In this narrative review, researchers evaluated existing literature on the treatment of frontal fibrosing alopecia, finding that while no curative treatment exists, clinical improvements can be achieved through personalized and combined therapy approaches.

This systematic review explored the potential of cetirizine, an anti-inflammatory antihistamine, as a complementary treatment for androgenetic alopecia, reporting that it might help prevent hair follicle miniaturization by reducing inflammation and modulating immune activity, without notable side effects.

This study reviewed the medical literature on generalized woolly hair and reported that while there are no effective treatments, some narratives suggest that topical Minoxidil may help with hypotrichosis associated with the condition.

This case report highlights the successful treatment of alopecia areata universalis with Baricitinib, suggesting potential long-term effectiveness of janus kinase inhibitors for this autoimmune hair loss condition.

In this study, low-dose oral minoxidil was found to have a favorable safety profile for treating alopecia, with mostly mild side effects, in both general and hypertensive populations.

In this case study, a patient with longstanding androgenetic alopecia and systemic lupus erythematosus showed a positive response to both oral and topical minoxidil after suboptimal outcomes from previous treatments, highlighting the importance of timely diagnosis and management to reduce psychiatric risk factors.

This review summarizes current knowledge on the role of the JAK/STAT signaling pathway in alopecia areata and suggests moderate efficacy of systemic inhibitors, with low adverse events but high recurrence rates.

This review discusses the characteristics of alopecia areata, a sudden, non-scarring hair loss condition with autoimmune origins, and reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that typical skin lesions in Carney complex may originate from the pro-melanogenic activity of a specific dermal fibroblast population influenced by PKA signaling.

In this descriptive retrospective study, researchers reported that low-dose oral minoxidil (0.25-5mg/day) for androgenic alopecia demonstrated a good safety profile, with 84.4% of 641 patients experiencing no adverse effects and only 1.4% discontinuing due to side effects that resolved with dose reduction or withdrawal.

This study identified that 80% of a rural population in Ecuador uses medicinal plants like Aloe vera for treating hair conditions, highlighting the prevalence of ancestral plant knowledge.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma appeared more effective than control treatments as an additional therapy for improving acne scars in several clinical trials.

In this study, among postmenopausal women with female androgenetic alopecia, the combination of Pygeum africanum and Serenoa repens extracts at higher doses plus MSM significantly increased total hair growth and hair resistance compared to a lower dose formulation after 16 weeks.

This study observed that a combination of two mineral and nutritional supplement products increased anagen-phase hair and reduced hair loss in women with androgenetic alopecia and acute or chronic telogen effluvium after four months.

Different oils affect hair flexibility and strength, with their impact varying on whether hair is virgin or bleached.

In this study, penetration of FA-PLGA nanoparticles into hair follicles was observed in excised dog, rat, and porcine skin, with the deepest penetration in porcine skin, suggesting its similarity to human skin for drug delivery studies.

This study observed that topical oligonucleotide penetration in mouse skin involves a follicular route, suggesting potential suitability for targeting hair follicle-related structures.

In this study, FITC-labeled BSA nanocarriers delivered a model drug deeper into porcine ear skin hair follicles than the carriers themselves, as shown by confocal microscopy.

This review highlights the promising potential of 3D printing for creating microneedles with precise customization and improved performance compared to traditional micromolding, emphasizing applications in personalized medical devices and advancements in biomedical fields.

Hair follicle stem cells rely on nearby blood vessels for their maintenance and function.

This review discusses the potential applications and advantages of encapsulating single cells for use in therapeutics and diagnostics, while also evaluating various methods for effectively creating and sorting single-cell units despite challenges in production and cost.

This study found that minoxidil solubilized in gelatin-containing microemulsions resulted in over 5% of the drug remaining in porcine skin, significantly more than the reference gel.

This study found that methanolic extract of Eclipta alba leaves exhibited strong antibacterial effects against certain pathogens including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, but it showed no activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, including drug-resistant strains.

In this study, researchers used two dermal papilla spheroid models to investigate hair cycle regression mechanisms and found that the vascular system enhances tissue physiology and gene modulation, while Retinol-based treatments can partially recover tissue degeneration observed over an extended culture period.

In this study, the authors explored the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for typical sports injuries and cosmetic surgical wounds, finding that a hormetic dose-response relationship could explain the observed successes, contrary to prevailing expert opinion that deemed this treatment ineffective for normal wounds.

This review discusses the increased incidence of hair loss and telogen effluvium among COVID-19 patients and evaluates existing evidence for regenerative treatments like PRP and HFSCs, finding limited published data.

This study reported that newly developed minoxidil Pickering emulsion gels, designed using cellulose stabilizers, showed promising results for promoting hair regrowth and targeting hair follicles by enhancing the delivery and stabilization properties of the formulation in a hair loss treatment context.

This study examines the similarities and differences in the pathogenesis of autoimmune conditions alopecia areata and vitiligo, highlighting shared features like immune cell involvement and cytokine pathways, while noting differing immune responses in skin and hair.

This study reported that a modified nanoprecipitation protocol can effectively create PLA nanoparticles capable of delivering compounds into hair follicles, with promising potential for hair follicle therapy and cosmetic applications.

This review discusses hair shaft disorders, noting the lack of specific treatments and recommending general care practices to prevent hair damage, with some improvement possible during puberty or with treatments like minoxidil.
