Androgenetic Alopecia And Hair Growth Promotion: Present And Future

This article discusses current and future research on androgenetic alopecia and hair growth promotion. Current research focuses on drugs that promote hair growth, while future research aims to identify new targets for hair growth promotion and personalized treatments for patients. The article explains the role of androgens and genetics in baldness and outlines the four phases of research on hair growth promotion. The focus is on finding active hair growth-promoting sites on drug molecules. The document discusses potential drugs for promoting hair growth, including Minoxidil, Diazoxide, Viprostol, and Cyclosporine A. These drugs have been found to enhance DNA synthesis and keratinocyte reproduction or selectively inhibit T-helper cells, making them potential candidates for future hair growth treatments. The article also explores the potential role of cyclic AMP in hair follicle control and growth.
