Low-level laser therapy improves hair growth and dermal papilla cell function.
research The natural history of androgenetic alopecia
AGA affects many, progresses differently, and early treatment is crucial.
research Experimental and early investigational drugs for androgenetic alopecia
New hair loss treatments may include topical medications, injections, and improved transplant methods.
research Update on the Genetics of Androgenetic Alopecia, Female Pattern Hair Loss, and Alopecia Areata: Implications for Molecular Diagnostic Testing
Genetic factors affect hair loss, and molecular testing may help predict, diagnose, and treat it.
research Androgenic alopecia: A counterproductive outcome of the anabolic effect of androgens
Male pattern baldness is an unintended side effect of the body's use of androgens for muscle growth, especially in those genetically prone to it.
research Alopecia - the search for novel agents continues
Many potential alopecia treatments need more testing to confirm they promote acceptable hair growth with minimal side effects.
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 The tendency towards the development of psychosexual disorders in androgenetic alopecia according to the different stages of hair loss: a cross-sectional study
More hair loss leads to higher risk of psychosexual disorders, especially in women.
research Halo naevi, vitiligo and diffuse alopecia areata associated with tocilizumab therapy
Tocilizumab therapy may cause skin and hair conditions like halo naevi, vitiligo, and alopecia areata.
research Increased DHEAS and Decreased Total Testosterone Serum Levels in a Subset of Men with Early-Onset Androgenetic Alopecia: Does a Male PCOS-Equivalent Exist?
Some men with early hair loss may have a male version of PCOS, affecting hormones and increasing health risks.
research Some Trace Elements' Level in Alopecia Areata
Alopecia areata patients have lower zinc, copper, and selenium levels than healthy people.
research Hyperactivity and alopecia associated with ingestion of valproic acid in a cat
A cat's hyperactivity and hair loss were caused by eating valproic acid but improved after stopping access to the drug.
research Androgenetic alopecia in heterozygous carriers of a mutation in the human hairless gene
Mutation in hairless gene may increase hair loss risk.
research Proposed mechanisms of low-level light therapy in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia
LLLT helps treat hair loss by increasing blood flow, reducing inflammation, and stimulating growth factors.
research Hair transplantation in burn scar alopecia
Hair transplantation effectively treats burn scar alopecia, improving self-esteem and confidence.
research Frontal fibrosing alopecia: a review of eleven patients
Most treatments for Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia are ineffective, but early anti-inflammatory therapy may help and the condition may stabilize over time.
research Alopecia: Association with Resistance to Thyroid Hormones
A specific thyroid hormone resistance mutation may be linked to different types of hair loss.
research Humanized CXCL12 antibody delays onset and modulates immune response in alopecia areata mice: insights from single-cell RNA sequencing
A humanized CXCL12 antibody may delay and treat alopecia areata by altering the immune response.
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 Dermal papilla cells and melanocytes response to physiological oxygen levels depends on their interactions
Low oxygen levels improve the function of hair and skin cells when they are in direct contact.
research Examination of androgenetic alopecia with serum biomarkers
Serum biomarkers like insulin-like growth factor-1 and vitamin D may help diagnose androgenetic alopecia.
research Implications of cigarette smoking on early‐onset androgenetic alopecia: A cross‐sectional Study
Smoking increases early hair loss risk in men; quitting may help prevent it.
