This article reviews expert opinions on combining pharmacologic treatments like minoxidil with hair transplantation, reporting improved hair density and regrowth in patients with partially functioning follicles.

This article discusses the challenges of diagnosing and managing hair disorders in patients with skin of color, especially conditions more prevalent in those of African descent, and provides no new clinical results.

This review details five cases of syphilitic alopecia, an uncommon symptom in syphilis affecting mainly men, emphasizing that dermatologists should be vigilant as it can appear as the sole symptom.

In this retrospective review, the author discusses key discoveries in understanding androgen excess disorders like PCOS, focusing on genetic and molecular insights gained from 1965 to 2015.

This review discusses laser and energy-assisted drug delivery as a treatment for alopecia and concludes that although all studies show positive effects, some reports indicate no superiority over existing monotherapies.

This study found that mosaic mutations in the CARD14 gene are linked to inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal naevus in two patients, who experienced significant improvement with the IL12/IL23 inhibitor Ustekinumab.

This chapter reviews therapies for skin and corneal regeneration and hair loss, discussing various treatments but presenting no new research findings.

This article discusses Propecia in dermatology but provides no new research findings.

This study suggests that inflammation in the skin can exacerbate intestinal inflammation in inflammatory bowel diseases by activating fibroblasts in the colon through hyaluronan fragments released during skin inflammation.

This meta-analysis suggests that the G allele of AR StuI polymorphism might be a potential risk factor for AGA, particularly in white populations.

This study identified thousands of variant-metabolite associations in the human plasma metabolome, offering insights into the genetic bases of metabolism and potential adverse drug effects.

This study reported that a novel cell culture medium gel significantly increased hair counts and reduced hair loss in men with androgenetic alopecia over a six-month period.

This study identified three subgroups of women with PCOS with distinct androgen profiles, finding that the subgroup with adrenal-derived androgen excess had the highest insulin resistance and rates of hirsutism and hair loss.

This article addresses diffuse pattern essential syphilitic alopecia as an unusual form of secondary syphilis but provides no new clinical findings.

This case report describes a 1.5-month-old baby with Schimmelpenning-Feuerstein-Mims syndrome, manifested by skin and ocular abnormalities along with developmental delays and hearing loss observed later, highlighting the syndrome's progression and need for multidisciplinary management.

This study found that a novel 15% topical minoxidil solution achieved a clinically significant hair regrowth response in 60% of women with female pattern hair loss who did not respond to 5% minoxidil, without increasing adverse events.

Ludwig pattern hair loss results from varying androgen sensitivity, causing fewer thick hairs and more thin hairs.

This study found that frontal and frontoparietal hair recession is relatively common in women, especially after menopause, and may not indicate abnormal androgen metabolism absent other virilization signs.

This article discusses various types of primary cicatricial alopecias and reports no new clinical results; it emphasizes the importance of accurate diagnosis for effective management.

This study developed an in vitro system to analyze human skin progenitor cells' ability to form hair peg-like structures, providing insights for engineering hair follicle organoids.

This study found that combining fractional radiofrequency microneedling with 5% topical minoxidil improved hair count and thickness more than minoxidil alone in Chinese men with male pattern hair loss.

This study found that trichoscopy using anisotrichosis criteria was 75% sensitive and 61.54% specific in diagnosing early female pattern hair loss in women without visible hair thinning.

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.

This study identified 63 genetic loci associated with male-pattern baldness, uncovering genes and pathways that may help develop treatments and suggesting its connection to other human conditions.

This genome-wide association study identified 71 genetic loci linked to male pattern baldness, with 30 novel loci, explaining 38% of the risk and suggesting shared pathways with lifespan and cancer traits.

This study suggests that the HDAC9 gene is a third susceptibility gene for male-pattern baldness, with significant associations found in both German and Australian samples.

This study observed that 2% minoxidil solution was at least as effective as 3% for increasing hair growth and stabilizing bald areas in men with male pattern baldness.

In this study, researchers found that L-cysteine interacted electrostatically with anionic ions on the surface of keratin fibers in human hair, reducing the rate of disulfide bond disconnection at pH 9.0.

This study found that young women with female-pattern hair loss exhibit increased testosterone production rates while dihydrotestosterone production rates remain within or below the normal range.

This study observed a potential association between the CC genotype of rs4646 and female pattern hair loss, but the authors advise caution due to lack of experiment-wide significance and recommend replication.
