research 5α-Reductase inhibitors in androgenetic alopecia
Finasteride and dutasteride effectively treat hair loss in men and women, but may cause side effects like low libido and depression.
research Insulin-like growth factor-1: roles in androgenetic alopecia
IGF-1 affects hair loss and could be a potential treatment.
research The endocrinology of baldness
Hormones and genetics play key roles in male and female baldness, which can affect mental health and may be linked to other health issues.
research Cause of Androgenic Alopecia
Male pattern baldness may be caused by scalp pressure on hair follicles, which increases with age and leads to a cycle of hair loss. This process is not directly determined by genes.
research What Ages Hair?
Hair aging and loss are caused by genetics, hormones, environment, and grooming, with treatments like minoxidil effective for certain types of hair loss.
research Clinical profile of androgenic alopecia and its association with cardiovascular risk factors
Men with early-onset hair loss have more heart disease risk factors.
research Cutaneous immunopathology of androgenetic alopecia
Inflammation may play a role in causing androgenetic alopecia.
research Break Dancing: A New Risk Factor for Scarring Hair Loss
Break dancing on the head may cause a type of scarring hair loss that needs early treatment to prevent permanent damage.
research Androgenic alopecia: A counterproductive outcome of the anabolic effect of androgens
Male pattern baldness is an unintended side effect of the body's use of androgens for muscle growth, especially in those genetically prone to it.
research Alopecia areata incognita: a comment
The author clarified that Alopecia Areata Incognita (AAI) and diffuse Alopecia Areata (AA) are different conditions and the case discussed was actually AA, not AAI.
research Association of androgenetic alopecia with metabolic syndrome: A case–control study on 100 patients in a tertiary care hospital in South India
Androgenetic alopecia is significantly linked to metabolic syndrome.
research Molecular Genetics of Alopecias
Scientists have found specific genes linked to different hair loss conditions, which could lead to new treatments.
research Increased DHT levels in androgenic alopecia have been selected for to protect men from prostate cancer
Higher DHT in male baldness may protect against prostate cancer.
research Genetic Variants at 20p11 Confer Risk to Androgenetic Alopecia in the Chinese Han Population
Genetic variants at 20p11 increase baldness risk in Chinese Han people.
research Are 2D:4D finger-length ratios an indicator of androgenetic alopecia in males?
Right hand finger ratio may predict male hair loss.
research Trichostasis spinulosa of the scalp mimicking Alopecia Areata black dots
A man's scalp condition was misidentified as hair loss dots but was actually a common follicular disorder.
research Hair characteristics and androgenetic alopecia in Koreans
Korean hair is typically thicker with a slower growth rate, and treatments like Dutasteride are effective for male pattern hair loss without major side effects.
research A study of patterns of androgenetic alopecia in men: an Indian perspective
Indian men have 62.1% hair loss, mostly grade II vertex, and less extensive than other populations.
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 Androgenetic alopecia in COVID-19: Compared to what?
Hair loss link to severe COVID-19 unclear.
research The Association between Exercise and Androgenetic Alopecia: A Survey-Based Study
More exercise might link to hair loss, but other factors also matter.
research Androgenic alopecia may have evolved to protect men from prostate cancer by increasing skin exposure to ultraviolet radiation
Male pattern baldness might have evolved to help protect against prostate cancer by increasing UV radiation on the scalp.
research Minoxidil Nanoparticles Targeting Hair Follicles Enhance Hair Growth in C57BL/6 Mice
Minoxidil nanoparticles significantly boost hair growth in mice compared to regular minoxidil.
research Association of androgenetic alopecia and severity of coronavirus disease 2019
Severe hair loss is linked to worse COVID-19 outcomes, especially in younger men.
research Androgenetic alopecia in women and men is not related to COVID‐19 infection severity: a prospective cohort study of hospitalized COVID‐19 patients
Hair loss doesn't affect COVID-19 severity.
research Comment on “Androgenetic alopecia present in the majority of patients hospitalized with COVID-19”
Hair loss link to COVID-19 severity likely due to other factors.
research Hyperuricemia is associated with androgenetic alopecia in men: A cross‐sectional case‐control study
High uric acid levels link to male pattern baldness, especially in young men.
research The trichotillometry: a technique for hair assessment
Trichotillometry is a reliable method to measure hair strength and assess hair loss treatments.
research Hormone-induced aberrations in electromagnetic adhesion signaling as a developmental factor of androgenetic alopecia
Hormones cause hair loss by affecting cell growth and weakening cell attraction.
