This study found that vertex accentuation is the second most common pattern of female pattern hair loss in Asian women, following the diffuse type.

This article provides an overview of the prevalence and gender differences in baldness, but reports no new research findings.

In this case report, a 58-year-old woman was diagnosed with pseudopelada of Brocq, highlighting the diagnostic challenges of this rare scarring alopecia and underscoring the need for precise evaluation using trichoscopy and skin biopsy to avoid ineffective treatments and manage progression.

The study found that prolactin expressed in human scalp hair follicles acts as an autocrine modulator, inhibiting hair growth and promoting hair follicle regression, which may contribute to hair loss in hyper-prolactinemia patients.

This study found that decreased TRPS1 expression in balding dermal papilla cells may impair their signaling ability, contributing to hair follicle miniaturization in androgenic alopecia.

This study found that patients with alopecia had significantly higher mean serum ferritin levels compared to controls, except for those with telogen effluvium, whose levels were not significantly different.

A scalp biopsy is essential for accurately diagnosing alopecia, with a 4-mm punch biopsy sectioned horizontally being the recommended technique according to this study.

This article introduces a new column featuring multiple choice questions about hair disorders, with answers and explanations provided at the end of each column.

Frequent hairdryer use may worsen hair fragility in people with Pili Annulati.

This study found that as hair loss severity increased in women with female pattern hair loss, the number of vellus follicles also rose, indicating miniaturization of terminal hair follicles.

Immune system changes may contribute to female pattern hair loss.

This case report highlights the successful use of the Bardach modification of the curved tripod flap for repairing cicatricial pressure alopecia, offering a natural appearance and effective tension distribution in scalp reconstruction.

In this review, the authors discuss how hair may protect against scalp skin cancer by enabling IL-17-biased immunosurveillance, while hair loss could permit tumor development by reducing this immune protection.

This article reviews the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and management of androgenetic alopecia, highlighting recent insights into stem cell niches in hair follicles without presenting new experimental findings.

This study describes a simplified method for isolating and cultivating human hair follicle papillae that can be easily executed by new lab personnel.

This case report details a rare instance of a giant cellular blue nevus on the scalp, highlighting its potential to damage underlying bone and hair follicles, alongside a separate alopecia areata lesion successfully treated with topical corticosteroid.

The authors suggest that male-pattern hair loss may be linked to neuropathy caused by tension on scalp nerves, potentially worsened by testosterone, and propose electrical stimulation as a temporary treatment.

This report provides the first microscopic description of pachyonychia congenita-associated alopecia, identifying a combination of histological features that might be unique to this condition.

This review discusses the role of histone deacetylases in hearing loss, proposing potential pharmacological interventions, but reports no new clinical results.

This article discusses the potential use of nape and peri-auricular hair for creating softer hairlines in transplants and reports no clinical results; the authors highlight concerns about their permanency.

This case report describes an 8-year-old girl with atrichia congenita characterized by complete hair loss and papular lesions, attributed to an insertion mutation in the hairless gene.

This report describes a rare case of a woman with keratosis follicularis presenting with extensive alopecia and nail abnormalities, adding to the medical literature due to its unusual presentation.

Sparse hairs below frontal hairline can indicate early male balding.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata and androgenetic alopecia showed increased c-kit expression and decreased Ki-67 expression in hair follicle cells compared to controls, suggesting a possible feedback mechanism involving stem cell factor signaling.

This article discusses the condition telogen effluvium, a type of diffuse hair loss, in the context of potential post-COVID-19 pandemic occurrences, but reports no new research or clinical results.
