research Growth factors and cytokines in hair follicle development and cycling: recent insights from animal models and the potentials for clinical therapy
Growth factors and cytokines are important for hair growth and could potentially treat hair loss, but more research is needed to overcome challenges before they can be used in treatments.
research Endocrine control of benign prostatic hyperplasia
Hormones and metabolism play a complex role in prostate enlargement, and more research is needed to improve diagnosis and treatment.
research Clinical use of conditioned media of adipose tissue-derived stem cells in female pattern hair loss: a retrospective case series study
ADSC-CM treatment improved hair density and thickness in women with hair loss, safely and effectively.
research The Use of Platelet-Rich Plasma in Aesthetic and Regenerative Medicine: A Comprehensive Review
Platelet-rich plasma may help in skin and hair treatments, and with muscle and joint healing, but more research is needed to fully understand its benefits and limitations.
research Acne and Systemic Disease
Hormones, especially androgens, play a key role in acne, which can be a symptom of systemic diseases like PCOS and may require targeted treatment.
research Prospective investigation of risk factors for prostate cancer in the UK Biobank cohort study
Black ethnicity, prior PSA tests, enlarged prostate, and family history increase prostate cancer risk; Asian ethnicity, obesity, smoking, diabetes, and less sexual activity or no children decrease risk.
research Promotional Effect of Platelet-Rich Plasma on Hair Follicle Reconstitution in vivo
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) increases the number of new hair follicles and speeds up hair formation.
research A Mechanistic Model of Platelet-Rich Plasma Treatment for Androgenetic Alopecia
PRP treatment may stimulate hair growth by promoting blood vessel formation, increasing growth factors, and preventing cell death.
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 Exosomes derived from human dermal papilla cells promote hair growth in cultured human hair follicles and augment the hair‐inductive capacity of cultured dermal papilla spheres
Exosomes from human skin cells can stimulate hair growth and could potentially be used for treating hair loss.
research Meta-analysis of efficacy of platelet-rich plasma therapy for androgenetic alopecia
PRP therapy may effectively treat hair loss, but more research needed.
research Androgenetic alopecia and insulin resistance in young men
Hair loss in young men linked to higher risk of insulin resistance and metabolic issues.
research Skin steroidogenesis in health and disease
The skin's ability to produce hormones is linked to various skin conditions, and better understanding this process could lead to new treatments.
research Wnt/β‐catenin and ERK pathway activation: A possible mechanism of photobiomodulation therapy with light‐emitting diodes that regulate the proliferation of human outer root sheath cells
LED light therapy may help hair growth by activating certain cell pathways.
research Pseudoacromegaly induced by the long-term use of minoxidil
Long-term minoxidil use can cause pseudoacromegaly, but stopping it improves symptoms.
research Treatment of hirsutism by finasteride and flutamide in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Finasteride and flutamide effectively reduce hirsutism in PCOS women, with flutamide also lowering hormone levels.
research Procyanidin B‐3, isolated from barley and identified as a hair‐growth stimulant, has the potential to counteract inhibitory regulation by TGF‐β1
Barley extract, specifically procyanidin B-3, can promote hair growth and counteract growth inhibition.
research Androgenetic alopecia and risk of prostate cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Vertex pattern hair loss linked to higher prostate cancer risk.
research Use of Insulin-Sensitizing Agents in Patients With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Insulin-sensitizing drugs like metformin can help with ovulation, weight loss, and lower testosterone in some women with PCOS.
research Microneedles mediated bioinspired lipid nanocarriers for targeted treatment of alopecia
A new hair loss treatment uses tiny needles to deliver a drug-loaded lipid carrier, promoting hair growth more effectively than current treatments.
research Efficacy of topical tofacitinib in promoting hair growth in non-scarring alopecia: possible mechanism via VEGF induction
Topical tofacitinib may grow hair better than minoxidil by increasing VEGF and reducing inflammation.
research Mind the Gap: Sex Bias in Basic Skin Research
The document concludes that there is a significant lack of reporting on the sex and age of cells in skin research, which could affect clinical trials and treatments.
research Cell Cycle Regulation and Regeneration
Mice that can regenerate tissue have cells that pause in the cell cycle, which is important for healing, similar to axolotls.
research Enhancing hair growth in male androgenetic alopecia by a combination of fractional CO2 laser therapy and hair growth factors
Laser therapy and hair growth factors significantly improve hair density in male baldness.
research Hormonal therapies for acne
Hormonal treatments can improve acne, but they come with potential side effects and risks.
research A randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled clinical study of hair regeneration using adipose-derived stem cell constituent extract in androgenetic alopecia
ADSC-CE treatment safely increases hair density and thickness in androgenetic alopecia patients.
research Hair Growth Promotion Activity and Its Mechanism ofPolygonum multiflorum
Polygonum multiflorum can promote hair growth when taken orally or applied topically.
research Alopecia and platelet-derived therapies
Platelet lysate is more effective than activated autologous platelet-rich plasma or saline in improving hair growth after hair restoration surgery.
research Effectiveness of Finasteride on Patients with Male Pattern Baldness Who Have Different Androgen Receptor Gene Polymorphism
Finasteride works better for baldness in people with shorter gene repeats.
