Mothers have more hair proteins than their children, with age-related differences in protein patterns, and some proteins in hair could indicate early childhood development.
research Spironolactone versus placebo or in combination with steroids for hirsutism and/or acne
Spironolactone is better than placebo for reducing excessive hair growth in women, but its effectiveness for acne is unclear due to small study sizes.
research Runx1 Role in Epithelial and Cancer Cell Proliferation Implicates Lipid Metabolism and Scd1 and Soat1 Activity
Runx1 controls fat-related genes important for normal and cancer cell growth, affecting skin and hair cell behavior.
research Variation in male sex hormone levels among the pattern subtypes of hair loss in patients with androgenetic alopecia
Different hair loss patterns may be linked to varying male hormone levels.
research Male Pattern Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgens contribute to common male hair loss; more research needed for hair growth medication.
research Understanding the biochemical properties of human hair keratins : self-assembly potential and cell response
Human hair keratins can self-assemble and support cell growth, useful for biomedical applications.
research Hair follicles and their role in skin health
Hair follicles are essential for skin health, aiding in hair growth, wound healing, and immune function.
research Androgens in women
Androgens play a complex role in skin conditions like acne and hair loss in women, and normal blood levels don't always show true androgen status.
research Abstracts
Young HS patients often have other physical and mental health issues, and research on HS covers a wide range of topics including genetics, triggers, treatments, and the need for more data.
research Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeting 5-α-Reductase Inhibitors to the Hair Follicle
Nanostructured delivery systems could potentially improve hair loss treatment by targeting drugs to hair follicles, reducing side effects and dosage, but the best size, charge, and materials for these systems need further investigation.
research Effect of dose reduction of dutasteride in combination with alpha-blockers in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms/benign prostatic enlargement
Taking dutasteride every other day works as well as daily and better preserves sexual function.
research Safety and efficacy of a topical treatment (SM04554) for androgenetic alopecia (AGA): Results from a phase 1 Trial
Dutasteride more effective than finasteride for hair growth; SM04554 safe and potentially effective for hair loss.
research Therapeutic potential of Ishophloroglucin a from Ishige okamurae in androgenic alopecia: inhibition of 5α-reductase activity and activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in human dermal papilla cells
Ishophloroglucin A from Ishige okamurae may be a natural alternative for treating hair loss by inhibiting 5α-reductase and promoting hair growth.
research Limits of Visual Detection for Finasteride Polymorphs in Prepared Binary Mixtures: Analysis by X‐ray Powder Diffraction
research The Modulation of Aromatase and Estrogen Receptor Alpha in Cultured Human Dermal Papilla Cells by Dexamethasone: A Novel Mechanism for Selective Action of Estrogen via Estrogen Receptor Beta?
Dexamethasone may influence hair growth by altering estrogen receptor activity in hair cells.
research Reductive Stress Selectively Disrupts Collagen Homeostasis and Modifies Growth Factor-independent Signaling Through the MAPK/Akt Pathway in Human Dermal Fibroblasts
Reductive stress messes up collagen balance and alters cell signaling in human skin cells, which could help treat certain skin diseases.
research Botulinum Toxin Type A Alleviates Androgenetic Alopecia by Inhibiting Apoptosis of Dermal Papilla Cells via Targeting circ_0135062/miR-506-3p/Bax Axis
Botox can help prevent hair loss by blocking cell death in scalp cells.
research Wound Healing Impairment in Type 2 Diabetes Model of Leptin-Deficient Mice—A Mechanistic Systematic Review
Leptin-deficient mice, used as a model for Type 2 Diabetes, have delayed wound healing due to impaired contraction and other dysfunctional cellular responses.
research Efficacy of topical tofacitinib in promoting hair growth in non-scarring alopecia: possible mechanism via VEGF induction
Topical tofacitinib may grow hair better than minoxidil by increasing VEGF and reducing inflammation.
research Finasteride use during pregnancy and early neonatal outcome: a case report
Baby born healthy despite mom taking finasteride, but more research needed.
research Ginsenoside F2 Reduces Hair Loss by Controlling Apoptosis through the Sterol Regulatory Element-Binding Protein Cleavage Activating Protein and Transforming Growth Factor-β Pathways in a Dihydrotestosterone-Induced Mouse Model
Ginsenoside F2 may help prevent hair loss and promote hair growth better than finasteride.
