk of testicular cancer.
research Lack of specificity of cytokeratin-15 loss in scarring alopecias
Cytokeratin-15 loss is not specific to any single type of scarring alopecia.
research Epidermal Cells Expressing Putative Cell Markers in Nonglabrous Skin Existing in Direct Proximity with the Distal End of the Arrector Pili Muscle
Certain skin cells near the base of hair muscles may help renew and stabilize skin, possibly affecting skin disorder understanding.
research BIOMAGNETISM AS FACTOR IN RED BLOOD CELLS DEFORMATION
Biomagnetic forces can deform red blood cells, not just mechanical factors.
research Expression and Cellular Localization of Keratinocyte Growth Factor and Its Receptor in Human Hyperplastic Prostate Tissue1
KGF and its receptor are found in enlarged prostate tissue and KGF strongly increases cell growth.
research Possible association between androgenic alopecia and risk of prostate cancer and testicular germ cell tumor: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Baldness, especially at the front, may lower the risk of testicular cancer by 31%, but its link to prostate cancer is unclear.
research Vertex balding, plasma insulin-like growth factor 1, and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3
Men with balding at age 45 had higher IGF-1 and lower IGFBP-3 levels, suggesting these factors might influence male pattern baldness.
research Hair Follicle Regeneration
The book "Hair Follicle Regeneration" discusses the potential of regenerating human hair follicles or activating dormant ones as a possible cure for baldness, and the promising role of new technologies like 3D printing in this field.
research Cue masking and cultural signals: Testing context-specific preferences for bald(ing) leaders
Baldness and shaved heads change how traits are seen but don't really affect leader preferences.
research An Antifungal for Antidiuresis?
Fluconazole might be a new treatment for a type of diabetes that affects water balance in the body.
research Lack of concordance and linkage disequilibrium among brothers for androgenetic alopecia and CAG/GGC haplotypes of the androgen receptor gene in Mexican families
No clear link between specific gene and hair loss in Mexican brothers.
research Something From Nothing: Seeking a Sense of Self
Communication shapes our sense of self.
