research Androgenetic Alopecia in Men and Women
Androgenetic alopecia involves genetics, hormones, and can be treated with medications or surgery.
research TrichoScan: A Novel Tool for the Analysis of Hair Growth In Vivo
TrichoScan is a reliable method for measuring hair growth and is useful for assessing hair loss treatments.
research Is Androgenetic Alopecia a Photoaggravated Dermatosis?
Sunlight worsens hair loss; protect scalp.
research Percutaneous Absorption of Minoxidil in Humans
Minoxidil absorbs poorly through skin, with low risk of side effects at 1-2% concentration.
research The Genetics of Androgenetic Alopecia

research Biochemical Roles of Testosterone and Epitestosterone to 5α-Reductase as Indicators of Male-Pattern Baldness
High testosterone to epitestosterone ratio in hair could predict male-pattern baldness.
research Androgenetic Alopecia in Males: A Histopathological and Ultrastructural Study
Hair loss in males involves inflammation, collagen buildup, and follicle damage, with severity increasing with age and baldness duration.
research Animal Models of Androgen-Dependent Disorders of the Pilosebaceous Apparatus
Testosterone causes hair loss in AGA mice, which are good for testing baldness treatments, and both minoxidil and cyproterone acetate can prevent this hair loss.
research A Review of Adipocyte Lineage Cells and Dermal Papilla Cells in Hair Follicle Regeneration
Cell-based therapies using dermal papilla cells and adipocyte lineage cells show potential for hair regeneration.
research Quantitative Models for the Study of Hair Growth In Vivo
The conclusion is that small hair follicles cause baldness in macaques, and treatments like antiandrogens and minoxidil can prevent hair loss and promote regrowth.
research Harnessing the Power of Regenerative Therapy for Vitiligo and Alopecia Areata
Regenerative therapies show promise for treating vitiligo and alopecia areata.
research Hair Regrowth in Two Patients with Recalcitrant Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia After Use of Topical Metformin
Topical metformin helped regrow hair in two women with a hard-to-treat scarring hair loss condition.
research Evidence of Increased DNA Methylation of the Androgen Receptor Gene in Occipital Hair Follicles from Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
Men with hair loss have more DNA changes in back-of-head hair follicles, possibly protecting them from thinning.
research Quantifying Alopecia Areata via Texture Analysis to Automate the SALT Score Computation
Researchers created a fast, accurate computer program to measure hair loss in alopecia areata patients.
research Topical Minoxidil Therapy for Androgenetic Alopecia
The document concludes that topical minoxidil therapy is safe and effective in promoting hair growth for male pattern baldness.
research 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
Finasteride effectively treats enlarged prostate and male baldness, improves symptoms of hirsutism in women, but doesn't work for acne, and may delay prostate cancer progression with few side effects.
research Interventions for Female Pattern Hair Loss
Topical minoxidil improves female pattern hair loss, finasteride not effective, laser devices show mixed results.
research Antiandrogen Therapy for Androgenetic Alopecia
Antiandrogen therapy helps treat genetic hair loss.
research Current Practices and Controversies in Cosmetic Hair Restoration
The document concludes that hair restoration has advanced significantly, with FUE becoming more popular, and stresses the importance of physician training and ethical practices in the field.
research Follicular Cell Implantation: An Emerging Cell Therapy for Hair Loss
Follicular Cell Implantation might become a new treatment for hair loss and could lead to advances in organ regeneration.
research Immunocytochemical Localization of Androgen Receptors in the Scalp of the Stumptail Macaque Monkey, a Model of Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgen receptors found in monkey scalps, similar to humans, affect hair growth.
research Shorn Scalps and Perceptions of Male Dominance
Men with shaved heads are seen as more dominant but older and less attractive.
research Evolution of Techniques in Hair Transplantation: A 12-Year Perspective
Hair transplantation techniques have improved over 12 years, with follicular unit grafting providing more natural results and potential future advances in automation and genetics.
research Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Protects CD200-Rich and CD34-Positive Hair Follicle Stem Cells Against Androgen-Induced Apoptosis Through the Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase/Akt Pathway in Patients With Androgenic Alopecia
A substance called Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor can protect certain hair follicle stem cells from damage caused by androgens, suggesting a new possible treatment for hair loss.
research Effects of Platelet-Rich Plasma on In Vitro Hair Follicle Germ Preparation for Hair Regenerative Medicine
Platelet-rich plasma can potentially improve hair regeneration by increasing follicular gene expression and hair growth activity.
