research Drug discovery for alopecia: gone today, hair tomorrow
Topical drugs and near-infrared light therapy show potential for treating alopecia.
research Dissection of genetic variation and evidence for pleiotropy in male pattern baldness
Male pattern baldness is mostly inherited, involves many genes, and is linked to other traits like early puberty and strong bones.
research Early embryonic exposure of freshwater gastropods to pharmaceutical 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors results in a surprising open-coiled “banana-shaped” shell
Certain drugs change freshwater snail shells to a "banana" shape.
research Sexual Problems of Men With Androgenic Alopecia Treated With 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors
Men using hair loss drugs like finasteride may experience sexual side effects like erectile dysfunction, but it's unclear who will be affected and when. Treating depression and sexual symptoms is suggested, as these men often have higher rates of both. More research is needed to understand why these side effects occur.
research Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, February 13–16, 2013
The document concludes that various findings in rheumatology offer insights into disease severity, treatment responses, and potential risks in medication, with some limitations due to unspecified participant numbers.

research Reflectance confocal microscopy can differentiate dermoscopic white dots of the scalp between sweat gland ducts or follicular infundibulum
Reflectance confocal microscopy can tell apart white dots on the scalp as either sweat gland ducts or hair follicle openings.
research Co-administration of 5α-reductase Inhibitors Worsens the Adverse Metabolic Effects of Prescribed Glucocorticoids
Taking 5α-reductase inhibitors with prednisolone can worsen its negative effects on metabolism.
research A prostaglandind-synthase-positive mast cell gradient characterizes scalp patterning
Certain immune cells are more common on the top of the head and might help predict or treat common hair loss.
research Synergizing biomaterials and cellular molecular pathways: a new frontier in hair follicle generation
Combining biomaterials and cell pathways can improve hair follicle regeneration.
research Measurement of Steroid Hormones in Hair: an Analysis of Hormone Dynamics in Hair Follicles

research Fibroblast heterogeneity: implications for human disease
Different types of fibroblasts play various roles in diseases and healing, and more research on them could improve treatments.
research Necrosis of the donor site after hair restoration with follicular unit extraction (FUE): A case report
A patient had skin tissue death at the hair removal site after a hair transplant, which was treated with surgery.
research Intraovarian vascular enhancement via stromal injection of platelet-derived growth factors: Exploring subsequent oocyte chromosomal status and in vitro fertilization outcomes
Injecting platelet-derived growth factors into ovaries may improve IVF outcomes by enhancing egg quality and embryo health.
research Cutaneous wound healing: canine allogeneic ASC therapy
Using stem cells from fat tissue can significantly improve wound healing in dogs.
research Effective high-throughput isolation of enriched platelets and circulating pro-angiogenic cells to accelerate skin-wound healing
Angio PRP speeds up skin wound healing and reduces inflammation.
research Integrated Transcriptomics and Metabolomics Analyses of Stress-Induced Murine Hair Follicle Growth Inhibition
Chronic stress in mice changes skin metabolism and gene expression, leading to hair loss.
research Effect of Topical Grape Sap on Apoptosis in Hair Follicle Among Male Rats
Grape sap may help reduce hair loss and promote hair growth in rats.
