research Identification of the Cell Lineage at the Origin of Basal Cell Carcinoma
Basal cell carcinoma mostly starts from cells in the upper skin layers, not hair follicle stem cells.
research Markers of Peripheral Androgen Action In Vivo and In Vitro
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is crucial for conditions like male-pattern baldness and acne, and measuring a byproduct, androstanediol glucuronide, is a better way to assess DHT's effects than DHT blood levels.
research Molecular Epidemiology of Hypospadias: Review of Genetic and Environmental Risk Factors
Both genes and environmental factors like chemicals may contribute to the increase in hypospadias, but the exact causes are still unclear.
research Alopecia And Its Medical Management
Hair loss can be treated with medications like minoxidil and finasteride or surgery, but treatment effectiveness varies by alopecia type and accurate diagnosis is important.
research Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia Using PRP to Target Dysregulated Mechanisms and Pathways
PRP is effective for treating hair loss, especially with other treatments.
research Finasteride: The First 5α-Reductase Inhibitor
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate and baldness, but may cause limited urinary improvement and sex-related side effects.

Minoxidil boosts enzymes that help hair growth.
research Androgenetic Alopecia in Men
AGA treated with finasteride, minoxidil, and hair transplantation.
research Therapeutic Strategy for Hair Regeneration: Hair Cycle Activation, Niche Environment Modulation, Wound-Induced Follicle Neogenesis, and Stem Cell Engineering
The conclusion is that hair growth can be improved by activating hair cycles, changing the surrounding environment, healing wounds to create new hair follicles, and using stem cell technology.
research Subcellular Localization of the Five Members of the Human Steroid 5α-Reductase Family
All five human steroid 5α-reductase enzymes are found in the endoplasmic reticulum.
research The Genetics of Androgenetic Alopecia
Genes and hormones cause hair loss, with four genes contributing equally.
research Female Pattern Hair Loss
Hair loss in women is genetic, diagnosed by examination and biopsy, and treated with minoxidil, finasteride, or transplantation.
