research Higher Levels of Steroidogenic Acute Regulatory Protein and Type I 3β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase in the Scalp of Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
Men with baldness have higher levels of specific proteins, suggesting local hormone production may play a role in hair loss.
research Glycogen Phosphorylase Inhibitor Promotes Hair Growth via Protecting from Oxidative Stress and Regulating Glycogen Breakdown in Human Hair Follicles
A new compound, HTPI, promotes hair growth by protecting cells from damage and regulating energy use.
research Molecular Mechanisms of Androgenetic Alopecia
AGA causes hair loss by shrinking hair follicles due to DHT binding, and can be treated with finasteride and minoxidil.
research The Investigation of Insulin Resistance and Metabolic Syndrome in Male Patients with Early-Onset Androgenetic Alopecia
Early balding men may have insulin resistance, but lifestyle changes can help.
research Age-Dependent Associations Between Androgenetic Alopecia and Prostate Cancer Risk
Early balding at 40 increases prostate cancer risk.
research Alopecia Areata: Clinical Perspective and an Insight into Pathogenesis
Alopecia areata causes hair loss due to an immune attack on hair follicles, influenced by genetics and environment.
research Mild Cutaneous Manifestation in Two Young Women with Extraordinary Hyperandrogenemia
Two women with very high androgen levels had only slight skin issues, one due to a non-classical adrenal disorder and the other due to an adrenal tumor.
research Androgenic Alopecia, Premature Graying, and Hair Thinning as Independent Predictors of Coronary Artery Disease in Young Asian Males
Early balding, premature graying, and hair thinning can predict heart disease in young Asian males.
research Functional Hair Follicle Regeneration
Scientists made working hair follicles using stem cells, helping future hair loss treatments.
research The Glypican-1/HGF/C-Met and Glypican-1/VEGF/VEGFR2 Ternary Complexes Regulate Hair Follicle Angiogenesis
