This study reports cases of androgenetic alopecia patients with depigmented macules on sun-exposed scalp areas, suggesting potential ultraviolet-induced scalp leukoderma not covered in existing dermatology texts.

This study found that artificial copolyamide fiber implantation was generally safe and aesthetically pleasing for patients with androgenetic alopecia who failed conventional therapies, though mild complications like folliculitis were noted in some cases.

This study found that moisture sorption properties of wool and hair fibers from various animals were similar, despite different structural features, with sorbed water being more ordered than liquid water.

Hair transplant complications were likely due to deep graft placement and rough handling.

This review assessed experimental studies on herbs used for alopecia, identifying potential mechanisms involving hair cycle management and keratinocyte processes, but highlighted a need for improved evidence on quality control and toxicity of these herbal treatments.

In this study, researchers prepared a humanized CXCL12 antibody for alopecia areata treatment, finding it significantly delayed disease onset in mice and reduced immune cell activation, suggesting potential as an immune modulatory therapy.

This study found that ginger supplementation significantly improved persistent hypothyroid symptoms and may aid in weight and lipid profile management in hypothyroid patients with normal TSH levels.

This study found that chemical hair straightening significantly reduced hair curl and improved smoothness and shine, but did not significantly affect transverse fissures or split ends, indicating potential benefits with some side effects.

This review focuses on the roles of amino acids, peptides, and proteins in cosmetics, highlighting their importance in skin health and their potential for development in personal care products due to their unique properties and biocompatibility.

This study found that plasma jets can effectively clean and oxidize human hair fibers, with argon/oxygen plasma having the strongest effects, suggesting potential as an alternative to peroxide treatment.

In this narrative review, researchers outlined the role of T cells in the autoimmune pathogenesis of alopecia areata and highlighted ongoing research into therapeutic pathways, beyond current JAK inhibitors, aimed at developing new treatments for the disease.

In this study, the bending stiffness of human hair was linked to the varying proportions of para-like versus ortho-like cortical cells within the hair fiber.

Some patients with Alopecia Areata experience itch due to immune cells and enzymes that cause itching.

This report describes the first known case of atypical fibroxanthoma developing on a hair-transplanted scalp, potentially linked to sun exposure and CO2 laser treatment.

This study found that the circular RNA circCOL1A1 influences the formation of superior-quality brush hair in white goats by regulating hair follicle stem cell behavior and interacting with the miR-149-5p/CMTM3/AR axis.

This article explores the integration of nanotechnology and cosmetics, highlighting the development of cosmeceuticals targeting issues such as wrinkling, hyperpigmentation, and skin dehydration, while also reviewing cosmetic history and types of nanotechnology by particle size.

In this study, tresses treated with pH 1.0 acid straightener showed better straightening but more damage to hair properties compared to those treated with pH 2.0.

This study found that a formulated polyherbal antidandruff hair oil containing eucalyptus and ocimum volatile oils, along with hibiscus and phyllanthus extracts, showed both antifungal and hair growth activities in open pilot clinical trials.
