This case report describes a 3-year-old male with X-linked ichthyosis and associated neurologic abnormalities, identifying an unusual cortical development malformation and suggesting that abnormal hair banding may assist diagnosis.

In this study conducted at Saveetha Dental College, researchers found that the severity of male androgenetic alopecia, as graded by Norwood's classification, increased with age, although other factors such as genetic or hormonal influences were not assessed.

In this study, significant upregulation of the genes SFRP2 and PTGDS was found in bald hair follicles of female pattern hair loss patients compared to non-bald follicles, suggesting these genes may be biomarkers and play a role in hair loss for this condition.

This study found that sebaceous glands in bald scalp have greater androgen binding affinity and capacity than those in hairy scalp, possibly contributing to the androgenic response seen in male pattern baldness.

This study found that trained observers using the Hamilton-Norwood classification were very reliable in assessing balding patterns, while men's self-assessments were moderately accurate compared to observers.

This study characterized the incidence of hair loss patterns among men of different races, highlighting a lack of direct racial comparisons in previous research.

Minoxidil and platelet-rich plasma can help turn thin hair into thicker hair in male pattern baldness.

This abstract discusses a randomized trial comparing rosemary oil and minoxidil 2% for treating androgenetic alopecia, but it reports no new clinical results; the authors mention ongoing research.

This study suggests that vellus to terminal hair follicle reconversion can occur in male pattern androgenetic alopecia using an in vivo model with minoxidil and platelet-rich plasma treatment.

This study found that four microRNAs, which were significantly upregulated in balding hair follicle papilla cells, could play a role in the development of male pattern baldness.

This study found that women with female pattern baldness often had a higher ratio of 3 alpha,17 beta-androstanediol glucuronide to sex hormone-binding globulin and lower serum sex hormone-binding globulin, possibly indicating minimal androgen excess.

This study identified SFRP2 and PTGDS as potential biomarkers for female pattern hair loss, finding these genes consistently upregulated in bald hair follicles from all 18 patients, which may contribute to understanding the condition's pathogenesis and developing targeted treatments.

This study found no significant differences in sex-hormone binding globulin and androgen serum levels between women with stage II androgenetic alopecia and controls, suggesting that genetically-determined androgen sensitivity might play a major role in the condition.

In this study, women with diffuse alopecia were found to have higher serum levels of adrenal androgen DHEAS, which may contribute to disrupted scalp hair growth.

In this study, researchers found that severe androgenic alopecia in hospitalized men was associated with a higher likelihood of testing positive for COVID-19.

This article discusses the significance of anatomic zones in hair loss and underscores the importance for hair restoration surgeons to understand these patterns and their implications for future treatments, but reports no new clinical findings.

This proposal presents a standardized system for naming areas of the balding scalp to improve communication among hair restoration professionals, defining major regions and introducing new landmarks.

This study discusses patterns of androgenetic alopecia in Indian men but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that men with common male pattern baldness received less favorable initial social perceptions, including lower ratings of physical attractiveness, than their nonbalding counterparts.

In this study, a computer-aided imaging system accurately measured the width of balding areas in female pattern hair loss, correlating strongly with clinical staging severity.

In this study, the researchers developed a computer-aided imaging system to quantitatively measure baldness in Chinese women with female pattern hair loss, potentially improving the precision of severity evaluation compared to traditional scales.

This study found that dermal papilla cells from balding scalp hair follicles have significantly higher levels of androgen receptors than those from non-balding follicles, supporting their in vivo androgen response.

In this study, 53% of patients with male pattern baldness experienced significant hair growth with one year of topical minoxidil, while 95% rated its effectiveness as moderate or excellent.

This study observed that mast cells and increased collagen and elastic fibers in the scalp may contribute to male pattern hair loss, but additional research is needed for further understanding.

This commentary discusses how common latent viruses might contribute to male-pattern baldness through mechanisms involving transcription factor deficiency and overexpression of specific proteins, based on a concept called microcompetition; it reports no new research results.

This study found that older men with vertex balding had lower levels of IGFBP-3 and higher levels of IGF-1 in their plasma.

This study found that older men with vertex balding have lower circulating levels of the protein IGFBP-3 and higher levels of IGF-1.

This research discusses androgenic alopecia's potential role in severe COVID-19 symptomatology and suggests further exploration of the scalp's role in virus transmission.

This study suggests that many men with premature balding exhibit a hormonal pattern similar to some aspects of polycystic ovary syndrome in women.
