The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.

New test predicts if hair loss treatment will work.

Minoxidil is less effective on eyebrows and eyelashes than scalp hair because these areas have lower enzyme activity needed to activate the drug.

Some plants like spinach, broccoli, and matcha may boost the effectiveness of the hair growth drug minoxidil.

Genetic variants affect minoxidil hair loss treatment success.

Enzyme booster SULT1A1 greatly enhances hair regrowth with minoxidil.

Sulfotransferase SULT1A1 activity may predict minoxidil treatment success for hair loss.

The study suggests that analyzing DNA can help treat hair loss, but more research is needed.

DNA analysis can help tailor alopecia treatment.

New understanding and treatments for hair loss are improving, but more research is needed.

Molybdenum nanoparticles could be a new treatment for hair loss, working differently than minoxidil.

Various treatments for common hair loss in men and women are effective, but should be tailored to individual needs and potential side effects.

The skin's ability to produce hormones is linked to various skin conditions, and better understanding this process could lead to new treatments.

Topical booster improves hair loss treatment effectiveness.

The document concludes that understanding sulfation biology is crucial for creating treatments due to its importance in biological functions and disease.

Minoxidil helps treat pattern hair loss in both men and women.

Oral minoxidil effectively treats hair loss, with women needing lower doses (0.25 to 2.5 mg daily) and men needing higher doses (1.25 to 5 mg daily).

Different species and human skin models vary in their skin enzyme activities, with pig skin and some models closely matching human skin, useful for safety assessments and understanding the skin's protective roles.

Sulfotransferase in hair follicles helps predict how well minoxidil works for female hair loss.

Minoxidil effectively treats hair loss, especially androgenetic alopecia, but needs more research for better understanding.

Minoxidil, a common alopecia medication, might cause eye changes due to its properties and lack of tissue selectivity.

Low SULT activity in hair follicles leads to better response to oral minoxidil for hair loss.

Using more than 5% minoxidil can help hair growth more, but results vary and side effects may increase.

Androgenetic alopecia in men is genetic and linked to health issues like obesity and heart disease, with treatments including minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplants.

Hair loss in Androgenetic Alopecia is caused by genetics, aging, and lifestyle, leading to hair follicle shrinkage and related health risks.

Most patients stop using topical minoxidil due to side effects.

Nutritional supplements may help improve hair growth in female pattern hair loss.

Genetic defects in testosterone production can cause hormonal and developmental disorders, and more research is needed to understand androgen regulation and develop safer treatments.

Diagnosing hyperandrogenism in women is complex and requires accurate testing methods and consideration of SHBG levels.

The update highlights that non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia is common in women with excess male hormones, requires specific hormone tests for diagnosis, and has various treatment options depending on age and symptoms.
