EBF1 controls hair type and length.

This review reported that 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors were effective in stabilizing disease progression or reducing the rate of progression in some cases of frontal fibrosing alopecia, though evidence on safety remains limited.

This article reports a case of late onset linear and unilateral basaloid follicular hamartoma in an elderly male, highlighting the clinical presentation, histopathological findings, and planned treatment approach.

This study discovered that the gene Tfap2b identifies a melanocyte stem cell population in zebrafish, essential for regenerating melanocytes with multi-fate potential into adult pigment cells.

In this study, Dodatek A operationalizes the Functional Androgen Axis framework by defining three system-level indices and an efficiency metric to describe androgen function, incorporating key methodological improvements and acknowledging significant limitations for future empirical validation.

This study found that TGFbeta is a key pathway causing age-related loss of dermal fat's antimicrobial function, suggesting that targeting TGFBR might help restore skin defense against infections in older age.

The commentary suggests that certain hair and skin care products may be linked to frontal fibrosing alopecia, but not sunscreens, and calls for more thorough research on the causes.

This study found that combining oral isotretinoin with topical treatments was more effective than topical treatments alone for improving frontal fibrosing alopecia symptoms, despite some side effects.

A woman with frontal fibrosing alopecia experienced unusual hair growth after using a specific topical lotion.

Lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia are likely distinct diseases with different tissue involvement.

In this case report, a patient with frontal fibrosing alopecia and lichen planus responded well to treatment with alitretinoin, suggesting a potential therapeutic role for alitretinoin in similar cases.

This study found that the free androgen index (FAI) is a superior marker of hyperandrogenism in men with premature androgenetic alopecia compared to DHEAS and testosterone levels.

In this study, supplementing adult Bichon Frises with 600 mg/kg Omega-3 PUFAs significantly improved their skin health, hair quality, feeding behavior, and metabolic health, compared to a control diet, over six weeks.

Bicalutamide may improve hair growth in postmenopausal women with mild side effects.

The Fas/FasL pathway may play a role in alopecia areata.

This review focuses on the pharmacological properties, indications, contraindications, and safety profile of bicalutamide, a non-steroidal androgen receptor antagonist, in dermatological research, particularly its off-label use for improving female pattern hair loss as measured by Sinclair grading.

In this placebo-controlled study, finasteride significantly improved symptoms, reduced prostate size, and increased urine flow rate in patients with moderately symptomatic BPH over two years.

This study reported that heterozygosity for FHIT affects mice's susceptibility to spontaneous alopecia areata and to certain preneoplastic lesions induced by benzo[a]pyrene, but does not change how they respond to budesonide and N-acetyl-L-cysteine.

This study found that combining hair transplantation with platelet-rich plasma led to significantly better outcomes, such as reduced hair loss area and increased hair regeneration, compared to hair transplantation alone in patients with androgenic alopecia.

This study demonstrates that Bazi Bushen capsules may have therapeutic potential against skin photoaging in mice by enhancing NRF2 expression and targeting the KEAP1-NRF2 pathway.

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 found that the gut microbiota in alopecia areata patients showed distinct dysbiosis, with an overrepresentation of Firmicutes and underrepresentation of Bacteroides, aligning with patterns seen in other autoimmune disorders.

In this study, microneedle-assisted human basic fibroblast growth factor therapy was reported to significantly improve hair regeneration in both male and female patients with androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, and telogen effluvium, showing greater effectiveness in males.

This source explores the potential use of oral bicalutamide for treating female pattern hair loss, but specific results or outcomes from the study are not reported in the abstract.

In this study, the CYP 21A2 gene p.V281L mutation was associated with an increased susceptibility to familial frontal fibrosing alopecia, suggesting an antigen-driven mechanism linked to certain human leukocyte antigen haplotypes.

This study describes the development of the BASP classification system, providing a universal and systematic approach for classifying pattern hair loss in both men and women.

In this study, black wolfberry ferment was found to promote hair regrowth in mice with androgenetic alopecia by increasing hair weight, follicle count, and skin thickness, potentially through PI3K/AKT, NF-kappa B, and MAPK signaling pathways.

This study found that follistatin and activin interactions are important for hair follicle development and cycling in mice, suggesting that they may regulate processes involving BMP-2 and its antagonist.

This case report observed no hair regrowth after treating a woman with postmenopausal frontal fibrosing alopecia using systemic and local corticosteroids, suggesting the need for more innovative therapies.

In this study, patients with lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia reported a substantial impairment in quality of life and experienced high levels of stress, often considering stress a cause of their condition.
