research The therapeutic use of topical contact sensitizers in benign dermatoses
Topical contact sensitizers can treat certain skin conditions but are rarely used in the U.K.
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 Symmetry breaking of tissue mechanics in wound induced hair follicle regeneration of laboratory and spiny mice
Tissue stiffness affects hair follicle regeneration, and Twist1 is a key regulator.
research The Androgen Receptor and Its Use in Biological Assays: Looking Toward Effect-Based Testing and Its Applications
Scientists have developed a new method to detect steroid abuse in athletes using cell-based tests, which could be the future of anti-doping methods.
research Iron deficiency and hair loss: The jury is still out
More research is needed to determine if iron deficiency causes hair loss.
research Pharmacokinetic parameters and mechanisms of inhibition of rat type 1 and 2 steroid 5α-reductases: determinants for different in vivo activities of GI198745 and finasteride in the rat 3 3Abbreviations: r5AR1, rat 5α-reductase 1; r5AR2, rat 5α-reductase 2; and DHT, dihydrotestosterone.
GI198745 is more potent and longer-lasting than finasteride, potentially better for treating hair loss.
research INTERFERONS IN DERMATOLOGY
Interferons are effective for some skin conditions and cancers, but can have side effects and need more research for optimal use.
research Androgenic effects of oral contraceptives: Implications for patient compliance
Newer low-dose oral contraceptives with less androgenic effects improve patient compliance.
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 Mechanisms of repigmentation induced by photobiomodulation therapy in vitiligo
Light therapy using helium-neon lasers can help restore skin color in vitiligo by promoting skin cell growth and movement.
research Human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells engineered to overexpress growth factors accelerate outcomes in hair growth
Modified stem cells from umbilical cord blood can make hair grow faster.
research Contribution of hair density and hair diameter to the appearance and progression of androgenetic alopecia in Japanese men
Hair thickness matters more than density for baldness in Japanese men over 25.
research Zinc: A complementary factor in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C? (Review)
Zinc supplementation may help improve treatment outcomes for chronic hepatitis C.
research 5α‐Reductase inhibitors and prostatic disease
5α-Reductase inhibitors can help treat hair loss, acne, and prostate issues by reducing DHT levels.
research Shampoos and hair conditioners
Good haircare and communication with doctors are key for managing hair loss.
research Dupilumab induces hair regrowth in pediatric alopecia areata: a real-world, single-center observational study
Dupilumab helps children with alopecia areata regrow hair safely.
research IL-12/IL-23 neutralization is ineffective for alopecia areata in mice and humans
Blocking IL-12/IL-23 does not help with hair loss in alopecia areata for mice or humans.
research Integrative analysis of rare copy number variants and gene expression data in alopecia areata implicates an aetiological role for autophagy
The research suggests that autophagy-related genes might play a role in causing alopecia areata.
research Opening new horizons in regenerative dermatology using platelet‐based autologous therapies
Platelet-based therapies using a patient's own blood show promise for skin and hair regeneration but require more research for confirmation.
research Age-Related Hair Pigment Loss
Graying hair happens due to aging and might be delayed by new treatments.
research Hair and scalp disorders in women of African descent: an overview
The document concludes that clinicians should be aware of common hair and scalp disorders in women of African descent and that more research is needed to develop effective treatments.
research Peripheral blood gene expression in alopecia areata reveals molecular pathways distinguishing heritability, disease and severity
Blood tests can help understand the genetic differences in people with alopecia areata, including how severe it is and if it's inherited.
research Differential proteomics of lesional vs. non-lesional biopsies revealed non-immune mechanisms of alopecia areata
Non-immune factors play a significant role in alopecia areata.
research Alopecia Areata is Associated with Increased Expression of Heart Disease Biomarker Cardiac Troponin I
People with alopecia areata have higher levels of a heart disease marker than those without hair loss.
research Effect of Ultraviolet Radiation, Smoking and Nutrition on Hair
Ultraviolet rays damage hair, smoking may cause hair loss, and good nutrition is important for hair health, but genetics mainly decide hair thickness.
research Chemotherapy-induced iatrogenic injury of skin: New drugs and new concepts
New chemotherapy drugs cause skin side effects, but treatments like minocycline and tetracycline can help reduce them.
research CLINICAL UPDATES IN HAIR
Most treatments for hair loss in 1997 were not effective for most people, and maintaining hair growth was difficult.
research Physiopathological role of the enzymatic complex 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase in the generation of progesterone and testosterone neuroactive metabolites
The enzymes 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase help create brain-active substances from progesterone and testosterone, which could be used for treatment, but more research is needed to ensure their safety and effectiveness.
