Hair loss in women is genetic, diagnosed by examination and biopsy, and treated with minoxidil, finasteride, or transplantation.
research MELATONIN
Melatonin may help with sleep issues, depression, and cancer, but more research is needed.
research Screening for 21-hydroxylase–deficient nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia among hyperandrogenic women: a prospective study
Testing basal 17-HP levels is a good way to screen for nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia in women with high androgen levels.
research The effects of oestrogens on linear bone growth
Oestrogens are key for bone growth during puberty in both boys and girls.
research Relationship Between Androgen Levels and Blood Pressure in Young Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
High androgen levels in young women with PCOS are linked to higher blood pressure.
research The Hair Follicle as an Estrogen Target and Source
Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.
research Endothelial Dysfunction in PCOS: Role of Obesity and Adipose Hormones
Women with PCOS have heart-related issues not because of obesity, but due to insulin resistance and low adiponectin levels.
research Increased copy number of the TERT and TERC telomerase subunit genes in cancer cells
Cancer cells often have more copies of TERT and TERC genes, which helps them grow and could affect patient outcomes.
research Pathophysiological mechanisms implicated in postpartum depression
Postpartum depression is linked to changes in brain chemicals, inflammation, stress, and certain genes, and can potentially be identified by markers like specific steroids, serotonin levels, and vitamin D levels.
research Estrogens and the skin
Estrogen loss during menopause worsens skin health, but hormone replacement therapy may improve it, though more research is needed.
research Phenotype and metabolic profile of South Asian women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): results of a large database from a specialist Endocrine Clinic
South Asian women with PCOS are more likely to have metabolic issues and central obesity, and simple measures like waist size and blood pressure can help identify these risks early.
research Melatonin and the hair follicle
Melatonin helps regulate hair growth and protects the hair follicle from stress.
research Androgens and androgen receptor action in skin and hair follicles
Male hormones and their receptors play a key role in hair loss and skin health, with potential new treatments being explored.
research Defining hirsutism in Chinese women: a cross-sectional study
An mFG score of 5 or more indicates above-normal hair growth in Southern Chinese women.
research Hair loss in women with hyperandrogenism: Four cases responding to finasteride
Finasteride improves hair loss in women with hyperandrogenism.
research Androgenetic alopecia: An update
Minoxidil and finasteride effectively treat hair loss.
research Six Novel Susceptibility Loci for Early-Onset Androgenetic Alopecia and Their Unexpected Association with Common Diseases
Six new genetic regions linked to early hair loss also connect to Parkinson's disease and prostate cancer, possibly leading to new treatments.
research Effects of the Lexington LaserComb on hair regrowth in the C3H/HeJ mouse model of alopecia areata
The Lexington LaserComb helped regrow hair in mice with a condition similar to human hair loss.
research Activin Controls Skin Morphogenesis and Wound Repair Predominantly via Stromal Cells and in a Concentration-Dependent Manner via Keratinocytes
Activin helps skin growth and healing mainly through stromal cells and affects keratinocytes based on its amount.
research Central hair loss in African American women: Incidence and potential risk factors
Some African American women's central scalp hair loss is linked to genetics and past fungal scalp infections, with more research needed on other causes.
research Acne and Systemic Disease
Hormones, especially androgens, play a key role in acne, which can be a symptom of systemic diseases like PCOS and may require targeted treatment.
research Safety of dermatologic medications in pregnancy and lactation
Most dermatologic medications are safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but some should be avoided due to potential risks.
research Steroid 5α-Reductase as a Novel Therapeutic Target for Schizophrenia and Other Neuropsychiatric Disorders

research Apoptosis May Explain the Pharmacological Mode of Action and Adverse Effects of Isotretinoin, Including Teratogenicity
Isotretinoin's effects and side effects, like birth defects and depression, might be due to it causing cell death in various cells.
research The Paradox of p53: What, How, and Why?
The p53 protein has complex, sometimes contradictory functions, including tumor suppression and promoting cell survival.
research Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) and PPAR agonists: the ‘future’ in dermatology therapeutics?
PPAR agonists show promise for skin conditions but need more research before being a main treatment.
