Finasteride significantly reduces hair growth in women with idiopathic hirsutism.
research Influence of interleukin‐1α on androgen receptor expression and cytokine secretion by cultured human dermal papilla cells
Interleukin‐1 α reduces androgen receptor levels and increases certain cytokines in human scalp cells.
research Identification of Trichohyalin-Like 1, an S100 Fused-Type Protein Selectively Expressed in Hair Follicles
TCHHL1 is a protein important for hair growth, found in hair follicles.
research Do follicles matter? Testing the effect of follicles on hair cortisol levels
Hair follicles increase hair cortisol levels, so consistent hair collection methods are important.
research SERUM-CONCENTRATIONS OF Dehydroepyandrosterone-sulfate IN MEN WITH ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA
Men with hair loss don't necessarily have higher levels of the hormone DHEA-S, but this hormone tends to decrease with age.
research Modulation of Murine Hair Follicle Function by Alterations in Ornithine Decarboxylase Activity
Ornithine decarboxylase is crucial for hair growth regulation in mice.
research 676 Wnt and SHH interact to determine hair follicle dermal condensate fate
Wnt and SHH signals together influence hair follicle cell development, offering insights for hair loss treatment.
research Natural Product-Inspired Bis(trifluoromethyl) Phenyl Hydroxycinnamate Derivatives as Promising Nonsteroidal Inhibitors of Human Steroid 5α-Reductase Type-1: Synthesis, In Vitro, and In Silico Studies

research Intralesional vitamin D3 versus intralesional triamcinolone acetonoid in patchy alopecia areata: a comparative clinical and dermoscopic study
Intralesional vitamin D3 is an effective and safe treatment for patchy alopecia areata with fewer side effects.
research Human type 3 5α-reductase is expressed in peripheral tissues at higher levels than types 1 and 2 and its activity is potently inhibited by finasteride and dutasteride
Type 3 5α-reductase is more common and finasteride and dutasteride strongly inhibit it.
research Effect of MK-386, a novel inhibitor of type 1 5 alpha-reductase, alone and in combination with finasteride, on serum dihydrotestosterone concentrations in men.
MK-386 and finasteride together effectively reduce DHT levels, potentially treating acne and male pattern baldness.
