August 2024 in “Medicine” This study found that medroxyprogesterone acetate and ethinyl estradiol with drospirenone were the most frequently prescribed medications for PCOS, with some patients experiencing drug changes or discontinuation due to side effects or therapeutic failure.
September 2023 in “Nature Communications” In this study, the researchers found that rare genetic variants make a minor contribution to male-pattern hair loss risk, identifying five significant gene associations, including novel genes, and noting a shared basis with monogenic hair loss disorders.
May 2023 in “Experimental Dermatology” In this viewpoint, researchers discussed the possible role of the developmental origin of scalp dermis in influencing the specific pattern of hair follicle miniaturization seen in male pattern hair loss, noting that frontal follicles are more susceptible while occipital follicles remain largely terminal.
November 2022 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found a minimal overall contribution of rare coding variants to male-pattern hair loss but identified significant associations with rare variants in 125 genes, including novel candidate genes.
July 2019 in “Journal of Dermatology and Dermatologic Surgery” This study found no significant link between headcover use and the severity of male-pattern hair loss among adult males, with age being the only associated factor.
