Hair feels different when touched and rubs together in various ways.

This study observed an alopecia syphilitica-like pattern of hair loss in a woman with frontal fibrosing alopecia, suggesting it may be another atypical presentation of the condition.

In this study, bicalutamide showed promise in managing female pattern hair loss and reducing minoxidil-induced hypertrichosis, though further research is necessary to refine its use and establish its role in treatment.

Telogen effluvium is a condition that causes temporary hair loss.

This study found that lower serum BDNF levels were associated with higher depression severity and more severe alopecia areata in patients.

This study observed that frontal fibrosing alopecia in postmenopausal women involves selective follicular inflammation, and finasteride treatment may slow disease progression, suggesting a potential androgen-related component.

This letter to the editor describes a case of acquired progressive kinking of the hair in a Korean female adolescent, but no new research findings are reported.

In this study, a novel DCAF17 gene mutation was identified in a Chinese family, suggesting a potential role in pancreatic β cell dysfunction and diabetes development in Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome.

This study suggests that Breezula® and Minoxidil both enhance hair growth in male pattern hair loss by promoting keratinocyte proliferation, with Breezula® potentially more potent in reducing the hair growth inhibitor IL-6.

This report describes ten cases of pityriasis amiantacea to raise awareness of this uncommon scalp condition, highlighting its negative test findings and its uncertain association with other skin diseases.

This review covers the clinical presentation and challenges in treating frontal fibrosing alopecia in postmenopausal women and concludes that more research is needed to understand its etiology and develop effective treatments.

In 2013, the FTC settled with hair company Bosley over claims it illegally shared business information with a competitor.

This study evaluated the treatment of dandruff in a 19-year-old female using Tankan Bhasma mixed with coconut oil twice weekly, finding it effective and safe in reducing symptoms and improving scalp health.

Bicalutamide may reduce hair shedding in women but needs longer trials to confirm its effectiveness.

This study found that mange-infected bare-nosed wombats have increased heat loss, higher metabolic rates, altered behavior, and disrupted fatty acid composition compared to healthy individuals.

This discussion suggests that acquired progressive kinking of hair in androgen-dependent scalp areas may indicate the early stages of androgenetic alopecia with a poor prognosis, but it offers no new clinical findings.

In this study, researchers developed a dissolvable microneedle patch containing baricitinib for alopecia areata treatment, reporting significantly higher hair growth in mouse models compared to controls, suggesting its potential as an effective, pain-free topical therapy.

This study found that the aerial roots of Ficus benghalensis Linn contain flavonoids, phenolics, and saponins, with an ethyl acetate extract being particularly rich in flavonoids.

This study reported that 1% bexarotene gel was well tolerated and possibly effective for inducing partial hair regrowth in alopecia areata, but more rigorous trials are needed to confirm its efficacy.

This review summarizes current knowledge about Birt–Hogg–Dubé syndrome, discussing recent findings on its pathogenesis and treatment, but reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize understanding its cutaneous manifestations.

This article is a statement from Robert Niedbalski, president of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery for 2018, and contains no new research findings.

This study identified significant genetic associations with frontal fibrosing alopecia at four genomic loci, suggesting it is a genetically predisposed immuno-inflammatory disorder influenced by the HLA-B*07: 02 allele.

This study investigated a unique frontal fibrosing alopecia-like presentation of alopecia areata, finding that patients experienced an insidious, chronic course with limited scalp hair regrowth, and showed a lower response to systemic corticosteroids compared to patchy alopecia areata.

This study found that low-coverage whole-genome sequencing followed by imputation effectively identifies genetic variants associated with wool traits in Angora rabbits, offering a cost-efficient method for genetic research and breeding.

This study found that current clinical, microscopic, and laboratory analyses did not reliably distinguish Alaskan malamutes with coat funk from normal dogs, indicating more research with larger samples is needed.

This study found that A-FABP serum levels were significantly higher in male patients with androgenetic alopecia compared to controls, and the authors concluded that A-FABP could serve as a biomarker for early detection of this condition.

This study found that knocking out vinculin in mouse skin disrupts bulge stem cell quiescence by impairing force generation and mechanical stability of adherens junctions.
