research Male Balding as a Major Risk Factor for Severe COVID-19: A Possible Role for Targeting Androgens and Transmembrane Protease Serine 2 to Protect Vulnerable Individuals
Severe male balding may increase the risk of serious COVID-19, and treatments that reduce androgens or block a specific enzyme might help protect these individuals.
research Bad Hair Day: Testosterone and Wnt Signaling
Testosterone can both promote hair growth and cause baldness by affecting hair growth signals.
research Hair Aging And Anti-Aging
Hair ages due to various factors and treatments like minoxidil and finasteride can help, but more research and better public awareness are needed.
research Role of Metformin in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): Related Infertility
Metformin helps reduce PCOS-related infertility by improving insulin sensitivity and inducing ovulation.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research An Immune Regulatory CCT Repeat Containing Oligodeoxynucleotide Capable of Causing Hair Loss in Male Mice
A specific DNA sequence caused hair loss in male mice by activating immune cells and increasing a certain immune signal.
research Symposium Proceedings of the 4th Intercontinental Meeting of Hair Research Societies: The World of Hair 2004
The 2004 hair research meeting presented new findings on hair cell differentiation, genetic factors in hair loss, hair pigmentation, and potential targeted therapies.
research Oral Contraception and the Treatment of Acne: Current Perspectives
Birth control pills help treat acne, especially when caused by excess male hormones, and are safe to use with antibiotics.
research SARS-CoV-2 and Androgenic Alopecia: Exploring Links
Possible link between COVID-19 and hair loss; more research needed.
research Molecular Dissection of Mesenchymal–Epithelial Interactions in the Hair Follicle
Understanding gene expression in hair follicles can reveal insights into hair growth and disorders.
research Is Dehydroepiandrosterone a Hormone?
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a prohormone important for producing sex steroids and has potential health benefits.
research Sexual Hormones in Human Skin
Human skin makes sexual hormones that affect hair growth, skin health, and healing; too much can cause acne and hair loss, while treatments can manage these conditions.
research Visually Scoring Hirsutism
The modified Ferriman-Gallwey method is a useful tool for diagnosing hirsutism.
research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, Insulin Resistance, and Obesity: Navigating the Pathophysiologic Labyrinth
Insulin resistance and obesity are key factors in the development and worsening of polycystic ovary syndrome, and lifestyle changes are important for managing it.
research Androgens and Hair Growth
Androgens can both increase and decrease hair growth in different parts of the body.
research Metformin: An Old Medication of New Fashion: Evolving New Molecular Mechanisms and Clinical Implications in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Metformin helps manage polycystic ovary syndrome by improving insulin resistance and ovulation, but more research is needed on its full effects.
research The Evaluation and Management of Hirsutism
Most women with excess hair growth have an underlying hormonal issue, often treated with medication and hair removal methods.
research Metformin or Antiandrogen in the Treatment of Hirsutism in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Metformin is effective for treating excessive hair growth in women with PCOS and may work better than the standard treatment in some ways.
research Androgens Protect Against Apolipoprotein E4-Induced Cognitive Deficits
Androgens can help prevent memory problems caused by apoE4.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: Pathogenesis and Potential for Therapy
Hair loss needs more research for better treatments.
research Androgens and Alopecia
Male hormones, particularly DHT, are linked to male pattern hair loss, and treatments like finasteride can help, but they don't work for postmenopausal women's hair loss, which may have different causes.
research Gender Differences in Skin: A Review of the Literature
Male and female skin differ due to hormones, affecting conditions like hair loss, acne, and skin cancer, and suggesting a need for gender-specific treatments.
research Pharmacology and Potential Use of Cyproterone Acetate
Cyproterone Acetate effectively treats androgen-related conditions and is used in prostate cancer therapy and hormone therapy for transgender women.
research Sex Differences in COVID-19: The Role of Androgens in Disease Severity and Progression
Male hormones like testosterone may make COVID-19 worse, and testing for sensitivity to these hormones could help predict how severe a patient's symptoms might be. Treatments that reduce these hormones are being explored.
research Acne: Hormonal Concepts and Therapy
Hormones, especially androgens, play a big role in acne, but most acne sufferers don't have a hormone disorder. Hormonal treatments, including birth control pills, can be very effective for women whose acne doesn't improve with regular treatments.
research Molecular Epidemiology of Hypospadias: Review of Genetic and Environmental Risk Factors
Both genes and environmental factors like chemicals may contribute to the increase in hypospadias, but the exact causes are still unclear.
research Growth Factors and Cytokines in Hair Follicle Development and Cycling: Recent Insights from Animal Models and the Potentials for Clinical Therapy
Growth factors and cytokines are important for hair growth and could potentially treat hair loss, but more research is needed to overcome challenges before they can be used in treatments.
research Hormones and the Pilosebaceous Unit
Hormones significantly affect hair and oil gland function in the skin, and more research is needed on skin-related hormone disorders.
research Hormonal Therapy for Acne
Hormonal treatments, including birth control and antiandrogens, can effectively treat acne in women.
