      research Androgenetic Alopecia: An Update on Pathogenesis and Pharmacological Treatment

      August 2025 in “Drug Design Development and Therapy”
      This review provides an update on the pathogenesis and pharmacological treatment of androgenetic alopecia (AGA), emphasizing the complexity of its treatment due to factors like androgen metabolism, inflammation, and energy metabolism disorders. It discusses the efficacy and limitations of current treatments, including FDA-approved finasteride and minoxidil, and explores alternative therapies such as ketoconazole shampoo, isotretinoin, botulinum toxin, melatonin, and prostaglandin analogues. The review highlights promising results from combination therapies, such as minoxidil with spironolactone, and the potential of caffeine and adenosine as alternatives. Despite these advances, the need for further large-scale studies to validate efficacy and optimize treatment strategies is emphasized.

      January 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings”
      The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
