The dietary supplement helped increase hair growth in women with hair loss.
research Efficacy and safety of diphenylcyclopropenone alone or in combination with anthralin in the treatment of chronic extensive alopecia areata: A retrospective case series
Combining diphenylcyclopropenone with anthralin is more effective for hair regrowth in alopecia areata than using diphenylcyclopropenone alone, but may cause more side effects.
research Non polycystic ovary syndrome–related endocrine disorders associated with hirsutism
Hirsutism can be caused by various conditions besides PCOS, and it's important to treat the underlying issue and manage symptoms with medication and cosmetic approaches.
research Vertical vs. Transverse Sections
Both vertical and transverse sections are useful for diagnosing alopecia, but using both methods together is best.
research Topical Minoxidil
Minoxidil promotes hair regrowth, but more research needed for effectiveness and response factors.

research In Support of Follicular Unit Transplantation
The document concludes that Follicular Unit Hair Transplantation is a more precise and effective method for hair restoration.
research Topical Calcipotriol versus oral vitamin D in the treatment of alopecia areata
Rubbing calcipotriol on the skin works better than taking vitamin D pills for treating mild to moderate alopecia areata.
research A case of systemic mastocytosis - an ultrastructural and immunohistochemical study of the dermal mast cells in relation to activation of the epidermal melanin unit
Prednisone reduces organ mast cell infiltration but does not alter the abnormal appearance of mast cells in systemic mastocytosis.
research Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
Eating 500 fewer calories a day and making lifestyle changes can improve PCOS symptoms and reduce diabetes risk; more research is needed on its causes and treatments.
research Targeting Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway for Developing Therapies for Hair Loss

research Telogen effluvium
Chronic Telogen Effluvium may resolve after years and is diagnosed by examining the patient's history and clinical signs, with treatment aimed at underlying causes and possibly minoxidil.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome and insulin-resistant hyperinsulinemia
Insulin resistance contributes to hormone imbalances in many women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Management of Hirsutism
Antiandrogens, particularly flutamide and CPA, are most effective for treating hirsutism, with long-term use needed for best results.
research Male androgenetic alopecia
