The skin acts like an endocrine organ, producing hormones that affect various body functions and skin health, and understanding this can lead to new treatments.

Hair loss in women may have causes other than hormones.

Hair disorders are caused by a complex mix of biology, genetics, hormones, and environmental factors, affecting hair growth and leading to conditions like alopecia.

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) doesn't affect rat skin cell growth, but it does change cell cycle, protein levels, and other cell functions, potentially shortening hair growth cycle.

Hair growth is influenced by interactions between skin layers, growth factors, and hormones, but the exact mechanisms are not fully understood.

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.

Children and adults with Cushing's disease show different symptoms and males have more severe cases; surgery outcomes can be predicted by certain factors.

Laser hair removal works well for people with dark hair and light skin, but it's less effective for light hair or dark skin; improvements are expected.

Mesenchymal stem cells show potential for skin healing and anti-aging, but more research is needed for safe use, especially regarding stem cells from induced pluripotent sources.

Stress can worsen skin conditions by affecting hormone levels and immune response.

Mutant CDP/Cux protein causes hair defects and reduced male fertility in mice.

Fat-derived stem cells show promise for skin repair and reducing aging signs but need more research for consistent results.

Androgens and other hormones affect hair growth and skin conditions like acne.

Testosterone is crucial for development, growth, and various body functions in mammals.

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) mainly affects nearby cells, doesn't significantly change prostate hormonal environment or cancer risk, and doesn't play a main role in causing hair loss or acne. More research is needed on its effects on heart health, sexual function, and bone health.

Mouflon rams mature gradually with changes in body, horns, and hormones linked to age and seasons, reaching full sexual maturity well after puberty.

Lowering testosterone speeds up wound healing in male mice.

A man's low testosterone and related symptoms improved after he stopped taking hair loss drugs.
