This review discusses the evolution and ongoing debate about the causes of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in African American women, without presenting new clinical findings.

This study found that a peripilar white gray halo around hair emergence is a highly specific and sensitive dermatoscopic feature for diagnosing central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in African American patients with mild central thinning.

In this study, researchers found that Asian hair contains more integral lipids than European or African hair, which may protect it better from UV-induced damage.

This study found that a genetic variation in SRD5A2 influences the severity of PTSD symptoms in a sex-specific manner among traumatized African-American males.

The study observed that Americans of Hispanic descent have a statistically significant higher hair density than individuals of African descent but lower than Caucasians, which may assist in diagnosing and researching hair disorders.

This study reports that the duration of hair loss is positively associated with the severity of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in African-American women.

This article discusses central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, noting its prevalence in women of African descent and highlighting the need for further genetic research to improve treatment options; it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that in wound-induced hair neogenesis, African spiny mice and laboratory mice exhibit different morphogenetic field formation patterns related to tissue stiffness, suggesting evolutionary developmental biology advantages.

This paper discusses tinea capitis in adults, emphasizing that it particularly affects postmenopausal African American or Black women, and notes challenges in treatment due to antifungal resistance.

This article discusses the characteristics and pathogenesis of pseudofolliculitis barbae, particularly its prevalence in men of African and Asian descent, but presents no new research findings.

This study found that the prevalence of androgenetic alopecia in Turkish society is higher than in Asian and African communities but similar to European populations.

This article reviews central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, particularly in women of African descent, and explains its progression and symptoms but provides no new clinical findings.

This article presents a unique case of post-partum panhypopituitarism and autoimmune conditions in a 37-year-old woman from Africa, emphasizing the need for early diagnosis and treatment to improve outcomes in similar settings.

In this rare case report, the researchers described a 66-year-old African woman with lipedematous alopecia, highlighting its clinical features, the significance of palpation in examinations, and the uncertainty of it being a distinct disease entity or a combination of two conditions.

In this review, the authors highlight a lack of understanding regarding the unique properties of Afro-textured hair, emphasizing the need for scientific collaboration to improve hair care practices and mitigate scalp issues.

This scoping review aims to consolidate evidence on the experiences of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy in oncology facilities across sub-Saharan Africa, highlighting common physical, psychological, and social challenges and identifying under-researched areas for future study.

This case report highlights that CCCA can present with multifocal patchy hair loss in younger men of African descent, suggesting the need for careful evaluation when diagnosing atypical alopecia patterns.

This review reports that tinea capitis is uncommon in adults, with postmenopausal African American or Black women at higher risk, and emphasizes the importance of prompt antifungal treatment to prevent complications.

In this study, central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia was the most common histopathologic diagnosis among Jamaican Afro-Caribbean patients with chronic hair loss, particularly affecting relatively young women.

This study found that a fibroin-based cosmetic ingredient improved the mechanical properties and cuticle repair of African-American and Caucasian hair types, even when damaged by chemical treatments.

This study found considerable variation in hair shaft proteomic profiles among Caucasian, African-American, Kenyan, and Korean subjects, with individual and site-specific differences observed.

More research, better treatments, and public education are needed for dermatological conditions in people of African descent.

Title change to "Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia (CCCA)"; common in African American women; hair-grooming methods may contribute; no effective therapy found; trials needed.

This study reported an increase in tinea capitis in Stockholm children, mainly caused by Trichophyton violaceum and associated with immigration from Africa and family spread.

This study reported the discovery of large-scale haplotypes (cenhaps) in human centromere regions, revealing deep genetic diversity, including introgressed Neanderthal and ancient African lineages.

This study found that in the Thai population, hair density varies by scalp location and decreases with age, and that Asians generally have lower hair density compared to Caucasian and African populations.

This study found statistically significant patterns in hair morphology and ultrastructure linked to biogeographic ancestry among European, African, and East Asian populations.

The study found that certain hair care practices, such as wearing cornrows and infrequent use of hair oil, were significantly associated with traction alopecia and seborrheic dermatitis in African American girls, but no significant link was observed with tinea capitis.

This study identified three candidate genes (CORT, FGF5, and CD36) associated with cold climate adaptation in Yanbian cattle through genome resequencing and comparison with African tropical cattle.

This review examines the devices, mechanisms, risks, side effects, and regulatory differences in laser hair removal, particularly highlighting the lack of regulation in South Africa and its implications for patient safety.
