Research cited in this study
5 / 5 resultsresearch The Vitamin D Receptor, the Skin and Stem Cells
In this study, researchers observed that the absence of a functional vitamin D receptor in mice leads to impaired hair follicle regeneration due to defects in keratinocyte stem cells, resulting in alopecia.
research Androgens and Hair Loss: An In-Depth Analysis of Androgenetic Alopecia
This review discusses the pathogenesis and treatment of androgenetic alopecia, highlighting genome associations and newer topical formulations, but reports no new clinical results.
research Genome-Wide Scan and Fine-Mapping Linkage Study of Androgenetic Alopecia Reveals a Locus on Chromosome 3q26
This study located a potential genetic link for androgenetic alopecia on chromosome 3q26, marking an early step in identifying new susceptibility genes for male pattern baldness.
research Transplants from Balding and Hairy Androgenetic Alopecia Scalp Regrow Hair Comparably Well on Immunodeficient Mice
This study found that miniaturized hair follicles from pattern alopecia can regenerate rapidly when transplanted onto mice and may grow as well as or better than terminal hairs.
research Finasteride
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate and may help with baldness, but effects on sexual function and male fetuses are unclear.
