This case study suggests that patients with acquired progressive kinking of the hair may benefit from finasteride treatment due to an increased risk of developing androgenetic alopecia.

In this case report, a 9-year-old boy was diagnosed with uncombable hair syndrome following his mother's suspicion and subsequent confirmation via molecular genetics, highlighting how digital access to medical information can raise awareness of rare conditions.

This review discusses various types of alopecia, including androgenetic, diffuse, and cicatricial, along with their diagnosis and treatment, and reports no new experimental findings.

This study found mutations in the P2RY5 gene that are linked to autosomal recessive woolly hair in Pakistani families, implicating it in hair texture determination.

This study found that patients with androgenetic alopecia experienced more severe symptoms than those with alopecia areata, influencing their quality of life differently based on various patient characteristics.

A specific gene mutation causes woolly hair and hair loss.

This review summarizes the role of Hoxc13 in regulating hair follicle development and growth, noting its influence on keratin and keratin-associated proteins, and reports no new experimental findings.

This study found that multi-hair follicles naturally orient perpendicular to the radial line from the crown whirl, suggesting that perpendicular transplantation of grafts could replicate this natural appearance.

This case study highlights how trichoscopy helped differentiate between diffuse alopecia areata and trichotillomania in an 11-year-old girl, demonstrating its importance in distinguishing hair disorders with similar presentations.

This study found that Pomeranians with Alopecia X had fewer follicles per group, more fragile hair, and distinct hair cycle stages compared to non-alopecic Pomeranians, highlighting coat-type differences significant for diagnosing the condition.

In this study, the authors concluded that the TS-associated polyomavirus may disrupt Wnt/β-catenin signaling, likely contributing to abnormal hair follicle formation in trichodysplasia spinulosa.

This study identified several specific trichoscopic features of trichotillomania, with trichoptilosis, V hair, and hair powder being the most frequent findings.

This research reports a new autosomal recessive mutation in mice, 'lanceolate hair', causing generalized alopecia and hair shaft abnormalities, which may serve as a model for Netherton's syndrome in humans.

This study reports that activating Notch signaling in the hair follicle cortex of transgenic mice caused abnormal differentiation of the medulla and cuticle, highlighting potential cell-cell interactions.

The document explains hair growth, hair loss types, and other hair-related terms.

This study found that white wax and its extract significantly promoted hair growth in a mouse model of androgenetic alopecia, outperforming finasteride by inhibiting 5α-reductase activity and enhancing cellular proliferation.

This study found that Wnt signalling agonists increase and antagonists decrease in human scalp follicles from telogen to early-anagen, with differences from the mouse model suggesting targeted interventions for hair growth disorders.

In this study, researchers developed a novel genetic tool using Wif1-CreER knock-in mice for precise labeling and manipulation of dermal papilla cells, which could enhance understanding of hair biology and aid in developing targeted therapies for hair-related disorders.

In this case report, researchers detailed a 22-year-old Turkish woman diagnosed with autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis (ARWH/H), linked to a mutation in the LIPH gene, resulting in sparse, poorly growing, curly hair, highlighting the need for genetic consideration in similar hair conditions.

This case study reports that a 14-year-old female with loose anagen hair syndrome and trichotillomania initially improved with topical minoxidil and counseling, but relapsed after a year, highlighting treatment challenges.

Loose anagen hair syndrome causes easily shed hair but usually improves with time.

It's important to tell the difference between hair casts, pseudocasts, and nits.

This study reveals that human hair follicles transition between active and dormant states stochastically, challenging the idea of a cyclical automaton controlling hair growth.

Certain genes influence the direction of hair whorls on the scalp.
