research Near Infrared (NIR) Light Therapy of Eye Diseases: A Review
NIR light therapy may effectively treat eye diseases and improve brain function without side effects.
research Novel agents for the treatment of alopecia
New treatments for hair loss show promise, especially finasteride for men and a stronger minoxidil formula.
research Topical Minoxidil
Minoxidil promotes hair regrowth, but more research needed for effectiveness and response factors.
research Rooster feathering, androgenic alopecia, and hormone-dependent tumor growth: What is in common?
Sex hormones affect hair and feather growth and may help manage alopecia and hormone-dependent cancers.
research Finasteride: The First 5α-Reductase Inhibitor
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate and baldness, but may cause limited urinary improvement and sex-related side effects.
research Consequences of steroid-5α-reductase deficiency and inhibition in vertebrates
Lack or blocking of SRD5a, a key component in hormone creation, can lead to conditions like pseudohermaphrodism and affect hair growth, bone mass, muscle strength, and reproductive health. More research is needed on its regulation from fertilization to adulthood.
research The efficacy of latanoprost in the treatment of alopecia areata of eyelashes and eyebrows
Latanoprost, a glaucoma treatment, was found ineffective in treating hair loss in eyebrows and eyelashes.
research Exposure of Xenopus laevis tadpoles to finasteride, an inhibitor of 5-α reductase activity, impairs spermatogenesis and alters hypophyseal feedback mechanisms
Finasteride exposure harms tadpole reproduction and hormone balance.
research Targets to treat androgen excess in polycystic ovary syndrome
The conclusion is that while oral contraceptive pills are effective for PCOS-related high androgen levels, new treatments with fewer side effects are needed.
research Progress and prospects: gene therapy for performance and appearance enhancement
Gene therapy shows promise for enhancing physical traits but faces ethical, safety, and regulatory challenges.
research STATUS OF MEDICAL TREATMENT FOR ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA
Minoxidil effectively promotes hair regrowth in younger patients with small balding areas.
research Wild geladas (Theropithecus gelada) in crops—more than in pasture areas—reduce aggression and affiliation
Wild geladas in crop areas show less grooming and aggression.
research Chapter 23. Therapeutic Control of Androgen Action
Understanding how androgens work is key for creating new treatments for prostate issues and hair/skin conditions.
research Prenatal Androgenization of Ewes as a Model of Hirsutism in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Prenatally androgenized ewes can model increased hair diameter in women with PCOS.
research Development of a Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry-Based Inhibition Assay for the Screening of Steroid 5-α Reductase in Human and Fish Cell Lines
A new method was created to test the effectiveness of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, in human and fish cells. The results showed fish cells are more sensitive to these treatments, and dutasteride works better than finasteride in all tested cells.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: Overview
AGA is a genetic, hormonal hair loss treated with finasteride, minoxidil, and supplements, but new compounds are being developed.
research Abstracts
Get head MRI for babies with achondroplasia early, use free immunoglobulin light chains to detect certain neurodevelopmental disorders, and video calls work for speech therapy in patients with facial anomalies.
research A partially automated method for DNA extraction from marmoset hair follicles to avoid blood chimerism
The method effectively extracts high-quality DNA from marmoset hair, avoiding blood chimerism.
research Transfollicular drug delivery—Is it a reality?
Hair follicles may soon be used more for targeted and systemic drug delivery.
research Hormonal regulation of hair follicles exhibits a biological paradox
Androgens can both stimulate and cause hair loss, and understanding their effects is key to treating hair disorders.
research Development and characterization of minoxidil-loaded liposomal system for delivery to pilosebaceous units
Minoxidil-loaded liposomes effectively deliver to hair follicles, potentially improving hair growth and treating alopecia.
research Evaluation of hair growth promoting activity of Musa paradisiaca unripe fruit extract
