research Androgenetic Alopecia: An Evidence-Based Treatment Update
Effective treatments for male pattern baldness include oral finasteride and topical minoxidil, while topical minoxidil is best for female pattern baldness.
research Classification and Management of Skin, Hair, Nail, and Mucosal Side Effects of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Inhibitors
EGFR inhibitors often cause skin problems and other side effects, but these are usually reversible and can be managed to keep patients comfortable.
research In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluation of Biologically Synthesized Silver Nanoparticles for Topical Applications: Effect of Surface Coating and Loading into Hydrogels
Silver nanoparticles coated with substances like PEG showed strong antibacterial effects and improved wound healing when used in hydrogels.
research Hair Loss in Women
Over one-third of women experience hair loss, with female-pattern hair loss being most common, and treatments include minoxidil and possibly hair transplantation.
research Finasteride
Finasteride effectively treats baldness but may cause sexual side effects.
research Clinical Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Finasteride
Finasteride helps regrow hair and shrink prostate by reducing DHT, with some sexual side effects.
research The Unit Area Trichogram in the Assessment of Androgen-Dependent Alopecia
The unit area trichogram is a reliable method to assess hair loss and treatment response in people with androgenic alopecia by measuring hair density and thickness.
research The Blastema and Epimorphic Regeneration in Mammals
Mammals might fail to regenerate not because they lack the right cells, but because of how cells respond to their surroundings, and changing this environment could enhance regeneration.
research Finasteride Treatment of Patterned Hair Loss in Normoandrogenic Postmenopausal Women
Finasteride can slow hair loss and promote growth in postmenopausal women.
research Treatment of Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia
Scalp cooling can prevent chemotherapy-induced hair loss, and certain treatments can speed up hair regrowth, but more research is needed for better treatments.
research A Novel Finasteride 0.25% Topical Solution for Androgenetic Alopecia: Pharmacokinetics and Effects on Plasma Androgen Levels in Healthy Male Volunteers
New finasteride solution effectively reduces baldness-causing hormone, potentially with fewer side effects.
research Tamoxifen for Flutamide/Finasteride-Induced Gynecomastia
Tamoxifen effectively treats gynecomastia without causing impotence.
research Control by a Hair’s Breadth: The Role of MicroRNAs in the Skin
MicroRNAs play a crucial role in skin and hair health, affecting everything from growth to aging, and could potentially be used in treating skin diseases.
research The Regeneration Blastema of Lizards: An Amniote Model for the Study of Appendage Replacement
Lizards can regrow their tails, and studying this process helps understand scar-free healing and limb regeneration.
research GLI2-Specific Transcriptional Activation of the Bone Morphogenetic Protein/Activin Antagonist Follistatin in Human Epidermal Cells
GLI2 increases follistatin production in human skin cells.
research Guidelines for the Management of Androgenetic Alopecia (2010)
Use minoxidil for hair loss treatment, and finasteride for men.
research Cellular Senescence in Tissue Repair: Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining
Cell aging can be both good and bad for tissue repair.
research Effects of Subchronic Finasteride Treatment and Withdrawal on Neuroactive Steroid Levels and Their Receptors in the Male Rat Brain
Finasteride treatment changes brain steroid levels and receptors, affecting brain function even after stopping treatment.
research Finasteride Treatment Inhibits Adult Hippocampal Neurogenesis in Male Mice
Finasteride reduces new brain cells in male mice, possibly causing depression.
research Finasteride, a Type 2 5α-Reductase Inhibitor, in the Treatment of Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
Finasteride effectively treats male hair loss, improving growth and density.
research Neurosteroids Are Endogenous Neuroprotectants in an Ex Vivo Glaucoma Model
A natural steroid in the body may protect against eye damage in glaucoma.
research Enhanced Remyelination During Late Pregnancy: Involvement of the GABAergic System
Late pregnancy helps repair brain damage in rats due to the GABAergic system.
research Inducing Hair Follicle Neogenesis with Secreted Proteins Enriched in Embryonic Skin
Three specific proteins can turn adult skin cells into hair-growing cells, suggesting a new hair loss treatment.
research Cell Cycle Regulation and Regeneration
Mice that can regenerate tissue have cells that pause in the cell cycle, which is important for healing, similar to axolotls.
research Continued Improvement in Pressure-Flow Parameters in Men Receiving Finasteride for 2 Years
Finasteride improves urinary function in men for 2 years.
research Cross-Species Sensitivity to a Novel Androgen Receptor Agonist of Potential Environmental Concern, Spironolactone
Spironolactone harms fish reproduction and is more potent in fish than invertebrates, needing environmental monitoring.
research Mesotherapy for Local Fat Reduction
Mesotherapy might help reduce fat in specific areas for those close to their ideal weight, but more research and care are needed to ensure safety.
research Effects of Oral Finasteride on Erectile Function in a Rat Model
Finasteride reduces corpus cavernosum weight but doesn't affect erectile response in rats.
research Effects of Short-Term Finasteride on Apoptotic Factors and Androgen Receptors in Prostate Cancer Cells
