Genetics and hormones cause hair loss; finasteride treats it safely.
research Bi-Allelic Mutations in LSS, Encoding Lanosterol Synthase, Cause Autosomal-Recessive Hypotrichosis Simplex
Mutations in the LSS gene cause a rare type of hereditary hair loss.
research Spatiotemporal Control of CRISPR/Cas9 Gene Editing
The document concludes that while there are promising methods to control CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing, more research is needed to overcome challenges related to safety and effectiveness for clinical use.
research Idiopathic Hirsutism: Androgen Role and Treatment Options
The document concludes that more research is needed to understand excessive hair growth in women with normal hormone levels and regular ovulation.
research Heparan Sulfate Regulates Hair Follicle and Sebaceous Gland Morphogenesis and Homeostasis
Heparan sulfate is important for hair growth, preventing new hair formation in mature skin, and controlling oil gland development.
research MicroRNA in Skin Diseases
Certain microRNAs are linked to various skin diseases and could be used to diagnose and treat these conditions.
research Expression of NAD+-Dependent 15-Hydroxyprostaglandin Dehydrogenase and Protection of Prostaglandins in Human Hair Follicle
A substance called compound-1 could help increase hair growth by maintaining prostaglandin levels in hair follicles.
research Alopecia Areata, Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis, and Ulcerative Colitis: Autoimmunity and Apoptosis as Common Links?
The conditions alopecia areata, primary sclerosing cholangitis, and ulcerative colitis may be linked by shared autoimmune and cell death mechanisms.
research Male-Pattern Baldness, Common Latent Viruses, and Microcompetition
Common latent viruses might contribute to male-pattern baldness by disrupting cell processes that normally suppress hair loss-related proteins.
research Alopecia in Laboratory Animals Induced by a Polyampholyte, Polyethylene Alanine
Polyethylene alanine caused hair loss in young lab animals but not in adults, with hair regrowth occurring within 20 days.
research Finasteride in Androgenic Alopecia
Finasteride treats hair loss but may cause side effects like low libido and dizziness.
research Nutraceuticals Known to Promote Hair Growth Do Not Interfere With the Inhibitory Action of Tamoxifen in MCF7, T47D and BT483 Breast Cancer Cell Lines
Nutraceuticals that promote hair growth do not reduce tamoxifen's effectiveness in breast cancer treatment.
research The Effect of Finasteride on the Male Rat Brain
Finasteride affects the male rat brain by reducing certain protein activation, but these effects may reverse after stopping the drug.
research Medical Practice: Therapy and Adverse Reactions
Blood pressure drugs can cause skin lupus, but it improves after stopping the drug. The glycoprotein D vaccine works against genital herpes in some women, and the HPV-16 vaccine reduces HPV-16 infection and related diseases. More frequent light therapy clears psoriasis faster. A cream called imiquimod effectively treats a type of skin cancer. Iron supplements don't necessarily help with chronic hair loss in women.
