research Defining microRNA signatures of hair follicular stem and progenitor cells in healthy and androgenic alopecia patients
Found microRNA differences in hair cells, suggesting potential treatment targets for hair loss.
research Androgenetic alopecia in policemen: higher prevalence and different risk factors relative to the general population (KCIS no. 23)
Policemen have more hair loss due to obesity, sunlight exposure, and stress.
research Synthesis and in Vitro Evaluation of 4-Substituted N-(1,1-Dimethylethyl)-3-oxo-4-androstene-17.beta.-carboxamides as 5.alpha.-Reductase Inhibitors and Antiandrogens
The new compounds moderately block a specific enzyme and strongly counteract a male hormone, suggesting potential for treating certain male-related health conditions.
research Hair loss
The document concludes that hair loss is common and can be treated with medications like minoxidil or surgical options, and it significantly affects people's psychological well-being.
research 15-deoxy prostaglandin J2, the nonenzymatic metabolite of prostaglandin D2, induces apoptosis in keratinocytes of human hair follicles: a possible explanation for prostaglandin D2-mediated inhibition of hair growth
A substance called 15-deoxy prostaglandin J2 can cause hair follicle cells to die, which might explain how prostaglandin D2 can lead to hair loss.
research The eye and the skin in endocrine metabolic diseases
Diabetes can lead to blindness and skin problems, and managing blood sugar and blood pressure is crucial to prevent these complications.
research Expression of an Olfactomedin-Related Gene in Rat Hair Follicular Papilla Cells
FP-1 is a key protein in rat hair growth, active only during the growth phase.
research Hormonal and reproductive factors and risk of upper gastrointestinal cancers in men: A prospective cohort study within the UK Biobank
Men with frontal male pattern baldness may have a higher risk of gastric cancer.
research Advances in Hair Transplantation: Longitudinal Partial Follicular Unit Transplantation
New hair transplant method allows for hair regrowth in the donor area and less scarring.
research A comprehensive review of biochemical factors in herbs and their constituent compounds in experimental studies on alopecia
Herbs might help with hair loss, but more research is needed to confirm their safety and effectiveness.
research Many Paths to Alopecia via Compromised Regeneration of Hair Follicle Stem Cells
Different problems with hair stem cell renewal can lead to hair loss.
research Raising hairs
Stem cell treatments can potentially treat baldness, with one trial showing hair growth after injecting a hair-stimulating complex, and no safety issues were reported.
research The ‘bald’ phenotype (androgenetic alopecia) is caused by the high glycaemic, high cholesterol and low mineral ‘western diet’
Western diet may cause male pattern baldness; low glycemic diet with magnesium could help.
research Assessing dutasteride-associated sexual dysfunction using the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System
Dutasteride is linked to a higher chance of sexual dysfunction, especially in younger males and the elderly.
research The Use of High-Density SNP Array to Map Homozygosity in Consanguineous Families to Efficiently Identify Candidate Genes: Application to Woodhouse-Sakati Syndrome
Using SNP array testing helped quickly find the gene causing Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome in two related individuals.
research Effects of the selective TrkA agonist gambogic amide on pigmentation and growth of human hair follicles in vitro
Gambogic Amide helps maintain hair color and promotes hair growth.
research Non-apoptotic role for caspase-7 in hair follicles and the surrounding tissue
Caspase-7 has functions in skin and hair that are not related to cell death.
research Progenitor-derived endothelin controls dermal sheath contraction for hair follicle regression
A specific signal from hair cells controls the tightening of the surrounding muscle, which is necessary for hair shedding.
research Androgens in SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus Infections
Men, particularly those with hair loss, are more likely to get the virus, and those with prostate cancer may have milder symptoms. Testosterone's role in the disease is unclear, and the virus doesn't seem to harm male fertility. Women with PCOS might be at higher risk. More research is needed.
research Severity of Alopecia Predicts Coronary Changes and Arterial Stiffness in Untreated Hypertensive Men
Men with severe early-onset baldness may have worse heart artery function and stiffer arteries if they have high blood pressure.
research Trichoscopy criteria for diagnosing female androgenic alopecia.
Trichoscopy is a useful non-invasive method to diagnose female hair loss with high accuracy.
research Sequential cyclic changes of hair roots revealed by dermoscopy demonstrate a progressive mechanism of diffuse alopecia areata over time
Dermoscopy shows that diffuse alopecia areata progresses through specific hair growth stages.
research Early-onset baldness and the risk of aggressive prostate cancer: findings from a case–control study
Men who start balding at age 20 may have a higher chance of getting aggressive prostate cancer.
research Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia Mimicking Alopecia Syphilitica
Frontal fibrosing alopecia can sometimes look like syphilitic hair loss.
research Randomized clinical trial of low-dose oral minoxidil for the treatment of female pattern hair loss: 0.25 mg versus 1 mg
1 mg/day of low-dose oral minoxidil is effective and safe for treating female hair loss.
research Human scalp hair: Modulation by various factors and hormones do estrogens inhibit or stimulate—A perplexing perspective
The effects of estrogen on human scalp hair growth are unclear and need more research.
research Trichoscopy pattern in alopecia areata: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
Yellow dots and short vellus hairs are the most common signs of Alopecia Areata (AA), and trichoscopy can help diagnose AA and track treatment progress.
