This paper introduces a novel topical booster aimed at enhancing follicular sulfotransferase activity to potentially improve minoxidil response in patients with androgenetic alopecia but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that 5α–reductase activity is higher in infrainfundibular keratinocytes compared to interfollicular epidermal keratinocytes, suggesting a potential role in acne-related follicular changes.

This study found that the trichogenicity of cultured human outer root sheath follicular keratinocytes decreased with longer cultivation periods and was significantly influenced by the expression of the transcription factor FOXA2.

This study suggests that co-culturing human outer root sheath cells with human dermal papilla cells can restore their ability to induce hair growth by altering gene expression through paracrine signaling.

This study found that mechlorethamine restored hair growth in mice with alopecia-areata-like disease by eliminating infiltrated lymphocytes and inhibiting certain pro-inflammatory cytokines in treated skin areas.

In this study of Indian patients with pattern hair loss, 40.8% showed low sulfotransferase enzyme activity in hair follicles, with a higher prevalence of low activity in men compared to women.

This study reported that the expression of sulfotransferase enzymes in hair follicles remained stable during treatment with topical minoxidil, indicating consistent metabolic activity throughout the treatment period.

This preclinical study observed that a nanoencapsulated ingredient complex, AcPi, may prevent hair follicle aging and hair loss by reducing oxidative stress, enhancing mitochondrial activity and WNT/β-catenin signaling, and controlling androgenic metabolism when tested on human scalp cultures.

This integrative review developed a Spiral Model to better represent human hair follicle dynamics and aging, which may assist in distinguishing natural aging from pathological changes and improving trichological interventions.

This study found that a shampoo containing a 6-active ingredient complex increased β-Catenin production in human hair follicle dermal papilla cells to levels comparable to Finasteride, suggesting potential for promoting hair growth. It also showed good cleaning efficacy, volume, and shine in a sensorial study.

This paper introduces a new understanding that the human hair follicle medulla lacks metabolic activity for H2O2 breakdown, indicating that H2O2 decomposition occurs primarily in the cortical areas.

In this study, researchers reported that cutaneous ultrasound may be a valuable tool in diagnosing and assessing inflammatory activity in tinea capitis, potentially guiding treatment decisions, especially in severe cases not apparent through clinical symptoms alone.

This study found that incorporating platelet-rich plasma in hair transplant procedures for cicatricial alopecia improved patient satisfaction and hair growth outcomes compared to procedures without it.

This study found that dysregulation of the folliculin-p0071 interaction may lead to changes in cell adhesion and signaling, contributing to conditions like emphysema and renal cell carcinoma.

This study found that in mice, inactivating beta-catenin in the dermal papilla reduces hair follicle progenitor proliferation and disrupts the hair cycle.

This study found that seasonal changes significantly affected hair follicle activity and fibre growth in Merghoz goats, with variations seen in feed intake and growth patterns across different seasons.

In this research, RNA expression analysis of scalp biopsies from lichen planopilaris patients revealed changes in specific genes after treatments with hydroxychloroquine, narrow band UVB, or low level laser light therapy, suggesting potential biomarkers and implicating M2 macrophages in the disease's immunopathogenesis.

This study highlights that mutations in the MBTPS2 gene can lead to dermatological disorders like IFAP syndrome and severe bone diseases such as X-Linked Osteogenesis Imperfecta, emphasizing the significance of understanding these genetic variants for disease mechanisms and associations.

This study found that a 2.5% flavonoid-rich extract of Equisetum hyemale promoted hair growth in a rat model of chemically-induced alopecia, showing results comparable to 5% minoxidil.

In this study, petroleum ether extracts of Phyllanthus niruri promoted hair regrowth in testosterone-induced alopecia in rats by inhibiting the 5α-reductase enzyme.

This study found that a sub-fraction of Noni fruit, FEA-3, showed hair growth-promoting effects in a rabbit model of androgenic alopecia, similar to Minoxidil.

In this study, Eremochloa ophiuroides-derived fractions were found to significantly promote hair regrowth in a mouse model, demonstrating effects comparable to minoxidil and suggesting potential as natural hair growth agents through modulation of follicular activation markers and growth-regulatory factors.

This study found that thyroxine increased hair growth rate in rats, but estradiol decreased it, with both hormones affecting follicular cycles independently without altering ultimate hair length.

This study found that overexpression of a mutated ornithine decarboxylase transgene in mice led to complete hair loss, which could be prevented or reversed with an ODC inhibitor.

This study observed that antisense oligonucleotides targeting FGFR-1 increased cellular activity in hair follicle cultures from mice, suggesting potential clinical utility for treating baldness.

This study found that a herbal hair oil formulation with 7.5% concentration of each active ingredient, prepared using the boiling method, showed excellent hair growth activity comparable to 2% minoxidil.

This study found that certain trichoscopic patterns, like exclamation mark hairs, were associated with active or mild alopecia areata in Turkish patients, aiding in diagnosis and prediction of the disease.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma treatment increased hair density and reduced inflammation in patients with patchy alopecia areata, but not in a patient with alopecia universalis.

This study found that bimatoprost eye drops increased eyelash length, thickness, pigmentation, and the number of eyelashes per follicle in rabbits, without causing inflammation.

This study found that dogs with alopecia treated with platelet-rich plasma in addition to conventional therapy experienced faster hair regrowth, better coat quality, and higher recovery rates compared to conventional therapy alone.
