Researchers found a genetic link for hereditary hair loss but need more analysis to identify the exact gene.
research Proceedings of the Ninth World Congress for Hair Research 2015
The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
research Differential Diagnosis of Hair Loss in Children
The document concludes that early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for children with hair loss to prevent permanent damage, although not all conditions can be effectively treated.
research Clinical Hair Loss: Diagnosis and Treatment
The review suggests limited treatments for common hair loss conditions, with potential for future improvements.
research Pili Annulati with Fragility: Electron Microscopic Findings of a Case
The study found that hair fragility in Pili annulati may be caused by cavities and damage within the hair shafts.
research Enrichment of Specific Hair Follicle-Associated Cell Populations in Plucked Hairs Offers an Opportunity to Study Gene Expression Underlying Hair Traits
Plucked hairs can be used instead of skin biopsies to study hair traits because they contain specific cells related to hair.
research Similar Response Patterns to Topical Minoxidil Foam 5% in Frontal and Vertex Scalp of Men with Androgenetic Alopecia: A Microarray Analysis
Minoxidil foam 5% effectively treats hair loss in both frontal and vertex scalp regions.
research Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex in Children with De Novo Pathogenic Variants Disturbing KRT14
Three specific genetic variants cause severe skin issues in children with EBS, highlighting the need for early genetic screening.
research Genomic and Transcriptomic Characterization of Atypical Recurrent Flank Alopecia in the Cesky Fousek
The study found that the hair loss condition in Cesky Fousek dogs is influenced by multiple genes affecting skin and muscle structure, fat metabolism, and immunity.
research Effect of Varied Hair Protein Fractions on the Gel Properties of Keratin/Chitosan Hydrogels for Use in Tissue Engineering
Different hair protein amounts change the strength of keratin/chitosan gels, useful for making predictable tissue engineering materials.
research Comprehensive Transcriptome Profiling of Balding and Non-Balding Scalps in Trichorhinophalangeal Syndrome Type I Patient
The study found genetic differences related to hair development that may explain hair loss in a patient with Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome type I.
