In this viewpoint, researchers discussed the possible role of the developmental origin of scalp dermis in influencing the specific pattern of hair follicle miniaturization seen in male pattern hair loss, noting that frontal follicles are more susceptible while occipital follicles remain largely terminal.

This study observed variability in hair density and types across different scalp areas in cadaver biopsies, providing reference values that could aid in diagnosing hair disorders in Asians.

The study found that balding scalps have more thin hairs and larger oil glands, which might contribute to skin conditions related to hair loss.
