Male pattern baldness is often genetic and linked to a hormone, with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil being effective for some men.
research Immunosuppressive Therapy in Autoimmune Disease: A Review
Immunosuppressive therapy helps manage autoimmune diseases but carries risks like infection and potential for malignancy.
research A Role for Steroid 5 Alpha-Reductase 1 in Vascular Remodeling During Endometrial Decidualization
The enzyme 5α-reductase type 1 is important for blood vessel development and fertility in the uterus.
research Topical Cetirizine and Oral Vitamin D: A Valid Treatment for Hypotrichosis Caused by Ectodermal Dysplasia
Using cetirizine on the skin and taking vitamin D can help increase hair growth in children with hair loss from ectodermal dysplasia.
research Tacrolimus in Dermatology
Tacrolimus is an effective treatment for several skin conditions with fewer side effects than cyclosporine.
research Androgen Metabolism as It Affects Hair Growth in Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgens, like DHT, affect hair growth and treatments like finasteride may help.
research The Circular RNA CircCOL1A1 Functions as a miR-149-5p Sponge to Regulate the Formation of Superior-Quality Brush Hair via the CMTM3/AR Axis
A specific RNA molecule, circCOL1A1, affects the growth and quality of goat hair by interacting with miR-149-5p and influencing cell growth pathways.
research PNKP Is Required for Maintaining the Integrity of Progenitor Cell Populations in Adult Mice
PNKP is essential for keeping adult mouse progenitor cells healthy and growing normally.
research Development of a Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry-Based Inhibition Assay for Screening Steroid 5-Alpha Reductase in Human and Fish Cell Lines
A new method was created to test the effectiveness of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, in human and fish cells. The results showed fish cells are more sensitive to these treatments, and dutasteride works better than finasteride in all tested cells.
research Inhibition of Rab27a and Rab27b Has Opposite Effects on the Regulation of Hair Cycle and Hair Growth
Blocking Rab27a slows hair growth, while blocking Rab27b encourages it.
research Thymosin β4 Identified by Transcriptomic Analysis from Hair Follicle Anagen to Telogen Promotes Proliferation of Secondary Hair Follicle Dermal Papilla Cells in Albas Cashmere Goat
Thymosin β4 helps increase hair growth in Cashmere goats.
research Long-Term Treatment with Finasteride Induces Apoptosis and Pathological Changes in Female Mice
Finasteride causes harmful organ changes in female mice.
research Longer TA Repeat but Not V89L Polymorphisms in the SRD5A2 Gene May Confer Acne Risk in the Chinese Population
Longer TA repeats in the SRD5A2 gene may increase acne risk in Chinese people.
research Combined Oral Contraceptives Promote Androgen Receptor And Estrogen Receptor Alpha Upregulation In The Female Prostate (Skene’s Paraurethral Glands) Of Adult Gerbils (Meriones Unguiculatus)
Birth control pills increase certain receptor activities in female gerbil prostate glands and can lead to prostate changes.
research Biotechs Target Stagnant Baldness Market
New drug shows promise for better hair growth in baldness treatment.
research Isolation and Characterization of Recombinant Murine Wnt3a
Scientists successfully purified a protein called Wnt3a, which is involved in processes like hair growth, but the overall yield was low, suggesting more work is needed to improve this.
research New Findings in Hair Research: Influence of Prolactin, Retinoids, and Transforming Growth Factor-β on Hair Growth
