This study introduces a hair transplantation method combining elliptical excision and micrografting, suggesting it provides significant cosmetic improvements for androgenetic alopecia.

Light scatters differently from elliptical hair fibers than from circular ones, and a new model better predicts this behavior, especially for shiny highlights.

This study found that using a trapezoid strip in hair transplantation for androgenetic alopecia minimizes follicular unit transection and yields significantly more grafts compared to an elliptical strip.

This study found that Grateloupia elliptica extract may help treat hair loss by promoting dermal papilla cell proliferation, inhibiting 5α-reductase, and reducing inflammation in various cell types.

This study found that ursolic acid at 50 mg/kg improved biochemical, hormonal, and ovarian histopathological markers in a rat model of PCOS, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic option.

This study found that Grateloupia elliptica extract may promote hair growth by activating wnt/b-catenin signaling and enhancing dermal papilla cell proliferation in rat and mouse models.

This review highlights the diverse pharmacological properties of Eclipta alba, often used traditionally in Asian medicine, detailing its hepatoprotective, hair growth promoting, antidiabetic, and other therapeutic activities linked to its chemical compounds such as wedelolactone.

In this study, a new shading model for hair was developed that better matches real-life light scattering, thanks to detailed new measurements of hair fiber scattering not predicted by existing models.

This study introduced a new hair shading model that more accurately simulates light scattering on hair fibers, capturing effects not predicted by previous models.

In this study, researchers found that the curliness of human hair is associated with an asymmetric structure at the cellular level, particularly in the differentiation of the precortex.

This study reviewed scalp biopsies from African-American patients, identifying distinct features and diagnostic clues for scarring alopecia types such as traction alopecia and central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia.

This review examines controversies in hair transplant surgery, including donor harvesting techniques and the roles of platelet-rich plasma and low-level light therapy, and reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that surgical intervention for scalp infantile hemangiomas, often necessary due to complications like alopecia and ulceration, generally leads to good aesthetic outcomes and satisfactory hair growth.

This review discusses current concepts in hair transplantation, emphasizing the importance of patient consultation and alternative therapies like finasteride and minoxidil, but does not report new experimental findings.

This case report describes a 12-year-old girl diagnosed with monilethrix, characterized by fragile, beaded hair shafts, with no effective treatment currently available.

This case study describes a 4-year-old boy whose neck tumor was initially misdiagnosed as scrofuloderma before being correctly identified as a pilomatricoma, underscoring the need to include pilomatricoma in differential diagnoses for persistent skin lesions.

This case report describes the diagnosis of monilethrix in a 2-year-old boy using trichoscopy, highlighting its rarity and the challenge of diagnosing it without a family history.

This study found that androgenic alopecia is present in 22% of women with polycystic ovary syndrome and is associated with other clinical signs of hyperandrogenism, but not with increased biochemical hyperandrogenemia or metabolic dysfunction.

This book chapter reviews the taxonomy, traditional uses, pharmacological effects, and safety of Eclipta prostrata, emphasizing its potential therapeutic applications, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study concluded that a triangular flag-shaped incision design in hair transplantation achieved better hair alignment compared to the common elliptical incision, particularly in patients with specific hair directions.

This case report describes a 10-year-old girl with monilethrix, detailing hereditary autosomal dominant traits and distinctive nodular hair shaft abnormalities observed in her family through clinical examination and microscopic analysis.

This review synthesizes data on Eclipta alba, highlighting its traditional use for liver, skin, and general health, supported by preclinical evidence of hepatoprotective and other beneficial activities, while noting the need for more rigorous toxicological and clinical safety studies to substantiate its therapeutic applications.

In this study, Eclipta alba extract showed potential for hair regrowth by increasing the proliferative activity of human dermal papilla cells by 45% in vitro, with evidence suggesting activation of the Wnt signaling pathway.

This review highlights the lack of research on Afro-textured hair, emphasizing the need for better understanding of its genetic traits and molecular structure to develop more effective hair care solutions.

Monilethrix is a rare, inherited condition causing fragile hair and hair loss, with no cure but some treatments may help.

This overview discusses the medicinal uses and pharmacological activities of Eclipta alba, yet reports no new experimental findings; it emphasizes the plant's significant role in traditional medicine.

This study observed that individuals with mixed ethnicity had hair that varied widely in shape and showed significant surface damage near the root, differing from monoracial hair characteristics.

This review discusses donor elliptical harvesting and follicular unit extraction in contemporary hair transplant surgery for pattern hair loss and reports no new clinical results.

This study introduces a modular fiber model to investigate how changes in microstructural properties of wool affect its critical buckling load, highlighting potential uses and areas needing further research in wool fiber biophysics.
