research The Genetics of Androgenetic Alopecia
Genes and hormones cause hair loss, with four genes contributing equally.
research Supplementary Material for: Dexamethasone, a Synthetic Glucocorticoid, Induces the Activity of Androgen Receptor in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
Dexamethasone increases androgen receptor activity in scalp cells, which might explain stress-related hair loss.
research Clues About The Causes Of Male Pattern Baldness
A substance called prostaglandin D2 is linked to stopping hair growth in men with common baldness.
research Do We Need Hair Follicle Stem Cells and Hair Follicle Neogenesis to Cure Common Hair Loss Disorders?
Common hair loss disorders may not need stem cell therapy, but could benefit from other treatments like hair cycle control and immune restoration therapy.
research Minoxidil Increases 17β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase and 5α-Reductase Activity in Cultured Human Dermal Papilla Cells from Balding Scalp
Minoxidil boosts enzymes that help hair growth.
research Baldness May Be Caused by the Weight of the Scalp: Gravity as a Proposed Mechanism for Hair Loss
Baldness might be caused by scalp weight pressing on hair follicles.
research Establishment and Characterization of Matched Immortalized Human Frontal and Occipital Scalp Dermal Papilla Cell Lines from Androgenetic Alopecia
Scientists created cell lines from balding patients and found that cells from the front of the scalp are more affected by hormones that cause hair loss than those from the back.
research The Expression of Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 in Follicular Dermal Papillae Correlates with Therapeutic Efficacy of Finasteride in Androgenetic Alopecia
Higher IGF-1 levels in hair follicles link to better finasteride results for hair loss.
research Plasma C19 Steroid Sulfate Levels and Indices of Androgen Bioavailability in Female Pattern Androgenic Alopecia
Women with female pattern hair loss have higher levels of certain androgens, suggesting increased androgen exposure to hair follicles.
research Big Head? Bald Head! Skull Expansion: Alternative Model for the Primary Mechanism of Androgenetic Alopecia
The paper suggests that hair loss might be caused by skull growth, not just DHT's effect on hair follicles, and calls for more research.
research Histopathological Evidence of Occipital Involvement in Male Androgenetic Alopecia
Advanced male pattern baldness affects the back of the scalp, reducing hair follicles.
research Hair Transplantation in Burn Scar Alopecia
Hair transplantation effectively treats burn scar alopecia, improving self-esteem and confidence.
research Dermal Fibrosis in Male Pattern Hair Loss: A Suggestive Implication of Mast Cells
Mast cells might contribute to hair loss by causing skin thickening.
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 Progressive Expression of PPARGC1α Is Associated with Hair Miniaturization in Androgenetic Alopecia
Increased PPARGC1α relates to hair thinning in common baldness.
research Pattern Hair Loss in Men: Diagnosis, Genetic Link, Clinical Features, and Treatments
Male pattern hair loss caused by follicular miniaturization; early diagnosis and treatment can reduce psychological burden.
research Effect of Prostaglandin D2 on Hair Follicle Growth and Its Impact on Hair Follicle Stem/Progenitor Cells
Blocking Prostaglandin D₂ may help treat hair loss.
research Oxidative Stress-Associated Senescence in Dermal Papilla Cells of Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
Oxidative stress affects hair loss in men with androgenetic alopecia.
research Prostaglandin-Induced Hair Growth
Latanoprost can make eyelashes longer, thicker, and darker.
research Psychological Effect, Pathophysiology, and Management of Androgenetic Alopecia in Men
Minoxidil and finasteride can slow hair loss and stimulate regrowth, but won't restore all lost hair or reverse complete baldness.
research 5α-Reductase Activity in the Human Hair Follicle Concentrates in the Dermal Papilla
The enzyme that changes testosterone to a stronger form is mostly found in the part of the hair follicle called the dermal papilla.
research Mechanism of Androgenic Alopecia: Addressing Speculations Through Empirical Evidence
Hair loss in men is mainly caused by hormones and genes, and while current treatments can slow it down, they can't fully stop it.
research Androgen Receptor-Mediated Paracrine Signaling Induces Regression of Blood Vessels in the Dermal Papilla in Androgenetic Alopecia
Male pattern baldness is linked to higher levels of a certain receptor in the scalp, which leads to the shrinking of blood vessels and hair loss. Early treatment targeting this receptor could be more effective.
research Niacinamide Down-Regulates the Expression of DKK-1 and Protects Cells from Oxidative Stress in Cultured Human Dermal Papilla Cells
Vitamin B3 may help prevent hair loss and promote hair growth by protecting scalp cells from stress and reducing hair growth-blocking proteins.
research Hair Sciences: The Hair Cycle Discussed with Dr. Gilliam Westgate
Androgens affect hair growth and shedding, with genetic and non-genetic factors influencing baldness.
research Hair Diseases: Alopecia Areata and Androgenetic Alopecia
Alopecia areata, a type of hair loss, may be passed through T cells and has genetic links, while treatments vary in effectiveness. Male pattern baldness can be treated with finasteride and is influenced by androgens in hair follicles.
research Dexamethasone, a Synthetic Glucocorticoid, Induces the Activity of Androgen Receptor in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
Dexamethasone increases the activity of androgen receptors in human skin cells, which may link it to certain types of hair loss.
research Treatment of Hair Loss in the Trichorhinophalangeal Syndrome
Hair transplantation successfully treated hair loss in a patient with Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome.
research Divergent Progression Pathways in Male Androgenetic Alopecia and Female Pattern Hair Loss: Trichoscopic Perspectives
Men's and women's pattern hair loss progress differently, with men showing more hair thinning and women having more widespread hair loss.
