This article presents a case study of a 16-year-old male with GAPO syndrome, characterized by growth retardation, alopecia, pseudoanodontia, and optic atrophy, who sought dental treatment for missing teeth.

This study observed that patients with androgenetic alopecia had significantly higher serum FABP4 levels compared to healthy controls, suggesting FABP4 may be involved in the condition's pathogenesis.

This study identified mutations in the FGF5 gene as a cause of extreme eyelash growth in Pakistani families, highlighting a potential target for regulating eyelash growth.

This study found that Gp₄G increased hair length, papilla cell numbers, and versican deposition in treated animals, potentially through alterations in hair follicle phases and nucleotide concentrations.

This review discusses the applications and research on fibroblast growth factors, including their use in wound healing, diabetes, and cancer, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that combining plasma rich in growth factors with conventional treatment significantly improved hair regrowth and reduced symptoms in patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia compared to conventional treatment alone.

This study found that growth factor concentrate provides quicker improvements for patterned hair loss, but platelet-rich plasma offers more sustained benefits after treatment.

This study found that a 22-bp InDel polymorphism in the FGF7 gene was significantly associated with growth traits in goats, with genotypes ID and/or II linked to better growth compared to genotype DD, indicating its potential as a molecular marker in breeding programs.

In a murine model of androgenetic alopecia, this study found that the newly designed IGF-1 biomimetic peptide Ac-GFFY-IGF led to faster and superior hair regrowth compared to minoxidil, suggesting potential for improved human therapies.

This study found that Fibroblast growth factor-9 (FGF-9) accelerates epithelial invagination in engineered ectodermal organs and suggests its potential role in organogenesis and regeneration research.

This study found that FGF5-/- rabbits exhibited a significant long hair phenotype by prolonging the anagen phase, suggesting FGF5 acts as a negative regulator of hair growth.

This study suggests that PDGFA and BMP2 play a role in the hair follicle cycle in cashmere goats, with PDGFA particularly involved in activating the growth phase.

This study constructed a hair follicle-specific expression vector for IGFBP-5 in Inner Mongolia Cashmere goat cells, allowing for future functional genetic analyses and potential use in nuclear transfer.

This study demonstrated that FGF5s acts as an inhibitor of FGF5 in regulating hair growth cycles in cashmere goat dermal papilla cells.

In this study, ASC-enriched autologous fat grafting was found to be more effective and satisfying than conventional fat grafting for treating facial contour deformities with hyperpigmentation.

The researchers in this study identified molecular mechanisms involved in frontal fibrosis alopecia, highlighting immune response and fatty acid metabolism, and developed a four-gene diagnostic model showing high accuracy in distinguishing affected individuals from controls.

This study found that A-FABP serum levels were significantly higher in male patients with androgenetic alopecia compared to controls, and the authors concluded that A-FABP could serve as a biomarker for early detection of this condition.

In this study, D-OCT imaging revealed distinct structural and vascular changes in patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, highlighting the technique's potential for diagnosing and monitoring the condition's activity.

In this case report, a 28-year-old male with androgenetic alopecia showed improved hair density and shaft thickness after four monthly sessions of autologous growth factor concentrate injections, with no adverse effects and high patient satisfaction, suggesting the treatment’s promise as a safe and effective option.

This study found that intermittent treatment with FTI lonafarnib and sulforaphane may be a promising therapeutic approach for children with Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, as it improved the cellular phenotype.

This study found that fibroblast growth factors exhibit significant expression differences in the skin of rodents and primates, which may be linked to their evolutionary and environmental adaptations.

This paper introduces Concentration Growth Factor (CGF) as a potential treatment for androgenetic alopecia, but reports no clinical findings on its effectiveness in promoting hair growth.

In a laboratory setting, this study found that overexpression of the FGF5 short form in cultured keratinocytes increased hepatic growth factor gene expression, suggesting a potential role in hair growth.

This study found that the free androgen index (FAI) is a superior marker of hyperandrogenism in men with premature androgenetic alopecia compared to DHEAS and testosterone levels.

In this study, FAPD was characterized in a Chinese population by perifollicular mast cell infiltration, suggesting young individuals may be at higher risk than previously thought.

This study found that zebrafish with a mutation in the GDP-fucose biosynthesis gene exhibited enhanced and faster regeneration of mechanosensory hair cells, implicating the importance of this gene and Notch signalling regulation in hair cell regeneration mechanisms.

This study found that FGF signaling is necessary for the initiation of feather placode development in chicken embryos, with FGF10 being implicated as an early dermal signal in the process.

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 review discusses the mechanisms and pathways of FGFR signalling and its roles in development, disorders, and therapeutic targeting, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that GPC1 is a key regulator of angiogenesis in hair follicles and may be an interesting target for addressing alopecia in dermatology research.
