16 / 16 results

research Evaluation of Efficacy and Safety of Finasteride 1 mg in 3177 Japanese Men with Androgenetic Alopecia

41 citations , October 2011 in “Journal of Dermatology”

This study observed that long-term use of finasteride in Japanese men with androgenetic alopecia was associated with progressive hair regrowth in 87.1% of participants without significant safety concerns.

research Medical Treatments for Male and Female Pattern Hair Loss

212 citations , September 2008 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology”

This review discusses the various treatment options for male and female pattern hair loss and provides no new clinical results; the authors outline the most effective strategies based on existing evidence.

research EDA2R Is Associated With Androgenetic Alopecia

82 citations , April 2008 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

EDA2R gene linked to hair loss.

research L-Carnitine-L-Tartrate Promotes Human Hair Growth In Vitro

26 citations , October 2007 in “Experimental Dermatology”

This study found that l-carnitine stimulated hair growth in vitro by promoting proliferation and reducing apoptosis in human scalp hair follicles, suggesting potential as a treatment for hair loss.

research Indications That Topical L-Carnitine-L-Tartrate Promotes Human Hair Growth In Vivo

13 citations , September 2007 in “Journal of dermatological science”

research Effect of 5α-Dihydrotestosterone and Testosterone on Apoptosis in Human Dermal Papilla Cells

58 citations , January 2006 in “Skin Pharmacology and Physiology”

This study found that testosterone and 5α-dihydrotestosterone induced apoptosis in dermal papilla cells from nonbalding scalp regions, suggesting a high androgen stimulus can trigger cell death related to androgenetic alopecia.

research Apoptosis Coordinates With Proliferation And Differentiation During Human Hair Follicle Morphogenesis

7 citations , March 2005 in “Journal of dermatological science”

This study found that apoptosis, along with proliferation, plays a crucial role in shaping and extending human hair follicles by coordinating the formation and differentiation of the hair canal.

research Evaluation and Treatment of Male and Female Pattern Hair Loss

203 citations , December 2004 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology”

This article reviews the historical developments in understanding and treating male pattern hair loss, emphasizing the role of dihydrotestosterone and 5α-reductase inhibitors, but reports no new clinical findings.

research Androgen Action on Human Skin – From Basic Research to Clinical Significance

147 citations , October 2004 in “Experimental dermatology”

This paper reviews the role of androgens in human skin function and the challenges in developing treatments for androgen-associated disorders, reporting no new experimental results.

research Molecular Mechanisms of Androgenetic Alopecia

229 citations , August 2002 in “Experimental Gerontology”

This paper discusses key mechanisms of androgen metabolism in androgenetic alopecia and reports the effectiveness of treatments like oral finasteride and topical minoxidil, highlighting the limited success rate due to factors like follicular inflammation.

research Towards a Molecular Understanding of Hair Loss and Its Treatment

236 citations , July 2001 in “Trends in Molecular Medicine”

This review discusses common hair loss conditions and explores how advancements in hair follicle biology might lead to more effective treatments but reports no new results.

research Hair Diameter Diversity: A Clinical Sign Reflecting Follicle Miniaturization

41 citations , May 2001 in “PubMed”

This study proposes a new clinical scoring method for hair density based on hair diameter diversity, which correlates with existing measures and reflects follicle miniaturization in androgenetic alopecia.

research Treatment of Hair Loss

370 citations , September 1999 in “The New England Journal of Medicine”

This article discusses the treatment of androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata with finasteride and minoxidil but reports no new clinical results.

research The Biology of Hair Follicles

1113 citations , August 1999 in “The New England Journal of Medicine”

This article discusses the biologic and psychosocial significance of hair, the current limitations in hair growth drugs, and anticipates future therapies based on advancing hair follicle research.

research Apoptosis and Cutaneous Biology

60 citations , June 1997 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology”

This review discusses the basic biology of apoptosis and its relevance to skin diseases, without presenting new research findings.

research The Inheritance Of Common Baldness: To Be Or Not To Be?

203 citations , November 1984 in “Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology”

This study presents evidence suggesting that androgenetic alopecia is most likely inherited through a polygenic model, challenging the traditional view that it is caused by a simple Mendelian autosomal dominant gene.
