This study observed that testosterone inhibits hair follicle epithelial cell proliferation in adult stumptailed macaques only when dermal papilla cells from bald scalps are present, with antiandrogen RU 58841 reversing this effect.

Dermatoscopy helps diagnose hair and scalp disorders in people with Afro-textured hair, but more research is needed for better understanding and treatment.

This study found that an earlier onset of androgenetic alopecia, especially in a frontal balding pattern, was significantly associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer among men at a Veterans Affairs Hospital.

This study presents a validated questionnaire, the FFA-QLI, which effectively assesses and differentiates the quality of life impact among patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, showing greater sensitivity in identifying severe cases than the DLQI.

This case report presents two instances where typically irreversible lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia showed signs of hair regrowth and symptom improvement following specific treatments.

This review discusses partial longitudinal-follicular unit transplantation (PL-FUT) for hair loss and notes its potential to multiply hair follicles while preserving donor areas, but reports no new clinical results.

This study reports that follicular unit grafting techniques, specifically creating a frontal forelock, achieved excellent and undetectable results in patients with advanced male pattern hair loss, leading to high patient satisfaction.

The researchers reported that follicular unit grafting in surgical hair restoration provided excellent, undetectable results and high patient satisfaction for individuals with advanced male pattern hair loss.

This study found that certain male pattern baldness subtypes at age 45 are associated with an increased risk of developing colorectal neoplasia.

This study reported that an open surgical technique for lateral brow lifts produced satisfactory results in most patients (94.41%) and was associated with long-lasting effects and some complications.

This report describes the first known case of frontal fibrosing alopecia in a genetically unrelated couple, suggesting the potential role of environmental factors in its development.

This review summarizes evidence suggesting that smoking is associated with alopecia and premature hair graying, with smokers showing higher prevalence than nonsmokers.

In this study, the duration of epinephrine-induced vasoconstriction in scalp tissue increased with concentration and was longer at the frontotemporal junction compared to the midfrontal area, significantly so at the highest concentration used.

This study found that trichoscopy is an effective noninvasive technique for diagnosing frontal fibrosing alopecia, confirming its valuable role alongside traditional histopathological examination.

This review discusses the characteristic trichoscopy patterns useful in differentiating lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia from similar conditions but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that androgenic alopecia was associated with a decreased risk of testicular germ cell tumors but a potential increased risk of high-grade prostate cancer.

In this study, patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia showed more actinic damage than control subjects, suggesting sunscreen use by these patients may be a consequence rather than a cause of the condition.

The document suggests a possible link between mast cells and scarring alopecia, recommending more research for potential treatments.

This case report details a 65-year-old woman with a slowly enlarging plaque of alopecia on her frontal scalp, which was mildly indurated and slightly erythematous with overlying telangiectasias.

In this study, a retrospective analysis at Erasmus University Medical Center found that methotrexate and cyclosporine A may be most effective for lichen planopilaris and cyclosporine A and retinoids for frontal fibrosing alopecia, although side effects were a concern.

The authors discuss that hair loss affecting the occipital scalp is understudied and may be caused by factors like movement irritation and clothing occlusion; this lack of data can lead to missed diagnoses and inadequate treatment.

This study found that 15% minoxidil topical solution was more effective than low-level laser therapy in improving hair regrowth and patient satisfaction in individuals with androgenetic alopecia.

This review discusses the basic principles of hair pathology and findings in common types of alopecia but reports no new research results.

This article discusses the causes, characteristics, and management of female-pattern hair loss without reporting new clinical results and emphasizes the need for treatment to prevent further hair density decline.

This review discusses primary cicatricial alopecias, detailing their classification, pathogenesis, clinical features, histopathologic findings, and treatment, without reporting new experimental results.

In this study, an innovative flap procedure was described that may effectively treat extensive frontal baldness through a 180° rotation of a midline occipital flap, aligning hairs naturally.

This review proposes an anatomy-based framework for understanding recipient site scalp necrosis in hair transplantation, emphasizing regional vascular vulnerability and surgical factors, but does not provide new clinical results.

This study provides a framework for understanding different types of alopecias based on immune privilege collapse at specific follicular sites, revealing distinct patterns in immune effector programs and stromal influences depending on the alopecia type.

This review discusses the possible link between cosmeceuticals and frontal fibrosing alopecia but reports no conclusive findings; the authors stress further research on environmental triggers is needed.

This review discusses the various factors implicated in the etiology of frontal fibrosing alopecia and notes the need for effective treatments, reporting no new clinical findings.
