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 A Practical Approach to the Diagnosis and Management of Hair Loss in Children and Adolescents
Early and personalized treatment for hair loss in young people is crucial to prevent permanent damage and should include psychological support.
research Miniaturized Hairs Maintain Contact With the Arrector Pili Muscle in Alopecia Areata but Not in Androgenetic Alopecia: A Model for Reversible Miniaturization and Potential for Hair Regrowth
Miniaturized hairs stay connected to muscle in alopecia areata, allowing possible regrowth, but not in androgenetic alopecia.
research The Impact of Particle Size of Nanostructured Lipid Carriers on Follicular Drug Delivery: A Comprehensive Analysis of Mouse and Human Hair Follicle Penetration
400 nm particles penetrate hair follicles best, but mouse models aren't fully reliable for human studies.
research Possible Mechanisms of Miniaturization During Androgenetic Alopecia or Pattern Hair Loss
Hair loss occurs due to fewer papillary cells, smaller follicles, and shorter growth phases.
research Idiopathic Hirsutism: Androgen Role and Treatment Options
The document concludes that more research is needed to understand excessive hair growth in women with normal hormone levels and regular ovulation.
research Methods for Quantifying Intrafollicular Drug Delivery: A Critical Appraisal
The document concludes that there is no agreed-upon best method for measuring drug delivery within hair follicles and more research is needed to validate current techniques.
research Bioengineering the Hair Follicle
Bioengineering can potentially treat hair loss by regenerating hair follicles and cloning hair, but the process is complex and needs more research.
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 Visually Scoring Hirsutism
The modified Ferriman-Gallwey method is a useful tool for diagnosing hirsutism.
research The Effect of Autologous Activated Platelet Rich Plasma Injection on Pattern Hair Loss: Clinical and Histomorphometric Evaluation
AA-PRP injections effectively increase hair count and thickness for male pattern hair loss.
research Male Pattern Hair Loss: Prevention Rather Than Regrowth
Preventing hair loss is more effective than regrowth; oral finasteride is a realistic option.
research Hair Follicles and Their Role in Skin Health
Hair follicles are essential for skin health, aiding in hair growth, wound healing, and immune function.
research Proceedings of the Ninth World Congress for Hair Research 2015
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.
research The Evaluation and Management of Hirsutism
Most women with excess hair growth have an underlying hormonal issue, often treated with medication and hair removal methods.
research Evaluation of Hair Follicles as a Surrogate Tissue for Pharmacodynamic Response in Xenograft Tumors
Hair follicles can be used to quickly assess drug effects in cancer treatment.
research The Effect of a 1550 Nm Fractional Erbium-Glass Laser in Female Pattern Hair Loss
Laser treatment increases hair density and thickness safely in women with hair loss.
research Hair Growth: Focus on Herbal Therapeutic Agents
Some plants may help with hair growth and have fewer side effects than synthetic drugs, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness.
research Module-Based Complexity Formation: Periodic Patterning in Feathers and Hairs
The conclusion is that understanding how feathers and hairs pattern can help in developing hair regeneration treatments.
research Alopecia: Managing the Basics
The document concludes that treatments for female hair loss and excess body hair are available, but managing expectations is important.
research The Diagnosis and Treatment of Iron Deficiency and Its Potential Relationship to Hair Loss
