October 2013 in “Journal of the American College of Cardiology” This study investigates the potential link between atrial fibrillation and circulating aldosterone levels related to cardiac fibrosis in patients with hypertension.
December 2017 in “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology” This article does not contain an abstract, so it provides no new research findings or clinical results.
3 citations

September 2016 in “Hair transplant forum international” This abstract outlines the clinical onset of androgenetic alopecia as the most common cause of male pattern baldness but reports no further results.
September 2025 in “Scientific periodicals of Ukraine” This study reports on a 46-year-old patient with pseudopelades of Brocq, highlighting the effectiveness of early diagnosis and treatment in preventing atrophy and controlling hair loss, as positive clinical outcomes were noted after prescribed therapy.
May 2002 in “Dermatologic Surgery” This article describes a method for evaluating and treating the temporal peak regions in hair restoration surgery to achieve cosmetic harmony with the frontal hairline, while reporting no new clinical findings.
7 citations
,
October 2018 in “Aesthetic Surgery Journal” This study found that hairline lowering surgery using a bone tunneling technique without Endotine effectively reduced forehead length and achieved high patient satisfaction among 91 participants, with results sustained over 12 months and minimal reported complications.
January 2024 in “Revista Dermatológica Centro Uraga” This report describes two male patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, a lymphocytic scarring hair loss condition often seen in postmenopausal women, highlighting its occurrence in men and its manifestation around the frontal hairline and other body areas.
This study presents a new model for the progression of androgenetic alopecia, suggesting that the loss of attachment between the bulge's stem cells and the arrector pili muscle may contribute to irreversible hair miniaturization.

,
September 2008 in “British journal of dermatology/British journal of dermatology, Supplement” This study observed that frontal fibrosing alopecia predominantly affects postmenopausal women, can be associated with lichen planus, and may lead to progressive hairline recession, though this progression is not consistent in all cases.
December 2025 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” This paper introduces the Vertex Overload Framework for androgenetic alopecia, suggesting that chronic mechanical and thermal stress on the vertex contributes to hair follicle miniaturization, with androgens acting as co-mediators of stress adaptation rather than isolated causes.
January 2012 in “Yearbook of Dermatology and Dermatologic Surgery” Alopecia areata is a hair loss condition that often starts before age 30 and can affect various body parts, with unpredictable hair regrowth chances.
July 2026 in “Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology” The occipital scalp is affected in advanced hair loss, so it shouldn't be used as a control.

,
May 2012 in “Journal of Craniofacial Surgery” This case report describes a successful frontal region reconstruction using Cerament for a 50-year-old man, resulting in satisfactory forehead morphology and improved appearance four years post-surgery.
January 2019 in “International journal of dermatology, venereology and leprosy sciences” This study observed that hair loss in 110 patients most commonly appeared as patchy alopecia and was predominantly non-cicatricial and acquired in nature.
26 citations
,
January 2013 in “BMJ Open” This meta-analysis reports that vertex baldness is associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease, particularly in younger men, while no significant link was found for frontal baldness.
2 citations
,
January 2003 in “PubMed” This study found that in individuals with androgenetic alopecia, the expression of apoptosis-related markers differed significantly between affected and unaffected scalp areas.
7 citations
,
January 2012 in “International Journal of Trichology” This report describes three patients with distinct conditions who exhibited rectangular-patterned occipital alopecia areata associated with their respective medical cases.
123 citations
,
December 1997 in “Calcified Tissue International” This study concluded that higher androgen levels in males and specific skeletal sites may contribute to differences in skeletal morphology, with glucocorticoids, E2, and D3 enhancing androgen receptor expression and mitogenic action in human osteoblastic cells.
103 citations
,
March 2011 in “PLoS Biology” This study found that a mutation in the BMP12/GDF7 gene is associated with the Naked neck trait in chickens, reducing neck feathering due to altered signaling pathways.
December 2019 in “Journal of pediatrics & neonatology” This case report discusses the diagnosis and management of temporal triangular alopecia in a pediatric patient experiencing asymptomatic hair loss, emphasizing its nonprogressive nature and poor prognosis for regrowth.
January 2012 in “Chinese Journal of Aesthetic Medicine” This study found that in hair follicles, androgen receptor expression is stronger in the hair loss and transitional areas compared to the occipital region, suggesting a role in male pattern baldness.
June 2019 in “Medicine and science in sports and exercise” This case report documents a 20-year-old female runner with recurrent bone stress injuries, concluding they were due to low bone density from uncontrolled Celiac Disease and functional hypothalamic amenorrhea from low energy availability.
