research Dermatologic Manifestations of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Women with PCOS often have skin problems like excessive hair, acne, hair loss, and dark patches, which can be treated with hormonal and non-hormonal therapies.
research Scalp Dermoscopy of Androgenetic Alopecia in Asian People
research The Hair Follicle: A Paradoxical Androgen Target Organ
Androgens can both promote and prevent hair growth due to differences in gene expression in hair follicles.
research Expression of mRNA for Androgen Receptor, 5α-Reductase, and 17β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
Hair sensitivity to androgens is partly controlled by specific enzyme expressions in different hair areas.
research The Control of Hair Growth: An Overview
Hair growth is influenced by interactions between skin layers, growth factors, and hormones, but the exact mechanisms are not fully understood.
research Molecular Genetic and Endocrine Mechanisms of Hair Growth
Hormones and their receptors, especially androgens, play a key role in hair growth and disorders like baldness.
research Stem Cell Factor/c-Kit Signaling in Normal and Androgenetic Alopecia Hair Follicles
SCF and c-Kit decrease in AGA hair follicles, possibly affecting hair pigmentation and growth.
research Photobiomodulation: The Clinical Applications of Low-Level Light Therapy
Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT) is a safe and effective method for skin rejuvenation, acne treatment, wound healing, body contouring, and hair growth, but more well-designed trials are needed for confirmation.
research Inhibition of Hair Growth by Testosterone in the Presence of Dermal Papilla Cells from the Frontal Bald Scalp of the Postpubertal Stumptailed Macaque
Testosterone can slow down hair growth when combined with certain cells from bald scalps, and this effect can be blocked by an androgen receptor blocker.
research Through the Lens of Hair Follicle Neogenesis: A New Focus on Mechanisms of Skin Regeneration After Wounding
Hair can regrow in large wounds through a process similar to how hair forms in embryos, and understanding this could lead to new treatments for hair loss or scarring.
research Finasteride Is the Main Inhibitor of 5α-Reductase Activity in Microdissected Dermal Papillae of Human Hair Follicles
Finasteride potentially treats hair loss by reducing DHT production.
research Androgen Receptors Are Only Present in Mesenchyme-Derived Dermal Papilla Cells of Red Deer Neck Follicles When Raised Androgens Induce a Mane in the Breeding Season
Red deer only have androgen receptors in neck hair cells for mane growth during breeding season.
research Getting Under the Skin of Hair Aging: The Impact of the Hair Follicle Environment
Aging scalp skin contributes to hair aging and loss, and more research is needed to develop better hair loss treatments.
research Androgens and Hair: A Biological Paradox
Androgens can cause hair growth in some areas but hair loss on the scalp.
research Cosmetic Concerns Among Men
More men are getting cosmetic procedures, mainly for aging, hair loss, and to keep masculine features, with growing interest in both surgical and noninvasive treatments.
research The Biology of Hair Growth
Hair growth is influenced by hormones and goes through different phases; androgens can both promote and inhibit hair growth depending on the body area.
research Androgens and Hair: A Biological Paradox with Clinical Consequences
Androgens can both increase body hair and cause scalp hair loss.
research The Involvement of Androgens in Human Hair Growth
Androgens play a key role in hair growth and disorders like baldness and excessive hairiness.
research SOX2 in the Skin: Roles in Biology and Pathology
SOX2 is crucial for skin cell function and hair growth, and it plays a role in skin cancer and wound healing.
research Hair Transplantation in Migraine Headache Patients
Some migraine sufferers had no more headaches after getting a hair transplant.
research Mechanism of Action of Androgen in Hair Follicles
Testosterone affects hair follicles differently across body sites, with beard hair follicles showing more activity of a specific enzyme and presence of androgen receptors compared to scalp hair.
research Pathogenesis of Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgenetic alopecia, or hair loss, is caused by a mix of genetics, hormones, and environment, where testosterone affects hair growth and causes hair to become smaller and grow for a shorter time.
research Androgen-Dependent Beard Dermal Papilla Cells Secrete Autocrine Growth Factors in Response to Testosterone Unlike Scalp Cells
Beard cells, unlike scalp cells, produce growth factors in response to testosterone, which may explain differences in hair growth.
research Inhibition of Hair Growth by Testosterone in the Presence of Dermal Papilla Cells from the Frontal Bald Scalp of the Postpubertal Stumptailed Macaque
Testosterone can slow hair growth in adult monkeys, but a blocker called RU 58841 can counteract this and potentially help hair regrow.
research Molecular Basis of Androgenetic Alopecia
research A Systematic Review of Outcomes and Patient Satisfaction Following Surgical and Non-Surgical Treatments for Hair Loss
Both surgical and non-surgical hair loss treatments lack a standard treatment plan and sufficient patient satisfaction data.
research Pathobiology of Androgenetic Alopecia
