research Androgenetic Alopecia: Causes, Treatments, and Genetic Factors
Heredity and hormones cause common hair loss, and topical minoxidil is the first recommended treatment.
research A Randomized Clinical Trial of 5% Topical Minoxidil Versus 2% Topical Minoxidil and Placebo in the Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia in Men
5% minoxidil works better for hair growth and density, with minor irritation.
research Medical Treatments for Male and Female Pattern Hair Loss
Minoxidil and finasteride treat hair loss in men, while minoxidil treats hair loss in women.
research Prevalence of Male Pattern Hair Loss in 18–49 Year Old Men
Hair loss is more common in men aged 18-49 and increases with age.
research A Comparison of the Hormonal Profile of Early Androgenetic Alopecia in Men With the Phenotypic Equivalent of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome in Women
Men with early hair loss have similar hormone levels to women with PCOS, possibly increasing risk of obesity and heart issues.
research Topical Minoxidil: Cardiac Effects in Bald Men
Using topical minoxidil for baldness can cause heart problems, especially in those with heart disease.
research The Therapeutic Use of Topical Minoxidil
Minoxidil effectively treats hair loss, with better results in women.
research A Hypothetical Pathogenesis Model for Androgenic Alopecia: Clarifying the Dihydrotestosterone Paradox and Rate-Limiting Recovery Factors
The model suggests that scalp tension could lead to hair loss, with factors like blood vessel hardening, enlarged oil glands, and poor microcirculation also playing a role. It also hints at a possible link between skull shape and baldness pattern.
research Review of Human Hair Follicle Biology: Dynamics of Niches and Stem Cell Regulation for Possible Therapeutic Hair Stimulation for Plastic Surgeons
Understanding hair follicle biology and stem cell control could lead to new hair loss treatments.
research Caffeine and Its Pharmacological Benefits in the Management of Androgenetic Alopecia: A Review
Caffeine improves hair growth, thickness, and reduces shedding.
research Identification of Functional Patterns of Androgenetic Alopecia Using Transcriptome Profiling in Distinct Locations of Hair Follicles
AGA linked to inflammation, stress, fibrosis, and disturbed hair follicle stem cells.
research Relation Between Treatment Efficacy and Cumulative Dose of 3% Topical Minoxidil in Male Pattern Baldness
Using more minoxidil solution can lead to better hair growth, but people often use only half the recommended amount. Education and motivation can improve results.
research Medical Treatment of Alopecia
The most effective treatments for hair loss are minoxidil, finasteride, PRP, and hair transplants, with steroids and immunosuppressants for autoimmune types.
research Was the Epidemic Skin Disease of 1891 Due to Acute Arsenic Poisoning?
The 1891 epidemic skin disease was likely caused by arsenic poisoning, possibly from beer or fish.
research Abstracts
Finasteride is effective for male hair loss, teledermatology is accurate and accepted, and cyclosporin helps treat toxic epidermal necrolysis.
research Estimation of Serum Aldosterone, Free Testosterone, and DHEA-S and Scalp Androgen and Aldosterone Receptors in Female Androgenetic Alopecia: Is the Mystery Solved?
High aldosterone and free testosterone levels link to female hair loss; testing aldosterone may predict hypertension risk.
research New Effects of Caffeine on Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone (CRH)-Induced Stress Along the Intrafollicular Classical Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) Axis (CRH-R1/2, IP3-R, ACTH, MC-R2) and the Neurogenic Non-HPA Axis (Substance P, p75NTR and TrkA) in Ex Vivo Human Male Androgenetic Scalp Hair Follicles
Caffeine may help reduce stress-induced hair loss.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: Evaluation of Hormonal Profile and Its Systemic Implications
Hormonal imbalances are important in the development of male pattern baldness.
research Faculty Opinions Recommendation of a Comparison of the Hormonal Profile of Early Androgenetic Alopecia in Men with the Phenotypic Equivalent of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome in Women
research Trichoscopic Findings in Androgenetic Alopecia
Trichoscopy, a hair loss evaluation technique, found that people with Androgenetic Alopecia have more thin hairs, yellow dots, and perifollicular discoloration than healthy individuals.
research Bioinformatic Analysis of Gene Expression Data Reveals Src Family Protein Tyrosine Kinases as Key Players in Androgenetic Alopecia
Protein tyrosine kinases are key in male pattern baldness, affecting skin structure, hair growth, and immune responses.
research Disturbance of Immune Microenvironment in Androgenetic Alopecia Through Spatial Transcriptomics
Androgenetic alopecia involves immune cell disruptions, especially increased CD4+ T cells around hair follicles.
research Efficacy of Platelet-Rich Plasma Versus 5% Topical Minoxidil for the Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia
PRP therapy is more effective than minoxidil for treating hair loss from androgenetic alopecia.
