This study found that increased protein intake during fasting can nearly eliminate hair loss associated with weight loss, suggesting that protein availability is more critical than the speed of weight loss for hair growth.

This case report associates severe zinc deficiency with long-term total parenteral nutrition, suggesting the need for trace element supplementation in such nutritional management.

A new mutation in the HR gene causes hair loss in a specific family.

Antisense oligonucleotides show promise for treating Myotonic Dystrophy type I.

This study found that supplementing arsenic-fed Black Bengal kids with vitamin E, alone or combined with yeast culture, partially ameliorated growth and reduced arsenic load in faeces, urine, and hair.

This study in mice found that a zinc-deficient diet suppressed body weight gain and increased kidney and cecum tissue weight without decreasing serum alkaline phosphatase activity. Additionally, zinc deficiency caused alopecia and intestinal changes in C57BL/6J mice, potentially affecting nutritional status.

In this study, nine individuals who underwent rigorous weight loss programs experienced significant hair loss, which researchers attributed to insufficient energy supply to the hair matrix, with regrowth occurring within months.
