March 2001 in “Clinics in Dermatology” Hair disease research is a growing and evolving field in dermatology, with recent significant advances.
October 1987 in “Clinics in Dermatology” This review discusses scalp reduction surgery for male-pattern baldness, highlighting its effectiveness in reducing bald areas when hair transplantation alone is not sufficient, without increasing total hair volume.
June 2018 in “Actas Dermo-Sifiliográficas” This review discusses recent treatments for androgenetic alopecia, highlighting progress beyond minoxidil to include oral and topical finasteride, dutasteride, and promising adjuvant therapies, but reports no clinical results; the authors emphasize ongoing research and potential new options.
May 2007 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” Hair can regrow in adult mice's skin after injury, and this process can be boosted by increasing Wnt7a, a protein. This could potentially help treat baldness and change our understanding of hair growth.
