This case report describes a patient with corticosteroid-resistant ophiasis alopecia areata who experienced prompt hair regrowth after receiving platelet-rich plasma injections.

This study found that monilethrix in three unrelated European families is linked to the type II keratin gene cluster on chromosome 12q13, with no evidence of defects in type I keratins.

In this study, researchers found that the expression of laminin, collagen type IV, and fibronectin in fetal human skin begins in hair follicle germs and extends to epidermal cells by 21 weeks gestational age.

MK-386 and finasteride together effectively reduce DHT levels, potentially treating acne and male pattern baldness.

This study observed that hair characteristics significantly impact daily life, self-image, and well-being, varying by gender, ethnicity, and country, suggesting a need for interventions to address these psychological and social effects.

This study suggests that both age and photoexposure may decrease maximum viable epidermis thickness and impact the dermal-epidermal junction in women with Fitzpatrick skin types II-III.

This study established that a human epidermal model can be utilized to assess 5alpha-reductase activity and evaluate enzyme modulators, such as finasteride, for dermatological applications.

This study found that injury-induced proliferation of wild-type cells can suppress oncogenic growth in Ras-mosaic skin.

A thorough assessment and combined treatment are crucial for managing complex alopecia, especially in patients with skin of color.

In this study, researchers found that the protein eIF4E is crucial for keratinocyte proliferation in psoriasis, suggesting it as a potential treatment target for the condition.

This study's review of existing research found insufficient data to determine the impact of skin type on the effectiveness of low-light laser therapy for hair growth in androgenetic alopecia, with a notable lack of data on darker skin types.

This study reports previously unrecognized cellular complexity in growing mouse incisors, suggesting species-specific differences in cell dynamics between mouse and human teeth related to growth and differentiation.

This study found that measuring 24-OHase induction by 1,25(OH)2D3 in cultured skin fibroblasts is a sensitive test for detecting genetic defects in the 1,25(OH)2D effector pathway.

This study found that the SRD5A2 A49T A variant is associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer, lower circulating 3α‐diolG levels, and a decreased risk of baldness.

This study found that finasteride at 1 mg/day was the most effective dose for treating male pattern hair loss, with similar efficacy to 5 mg/day and better results than lower doses.

Men with baldness have higher levels of specific proteins, suggesting local hormone production may play a role in hair loss.

This study found that type 2 diabetes was associated with a higher risk of severe central scalp hair loss in African American women.

This study found that the pH dependency of rat steroid 5α-reductase type II isozyme significantly affects its kinetic properties, including Vmax and Km, suggesting past discrepancies in literature may arise from these pH variances during assays.

In this randomized controlled trial involving breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, this study investigated the efficacy of low-level light therapy for preventing hair loss, measuring outcomes like hair count and patient quality of life, but the abstract does not report specific results.

In this study, researchers found that canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling and Wnt-ligand expression are distinctly regulated during wound healing across different cell populations and immunity conditions, particularly under type 2 immunity.

This study found insufficient data to determine the effect of skin type on laser-induced hair growth for androgenic alopecia, with only one study suggesting a potential positive effect for darker skin types.

This study investigated the impact of the JAK inhibitor ruxolitinib on APS-1 patients, reporting that treatment decreased excessive T-cell-derived interferon-γ, normalized inflammatory markers, and led to remission of several autoimmune symptoms without serious adverse effects.

In this multicenter study, androgenetic alopecia was the most common type of alopecia among both men and women attending specialty hair clinics on four continents.

This study found that while porcine skin resembles human skin, there are significant regional differences in skin composition and morphology, which could affect its use as a human analogue in research.

This study found that Ishige sinicola extract stimulated osteoblast differentiation and bone formation in MC3T3-E1 cells, suggesting potential use for osteoporosis prevention and treatment.

This study found that intrathymic injection of recipient-type splenocytes into donor rats, combined with antilymphocyte antiserum, effectively prevented graft-versus-host disease for up to 300 days.

This review found that among young adults with type 1 diabetes, hearing loss prevalence ranged from 22.6% to 48.0% and was associated with age, diabetes duration, and systolic blood pressure, while peridontitis and alveolar bone loss also showed varying prevalence patterns.

This review examines the various types of alopecia, their impact on hair growth and appearance, and discusses potential future treatments, by analyzing changes in hair structure and physiology throughout life.
