research Regenerative Hair Waves in Aging Mice and Extra-Follicular Modulators Follistatin, Dkk1, and Sfrp4
Aging mice have slower hair regeneration due to changes in signal balance, but the environment, not stem cell loss, controls this, suggesting treatments could focus on environmental factors.
research Central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia: Past, present, and future
CCCA is a hair loss type affecting African women, possibly caused by grooming and chemicals, with various treatments and needing more research.
research Outcome of long-term treatment with the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride in idiopathic hirsutism: clinical and hormonal effects during a 1-year course of therapy and 1-year follow-up
Finasteride effectively reduces hair growth in women with idiopathic hirsutism, but requires careful contraception during treatment.
research Therapeutic strategy for hair regeneration: hair cycle activation, niche environment modulation, wound-induced follicle neogenesis, and stem cell engineering
The conclusion is that hair growth can be improved by activating hair cycles, changing the surrounding environment, healing wounds to create new hair follicles, and using stem cell technology.
research Minoxidil: An Underused Vasodilator for Resistant or Severe Hypertension

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 Replicative stress, stem cells and aging
Maintaining DNA health in stem cells is key to preventing aging and tissue breakdown.
research Local heroes or villains: tissue-resident memory T cells in human health and disease
Tissue-resident memory T cells can protect against infections and cancer but may also contribute to autoimmune diseases.
research What do we know about phytotherapy of benign prostatic hyperplasia?

research Finasteride in the treatment of alopecia
Finasteride effectively treats male pattern baldness, improving hair growth and density.
research Wnt Signaling and Aging-Related Heart Disorders
Wnt signaling may be linked to heart diseases in aging and could be a target for future treatments.
research Midazolam Ameliorates the Behavior Deficits of a Rat Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Model through Dual 18 kDa Translocator Protein and Central Benzodiazepine Receptor and Neurosteroidogenesis
Midazolam reduces PTSD-like behavior in rats by acting on specific brain receptors.
research Matriptase activation and shedding with HAI-1 is induced by steroid sex hormones in human prostate cancer cells, but not in breast cancer cells
Steroid sex hormones activate matriptase in prostate cancer cells but not in breast cancer cells.
research Treatment with and withdrawal from finasteride alter ethanol intake patterns in male C57BL/6J mice: Potential role of endogenous neurosteroids?
Finasteride affects alcohol intake in male mice, possibly due to neurosteroids.
