January 2013 in “Faculty of Health; Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation” This study aimed to identify unknown genetic risk loci associated with androgenetic alopecia by examining SNPs at 12 genomic loci but did not find complete heritable risk factors.

April 2012 in “Journal of IMAB” This study found no correlation between clinical stages of androgenetic alopecia and serum DHEA-S levels in men, contrasting with previous studies suggesting elevated levels.
January 2012 in “Faculty of Health; Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation” This study found six new genetic factors linked to early-onset androgenetic alopecia and its association with increased risk of Parkinson's disease and decreased fertility.
January 2012 in “Journal of Liaoning University of Traditional Chinese Medicine” This study found that more frequent shampoo use, high fat consumption, work pressure, and mental labor were associated with an increased risk of androgenic alopecia.

January 2011 in “The Chinese Journal of Dermatovenereology” This study found that shorter GGN repeat lengths (≤23) in the androgen receptor gene are associated with androgenetic alopecia among Chinese males, whereas two specific SNPs studied were not present in this population.
July 2010 in “British Journal of Dermatology” This article discusses female pattern hair loss and explores potential causes beyond androgenic factors, reporting no new research findings.
September 2009 in “Hair transplant forum international” This article provides an interview with Felix Brockschmidt about his award-winning work on the genetics of male pattern androgenetic alopecia, focusing on the androgen receptor and findings on chromosome 20p11, and reports no new experimental results.
July 2008 in “British Journal of Dermatology” Cyclosporin doesn't stop hair loss.
May 2008 in “Hair transplant forum international” This abstract provides no results, as it only notes Sharon Keene's professional role and describes a non-blood test for AGA genetics.
January 2008 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology” ROS may affect hair loss related to hormones.
December 2006 in “8th European Congress of Endocrinology incorporating the British Endocrine Societies” Men with early hair loss and hormonal changes like PCOS could be the male equivalent of PCOS, not linked to metabolic syndrome.
September 2005 in “Archives of Dermatological Research” Large prostate patients more likely to have hair loss.
January 2004 in “Modern Medicine” Androgenetic alopecia causes distressing hair loss in aging men and women.
This review highlights how male pattern baldness is often linked to negative impacts on quality of life and social perceptions but provides no new research findings.
September 2002 in “Dermatologic Surgery” This study found that the prevalence of male pattern baldness in the Asian population in Bangkok is higher than previously thought, approaching rates seen in Caucasians.
March 1999 in “Journal of The European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology” Baldness may indicate higher heart disease risk in men.
January 1999 in “Journal of S C C J” This study found that STAT3 signaling is essential for initiating the hair growth phase but not involved in hair follicle development during the fetal period.
January 1998 in “NEJM Journal Watch” The abstract reports no new clinical results; it describes finasteride’s mechanism of action in androgenetic alopecia and mentions unpublished trial results by the manufacturer and investigators.

September 1997 in “Journal of The European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology” Hormonal differences affect male pattern baldness.
June 1996 in “Archives of Dermatology” Using a mix of finasteride and minoxidil can significantly regrow hair in men with pattern baldness.
January 1996 in “Springer eBooks” Hair can regrow if the sebaceous gland is intact, even if the hair root is removed.
January 1996 in “Springer eBooks” In this study, Hamilton (1942) reported that the susceptibility to balding increases with age and is expressed more rapidly when older men begin androgen treatment.
Lightly perming scalp hair can lead to new hair growth, potentially treating baldness.
January 1990 in “Springer eBooks” The document talks about three main surgical treatments for hair loss: punch hair transplantation, alopecia reduction, and flap hair transplantation.
