research The Potential of Androgenic Alopecia Management from Plant Derivatives
Plant extracts like Avicennia marina, Boehmeria nipononivea, and Camellia sinensis could potentially treat hair loss with fewer side effects than synthetic drugs.
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 HDL as Therapeutic Tools
Modified HDL can better deliver drugs and genes, potentially improving treatments and reducing side effects.
research Androgen Effects on the Skin
Androgens like testosterone affect skin health and can lead to conditions such as acne and hair loss, with various treatments available.
research A Study of the Androgen Receptor Gene Polymorphism and the Level of Expression of the Androgen Receptor in Androgenetic Alopecia Among Egyptians
The study suggests that a specific gene variation and higher gene activity are linked to increased baldness in Egyptian men.

research Female Androgenetic Alopecia: New Pathophysiological Factors and Future Trends for a More Comprehensive Clinical Approach
New factors in female hair loss include genetics, hormones, stress, and inflammation; future treatments should also focus on these areas and consider the patient's emotional well-being.
research Mechanistic Synergy of Hair Growth Promotion by the Avicennia Marina Extract and Its Active Constituent Avicequinone C in Dermal Papilla Cells Isolated From Androgenic Alopecia Patients
Avicennia marina extract and avicequinone C can potentially promote hair growth and treat hair loss by interfering with hair loss mechanisms and boosting growth factors.
research Filamin A Mediates Wound Closure by Promoting Elastic Deformation and Maintenance of Tension in the Collagen Matrix
Testosterone may worsen hair loss by affecting hair growth signals, while different prostaglandins can either hinder or promote hair growth.
research Advances in Mitochondria-Centered Mechanism Behind the Roles of Androgens and Androgen Receptor in the Regulation of Glucose and Lipid Metabolism
Androgens and androgen receptors are important for metabolic health, affecting how the body uses glucose and fats through mitochondrial function.
research Hair Follicle Stem Cell Differentiation Is Inhibited Through Cross-Talk Between Wnt/β-Catenin and Androgen Signaling in Dermal Papilla Cells From Patients With Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgens block hair growth by disrupting cell signals; targeting GSK-3 may help treat hair loss.
