research Role of genetics and sex steroid hormones in male androgenetic alopecia and female pattern hair loss: An update of what we now know
Genetics and hormones play a role in male and female hair loss, but more research is needed to fully understand it.
research Epidemiology of skin cancer in the mature patient
Older adults have a high rate of skin cancers like basal cell carcinoma and melanoma, mainly due to UV exposure and age.
research There is no clear association between low serum ferritin and chronic diffuse telogen hair loss
Low iron levels are not directly linked to chronic hair loss and iron supplements may not help.
research Hair colouring, permanent styling and hair structure
Frequent hair coloring and styling can damage hair and cause breakage or loss.
research Racial variations in COVID‐19 deaths may be due to androgen receptor genetic variants associated with prostate cancer and androgenetic alopecia. Are anti‐androgens a potential treatment for COVID‐19?
Genetic differences may affect COVID-19 deaths; anti-androgens could be potential treatment.
research Permanent alopecia following chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation
Chemotherapy and bone marrow transplant can cause permanent hair loss.
research Frequency of the Types of Alopecia at Twenty-Two Specialist Hair Clinics: A Multicenter Study
The most common hair loss type at specialist clinics is androgenetic alopecia, especially in younger men, followed by alopecia areata and telogen effluvium, with differences seen across regions.
research Chronic telogen effluvium: A study of 5 patients over 7 years
Most patients with chronic hair shedding did not progress to permanent hair loss, and one showed improvement with treatment.
research A review of the treatment of male pattern hair loss
Finasteride and minoxidil work best together for hair loss.
research Minoxidil 1 mg oral versus minoxidil 5% topical solution for the treatment of female-pattern hair loss: A randomized clinical trial
Oral minoxidil and topical minoxidil 5% both effectively improve female-pattern hair loss with safe side effects.
research Finasteride for female androgenetic alopecia
Finasteride increases hair density in female androgenetic alopecia, but individual results may vary.
research Anti‐androgens may protect against severe COVID‐19 outcomes: results from a prospective cohort study of 77 hospitalized men
Anti-androgens, like finasteride, dutasteride, and spironolactone, may lessen the severity of COVID-19 in men, leading to fewer ICU admissions.
research Treatment of alopecia universalis with topical Janus kinase inhibitors – a double blind, placebo, and active controlled pilot study
Topical JAK inhibitors may help treat alopecia universalis by promoting hair regrowth.
research The Ludwig pattern of androgenetic alopecia is due to a hierarchy of androgen sensitivity within follicular units that leads to selective miniaturization and a reduction in the number of terminal hairs per follicular unit
Ludwig pattern hair loss in women results from varying sensitivity in hair follicles, causing fewer visible hairs.
research Cyclosporine for moderate-to-severe alopecia areata: A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial of efficacy and safety
Cyclosporine showed some improvement in alopecia areata but results were not statistically significant.
research Proxalutamide Reduces the Rate of Hospitalization for COVID-19 Male Outpatients: A Randomized Double-Blinded Placebo-Controlled Trial
Proxalutamide significantly lowered hospital admissions for male COVID-19 patients compared to a placebo.
research Men with Kennedy disease have a reduced risk of androgenetic alopecia
Men with Kennedy disease have less chance of hair loss.
research Chronic telogen effluvium is due to a reduction in the variance of anagen duration
Chronic hair shedding may be caused by less variation in hair growth times and might stop on its own after several years.
research Male pattern baldness: current treatments, future prospects
Current treatments for male pattern baldness include minoxidil and finasteride, with new options being developed.
research Trichodynia and telogen effluvium in COVID-19 patients: Results of an international expert opinion survey on diagnosis and management
COVID-19 patients often experience hair loss and scalp pain, which may be related to the severity of their infection and treatment drugs.
research Safety of low-dose oral minoxidil for hair loss: A multicenter study of 1404 patients
Low-dose oral minoxidil safely treats hair loss, with hypertrichosis as main side effect.
research Platelet-Rich Plasma as a Treatment for Androgenetic Alopecia
PRP therapy increases hair density for androgenetic alopecia.
research Morphological Approach to Hair Disorders
Accurate clinical, histological, and genetic methods are key for understanding and treating hair disorders.
research Treatment of monilethrix with oral minoxidil
Oral minoxidil shows promise in treating monilethrix-related hair loss.
research 5‐alpha‐reductase inhibitors are associated with reduced frequency of COVID‐19 symptoms in males with androgenetic alopecia
5-alpha-reductase inhibitors may reduce COVID-19 symptoms in bald males.
research Destruction of the arrector pili muscle and fat infiltration in androgenic alopecia
Hair loss in male pattern baldness involves muscle degeneration and increased scalp fat.
research Androgenetic alopecia: new insights into the pathogenesis and mechanism of hair loss
New model shows muscle affects hair loss differently in men and women.
research The lack of significant changes in scalp hair follicle density with advancing age
Aging alone barely affects the number of hair follicles, meaning hair loss is minimal without other conditions like androgenetic alopecia.
research Beyond goosebumps: Does the arrector pili muscle have a role in hair loss?
The arrector pili muscle might play a role in hair loss and needs more research to understand its impact.
