This study found that a herbal gel containing fenugreek seed extract significantly promoted hair growth on mice after 30 days of topical application.

This study found that a peripilar white gray halo around hair emergence is a highly specific and sensitive dermatoscopic feature for diagnosing central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in African American patients with mild central thinning.

This study found that Iranian patients with androgenetic alopecia had a higher terminal to vellus hair ratio compared to previous studies in Whites, suggesting potential onset of miniaturization.

This article introduces the term "anisotrichosis" to describe the significant variation in hair shaft diameters observed in pattern alopecia, drawing a parallel to anisocytosis seen in blood smears, but reports no new research findings.

This study found that hair canal and follicle diameters, outer root sheath area, and terminal-to-vellus hair ratios were significantly reduced in androgenetic alopecia patients compared to normal controls.

Polarized microscopy is a quick and free method to correctly identify types of hair loss.

This study found that clinically non-affected perilesional scalp in Japanese alopecia patients often showed microscopic abnormalities, which may help in assessing the spread of disease activities.

This article reviews advances in the histologic evaluation of alopecia and hair-related disorders, without presenting new clinical results.

This review outlines the oral toxic effects of chemotherapy and stresses the need for evaluating dental health prior to treatment to mitigate these complications, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that in scarring alopecia, stem cells are differentially localized, suggesting that both inner and outer root sheath stem cells, rather than just follicular bulge stem cells, are involved.

Scarring alopecias are complex hair loss disorders that require early treatment to prevent permanent hair loss.

This study developed a specific radioimmunoassay to measure minoxidil levels in human serum directly from a single oral dose.

This case report describes a 26-year-old female with linear morphea and unique alopecia characterized by atrophic follicular remnants, resembling telogen follicles but indicating permanent alopecia, unlike typical findings in morphea-related alopecia.

This review examines non-invasive methods for diagnosing inflammatory skin diseases like lupus erythematosus and psoriatic inflammation using samples from plucked hair and skin tape-strips, but no new clinical results are presented.

This article reviews recent advances and therapeutic approaches in treating alopecia areata, highlighting new potential treatments like pulse corticosteroid therapy, but reports no new research findings.

This study reports that scalp biopsies in white adults usually have 16.5 hair follicles, primarily in the anagen phase, with male samples showing fewer follicular units but more fibrous tracts in certain areas.

This article reports a case of a 30-year-old woman developing alopecia after a hyaluronic acid injection, with trichoscopic findings described for the first time.

This review discusses the current knowledge on using special and immunohistochemical stains for diagnosing hair disorders, concluding that no stains are recommended for routine use in hair pathology.

This study concluded that to accurately calculate the transection rate in follicular unit extraction, it's essential to account for both extracted and hidden transections, which differ based on surgeon expertise.

This study evaluates if using a dissecting stereomicroscope affects the rate of hair follicle transection during graft dissection, but reports no new conclusive results.

This study observed that expanding regulatory T cells in the skin of mice with alopecia areata did not reverse the condition, indicating that additional immunotherapy may be necessary.

This article reviews the evolution of dermatology surgery training, emphasizing the need for standardized and objective assessment tools for residents, and reports no new clinical results.

This article discusses tinea capitis, highlighting its causes, symptoms, diagnostic methods, and the importance of selecting treatment based on the causal agent for effective outcomes; it reports no new clinical results.

This study describes a newly observed "inflammatory vellus involvement" pattern in early frontal fibrosing alopecia, which may lead to misdiagnosis due to the absence of typical histological features.

This study suggests that in mice, plasmalogens may enhance hair growth by activating TRPC4 channels, which increases calcium influx and subsequently stimulates AMPK in hair follicles.

The authors concluded that chronic telogen effluvium in middle-aged women presents distinct clinical and histological features that differ from androgenetic alopecia and acute telogen effluvium.

Inflammation may be linked to hair loss, and targeting specific enzymes could help treat it.

This study found that frontal fibrosing alopecia and lichen planopilaris have similar histopathological features, but FFA exhibits more prominent apoptosis and less inflammation with spared interfollicular epidermis.

This article discusses the role of hair follicles in enhancing topical drug delivery and explores strategies for targeting these areas to improve treatment outcomes for skin diseases, but reports no new research results.

This study found that permanent alopecia can occur after certain chemotherapy treatments and presents as nonscarring hair loss similar to androgenetic alopecia, with specific histological features that could be misdiagnosed without proper clinicopathological correlation.
