A woman with lupus had hair loss and skin issues that were successfully treated with medications.
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 Oxidative Stress-Associated Senescence in Dermal Papilla Cells of Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
Oxidative stress affects hair loss in men with androgenetic alopecia.

research Bioactives in Chinese Proprietary Medicine Modulate 5α-Reductase Activity and Gene Expression Associated with Androgenetic Alopecia
Chinese medicine may help treat hair loss by affecting genes and enzyme activity.
research Pathomechanism of Androgenetic Alopecia and New Treatment
Male hormones can cause hair loss, but treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride can help, and targeting TGF-B1 could be a future solution.
research Camellia Seed Cake Extract Supports Hair Growth by Abrogating the Effect of Dihydrotestosterone in Cultured Human Dermal Papilla Cells
Camellia seed cake extract may help hair growth by blocking the hair loss effects of a hormone called DHT.
research Melandrium Firmum Extract Promotes Hair Growth by Modulating 5α-Reductase Activity and Gene Expression in C57BL/6J Mice
Melandrium firmum extract helps mice grow hair by blocking a hair loss enzyme and changing hair growth genes.
research Animal and In Vitro Models for the Study of Hair Follicles
The document reviewed various in vitro and in vivo models used to study hair follicles, focusing on their role in understanding hair growth and disorders like androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata. It discussed the use of genetically modified animals and cell cultures, such as dermal papilla cells, to explore the biological and biochemical mechanisms of hair follicles. These models provided insights into the effects of androgens and growth factors on hair growth, highlighting the importance of synthesizing information from different models due to the unique characteristics of human hair growth. The research aimed to facilitate a better understanding of hair follicle function and aid in developing novel treatments for hair disorders.
research An Update on Drug-Induced Pigmentation
Some drugs can cause skin and hair color changes, often reversible when the drug is stopped.
research Alkaline Ceramidase 1 Protects Mice from Premature Hair Loss by Maintaining the Homeostasis of Hair Follicle Stem Cells
The study demonstrated that Alkaline Ceramidase 1 (ACER1) was crucial for maintaining the homeostasis of hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) and preventing premature hair loss in mice by regulating ceramide metabolism. Mice lacking the Acer1 gene showed increased ceramide levels, leading to HFSC depletion, disrupted hair follicle cycling, and progressive hair loss. The absence of ACER1 resulted in morphological changes in hair follicles, lipid accumulation, and impaired hair structure and function. The research highlighted the importance of ACER1 in regulating ceramide metabolism and maintaining HFSC homeostasis, suggesting its potential as a target for treating hair loss conditions.
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 Effect of Coffee Berry Extract on Anti-Aging for Skin and Hair: In Vitro Approach
Coffee berry extract may help slow skin aging and prevent hair loss.
research Treatment of Hirsutism and Acne with Cyproterone Acetate
Cyproterone acetate is effective for treating hirsutism and acne but less so for hair loss, with side effects similar to birth control pills.
