research Types of Hair Loss and Treatment Options, Including the Novel Low-Level Light Therapy and Its Proposed Mechanism
Hair loss treatments include medications and new methods like low-level light therapy, which may work by boosting cell activity and blood flow.
research Cellular Therapy with Human Autologous Adipose-Derived Adult Cells of Stromal Vascular Fraction for Alopecia Areata
Using patients' own fat-derived cells to treat alopecia areata significantly improved hair growth and was safe.
research Androgen Receptor Gene Polymorphism and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
The conclusion is that androgen receptor gene polymorphism might be a marker for polycystic ovary syndrome, but more research is needed.
research Wnt/β-Catenin and ERK Pathway Activation: A Possible Mechanism of Photobiomodulation Therapy with Light-Emitting Diodes That Regulate the Proliferation of Human Outer Root Sheath Cells
LED light therapy may help hair growth by activating certain cell pathways.
research Prevalence of CYP21 Mutations and IRS1 Variant Among Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Adrenal Androgen Excess
Some women with PCOS have CYP21 mutations and IRS1 variants, but these genetic factors are not major contributors to PCOS.
research Androgen Modulation of Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling in Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgens may block hair growth signals, targeting this could treat hair loss.
research Body Composition Changes and Inhibition of Fat Development In Vivo Implicate Androgen in Regulation of Stem Cell Lineage Allocation
