research Dutasteride Micro-Injections in Androgenetic Alopecia
Small injections of dutasteride improved hair thickness in men with hair loss without major side effects.
research Androgenetic alopecia at various ages and prostate cancer risk in an equal-access multiethnic case–control series of veterans
Early balding, especially frontal, increases prostate cancer risk; more research needed.
research Low-level laser therapy and narrative review of other treatment modalities in androgenetic alopecia
LLLT is a safe, promising hair loss treatment, but more research needed.
research Molecular mechanisms of androgenetic alopecia
AGA causes hair loss by shrinking hair follicles due to DHT binding, and can be treated with finasteride and minoxidil.
research Prostaglandin D 2 Inhibits Hair Growth and Is Elevated in Bald Scalp of Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
PGD2 stops hair growth and is higher in bald men with AGA.
research Genetic Variation in the Human Androgen Receptor Gene Is the Major Determinant of Common Early-Onset Androgenetic Alopecia
Genetic variation in the androgen receptor gene mainly causes early-onset hair loss, with maternal inheritance playing a key role.
research Fortnightly review: Male pattern androgenetic alopecia
Hair loss in men is common, treatable, but not curable.
research Androgenetic alopecia: pathogenesis and potential for therapy
Hair loss needs more research for better treatments.
research Decreased Serum Ferritin is Associated With Alopecia in Women
Low iron levels may be linked to some types of hair loss in women.
research S1 guideline for diagnostic evaluation in androgenetic alopecia in men, women and adolescents
Guidelines for diagnosing common hair loss include detailed history, clinical examination, and various diagnostic techniques.
research Finasteride increases anagen hair in men with androgenetic alopecia
Finasteride helps increase hair growth in men with hair loss.
research Psychological Effect, Pathophysiology, and Management of Androgenetic Alopecia in Men
Minoxidil and finasteride can slow hair loss and stimulate regrowth, but won't restore all lost hair or reverse complete baldness.
research Androgenetic alopecia and cardiovascular risk factors in men and women: A comparative study
Hair loss linked to higher heart disease risk in both men and women.
research Hair follicle stem cell differentiation is inhibited through cross‐talk between Wnt/β‐catenin and androgen signalling in dermal papilla cells from patients with androgenetic alopecia
Androgens block hair growth by disrupting cell signals; targeting GSK-3 may help treat hair loss.
research Follicular delivery of spironolactone via nanostructured lipid carriers for management of alopecia
Using nanostructured lipid carriers to deliver spironolactone could improve treatment for hair loss.
research Androgenetic alopecia: An update
Minoxidil and finasteride effectively treat hair loss.
research Six Novel Susceptibility Loci for Early-Onset Androgenetic Alopecia and Their Unexpected Association with Common Diseases
Six new genetic regions linked to early hair loss also connect to Parkinson's disease and prostate cancer, possibly leading to new treatments.
research Stem cells from human hair follicles: first mechanical isolation for immediate autologous clinical use in androgenetic alopecia and hair loss
Stem cells from hair follicles can safely treat hair loss.
research Treatments for Androgenetic Alopecia and Alopecia Areata
Minoxidil and finasteride treat hair loss; more research needed for other options.
research Racial variations in COVID‐19 deaths may be due to androgen receptor genetic variants associated with prostate cancer and androgenetic alopecia. Are anti‐androgens a potential treatment for COVID‐19?
Genetic differences may affect COVID-19 deaths; anti-androgens could be potential treatment.
research Association of androgenetic alopecia with metabolic syndrome in men: a community-based survey
Balding men, especially young ones, may have higher risk of heart issues and diabetes; check cholesterol levels.
research Safety and efficacy of topical minoxidil in the management of androgenetic alopecia
Minoxidil helps hair growth and prevents hair loss in androgenetic alopecia. It's safe and effective.
research Finasteride in the treatment of alopecia
