This study concluded that heredity is associated with hair loss, while lifestyle and stress factors are not significantly related.
research Use of the TrichoScan to Assess Female Pattern Hair Loss
This study found that miniaturization of hair is present in some women with androgenetic alopecia, but diagnosis may also be based on differences in hair shaft diameter between scalp regions.
research Quality of Life Issues in Male Pattern Hair Loss
Male pattern hair loss negatively affects quality of life, but drug treatments can help.
research Occipital involvement in female pattern hair loss: histopathological evidences
This study found that the occipital scalp is significantly involved in female pattern hair loss, with some patients showing clinically visible alopecia.
research Male-Pattern Baldness in Men with X-Linked Recessive Ichthyosis
This study found that men with X-linked recessive ichthyosis did not show mutual exclusivity with androgenetic alopecia, as some exhibited advanced hair loss.
research Examining the Safety and Efficacy of Low-Level Laser Therapy for Male and Female Pattern Hair Loss: A Review of the Literature
This study reviewed clinical trials and found that low-level laser therapy significantly increased hair diameter or density in both men and women with pattern hair loss compared to a sham device, though the involvement of industry relationships in some studies suggests cautious interpretation.
research t-Flavanone Improves the Male Pattern of Hair Loss by Enhancing Hair-Anchoring Strength: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study
This study found that t-flavanone may promote hair growth in people with androgenic alopecia by enhancing hair anchoring strength and upregulating desmoglein expression in hair follicles over 30 weeks.
research Efficacy and safety of 3% minoxidil versus combined 3% minoxidil / 0.1% finasteride in male pattern hair loss: a randomized, double-blind, comparative study.
This study found that while the combination therapy of 3% minoxidil and 0.1% finasteride lotion showed greater improvement in global photographic assessments for androgenetic alopecia, hair counts did not differ significantly from minoxidil alone.
research Male-Pattern Baldness Is Common in Men with X-Linked Recessive Ichthyosis
This study reviewed 26 cases of X-linked recessive ichthyosis and observed 11 patients with advanced-stage androgenetic alopecia, suggesting a compensatory role of two steroid biosynthesis pathways.
research Male Pattern Baldness
This review discusses available treatments for androgenetic alopecia in men, like finasteride and 5% minoxidil, and notes that hair growth results are unpredictable and often driven by industry-sponsored studies.
research Cicatricial pattern hair loss is not a variant of lichen planopilaris
This letter argues that cicatricial pattern hair loss likely represents end-stage androgenetic alopecia and not a variant of lichen planopilaris, as previously suggested.
research Severity of androgenetic alopecia associated with poor sleeping habits and carnivorous eating and junk food consumption—A web‐based investigation of male pattern hair loss in China
Poor sleep, meat-heavy diets, and junk food worsen hair loss, while sugary drinks may help.
research Androgenetic alopecia (male pattern hair loss) in the United States: What treatments should primary care providers recommend?
This review evaluates six primary studies on androgenetic alopecia treatments and suggests topical minoxidil or finasteride as first-line options, recommending further research into treatments and practice guidelines.
research Clinical Patterns of Hair Loss in Men
This article reviews potential therapeutic targets and comorbidities associated with male androgenetic alopecia, but reports no new clinical results; further study is needed for comprehensive management.
research Notes from the Editor Emeritus: Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) in Patients with Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA): Does It Work?
This article discusses the mixed perceptions and potential profitability of PRP therapy in hair treatment, but does not report new clinical results.
research Male pattern baldness and its management: an update.
This review examines current medical and surgical treatments for androgenetic alopecia, including medications like minoxidil and advancements in hair transplantation techniques, without providing new clinical findings.
research Two different trichoscopic patterns of mid-frontal scalp in patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia and clinical features of androgenetic alopecia
This study identified two distinct trichoscopic patterns in the mid-frontal scalp of patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia who also display clinical features of androgenetic alopecia.
research Distinctive age distribution and hair loss pattern putatively highlighting uniqueness of Japanese cases of fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution
This study analyzed 24 Japanese cases of fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution and found a distinctive "parachute" hair loss pattern, emphasizing unique clinical characteristics potentially influenced by racial factors.
research Female Pattern Hair Loss in Female and Male: A Quantitative Trichoscopic Analysis in Chinese Han Patients
In this study, female pattern hair loss in Chinese Han patients was characterized by decreased hair density and shaft diameter, with minor gender differences and the vertex most affected.
