12 / 12 resultsresearch Androgenetic Alopecia: Diagnosis and Treatment with a Focus on Recent Genetic Implications
research Androgens and Hair Growth
Androgens can both increase and decrease hair growth in different parts of the body.
research Stem Cell Factor/c-Kit Signaling in Normal and Androgenetic Alopecia Hair Follicles
SCF and c-Kit decrease in AGA hair follicles, possibly affecting hair pigmentation and growth.
research Dihydrotestosterone-Inducible Dickkopf 1 from Balding Dermal Papilla Cells Causes Apoptosis in Follicular Keratinocytes
A substance called DKK-1 increases in balding areas and causes hair cells to die when exposed to DHT.
research Psychological Effect, Pathophysiology, and Management of Androgenetic Alopecia in Men
Minoxidil and finasteride can slow hair loss and stimulate regrowth, but won't restore all lost hair or reverse complete baldness.
research Different Gene Expression Profile Observed in Dermal Papilla Cells Related to Androgenic Alopecia by DNA Macroarray Analysis
Hair loss in balding individuals is linked to changes in specific hair growth-related genes.
research Gene Delivery to the Hair Follicle
Gene therapy shows promise for treating hair loss by targeting hair follicles.
research Identification of Androgen-Inducible TGF-β1 Derived from Dermal Papilla Cells as a Key Mediator in Androgenetic Alopecia
TGF-β1 from dermal papilla cells suppresses hair growth, and targeting it may help treat androgenetic alopecia.

Researchers developed a quick and easy way to get and grow cells from the base of human hair follicles.
research The Hair Follicle: A Paradoxical Androgen Target Organ
Androgens can both promote and prevent hair growth due to differences in gene expression in hair follicles.
