Cyclosporin doesn't stop hair loss.
research Immunohistochemical localization of types 1 and 2 5α-reductase in human scalp
The study found that two enzymes linked to hair loss are located in different parts of the scalp, supporting a common treatment's effectiveness.
research Pharmacophore and Atom Based 3D QSAR Studies on the Novel 5-Alpha-Reductase Inhibitors
The developed model can predict effective 5-alpha-reductase enzyme inhibitors.
research Effect of betulin oil on hair growth in hypothyroidism- a long-term blinded pilot study
Betulin oil doesn't stop hair loss or help regrow hair in hypothyroidism.
research Novel inhibitors of 5α-reductase
New research is needed to create better drugs that block the enzyme responsible for conditions like male baldness and prostate enlargement.
research Progressive Alopecia Reveals Decreasing Stem Cell Activation Probability during Aging of Mice with Epidermal Deletion of DNA Methyltransferase 1
Mice lacking a key DNA methylation enzyme in skin cells have a lower chance of activating stem cells necessary for hair growth, leading to progressive hair loss.
research Foxp3 Post-translational Modifications and Treg Suppressive Activity
Changes to the Foxp3 protein affect how well regulatory T cells can control the immune system, which could help treat immune diseases and cancer.
research Expression of mRNA for androgen receptor, 5alpha-reductase and 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in human dermal papilla cells
Hair sensitivity to androgens is partly controlled by specific enzyme expressions in different hair areas.
research Hair loss and herbs for treatment
Herbs can potentially treat hair loss by inhibiting a key enzyme and promoting hair growth, and deficiencies in zinc, biotin, and iron are linked to hair loss.
research Evidence for Increased 5α-Reductase Activity During Early Childhood in Daughters of Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Young girls whose mothers have PCOS may have higher activity of a specific enzyme that could lead to developing PCOS later.
research Anthracycline analogs The past, present, and future
Epirubicin is as effective as doxorubicin for cancer treatment with less heart damage, but doesn't work on doxorubicin-resistant cancers.
research Alcohol Exposure During Late Adolescence Increases Drinking in Adult Wistar Rats, an Effect that is not Reduced by Finasteride
Alcohol in teen years leads to more adult drinking, finasteride doesn't help.
research Finasteride
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate, shrinks it, improves urination, but may cause sexual dysfunction and isn't for women or children.
research DNA dioxygenases Tet2/3 regulate gene promoter accessibility and chromatin topology in lineage-specific loci to control epithelial differentiation
The enzymes Tet2 and Tet3 are important for skin cell development and hair growth.
research Procyanidin B-2, extracted from apples, promotes hair growth: a laboratory study
Apple extract called procyanidin B-2 was found to greatly increase hair growth.
research Overexpression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α in hidradenitis suppurativa: the link between deviated immunity and metabolism
Increased HIF-1α is linked to the inflammation and severity of hidradenitis suppurativa, suggesting treatments that lower HIF-1α could help.
