research Topical minoxidil in early male pattern baldness
Minoxidil promotes hair growth in male pattern baldness.
research Male-pattern baldness susceptibility locus at 20p11
Researchers found a new gene area linked to male-pattern baldness, which, along with another gene, significantly increases the risk of hair loss in men.
research Role of genetics and sex steroid hormones in male androgenetic alopecia and female pattern hair loss: An update of what we now know
Genetics and hormones play a role in male and female hair loss, but more research is needed to fully understand it.
research Patients treated for male pattern hair with finasteride show, after discontinuation of the drug, altered levels of neuroactive steroids in cerebrospinal fluid and plasma
Finasteride affects brain and blood steroids, causing lasting sexual and emotional side effects.
research Male pattern hair loss: current understanding
Genetics and hormones cause hair loss; finasteride treats it safely.
research Dose-response study of topical minoxidil in male pattern baldness
Lowest effective minoxidil concentration is 1%, but 2% works better for male pattern baldness.
research GWAS for male-pattern baldness identifies 71 susceptibility loci explaining 38% of the risk
Researchers found 71 genetic regions linked to male pattern baldness, which account for 38% of its genetic risk.
research Association of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia with Male Pattern Baldness
Men with enlarged prostates often have more severe baldness.
research Use of topical minoxidil in the treatment of male pattern baldness
Minoxidil effectively regrows hair in male pattern baldness.
research Susceptibility variants on chromosome 7p21.1 suggest HDAC9 as a new candidate gene for male-pattern baldness
A gene called HDAC9 might be a new factor in male-pattern baldness.
research Long-term follow-up of men with male pattern baldness treated with topical minoxidil
Minoxidil keeps most hair growth from first year and twice-daily use is better with few side effects.
research A novel finasteride 0.25% topical solution for androgenetic alopecia: pharmacokinetics and effects on plasma androgen levels in healthy male volunteers
New finasteride solution effectively reduces baldness-causing hormone, potentially with fewer side effects.
research Fractional Photothermolysis Laser Treatment of Male Pattern Hair Loss
Laser treatment can stimulate hair growth for male pattern hair loss.
research Biochemical Roles of Testosterone and Epitestosterone to 5α-Reductase as Indicators of Male-Pattern Baldness
High testosterone to epitestosterone ratio in hair could predict male-pattern baldness.
research Hunting the genes in male‐pattern alopecia: how important are they, how close are we and what will they tell us?
Genes play a significant role in male-pattern baldness, and understanding them could lead to new treatments and insights into related health issues.
research Clinical dose ranging studies with finasteride, a type 2 5α-reductase inhibitor, in men with male pattern hair loss
Finasteride effectively treats male pattern hair loss with a 1 mg daily dose.
research The investigation of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome in male patients with early-onset androgenetic alopecia
Early balding men may have insulin resistance, but lifestyle changes can help.
research Which chemicals should be grouped together for mixture risk assessments of male reproductive disorders?
Group a wide range of chemicals, not just phthalates, for assessing risks to male reproductive health.
research Male pattern baldness: current treatments, future prospects
Current treatments for male pattern baldness include minoxidil and finasteride, with new options being developed.
research What may be the markers of the male equivalent of polycystic ovary syndrome?
Some men with early hair loss may have a condition similar to PCOS in women.
research Investigation of the male pattern baldness major genetic susceptibility loci AR/EDA2R and 20p11 in female pattern hair loss
AR/EDA2R gene linked to early-onset female hair loss, but 20p11 gene not involved.

Men who experienced baldness at age 20 may have double the risk of getting prostate cancer.
research Prediction of male-pattern baldness from genotypes
Genetic data can predict male-pattern baldness with moderate accuracy, especially for early-onset cases in some European men.

research Postscreening follow-up of the Finnish Prostate Cancer Screening Trial on putative prostate cancer risk factors: vitamin and mineral use, male pattern baldness, pubertal development and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug use
Late puberty may slightly lower prostate cancer risk, baldness is not linked to overall risk but less so with aggressive types, ibuprofen use may increase risk, and vitamins show no effect on risk.
research Differential expression analysis of balding and nonbalding dermal papilla microRNAs in male pattern baldness with a microRNA amplification profiling method
Certain microRNAs are more common in balding areas and might be involved in male pattern baldness.
