The document concludes that understanding hair biology is key to treating hair disorders, with gene therapy showing potential as a future treatment.
research Abstracts from the Symposium on the Pathophysiology of Hair Growth Organized by the Institute of Dermatology at the Royal Society of Medicine, 29 October 1987
The symposium concluded that hair growth involves complex processes, including the hair follicle life cycle, the role of the dermal papilla, hair strength, pigmentation, and the impact of diseases and treatments like minoxidil on hair and skin.
research Secondary Cicatricial and Other Permanent Alopecias
The document concludes that permanent hair loss conditions are complex, require early specific treatments, and "secondary permanent alopecias" might be a more accurate term than "secondary cicatricial alopecia."

An 8-year-old Saudi boy was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder causing hair loss, skin issues, and light sensitivity.
research Ichthyosis Follicularis With Alopecia and Photophobia
Two boys had a rare skin condition needing to be differentiated from similar disorders, with unclear inheritance due to few cases.
research Mutations in SREBF1, Encoding Sterol Regulatory Element Binding Transcription Factor 1, Cause Autosomal-Dominant IFAP Syndrome
Changes in the SREBF1 gene cause a rare genetic skin and hair disorder.
research Expert Consensus on the Management of Telogen Effluvium in India
Indian dermatologists recommend treating common hair loss with a balanced diet, stress reduction, mild shampoos, and sometimes minoxidil and supplements.
research Telogen Effluvium: Causes, Diagnosis, and Treatments
Telogen Effluvium is a condition causing excessive hair loss due to stress, illness, drugs, or hormonal changes, and can be treated with specific products or naturally resolves after 3-4 years.
research Diagnosis and Management of Hair Loss in Pediatric Patients
Proper diagnosis and treatment of hair loss in children are crucial to prevent lasting issues and maintain their quality of life.
research An Analytical Study of Serum Ferritin, Vitamin D, and Thyroid Function in Females with Diffuse Hair Loss

research The Lanceolate Hair Rat Phenotype Results from a Missense Mutation in a Calcium Coordinating Site of the Desmoglein 4 Gene
A gene mutation causes lanceolate hair in rats by disrupting hair shaft integrity.
research Genetic Hair and Nail Disorders
Recent progress has been made in understanding inherited hair and nail disorders.
research A Review of Modern Surgical Hair Restoration Techniques
Modern hair restoration techniques have evolved from punch grafting to methods like micro-grafting and follicular unit transplantation, but they are labor-intensive, expensive, and can lead to patient dissatisfaction. Future treatments may involve cloned hair follicles and drugs like finasteride.
research A Novel Mutation in Hr Causes Abnormal Hair Follicle Morphogenesis in Hairpoor Mouse, an Animal Model for Marie Unna Hereditary Hypotrichosis
A new mutation in the Hr gene causes hair loss in mice, similar to a human hair disorder.
research Presence of a Deletion Mutation (c.716delA) in the Ligand Binding Domain of the Vitamin D Receptor in an Indian Patient with Vitamin D-Dependent Rickets Type II
A genetic mutation caused severe rickets and alopecia in an Indian patient, but high-dose calcium and phosphate treatment improved their condition.
research A Novel Mutation in ST14 at a Functionally Significant Amino Acid Residue Expands the Spectrum of Ichthyosis-Hypotrichosis Syndrome
A new mutation in the ST14 gene broadens the understanding of ichthyosis-hypotrichosis syndrome.
research Colored Dots on Trichoscopy—Beware of Artifacts
Some hair products can create false signs on scalp examinations, leading to wrong diagnoses.
research Assessment, Reliability, and Validity of Trichoscopy in the Evaluation of Alopecia in Women
Trichoscopy is a quick and reliable way to diagnose hair loss in women.
research Poly(rC) Binding Protein 2 Acts as a Negative Regulator of IRES-Mediated Translation of Hr mRNA
A protein called PCBP2 controls the production of a hair growth protein by interacting with its genetic message and is linked to hair loss when this control is disrupted.
research Alopecia With Vitamin D-Dependent Rickets Type 2A: A Case Report
A child with a rare vitamin D-resistant condition improved with treatment.
research A Cross-Sectional Observational Study to Correlate the Trichoscopic Findings of Female Pattern Hair Loss with the Disease Severity and Underlying Histopathological Changes
Trichoscopic features help diagnose and assess female pattern hair loss severity, with inflammation playing a key role.
research A Rare Case of Keratosis Follicularis Spinulosa Decalvans Affecting a Female Child
A girl with a rare skin condition called Keratosis Follicularis Spinulosa Decalvans showed no significant improvement with treatment.
research Juvenile Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Presenting Only as Nonscarring Alopecia
