research Androgenetic Alopecia: Pathogenetic Mechanisms and Treatment Approaches
Androgenic alopecia, a common hair loss condition, is linked to changes in androgen metabolism and genetics, and can be treated with finasteride and minoxidil, but these treatments are only fully effective in 10% of patients.
research Hirsutism and the Variable Response of the Pilosebaceous Unit to Androgens
Different women's hair and skin glands respond to hormones in varied ways, which can cause unwanted hair growth even with normal hormone levels, and more research is needed to treat this effectively.
research Mechanism of Action of Androgen in Hair Follicles
