research Trans‐species hair growth induction by human hair follicle dermal papillae
Human hair follicle cells can grow hair when put into mouse skin if they stay in contact with mouse cells.
research Prospective investigation of risk factors for prostate cancer in the UK Biobank cohort study
Black ethnicity, prior PSA tests, enlarged prostate, and family history increase prostate cancer risk; Asian ethnicity, obesity, smoking, diabetes, and less sexual activity or no children decrease risk.
research A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial to Determine the Effectiveness of Botanically Derived Inhibitors of 5-α-Reductase in the Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia
Plant extracts effectively reduce hair loss and increase growth, offering a safe alternative treatment.
research The effects of finasteride on scalp skin and serum androgen levels in men with androgenetic alopecia
Finasteride effectively reduces hair loss by decreasing androgen levels.
research Meta-analysis identifies novel risk loci and yields systematic insights into the biology of male-pattern baldness
Researchers found 63 genes linked to male-pattern baldness, which could help in understanding its biology and developing new treatments.
research Efficacy of myo-inositol in the treatment of cutaneous disorders in young women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Myo-inositol helps improve skin conditions and metabolic profiles in young women with PCOS.
research Control of Human Hair Growth by Neurotrophins: Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Inhibits Hair Shaft Elongation, Induces Catagen, and Stimulates Follicular Transforming Growth Factor β2 Expression
Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) slows down hair growth and promotes hair follicle regression.
research DRUG‐ASSOCIATED ALOPECIA
Some drugs can cause hair loss, and stopping these drugs often leads to hair regrowth.
research Genome-wide Scan and Fine-Mapping Linkage Study of Androgenetic Alopecia Reveals a Locus on Chromosome 3q26
Hair loss gene found on chromosome 3q26.
research Finasteride in the treatment of alopecia
Finasteride effectively treats male pattern baldness, improving hair growth and density.
research Treatment of MSCs with Wnt1a-conditioned medium activates DP cells and promotes hair follicle regrowth
Wnt1a-conditioned medium from stem cells helps activate cells important for hair growth and can promote hair regrowth.
research Baldness and the androgen receptor: the AR polyglycine repeat polymorphism does not confer susceptibility to androgenetic alopecia
AR polyglycine repeat doesn't cause baldness.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome and insulin-resistant hyperinsulinemia
Insulin resistance contributes to hormone imbalances in many women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Functional complexity of hair follicle stem cell niche and therapeutic targeting of niche dysfunction for hair regeneration
Understanding how hair follicle stem cells work can help find new ways to prevent hair loss and promote hair growth.
research The impact of oxidative stress on hair
Oxidative stress damages hair and contributes to aging, and managing it can help maintain hair health.
research Multi-layered environmental regulation on the homeostasis of stem cells: The saga of hair growth and alopecia
Environmental factors at different levels control hair stem cell activity, which could lead to new hair growth and alopecia treatments.
research The diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome: the criteria are insufficiently robust for clinical research
The current methods for diagnosing polycystic ovary syndrome are too vague and may lead to misdiagnosis and problems in research.
research Male pattern hair loss: current understanding
Genetics and hormones cause hair loss; finasteride treats it safely.
research Sulfation of minoxidil by multiple human cytosolic sulfotransferases
Minoxidil breakdown varies by enzymes, affecting hair loss treatment effectiveness.
research The effect of finasteride, a 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor, on scalp skin testosterone and dihydrotestosterone concentrations in patients with male pattern baldness.
Finasteride reduces scalp DHT levels, potentially treating male pattern baldness.
research Exosomes derived from human dermal papilla cells promote hair growth in cultured human hair follicles and augment the hair‐inductive capacity of cultured dermal papilla spheres
Exosomes from human skin cells can stimulate hair growth and could potentially be used for treating hair loss.
research Review of quality of life studies in women with alopecia
Alopecia significantly lowers women's quality of life, with psychological and social challenges, highlighting the importance of early treatment and support.
research Pattern Hair Loss in Men
Male pattern hair loss caused by follicular miniaturization; early diagnosis and treatment can reduce psychological burden.
research Regulatory roles of androgens in cutaneous wound healing
Testosterone may slow down wound healing and increase inflammation.
research HAIR AND SYSTEMATIC DISEASE
Hair loss can indicate underlying systemic diseases and addressing these can sometimes reverse the hair loss.
research Dose-response study of topical minoxidil in male pattern baldness
Lowest effective minoxidil concentration is 1%, but 2% works better for male pattern baldness.
research GWAS for male-pattern baldness identifies 71 susceptibility loci explaining 38% of the risk
Researchers found 71 genetic regions linked to male pattern baldness, which account for 38% of its genetic risk.
research Reorganization of hair follicles in human skin organ culture induced by cultured human follicle-derived cells
