In this study using zebrafish, four bisbenzylisoquinoline derivatives were found to protect hair cells from aminoglycoside-induced damage without reducing antibiotic efficacy, potentially leading to therapies for patients undergoing such treatments.

This review discusses female androgenetic alopecia, highlighting its diagnostic challenges and management strategies, but it reports no new results.

This review summarizes the genetic studies on female pattern hair loss, highlighting the lack of clearly identified susceptibility loci and suggesting distinct aetiological differences from male pattern hair loss.

This article discusses the need for rational strategies in developing hair loss drugs targeting specific events in hair follicle cycling, reporting no clinical findings but emphasizing the importance of understanding molecular controls.

This review examines complementary and alternative medicine for alopecia and finds limited support from robust clinical trials, highlighting the need for standardized studies to evaluate efficacy and safety.

This article outlines management guidelines for androgenetic alopecia, highlighting that continued treatment with medications like finasteride or minoxidil typically halts progression and improves hair condition in most mild to moderate cases.

In this case series, four adults developed severe, disabling multisymptom illness potentially linked to fluoroquinolone use, which persisted and progressed even after discontinuation of the drug.

Finasteride may help reduce symptoms in male Tourette syndrome patients.

This review discusses the significant burden of disease and psychosocial implications associated with alopecia, highlighting its comorbidities and the impact on quality of life despite being viewed traditionally as an aesthetic concern, but reports no clinical results.

This review found evidence supporting the effectiveness and safety of topical minoxidil for treating female pattern hair loss, though many included studies were at high risk of bias.

This study observed that two patients treated with interferon α-2b and ribavirin for chronic hepatitis C experienced complete and reversible straightening of their natural curly hair, which recurred with treatment resumption.

This study observed various patterns of permanent alopecia in breast cancer patients treated with taxanes and adjuvant hormonal chemotherapy, hypothesizing disruptions in hair follicle cycles due to chemoinflammatory and hormonal factors.

The document describes a woman with familial Parkinson's disease due to a genetic mutation, showing severe symptoms and poor response to treatment, and suggests finasteride may help reduce symptoms in Tourette syndrome.

This article reviews potential animal models for studying androgenetic alopecia and reports no new experimental results; the authors highlight the need for further development of rodent models.

This review discusses various potential adverse effects of common oral vitamin and mineral supplements used in dermatology and highlights lesser-known issues like hematologic and neurologic effects from zinc.

This article reviews the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of female pattern hair loss, highlighting the importance of early medical intervention to arrest hair loss progression, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that in wound-induced hair neogenesis, African spiny mice and laboratory mice exhibit different morphogenetic field formation patterns related to tissue stiffness, suggesting evolutionary developmental biology advantages.

This review discusses the biology of hair follicles and common hair disorders in the elderly but reports no new clinical results.

This review found that while topical minoxidil is effective for treating female pattern hair loss, finasteride showed no more effectiveness than placebo, and low-level laser therapy increased hair count but with inconsistent results.

This study reported that Ell-Cranell® alpha 0.025% solution significantly increased hair counts and diameter in Korean women with female pattern hair loss over an 8-month period, showing both efficacy and safety.

This review discusses environmental factors like UV radiation and smoking that affect hair health and highlights the potential role of nutrition, but it reports no new results.

This case series suggests that Propionibacterium acnes colonization may contribute to the development of hair casts and diffuse non-scarring alopecia, as patients' symptoms improved with antibiotics targeting the bacteria.

This review discusses the various potential causes of hair loss in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, including telogen effluvium from disease flares, but provides no prevalence data; the authors outline a practical assessment and management approach.

In this randomized double-blind study, 160 adults with alopecia areata showed significant improvements in hair loss severity after using a bioactive peptide cosmetic product that mimics platelet-rich plasma, while the placebo group showed no significant change, underlining the treatment's potential effectiveness.

Finasteride significantly reduced tics and obsessive-compulsive symptoms in patients with Tourette syndrome.

Over 50% of women over 50 experience hair loss, with minoxidil being the only proven effective treatment.

Patients with Shwachman-Diamond syndrome often get misdiagnosed due to a wide range of symptoms, including immune system problems and bone abnormalities.

This study found that maternal iron-restricted diets increased alopecia incidence in IL-10-deficient mouse pups with mast cells, implicating mast cells as potential effectors in this process.

This analysis concluded that hair regrowth in male and female pattern hair loss treatments did not involve converting vellus hairs into terminal hairs, suggesting a reactivation of dormant non-vellus follicles instead.

This review compiles data on how the apelinergic system may protect against heart damage caused by doxorubicin cancer treatment, suggesting its potential to mitigate cardiotoxicity, though further research in chronic models is needed to confirm these effects and mechanisms.
