Increased sunscreen use may be linked to frontal fibrosing alopecia in Hispanic females.

This review discusses the characteristics and diagnostic challenges of fibrosing alopecia pattern distribution, proposing an algorithm for hair transplantation, but reports no new clinical results.

This letter discusses potential pathogenetic links among frontal fibrosing alopecia, androgenetic alopecia, and fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution and reports no new clinical findings.

This study of alopecia areata patients found that a 10 mg twice-daily dose of oral tofacitinib led to significant hair regrowth, suggesting it may be beneficial for treatment.

In this retrospective study, researchers at a Spanish hospital found that the severity of frontal fibrosing alopecia, primarily affecting postmenopausal women, was correlated with the duration of the disease, though inflammatory signs were not linked with its progression.

This study in Morocco found that all women with frontal fibrosing alopecia presented frontotemporal hairline recession, with trichoscopic features such as perifollicular erythema and follicular hyperkeratosis being indicative of the condition, and suggested a potential link between cosmetic products or emotional factors and the disease.

In this study, researchers assessed the effects of deferasirox in 85 children with ß-thalassemia in Kirkuk and reported that while 55.3% experienced a reduction in serum ferritin, 9.4% had adverse effects, indicating that deferasirox is generally well-tolerated as an iron chelator with modifiable side effects.

This study found that fig leaf extract significantly downregulated inflammatory and androgenic gene expression in vitro, suggesting potential topical benefits for certain skin disorders.

This study developed a rapid and efficient in vitro method using high-performance liquid chromatography to screen for steroid 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors, determining inhibition constants for Finasteride and Epristeride.

This study found that Ang1 improved survival and proliferation in human follicle dermal papilla cells under DHT-induced stress, suggesting potential as a therapeutic candidate for androgenetic alopecia.

This paper presents two cases of frontal fibrosing alopecia in postmenopausal women, noting challenges in monitoring due to the invasive nature of the diagnostic process.

This study found that applying ferrous ferric chloride skin lotions to newborn mice stimulated skin cell proliferation and differentiation, increased hair growth, and inhibited alopecia-related hair loss.

Among patients with biopsy-proven FAPD in specialized hair clinics, this study found the condition is common in females around 52.5 years old, with treatment generally stabilizing or slightly improving hair loss, despite challenges in differentiating FAPD from androgenetic alopecia.

Finasteride, a drug that changes testosterone to a different hormone, was studied and its effects over time were modeled successfully.

This narrative review suggests a strong association between abrupt hormonal imbalances and frontal fibrosing alopecia in women, especially related to reduced fertile years and certain hormonal therapies.

This article outlines a treatment protocol for frontal fibrosing alopecia using finasteride or dutasteride and minoxidil, but reports no new clinical results.

This study developed a potent Wnt surrogate with high specificity for the Fzd7 receptor in mice, promoting full hair follicle regeneration and robust hair growth, suggesting potential applications in tissue development and targeted regeneration.

Hair follicle dermal stem cells help control hair growth timing by regulating signals at the hair germ–dermal papilla interface.

This review discusses the potential usefulness and safety profile of oral antiandrogens for treating frontal fibrosing alopecia, noting possible benefits but acknowledges that finasteride's efficacy remains uncertain.
