Lespedeza cuneata extract may help treat enlarged prostate.
research Bioinspired Engineering of ADSC Nanovesicles in Thermosensitive Hydrogel to Enhance Autophagy of Dermal Papilla Cells for Androgenetic Alopecia Treatment
New treatment using engineered nanovesicles in hydrogel improves hair growth by repairing hair follicle cells in a mouse model of hair loss.
research The mRNA for Protease Nexin-1 is Expressed in Human Dermal Papilla Cells and its Level is Affected by Androgen
Human skin cells contain Protease Nexin-1, and male hormones can decrease its levels, potentially affecting hair growth.
research Cross-Interactions of BMP and WNT Signaling Pathways Attenuate Androgen Effect on Hair Follicle Stem Cell Differentiation
BMPs are important for hair growth and can counteract the negative effects of androgens on hair follicle stem cells.
research Bone Morphogenetic Proteins Are Critical Factors for Hair Follicle Epithelial-Mesenchymal Interactions in Androgenetic Alopecia
Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) are important for hair growth, and their decrease due to hormones could lead to hair loss, but adding more BMPs could promote hair growth.
research Inhibitory Effect of Angiogenin on the Expression of Type I Collagen and Fibronectin in Dermal Papilla Cells from Androgenetic Alopecia Areas
Angiogenin may help treat hair loss by reducing certain proteins in hair cells.
research Androgen Action and 3D Culture Conditions Influence Dermal Papilla Cells' Inductive Properties: The Role of Wnt Agonists/Antagonists Balance
DHT reduces a cell's ability to promote hair growth, while 3D culture without DHT improves it.
research Effect of 5α-Dihydrotestosterone and Testosterone on Apoptosis in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
High levels of testosterone and 5α-DHT can lead to cell death in cells important for hair growth.
research Cyanidin 3-O-Arabinoside Suppresses DHT-Induced Dermal Papilla Cell Senescence by Modulating p38-Dependent ER-Mitochondria Contacts
Cyanidin 3-O-arabinoside may help treat a common form of hair loss by protecting cells against aging and improving cell function.
research Androgenetic Alopecia and Microinflammation
Inflammation may be linked to hair loss, and targeting specific enzymes could help treat it.
research A Cell-Based System for Screening Hair Growth-Promoting Agents
Apigenin may help promote hair growth and could treat hair loss.
research Oral Administration of Low-Dose Bisphenol A Promotes Proliferation of Ventral Prostate and Upregulates Prostaglandin D2 Synthase Expression in Adult Rats
Low doses of BPA can increase prostate growth and change hormone levels in adult rats.
research 5α-Reductase Activity in the Prostate
Blocking the enzyme 5α-reductase can shrink the prostate and help treat enlarged prostate issues.
research Biology of the Hair Follicle: The Basics
The document concludes that understanding hair follicle biology can lead to better hair loss treatments.
research Inhibition of Rat 5α-Reductase Activity and Testosterone-Induced Sebum Synthesis in Hamster Sebocytes by an Extract of Quercus Acutissima Cortex
An extract from Quercus acutissima bark was found to reduce sebum production and block an enzyme linked to acne.
research Androgen Receptor Accelerates Premature Senescence of Human Dermal Papilla Cells in Association with DNA Damage
Androgen receptor signaling causes early aging of cells important for hair growth by damaging their DNA.
research The Basic Science of Hair Biology
Hair disorders are caused by a complex mix of biology, genetics, hormones, and environmental factors, affecting hair growth and leading to conditions like alopecia.
research The Antiandrogenic Effect of Finasteride Against a Mutant Androgen Receptor

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.
