research Minoxidil downregulates Interleukin-1 alpha gene expression in HaCaT cells
Minoxidil may help treat hair loss by reducing inflammation-related gene activity in skin cells.
research Activity of type 1 5α-reductase is greater in the follicular infrainfundibulum compared with the epidermis
The enzyme type 1 5α-reductase is more active in the hair follicle's lower part than in the skin's outer layer.
research Effect of MK-386, a novel inhibitor of type 1 5 alpha-reductase, alone and in combination with finasteride, on serum dihydrotestosterone concentrations in men.
MK-386 and finasteride together effectively reduce DHT levels, potentially treating acne and male pattern baldness.
research Niche formed by bone morphogenetic protein antagonists gremlin 1 and gremlin 2 in human hair follicles
Gremlin proteins help regulate hair growth by balancing signals in hair follicles.

research A response to “Male balding is a major risk factor for severe COVID-19”
The authors suggest that scalp hair might protect against COVID-19 and call for more research on scalp health and the virus.
research Reply to: “Comment on ‘Androgenetic alopecia present in the majority of patients hospitalized with COVID-19’”
High incidence of hair loss found in COVID-19 patients, but no severity correlation established.
research Male‐pattern baldness, common latent viruses, and microcompetition
Common latent viruses might contribute to male-pattern baldness by disrupting cell processes that normally suppress hair loss-related proteins.
research Treatment of Nonclassic 11-Hydroxylase Deficiency with Ashwagandha Root
