This study found that dermal papilla cells from balding scalp follicles secrete significantly less insulin-like growth factor-1 and its binding proteins, suggesting a mechanism contributing to male pattern baldness.

This study found that oral tofacitinib led to clinically significant improvement in alopecia areata severity scores among pre-adolescents, though results varied and further evaluation in clinical trials is needed.

This study reported that follicular unit extraction using nonhead hair sources like the chest or beard may successfully restore hair density and achieve aesthetically pleasing results in severely bald men with limited head donor hair.

Diabetes often causes various skin problems and complications.

This review of periocular tinea in children found that eyelash loss and prolonged misdiagnosis are common, highlighting the need for considering fungal infections in cases refractory to standard treatments.

This study identified five distinct scalp whorl patterns, noting that white males have the most distinct whorls, while African Americans and women more often exhibit a diffusion pattern.

In this randomized double-blind study, 160 adults with alopecia areata showed significant improvements in hair loss severity after using a bioactive peptide cosmetic product that mimics platelet-rich plasma, while the placebo group showed no significant change, underlining the treatment's potential effectiveness.

This review explores theories on the evolution of hair from synapsid scales and glands, proposing mechanisms supported by comparative studies, but reports no new experimental findings.

This letter to the editor compares the efficacy and safety of bimatoprost 0.03% with minoxidil 3% for eyebrow enhancement but does not report any study results.

In this study, patients with alopecia areata experienced significant hair regrowth using topical latanoprost, minoxidil, or betamethasone valerate, with the addition of latanoprost enhancing the effectiveness of betamethasone valerate, showcasing these treatments as safe and effective options.

This article describes a technique for improving the aesthetic results of surgical hair restoration by recycling plug grafts into smaller grafts, which can be combined with other procedures like scalp lifting and reductions.

This study found that ethanol extract of Tubtim Chumphae rice bran downregulates SRD5A gene expression, similarly to finasteride, suggesting potential use as an anti-hair loss product.

This study found that intradermal injection of normal saline before follicular unit extraction significantly reduced wound size and skin mass removed compared to acute extraction, suggesting it minimizes skin injury in this procedure.

This study found that the polymorphic forms I, II, and III of finasteride can be prepared purely, with form III being identical to what was previously referred to as form X.

This review discusses the evolution and current practices of Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) in hair restoration surgery, reporting comparable patient outcomes to Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), though noting controversies in its adoption.

This case report describes a 42-year-old woman with atopic dermatitis, whose alopecia areata reactivated rapidly after starting dupilumab, possibly indicating an unrecognized adverse effect in AD patients.

This study found that in Japanese, German, and American females, changes in hair lipid patterns with age may reflect alterations in sebum excretion and affect hair texture.
