This study found that 87% of patients with stage IIA and IIB melanoma treated with low-dose alpha-interferon reported cutaneous side effects, with the most common being hair loss.

This study concluded that alpha(1)-adrenoceptor antagonists are more effective than finasteride in the short term for reducing symptoms of lower urinary tract symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia.

This study observed that finasteride use among men with benign prostatic hyperplasia was associated with a decreased incidence of low-grade prostate cancer but not high-grade tumors.

This article reviews hair growth patterns in humans and laboratory animals, noting the random distribution of active and inactive hair follicles and differences in regional coordination among animal species, and reports no new results.

In this study, researchers found that intestine-derived human alpha defensin 5 enhances wound healing, reduces bacterial load, and promotes hair growth in murine burn wound beds by increasing LGR stem cell migration.

This study suggests that the absence of alpha5(IV)/alpha6(IV) chains in certain subepidermal basement membrane spots may relate to interactions with melanocytes in human skin.

This study found that α-MSH administration before skin wounding in adult mice reduced inflammation and scar area, suggesting a potential pathway to more regenerative healing.

This study found that the molecular structure of hair is more sensitive to synchrotron X-ray radiation than its supramolecular architecture, indicating potential concerns for biological analyses using such radiation.

In this study, severe hair loss occurred in PKC epsilon transgenic mice treated with DFMO during skin tumor prevention, highlighting a link between polyamine biosynthesis, hair follicle maintenance, and metastasis suppression.

In this study, the researchers reported extensive gene loss and high pseudogenization rates of α-keratin genes in cetaceans compared to terrestrial mammals, likely linked to hair loss and aquatic adaptations.

This study found that using a combination of Alginate-TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofiber-α-tocopherol membranes and Pluronic-α-tocopherol hydrogels facilitated better wound healing in diabetic rats through enhanced angiogenesis and no observable toxicity compared to using each treatment individually.

This study found that low-dose topical alpha-terthienyl combined with UVA radiation can induce cutaneous photosensitization in guinea pigs, suggesting a possible photochemotherapy approach for skin diseases like psoriasis.

This study investigated the use of dissolving microneedle patches to improve the skin-lightening effects of alpha-arbutin and resveratrol, finding that the patches enhanced intradermal delivery and slightly decreased the melanin index without affecting skin hydration or causing irritation over 24 hours.

This study found that alpha-tocopherol acetate did not demonstrate any protective effect against hair loss induced by doxorubicin in patients with solid tumors.

This article reviews the diverse regulatory roles of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone in skin biology, highlighting its potential involvement in maintaining tissue homeostasis and protecting against inflammation-induced DNA damage but reports no new clinical findings.

ACTH promotes hair growth in mink, but α-MSH does not.

This study found that combining 5-alpha reductase inhibitors with alpha-blockers provided the best symptomatic relief and reduced the risk of clinical progression for BPH, while PDE5 inhibitors could offset sexual side effects.

This review found that finasteride monotherapy for managing LUTS/BPH significantly reduced prostate volume and improved symptoms, with sexual dysfunctions reported as notable side effects compared to placebo, but emphasizes the need for more comprehensive studies.

This review discusses the known effects of medications for benign prostatic hyperplasia on sexual function and mechanisms of dysfunction but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that Alpha Lipoic Acid may help reduce cigarette smoke-induced skin damage in rats by improving collagen structure and reducing markers of oxidative stress.

This study found no significant difference between alpha-blockers and finasteride in contributing to erectile dysfunction among men with other risk factors, with age and other underlying conditions being stronger influences.

This study found that combining 4 mg doxazosin with 0.2 mg tamsulosin improved urinary symptoms with fewer vasodilatory side effects compared to a higher dose of doxazosin in hypertensive males with LUTS.

Men using 5-alpha reductase inhibitors for prostate issues may have a slightly higher risk of blood clots.

This study found that α-ketoglutarate protected dermal papilla cells from oxidative stress by enhancing the Nrf2 pathway and mitigating cell damage through the ERK/Nrf2 axis.

Taking dutasteride every other day works as well as daily and better preserves sexual function.

This study found that IsoPSA's ability to detect both any prostate cancer and clinically actionable prostate cancer remains unaffected by medications like 5-ARIs and α-blockers, which are commonly used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia symptoms.

This study found that the topical application of a mixture of Platycladus orientalis leaf extract and α-terpineol promoted hair growth in mice by inducing early anagen transition and increasing growth factor expressions.

This study observed that in mouse fetuses, reticular contraction by actomyosin is involved in dermal regeneration, and differences in actin and α-SMA localization may determine the switch between regeneration and scar formation, suggesting potential insights for wound regeneration therapy.

This study found that TRP-hair essence significantly protected and improved the quality of human hair, particularly against heat stress, by enhancing cuticle health and maintaining hair color.

This study found that in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia, 5-alpha reductase inhibitors significantly increased the risk of gynecomastia and breast tenderness compared to placebo or alpha-blockers.
