This study identified distinct clinical and dermatoscopic features to differentiate non-scarring patchy alopecia in SLE from alopecia areata, emphasizing the value of serological tests in diagnosis.

This study found that gonadal steroid hormones influence alopecia areata in C3H/HeJ mice, with estradiol promoting progression and dihydrotestosterone conferring resistance to disease onset.

This article reviews the causal mechanisms of hair follicle disorders, focusing on inflammation, genetics, environment, and hormones, but it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, PINCH-1 gene loss in mouse epidermis led to detachment from the basement membrane, thickened skin, and hair loss, with findings suggesting PINCH-1 plays a role in keratinocyte adhesion through both ILK and EPLIN pathways.

In this study using genetic mouse models, researchers discovered that senescent melanocytes in nevi secrete osteopontin, which activates hair stem cells, enhancing hair growth; this process is mirrored in human hairy nevi, suggesting a potential therapeutic target for regenerative disorders.

This study analyzes how commercial websites for Propecia depict male hair loss and promote medical treatment, suggesting they contribute to medicalizing a natural condition for profit.

This study identified somatostatin as a potential secretory factor contributing to the immune privilege of human hair follicles.

This review discusses the impact of medical and surgical treatments for LUTS/BPH on ejaculatory function, highlighting that most treatments negatively affect it, except for some minimally invasive surgical therapies and specific medical therapies.

In this study, the methanol extract of Cercidiphyllum japonicum heartwood was found to stimulate the proliferation of mouse hair epithelial cells, with several isolated compounds showing significant proliferative activities.

This study found that spironolactone reduced fish fecundity and caused masculinization of females at certain concentrations, while having no effect on Daphnia magna reproduction, underscoring concerns for environmental exposure to vertebrates.

This study found that polymeric nanoparticle suspensions can deliver poorly water-soluble drugs to hair follicles in animal models, suggesting a promising method for targeted topical treatments.

In this study, transgenic mice altered to express a Clim-inhibiting molecule under a keratin promoter showed corneal degradation and hair follicle failure, highlighting Clim proteins' role in maintaining these tissues.

This study found that macrophage-stimulating protein (MSP) enhanced hair growth in both human hair follicles cultured in vitro and in mice through the promotion of anagen phase induction.

Murine cytomegalovirus does not cause alopecia areata in these mice.

Propranolol affects heart rate and renin levels in minoxidil-treated patients.

This study found that Caucasian female hair is denser than Asian female hair in the occipital region regardless of treatment but thinner in diameter in both the frontal and occipital regions.

This review discusses recent advances in understanding the pathogenesis of autoimmune alopecia areata and reports no new clinical results; it highlights potential for developing more effective treatments.

In this study, YK11 was found to promote osteoblast cell proliferation and differentiation through activation of non-genomic signaling pathways in mouse osteoblast cells.

This case study identified Trichophyton rubrum as the cause of trichophytia profunda acuta in a patient using nested PCR, suggesting an alternative diagnostic approach when KOH tests and cultures fail.

This review discusses rodent models of alopecia areata and suggests they are crucial for understanding the autoimmune mechanisms and potential treatments but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, dietary biotin supplementation showed no significant benefit on reproductive performance in sows or pre-weaning growth and mortality in piglets.

This study found that extracellular vesicles derived from hair follicle mesenchymal stromal cells demonstrated similar potential to those from adipose tissue in promoting cell proliferation and migration, enhancing angiogenesis, and protecting cells under stress, suggesting promise for chronic wound treatment.

Early stage bald spots are linked to skin inflammation and damage to the upper part of the hair follicle.

This study developed a vascularized full-thickness skin equivalent with a complex vascular network, enhancing its predictiveness for topical and systemic drug applications in dermatology research.

This review discusses the physiology and potential hormonal mechanisms involved in female pattern hair loss, as well as the current hormonal and hormone-modifying treatments available, but reports no new research findings.

This study found that IFN-γ plays a critical role in T cell activation and the pathogenesis of alopecia areata in C3H/HeJ mice.

This study suggests that long-term treatment with the contact sensitizer SADBE in mice may reduce leucocyte traffic in alopecia areata through impaired leucocyte extravasation.

In this study, the researchers observed that subjects with alopecia areata had the highest plasma level of cardiac troponin I, followed by those with androgenetic alopecia, and the lowest levels in individuals without hair loss.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata exhibit a stronger deficiency in coping with stress compared to those with androgenetic alopecia and controls, suggesting a psychosomatic component to the condition.
