Glossary Cyclic Alopecia

hair loss occurs in recurring cycles

Cyclic Alopecia refers to a condition where hair loss occurs in a recurring pattern or cycle. This means that periods of hair shedding are followed by periods of hair regrowth, creating a repetitive cycle. It can be influenced by various factors, including hormonal changes, stress, or underlying medical conditions.

research `Cyclic alopecia' inMsx2mutants: defects in hair cycling and hair shaft differentiation

158 citations , December 2002 in “Development”

In this study, Msx2-deficient mice showed progressive hair loss due to shortened anagen phase and prolonged catagen and telogen phases, resulting in cyclic alopecia with structurally abnormal hair shafts.

research The disruption of Sox21-mediated hair shaft cuticle differentiation causes cyclic alopecia in mice

73 citations , May 2009 in “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences”

This study found that disrupting the Sox21 gene in mice led to progressive hair loss and regrowth, identifying Sox21 as a key regulator of hair shaft cuticle differentiation.

research Cyclic Alopecia and Abnormal Epidermal Cornification in Zdhhc13 -Deficient Mice Reveal the Importance of Palmitoylation in Hair and Skin Differentiation

16 citations , June 2015 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”

This study found that DHHC13 is crucial for hair anchoring and skin barrier function, with its deficiency in Zdhhc13(skc4) mice leading to cyclic alopecia and skin abnormalities due to cornifelin deficiencies.

Secretory Phospholipase A2-IIA Overexpressing Mice Exhibit Cyclic Alopecia Mediated Through Aberrant Hair Shaft Differentiation and Impaired Wound Healing Response

research Secretory phospholipase A2-IIA overexpressing mice exhibit cyclic alopecia mediated through aberrant hair shaft differentiation and impaired wound healing response

7 citations , September 2017 in “Scientific Reports”

This study found that overexpression of sPLA2-IIA in homozygous mice resulted in cyclic alopecia, a halt in hair follicle cycling, and impaired wound healing due to complete loss of hair follicle stem cells.

Sequential Cyclic Changes of Hair Roots Revealed by Dermoscopy Demonstrate a Progressive Mechanism of Diffuse Alopecia Areata Over Time

research Sequential cyclic changes of hair roots revealed by dermoscopy demonstrate a progressive mechanism of diffuse alopecia areata over time

4 citations , October 2018 in “Experimental Dermatology”

This study suggests that diffuse alopecia areata initially involves an intense inflammatory attack during the anagen phase, progressing through different hair cycle stages with specific shedding patterns.

A 25-year-old is experiencing chronic telogen effluvium (TE) and androgenetic alopecia (AGA) after surgery, using finasteride, red light therapy, and supplements, and considering oral minoxidil despite heart concerns. They are unsure whether to start minoxidil before or after an upcoming surgery, which may trigger another hair shed.

community The mechanism of androgenic alopecia

36 upvotes 11 months ago

DHT may inhibit hair growth by affecting mitochondrial function, leading to hair follicle miniaturization. Treatments like minoxidil and PP405 may promote hair growth by altering metabolic pathways, potentially counteracting DHT's effects.

Got small bald circles with no warning? Centella creams might calm the area and kickstart new growth. There is no published human trial of Centella asiatica for alopecia areata or any other hair loss; the only hair-related studies are cell-culture work. Community users describe Centella creams as soothing for an irritated scalp, not as regrowth treatments, and a new bald patch needs a doctor's diagnosis first.
