      research Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia: A Case Report of a 66-Year-Old Caucasian Woman

      July 2015 in “Journal of the Dermatology Nurses’ Association”
      A 66-year-old woman experienced hair loss due to Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, a condition with no consistently effective treatment, but it usually stabilizes over time. More research is needed for better understanding and treatment options.

      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.
      Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways

      research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways

      1 citations, May 2017 in “InTech eBooks”
      Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.

      in Research/Science  9 upvotes 1 month ago
      The conversation discusses the scalp tension theory as a potential factor in hair loss, alongside DHT, inflammation, and other mechanisms. Treatments mentioned include finasteride, minoxidil, and botox injections, with some users exploring additional methods due to varying effectiveness.
      Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

      community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

      in Research  692 upvotes 3 months ago
      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
