This study suggests that alterations in copper metabolism may play a key role in the development of androgenetic alopecia in women, presenting potential targets for treatment strategies.

This article reviews inherited mineral and trace element disturbances and reports no clinical results; it highlights conditions like hypomagnesaemia and acrodermatitis enteropathica linked to impaired nutrient absorption.

This study found that patients with premature hair graying had lower serum levels of iron, copper, and calcium, which correlated with the severity of graying.

This study found that individuals who perceive their hair health as poor tend to have higher levels of metals on their hair, emphasizing the impact of environmental metal exposure.

This study found that higher concentrations of copper (II) ions in human hair increase protein oxidative modification, contributing to hair damage regardless of UV exposure and pigmentation level.

This review discusses the role of diet in managing hair loss during menopause and reports no new clinical results; it highlights the importance of nutrients like sulfur amino acids, vitamins, and minerals.

In this study, women with severe hair loss after bariatric surgery had lower zinc intake compared to those with mild hair loss, suggesting a possible link between zinc consumption and hair loss severity.

This case report describes an 11-month-old boy with Menkes disease, highlighting symptoms such as developmental delays and poor therapeutic response due to significant brain and vascular abnormalities.

In this case report, the authors describe green hair discoloration in a patient attributed to the use of selenium sulfide.

This article explores how various nutrients and metabolic processes impact wool and hair follicle function in animals but reports no new experimental findings.

This review discusses the prognosis and treatment options for hair shaft disorders, finding no studies but suggesting some disorders improve with specific treatments like minoxidil and retinoids, while gentle hair care remains essential.

This study reported that a newly developed hydrogel composed of recombinant type I collagen and chitosan, incorporating a metal–polyphenol structure, demonstrated strong mechanical and healing properties, effectively promoting wound healing in a full-thickness skin defect model.

This study found that homocysteine-keratin accumulation in human hair increases towards the tips, linked to copper/iron-catalyzed demethylation of methionine, and may contribute to keratin damage.

This study found that variations in mineral content of hair, such as increased Zr in asthma and respiratory infections, may be linked to different illnesses, suggesting potential diagnostic use.

This review discusses the impact of various external factors like cosmetics, traction, and radiation on hair health and color, but reports no new findings.

This study found that brindled mottled mice, a model of Kinky hair syndrome, exhibited abnormal development of catecholamine neurons, with increased TH-immunoreactive neurons and altered neurochemical profiles compared to controls.

This animal study found that second generation mice exposed to excess zinc during gestation and lactation had reduced plasma copper, body weight, and hematocrit, with lighter and delayed hair development compared to mice on a normal zinc diet.

This study found that a multifunctional hydrogel dressing enriched with Cu-MOF and tannic acid significantly improved full-thickness wound healing in rats, reducing the wound area to only 1.6% and promoting re-epithelialization, neovascularization, and hair follicle formation.

This study found that serum levels of zinc, copper, and selenium were significantly lower in patients with alopecia areata compared to healthy controls, regardless of the number of hair loss patches.

In this study, reduced serum levels of iron, copper, and calcium were associated with premature graying of hair, suggesting that supplementation might help, but more research is needed to fully understand the relationship.

This article discusses how nutritional and environmental factors, along with antioxidant supplementation, may improve hair growth by mitigating the effects of androgens and reports no new clinical results.

In this study, QR 678 and QR 678 Neo formulations containing growth factors and peptides were found to be safe in vitro and promoted hair growth in vivo in an animal model, suggesting their potential as treatments for alopecia, including secondary alopecia post-chemotherapy.

This study suggests that elevated levels of certain heavy metals, rather than zinc, may play a causative role in primary chronic telogen effluvium.

This case report describes a woman who developed green hair due to high copper levels in swimming pool water, exacerbated by hair treatments and inadequate water replacement.

This study found that sodium and potassium hair levels may serve as sex-specific indicators, with slight differences in copper and iron content between males and females, particularly during the female reproductive period.

This study highlighted that toxic metals, particularly thallium, arsenic, selenium, and mercury, are commonly associated with cases of alopecia areata.

This study found that hemodialysis patients taking water-soluble vitamins had a 16% lower mortality risk compared to those not taking any, but the specific supplementation needed remains unclear.

This research observed that nanoliposomes delivering a combination of bioactive peptides significantly promoted hair growth in vitro and in vivo by enhancing the proliferation and function of hair growth-targeted cells in C57BL/6 mice, suggesting a promising approach for treating androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that dogs with idiopathic epilepsy had altered hair concentrations of several trace elements, which may suggest a role in the disease's pathophysiology and indicate effects from antiseizure medications.

This study found that patients with androgenetic alopecia had deficiencies in certain trace elements and vitamins, which were linked to distinct patterns of hair loss connected to androgen levels.
