research In silico analysis of gene expression data from bald frontal and haired occipital scalp to identify candidate genes in male androgenetic alopecia
Found 32 genes linked to male baldness, affecting hair growth and stress-related pathways.
research 313 Different polyamine levels in the vertex and occipital hair of pattern hair loss patients
People with pattern hair loss have higher polyamine levels in the top of their head compared to the back.
research PARIETAL AND OCCIPITAL HAIR LOSS PATTERNS IN INITIAL STAGES OF ANDROGENIC ALOPECIA IN MEN
Early-stage male pattern baldness shows two types of hair loss: one on the top of the head linked to hormonal changes, and another at the back of the head. The top hair loss responds well to specific treatment, while the back hair loss does not.
research Classification of the types of androgenetic alopecia (common baldness) occurring in the female sex
Common baldness, also known as Androgenetic Alopecia, is caused by a combination of genetic factors and hormones called androgens.
research Perception of Baldness and Hair Density
Early baldness is noticed due to both reduced hair density and thinner hair shafts.

5 / 60 resultscommunity Occipitalis Muscle Tension Theory
Scalp tension from the occipitalis muscle is theorized to contribute to hair loss, but most believe DHT and genetics are the main causes. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are considered more effective than addressing scalp tension.
community Does DHT Cause Complete Baldness?
Hair cloning technology is advancing, with clinical trials for improved methods expected by 2028 and 2029, potentially offering a solution for hair loss if donor follicles remain. Organtech's expansion into other biotech areas may secure funding, but the effectiveness of cloning depends on the availability of androgen-resistant donor follicles.
community Interesting article links major MPB theories to western diet (and life-style)
Poor diet and lifestyle contribute to male pattern baldness. Treatments like Minoxidil, dietary changes, and lifestyle adjustments may help slow hair loss.
community I don’t know what to do at this point
A 21-year-old woman with female pattern baldness has tried minoxidil, red light therapy, and supplements without success. She is considering spironolactone and seeking medical advice.
community Scalp tension and thickness of the galea aponeurotica, inflammation and potential treatment pathways
Scalp tension potentially affecting hair loss, and potential treatments for male pattern baldness such as Minoxidil, Finasteride and RU58841. Evidence from a study was discussed which suggests that the cause of MPB lies within the follicle itself and is not dependent on its surrounding environment.
