research The Female Pattern Hair Loss: Review of Etiopathogenesis and Diagnosis
Female pattern hair loss involves hormonal factors, genetics, and may be linked to low ferritin levels.
research Lichen Planopilaris: A Rare Inflammatory Cicatricial Alopecia
Lichen planopilaris is a rare, chronic condition causing hair loss, mainly in middle-aged women, and early treatment is important to prevent permanent baldness.
research Alopecias: Practical Tips for the Management of Biopsies and Main Diagnostic Clues for General Pathologists and Dermatopathologists
The document concludes that understanding hair follicle histology and the hair cycle is crucial for diagnosing alopecia.
research Involvement of Follicular Stem Cells in Forming Not Only the Follicle but Also the Epidermis
Hair follicle stem cells can form both hair follicles and skin.
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 C002 Vasculitis: A Differential Diagnostic Approach
The document concludes that corticosteroids effectively treat vasculitis allergica in over 90% of cases, with long-term kidney issues being the main adverse outcome.
research Hair Disorders
Different hair disorders have specific treatments and outcomes, with some resolving on their own and others requiring medication or emotional support.
research Ex Vivo Dermatoscopy of Scalp Specimens and Slides
Ex vivo dermatoscopy may lower lab costs and improve diagnosis speed for hair loss biopsies.
research Application of Multiphoton Microscopy in Dermatological Studies: A Mini-Review
Multiphoton microscopy is a promising tool for detailed skin imaging and could improve patient care if its challenges are addressed.
research Qualification of a New and Precise Automatic Tool for the Assessment of Hair Diameters in Phototrichograms
The new automatic tool accurately measures hair thickness and is reliable.
research Viable Terminal Scalp Hair Follicles Are Necessary and Sufficient for Clinical Efficacy of Finasteride in Male Pattern Hair Loss
Finasteride works for hair loss by maintaining existing hair follicles, not reversing miniaturization.
research Hair Loss and Hair Restoration in Women
Hair loss in women is complex to diagnose and treat, and hair restoration should be done by experts. Using minoxidil before surgery can help manage post-surgery hair shock loss. The Follicular Unit Transplantation method is recommended for women due to its speed, no need for shaving, and better graft quality. Strategies like L, T, and reverse L patterns can help restore central hair density, and regenerative methods can improve graft survival in hair transplants.
research Non-Neoplastic Disorders of Hair
The document concludes that different types of hair loss have specific treatments, and early diagnosis is crucial for preventing permanent hair loss.
research Hair and Scalp Disorders in Ethnic Populations
Different hair care practices and conditions affect African American hair and scalp health, requiring specialized knowledge for treatment.
research Investigation of Follicular and Non-Follicular Pathways for Polyarginine and Oleic Acid-Modified Nanoparticles
Surface-modified nanoparticles mainly use non-follicular pathways to enhance skin permeation of ibuprofen and could improve treatment for inflammatory skin diseases.
research Female Androgenetic Alopecia: An Update on Diagnosis and Management
FAGA diagnosis uses blood tests and trichoscopy, with treatments like topical minoxidil, oral anti-androgens, and hormone-modulating drugs.
research MALDI Imaging Mass Spectrometry of Skin: Aspects of Sample Preparation
MALDI Imaging Mass Spectrometry is a useful method for studying skin conditions, but sample preparation is crucial for accurate results.
research Alopecia Areata: Gene Expression in Skin Samples from Patients
Alopecia areata involves immune response and gene changes affecting hair loss.
research Polarized Microscopy as a Helpful Tool to Distinguish Chronic Nonscarring Alopecia From Scarring Alopecia
Polarized microscopy is a quick and free method to correctly identify types of hair loss.
research Dermoscopy: Not Just for Dermatologists
Dermoscopy is useful for many health professionals, not just dermatologists, in improving skin condition diagnoses and reducing unnecessary biopsies.
research American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery - 2018 Late-Breaking Abstracts

research Penetration Profile of Microspheres in Follicular Targeting of Terminal Hair Follicles
Microspheres about 1.5 micrometers in size can best penetrate hair follicles, potentially reaching important stem cells.
research Transfollicular Drug Delivery: Is It a Reality?
Hair follicles may soon be used more for targeted and systemic drug delivery.
research Immunohistochemical Localization of Types 1 and 2 5α-Reductase in Human Scalp
The study found that two enzymes linked to hair loss are located in different parts of the scalp, supporting a common treatment's effectiveness.
research Delivery and Targeting of Nanoparticles into Hair Follicles
Nanoparticles can improve skin treatments by better targeting hair follicles, but more research is needed for advancement.
