This study found that trichoscopy can effectively differentiate female pattern hair loss from chronic telogen effluvium based on specific features like hair shaft diameter variability and density differences, aiding in targeted treatment planning.

This study found that a family history of androgenetic alopecia and specific trichoscopic signs are strong predictors of female pattern hair loss, leading to a nomogram model for risk prediction.

In this study, female pattern hair loss in Chinese Han patients was characterized by decreased hair density and shaft diameter, with minor gender differences and the vertex most affected.

This paper compiles previously observed similarities in biomagnetic fields emitted by human hair and mouse vibrissa follicles, with findings supporting distinctive patterns of biomagnetic activity skewed to one side.

This case report describes the first observed instance of fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution in a child, suggesting the condition is not solely androgen dependent.

The authors concluded that their new grading system can effectively classify early female pattern hair loss and evaluate treatment progress.

This study investigated the immunohistochemical characteristics of keratin proteins in epidermal appendages, finding variable staining patterns in different skin structures and tumor cells, which suggests differences in keratinization.

This case report describes a 50-year-old man with folliculotropic mycosis fungoides stage IB, noting trichoscopic findings like dilated follicular openings, black dots, and dystrophic hairs, which are less commonly documented in this condition, suggesting trichoscopy could aid in early diagnosis.

The researchers reported that identifying specific hair shaft abnormalities is crucial for distinguishing patchy/plaque mycosis fungoides from psoriasis and eczematous dermatitis on non-scalp skin using dermoscopy.

This study observed that keratosis pilaris is the most prevalent follicular keratotic disease, especially in adolescent and young adult females, and emphasized the key role of dermoscopy and histopathology in distinguishing it from other similar disorders and aiding in diagnosis.

This study found that using a microscope can effectively distinguish between human and animal hair based on microscopic characteristics, making it a critical tool in forensic investigations.

This study found that hair proteome profiling and genetically variant peptide identification in hairs remained effective after an explosive blast, indicating potential for forensic human identification despite damage.

This research found that feather pattern formation in birds is regulated by a mechanochemical system involving fibroblast growth factor and bone morphogenetic protein signaling, which is altered in the flightless emu and ostrich.

This pilot study found that examining changes in scalp scales after scraping may effectively distinguish seborrheic dermatitis associated with androgenetic alopecia from fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution.

This study reports that flaky skin mice exhibit skin and nail features that closely resemble human psoriasis vulgaris, suggesting they may serve as a natural model for this condition.

This study found that a specific variant in hair keratin was present mainly in Caucasian samples, with few exceptions showing likely Caucasian admixture.

The authors present a case of punctate follicular porokeratosis, suggesting it as a distinct clinical entity distinguished by keratotic lesions originating specifically from hair follicles.

In this study, researchers used atomic force microscopy to capture and analyze morphological changes in the surface of healthy hair, identifying features such as pitting and rod-shaped macro-fibrillar elements, which could inform future research on hair conditions and care.

A new computer tool quickly measures hair thickness differences in people with common types of hair loss.

This study analyzed 24 Japanese cases of fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution and found a distinctive "parachute" hair loss pattern, emphasizing unique clinical characteristics potentially influenced by racial factors.

This study found that patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia showed significant alterations in protein expression in forehead corneocytes, suggesting the condition may have systemic implications beyond the scalp.

This study found that among male hair transplant patients, most had a single crown hair whorl pattern, which was more often located centrally on the scalp compared to dual or undetectable patterns.

This study found that women with female pattern hair loss exhibited hormonal imbalances, with the Free Androgen Index being a particularly effective diagnostic marker.

This study identified key dermoscopic features in folliculotropic mycosis fungoides patients, showing that dilation of follicular openings and spiky follicular keratosis are specific indicators of follicular involvement, potentially aiding in diagnosis, classification, and treatment decisions.

In this study, focal atrichia was associated with late-onset female pattern hair loss, providing a clinical clue to its diagnosis, particularly separating it from other hair disorders.

This review discusses female pattern hair loss as distinct from androgenetic alopecia and suggests that clinicians use tools like dermoscopy and histopathology for more accurate diagnosis, without reporting new findings.

In this study, hair samples from breast cancer patients showed increased β-sheet structures and lipid content, with spectral markers successfully identifying cancer in a blind test but also producing false positives.
