17-β estradiol and prednisolone may speed up hair regrowth after chemotherapy.

Scalp hair follicle cells help protect and heal skin in certain skin conditions.

A girl with red hair developed hair-pulling and body image disorders after being bullied for her hair color.

In this study, 90% of patients preoccupied with hair loss were found to have underlying affective disorders like depression, anxiety, OCD, or OCPD.

In this case study, a 66-year-old woman with hair-related Body Dysmorphic Disorder and newly diagnosed bipolar disorder experienced significant symptom improvement with psychiatric medications, highlighting a unique comorbidity and response to treatment.

This article defines body dysmorphic disorder as excessive concern over perceived physical defects that cause distress and affect social or functional activities, but it reports no new results.

This study found that body dysmorphic disorder is about 10 times more prevalent among patients with hair loss complaints compared to general dermatology patients, with a higher incidence in males.

This study found that among adult balding men in Rawalpindi and Islamabad, those seeking hair transplants exhibited higher levels of perfectionism and body dysmorphic disorder symptoms compared to those not seeking treatment.

This study found that topical EGF-liposomal solution may protect hair follicles from chemotherapy-induced damage by inducing a catagen-like stage in a mouse model.

This study suggests that combining 17-beta estradiol with prednisolone could accelerate hair regrowth after chemotherapy-induced alopecia in humans, based on preclinical findings using an in vitro model.

In this study, follicular unit extraction grafting using a patient's own scalp follicles showed promise in healing chronic ulcers in a woman with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa.

In this study, researchers found that TSPyV T antigens can disrupt normal cell differentiation and proliferation in hair follicles and interfollicular epidermis, possibly contributing to trichodysplasia spinulosa pathology.

Corkscrew hair may be a new sign for quickly diagnosing scalp fungus in black children.

The authors concluded that some patients clinically diagnosed with telogen effluvium may actually have alopecia areata incognita, suggested by the presence of dystrophic hairs and development of alopecia patches.

This review discusses the role of dermoscopy in diagnosing hair and scalp disorders, noting its ability to aid in differential diagnosis without the need for biopsies; it reports no new clinical results.

This study on 8 cancer patients receiving chemotherapy found that both anagen and telogen effluvium may contribute to diffuse moderate alopecia within a month of treatment onset.

This article discusses dermatoscopy's role in identifying alopecia areata, highlighting that exclamation mark hairs are a strong indicator of the condition, but reports no new clinical data.

This study reports that the near-naked hairless mutation in mice is not an allele of the Hairless gene but may involve a mutation in a linked gene or a regulatory mutation.

In this study, analysis of hair root status showed similar abnormalities in both primary and secondary syphilis patients, though it remains unclear if these are specific to syphilis.

This study found that when human hair follicles were grafted onto mice, they progressed through dystrophic stages and returned to normal growth, with stem cells aiding in recovery.

This study found that histopathologic features such as a catagen/telogen shift, melanin in fibrous tracts, and small dystrophic follicles can help differentiate alopecia areata from pattern hair loss in the absence of peribulbar infiltrates.

This study found that doxorubicin disrupts hair-follicle-associated blood vessels, which may contribute to hair follicle dystrophy and alopecia in mice, but hair-follicle stem cells remained unaffected.

This study found that calbindin-D9k knockout mice on a maternal vitamin D-deficient and low-calcium diet developed transient alopecia, but a high-vitamin D and calcium diet in mothers reduced this effect.

This case report highlights an interest in exploring the relationship between serum levels of sodium valproate and hair loss, though no case reports currently establish this link.

This study found that sulfur mustard affects hair follicles and sebaceous glands in the skin by causing cellular damage, inflammation, and disrupting wound healing processes in hairless mice.

This case report suggests that lamotrigine treatment may be associated with hair loss as a rare side effect, based on the observation of hair regrowth after discontinuation of the drug in a single patient.

This case report describes a probable connection between lamotrigine treatment and hair loss, resolving upon discontinuation, suggesting alopecia as a rare side effect of the drug.

In this study, researchers found that topical application of 3-β-methoxy-Δ18-oleanene (miliacin) in mice sped up the recovery of hair follicles damaged by cyclophosphamide, moving them into a new hair growth cycle more quickly compared to controls.
