This review explores new theories, diagnostic tools, and management strategies for primary cicatricial alopecia but reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses current knowledge and management strategies for chemotherapy-induced alopecia, highlighting the need for better research prioritization and providing patient support materials, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses recent advancements in the management and diagnosis of primary cicatricial alopecias but reports no new clinical results; emerging insights suggest sebaceous gland dysfunction may play a role in their etiopathogenesis.

This review discusses treatments for chemotherapy-induced alopecia, highlighting scalp cooling for hair loss prevention and 2% topical minoxidil for regrowth acceleration as effective options, but reports a need for more rigorous trials to validate promising new therapies.

This review discusses the interplay between hormonal and immune systems in hair follicles and reports no new results, highlighting the need for further research on their role in skin biology and alopecia areata.

This review discusses chemotherapy-induced hair loss, highlighting that topical minoxidil can lessen its severity or duration but not prevent it, and reports no new clinical results.

Alopecia areata seriously lowers quality of life, especially affecting self-image, mental health, and social life.

This review discusses the physiology of hair follicles, their disorders, and the principles behind developing treatments, reporting no new results.

This study reported that the most common hair loss disorder among children in south-east Nigeria was tinea capitis, and its clinical course was influenced by parental attitudes towards treatment.

In this study, researchers found that the existing Norwood and Hamilton classifications for androgenetic alopecia in Indian males had significant limitations, with 18% of cases not fitting into existing pattern categories.

This study suggests that chemotherapy-induced anagen effluvium represents patterned hair loss, with most patients retaining hairlines, but patterns do not vary significantly by age, symptoms, or chemotherapy type.

This review discusses advances in protecting against chemotherapy-induced alopecia and reports no new clinical results; calcitriol and cyclosporine A emerged as promising agents in animal models with broader efficacy across multiple chemotherapy drugs.

This article reviews how various drugs may cause hair loss, stimulate growth, or alter hair characteristics, but reports no new clinical results; drug-induced hair loss is typically reversible.

This study found that diffuse alopecia in female squirrel monkeys is associated with chronic telogen effluvium and appears to be predominantly age-related, potentially serving as an animal model for human diffuse alopecia.

This review discusses the development, regulation, and aging of the human hair follicle pigmentary system and suggests potential for reversing hair graying by manipulating follicle melanocytes in vitro, but reports no clinical results.

In this study on a murine model, researchers observed that a 5% minoxidil solution reduced stress-induced changes in hair growth, suggesting its potential for managing stress-related hair loss in humans.

This article reviews the concept of telogen effluvium and emphasizes the importance of identifying triggers and using diagnostic investigations to determine the cause of hair loss, without reporting new results.

This study demonstrated that stress inhibited hair growth in mice, likely through substance P-dependent activation of immune cells, highlighting a brain-hair follicle connection.

This article reviews various treatment options for androgenetic alopecia, like finasteride, camouflage agents, and surgical methods, emphasizing patient education about each approach's limitations, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses current and emerging drug therapies for treating androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata, and reports no clinical results; it highlights a need for improved and novel treatments.

This study found that women with androgenetic alopecia report various negative impacts on their lives due to hair thinning, highlighting emotional concerns and dissatisfaction with appearance.

This study found that cyclophosphamide induced significant keratinocyte apoptosis in anagen hair follicles of mice, while topical calcitriol-analogs reduced this apoptosis, suggesting a protective effect against chemotherapy-induced alopecia.

This study suggests that skin sections from 4-week-old C3H mice could serve as an in vitro model for human androgenic alopecia, as minoxidil partially reverses suppressed hair follicle elongation.

The authors concluded that chronic telogen effluvium in middle-aged women presents distinct clinical and histological features that differ from androgenetic alopecia and acute telogen effluvium.

This review examines chronic telogen effluvium, highlighting its distinctive features and the need for reassurance about its non-progressive nature, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata through a systems biology lens, emphasizing the role of multi-omics data integration to explore molecular mechanisms and potential therapeutic strategies, but offers no new clinical results.

This article reviews the genetic and potential environmental factors in alopecia areata's pathogenesis and suggests a polygenic model but reports no new clinical findings.

Minoxidil sulfate stimulates hair growth.

Minoxidil prolongs cell life, slows aging, and may produce longer hairs.

Minoxidil helped bald patient regrow hair.
