Research cited in this study
19 / 19 results
research Follicular Density and Ratios in Scarring and Nonscarring Alopecia
Nonscarring alopecia has higher hair density than scarring alopecia, and hair density can help diagnose the type of alopecia.
research Molecular Basis of Androgenetic Alopecia: From Androgen to Paracrine Mediators Through Dermal Papilla
Male pattern baldness involves hormones and cell signals affecting hair growth.
research Hair Counts in Scalp Biopsy of Males and Females with Androgenetic Alopecia Compared with Normal Subjects
AGA patients have fewer hairs and smaller follicles; T:V ratio above 4:1 may indicate AGA.
research Use of the TrichoScan to Assess Female Pattern Hair Loss
TrichoScan helps identify subtle hair thinning in women with androgenetic alopecia.
research Follicular Streamers (Stelae) in Scarring and Non-Scarring Alopecia
Hair root sheaths are more common in non-scarring hair loss and help diagnose the type of hair loss.
research Dermal Fibrosis in Male Pattern Hair Loss: A Suggestive Implication of Mast Cells
Mast cells might contribute to hair loss by causing skin thickening.
research Perifollicular Fibrosis: Pathogenetic Role in Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgen hormones cause hair follicle scarring in hair loss, and finasteride helps reduce it.
research The Histopathology of Noncicatricial Alopecia
Different types of hair loss have unique features under a microscope, but a doctor's exam is important for accurate diagnosis.
research Vertical vs. Transverse Sections in Alopecia Biopsy Diagnosis
Both vertical and transverse sections are useful for diagnosing alopecia, but using both methods together is best.
research Evaluation and Treatment of Male and Female Pattern Hair Loss
Early diagnosis and treatment, using finasteride, minoxidil, or hair transplantation, improves hair loss outcomes.

Apoptosis contributes to hair loss in androgenetic alopecia.
research Alopecia Areata But Not Androgenetic Alopecia Is Characterized By A Restricted And Oligoclonal T-Cell Receptor-Repertoire Among Infiltrating Lymphocytes
Alopecia areata involves specific T-cells, unlike androgenetic alopecia.
research DNA Determination of Human Hair Bulbs in Normal and Androgenetic Alopecia
Hair loss happens due to faster cell growth and fewer cells in affected follicles.
research CD44 Expression in Alopecia Areata and Androgenetic Alopecia
No CD44 in alopecia areata, present in normal and androgenetic alopecia.
research Diagnostic and Predictive Value of Horizontal Sections of Scalp Biopsy Specimens in Male Pattern Androgenetic Alopecia
Horizontal scalp biopsy sections effectively diagnose and predict MPAA, with follicular density and inflammation impacting hair regrowth.
research The Transverse Anatomy of Androgenic Alopecia
The study found that horizontal sections of scalp biopsies are better for analyzing hair loss, showing fewer hairs and more fine hairs in balding areas.
research Alopecia
The document concludes that correct diagnosis of alopecia types is crucial, scalp biopsies are important, and more research is needed.
research Male Pattern Alopecia: A Histopathologic and Histochemical Study
Male pattern baldness involves smaller hair follicles, larger oil glands, and other tissue changes, but not major blood supply issues.
