research Serum Dickkopf-1 Level in Patients of Cicatricial and Non-Cicatricial Alopecia
People with non-scarring hair loss have higher levels of DKK-1, a protein linked to hair growth, than those with scarring hair loss or no hair loss.
research Updates in the Pathogenesis of Alopecia Areata
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition causing hair loss, linked to genetic factors and immune system issues, with no cure yet.
research Imbalance of T-Helper 17 and Regulatory T Cells in Patients with Alopecia Areata
People with alopecia areata have more Th17 cells and fewer Treg cells, which may be key to the condition's development.
research Cytokine Profiling in Primary Cicatricial Alopecia: Androgenic Alopecia and Leptin Connections
Certain inflammatory molecules and leptin may contribute to hair loss in cicatricial alopecia.
research Pathogenesis of Alopecia Areata and Vitiligo: Commonalities and Differences
Alopecia areata and vitiligo share immune system dysfunction but differ in specific immune responses and affected areas.

community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

1 year ago Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

1 year ago The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.
community You will lose hair if your prostaglandins aren't in balance
Prostaglandin balance affects hair loss, particularly in conditions like Lichen Planopilaris, where an imbalance can lead to hair follicle damage. Treatments mentioned include prostaglandin analogs and Pioglitazone HCL, with a focus on maintaining prostaglandin equilibrium for potential hair regrowth.
community Efficacy and Tolerability of N-Acetyl-Cysteine for Treatment of The Early-onset Androgenetic Alopecia in Men
N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) was found to improve hair parameters in men with early-onset androgenetic alopecia, showing increased terminal hair count and decreased vellus hair count, with good tolerability. NAC, used alone or with minoxidil, may help due to its antioxidant properties, though its effectiveness can vary among individuals.
community Perifollicular Fibrosis and its role in androgenetic alopecia. Is Aminexil/Kopexil a must for anyone with AGA?
Aminexil/Kopexil may help reduce hair loss by addressing perifollicular fibrosis in androgenetic alopecia, but it lacks the extensive clinical backing of finasteride and minoxidil. Some users find it effective, but availability and cost are issues, especially in the US where it's not FDA-approved.
