This review discusses the cosmetic and health implications of hirsutism and highlights its potential link to serious underlying disorders, but it presents no new clinical findings.

This study evaluated serum copper and zinc levels in individuals with various types of alopecia and found that low zinc levels are associated with all types of alopecia, while low copper levels are specifically related to male pattern hair loss.

This study found that using the KNU implanter for follicular unit transplantation resulted in a high survival rate of 92% at 6 months, regardless of whether one-hair or two-hair units were used.

Female hair loss patients more likely to have dry eye and gland issues.

This study found no association between the androgen receptor gene and type II androgenetic alopecia in Egyptian women, suggesting it is not a useful biomarker for genetic predisposition.

This study found that vertical sections of alopecia biopsy specimens had a higher concordance rate with the original combined diagnosis compared to transverse sections alone, although both methods have their pros and cons.

This study found that finasteride 1 mg improved hair growth in 85.7% of Korean men with androgenetic alopecia over five years, with varying effectiveness depending on the type of hair loss.

This study investigated treatments for male androgenetic alopecia, finding that combining injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) with microneedling increased hair growth more effectively than i-PRF alone according to questionnaires and photographic assessments.

In this case study, a 38-year-old woman with female androgenetic alopecia experienced improved hair density, reduced scalp oiliness, and enhanced hair structure after ten microneedle mesotherapy treatments combined with saw palmetto supplementation, with no adverse effects reported.

This study reports that caspase-14's expression pattern in the epidermis and hair follicles is highly conserved across diverse mammalian species, suggesting its early evolutionary role in mammalian skin maturation.

This study introduced and evaluated Ahmad's NPRT system for documenting hair loss, finding it helpful in assessing the specific state of male pattern baldness in 500 patients.

This article suggests that male pattern hair loss might have historically served as an evolutionary signal for women to choose younger male partners, potentially improving population fitness.

This review discusses the embryology, structure, and function of sebaceous glands and their involvement in skin disorders but reports no novel findings.

This review discusses laser/light treatments for pattern hair loss and reports no clinical validation of current devices; experts recommend physician evaluation to exclude other medical conditions.

In this double-blind, randomized controlled trial, researchers found that cow placenta extract lotion was as effective as topical minoxidil 2% in increasing hair count for women with androgenetic alopecia over six months, though the mean increases in hair count were similar for both treatments.

This study found that keratins have evolutionarily conserved and domain-selectively enriched amino acids, which likely reflect their unique structural roles, with distinct patterns observed among epidermal, hair, and simple-type epithelial keratins.

This study found that dermoscopy combined with calcium fluorescent white staining effectively aided in the early diagnosis and treatment evaluation of tinea capitis by highlighting specific hair changes and fluorescent patterns associated with different dermatophyte infections in a sample of 20 patients.

In this study, researchers found that while low serum ferritin levels are common among women, there was no clear association between those low levels and diffuse hair loss in patients with female pattern hair loss and chronic telogen effluvium.

This study characterizes a type II keratin intermediate filament gene family involved in early sheep follicle differentiation, detailing gene expression patterns and sequences in hair cortical cells.

This study found that the main causes of diffuse hair loss in adult women were female pattern hair loss, telogen effluvium, chronic telogen effluvium, and a combination of female pattern hair loss with telogen effluvium.

This case report describes a 72-year-old woman with a steroid cell tumor of the ovary, highlighting the critical role of imaging, biochemical evaluation, and pathology in diagnosing and managing hormonally active ovarian tumors that cause virilization in postmenopausal women.

This article reviews the generation of complex integument patterns through genetic, chemical, and environmental influences, with applications in tissue engineering, but reports no new experimental results.

This review outlines the evolution of hair follicle engineering and its foundational discoveries, but reports no new experimental results.

This study traces the history and evolution of hair transplantation, highlighting key developments from Dr. Okuda's 1939 techniques to today's FUT and FUE methods, while noting ongoing challenges like high costs and societal stigma despite increasing market acceptance.

This article discusses the evaluation and management of a 45-year-old woman with diffuse scalp-hair loss and reports no new clinical findings.

Excessive hair growth in women can be treated with medications like spironolactone and finasteride, and male-pattern baldness in women can be improved with similar treatments.

This review discusses ovarian hyperthecosis as a rare cause of androgenetic alopecia in postmenopausal women and reports no new results; the authors highlight the need to explore its relationship to alopecia further.

In this study, a herbal hair cream containing extracts from Hibiscus rosa sinensis, Eclipta alba, and Solanum nigrum was developed, showing promising in-vitro inhibition of the 5α-reductase enzyme and potential benefits for alopecia treatment.

This review discusses the evolution of the term “hot comb alopecia” to central cicatricial centrifugal alopecia (CCCA) and highlights the ongoing debate over hairstyling practices' role in its pathology, without offering new clinical results.

In this study, the vertex type of male pattern baldness was associated with increased cardiovascular risk factors, suggesting it may serve as a marker for cardiovascular evaluation in men.
