This review discusses the historical and cultural perspectives on chocolate's perceived medicinal benefits but reports no new clinical research findings, highlighting the longstanding appeal of chocolate as a remedy.

Genetics and hormones cause hair loss; finasteride treats it safely.

Hair restoration is advancing with new treatments and needs collaboration across fields for effective, evidence-based care.

This study reports the first instance of skin autotomy in mammals, specifically in African spiny mice, and suggests they may possess a greater regenerative capacity than previously understood, possibly offering insights for regenerative medicine.

This study found that psychoemotional stress disrupts hair growth in mice by terminating anagen and suggests a potential pathway for pharmacological management of stress-related hair loss in humans.

This randomized pilot study suggests that finasteride may benefit some men with category IIIA chronic pelvic pain syndrome, although it is not recommended as monotherapy unless benign prostatic hyperplasia is also present.

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 study found that aromatherapy involving essential oils significantly improved symptoms of alopecia areata compared to carrier oils alone in a randomized controlled trial.

This study found that low-level light therapy significantly increased hair density and diameter in androgenetic alopecia patients compared to a sham device, suggesting it could be an effective treatment option.

This study found that traction alopecia risk was higher in adults than children and increased further when traction was combined with chemically relaxed hair.

In this study, low-level laser therapy showed no statistically significant improvements in hair growth measures, despite some patients experiencing increases in terminal hairs and shaft diameter.

In this study, increased corticosterone from chronic stress prolonged hair follicle stem cell quiescence in mice, inhibiting regeneration, but restoring Gas6 expression overcame this inhibition.

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 low level laser therapy with a HairMax LaserComb improved hair counts and tensile strength in patients with androgenetic alopecia, particularly in males and vertex areas.

This study observed that human hair follicles were able to regenerate fiber-forming structures after the bulb was amputated and transplanted onto athymic mice, suggesting a general regenerative capacity.

This review discusses what is known about the pathobiology of frontal fibrosing alopecia and reports no new clinical findings, highlighting potential environmental and genetic factors in disease pathogenesis.

This study reported that the prevalence of atopic dermatitis in cats was higher than previously suggested, with severe nonseasonal pruritus most common, and certain breeds were predisposed.

This review discusses the varied use and inconsistent reporting of platelet rich plasma in aesthetic surgery, finding that current studies lack consistent methodologies and objective evidence, and reports no new clinical results.

This study reports that oral spironolactone may be a useful and low-cost first-line treatment for hidradenitis suppurativa in women, with relatively few side effects.

This study suggests that Malassezia spp. overgrowth may contribute to pruritus and skin lesions in allergic cats, with antifungal treatments alone providing substantial improvements.

This article describes the development and validation of a standardized instrument for measuring skin involvement in cutaneous lupus erythematosus, aiming to aid future clinical research and trials.

This study found that low-level laser therapy may improve hair growth in patients with androgenetic alopecia, either as a standalone treatment or combined with minoxidil or finasteride, without reported adverse reactions.

The book is recommended for its new scientific information and balanced treatment options for hair loss in domestic animals.

This study found that children with alopecia areata experienced more stressful life events and excreted higher levels of catecholamines compared to healthy siblings.

This article reports two cases where 2% topical minoxidil showed promise in treating traction alopecia, but it does not offer broader clinical conclusions.

In this study, cyclosporin effectively controlled cases of granulomatous folliculitis, furunculosis, sebaceous adenitis in cats, and alopecia areata in a dog, positioning it as a promising alternative to glucocorticoids in veterinary dermatology.

This study observed that patients with pemphigus have a higher incidence of hypothyroidism, inflammatory bowel disease, and diabetes compared to the general population.

Use "female pattern hair loss" term, finasteride may help, more research needed.

This review discusses the limited objective evidence for using finasteride in women with alopecia, suggesting that it could be considered for those who don't benefit from minoxidil, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses medication-induced gray hair repigmentation, highlighting that certain anti-inflammatory drugs and melanogenesis stimulators can cause diffuse repigmentation, though evidence remains low-quality and these medications are not currently indicated for this purpose.
