This study found that normalizing mineral ion levels in vitamin D receptor-ablated mice prevented hyperparathyroidism, rickets, and osteomalacia, but alopecia persisted, indicating a separate role for the receptor in hair growth.

This study developed the Alopecia Areata Investigator Global Assessment (AA-IGA) to measure scalp-hair loss in alopecia areata patients, incorporating perspectives of both patients and clinicians to define treatment success.

This study found that hair cortisol concentrations can be reliably measured in healthy children and generally increase with age, unaffected by gender, puberty, or hair care practices.

This study found that serum 3 alpha-diol G levels in women with idiopathic hirsutism correlated well with their clinical response to treatment, suggesting its usefulness in evaluating treatment outcomes.

This review found that many low-level light therapy studies report beneficial effects but often fail to provide adequate measurement details, affecting the reliability and repeatability of the research.

This literature review reported that scalp hypothermia significantly decreases the occurrence of chemotherapy-induced alopecia, increasing effectiveness by 2.7-fold in controlled clinical trials and 3.9-fold in randomized trials, and highlighted a need for standard guidelines for its use.

This meta-analysis found a consistent positive association between glucocorticoids in hair and obesity measures, with the relationship between hair cortisone and waist circumference being particularly clinically relevant.

In this study, gene expression profiling in mice identified fluphenazine and iloprost as potential inducers of hair growth, highlighting a new strategy for exploring hair-growth treatments in animal models.

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.

This study found that a hair care treatment using integral silk proteins and linseed-derived polysaccharides effectively protected and repaired bleached and colored hair swatches, significantly improving their resistance, luster, and reducing structural damage after chemical treatments.

This study found that Super Merino sheep have a higher wool follicle density, finer fleece, and distinct gene expression compared to Small Tail Han sheep, which may inform future breeding and genetic interventions.

This study found that hair transplant surgery significantly improves health utility scores compared to untreated androgenetic alopecia in both men and women, as perceived by laypeople.

This study found that cured meat products in South-west Nigeria contained cadmium at levels above acceptable limits, indicating a need for stricter regulatory control to protect public health.

This study reported that pulverizing hair samples significantly improves the precision of testosterone measurement, with higher testosterone concentrations observed in men than in women.

This study found that optical coherence tomography provides highly reproducible and less variable measurements of hair shaft thickness compared to standard light microscopy, offering a promising noninvasive tool for clinical practice.

This review discusses the limitations of existing clinician-reported outcome measures for alopecia areata and emphasizes the need for a composite scoring system to better assess disease severity.

This study found that achieving 80% scalp hair regrowth (SALT score ≤ 20) is considered a meaningful treatment success by expert clinicians-then-patients with ≥ 50% scalp hair loss.

This study assessed minoxidil solubility in propylene glycol and water mixtures, comparing cosolvency models and examining thermodynamic properties, without reporting new clinical results.

In this study, microarray and proteomic analyses indicated that genes involved in immune response, receptor binding, and growth factor activity might influence wool fibre diameter in sheep.

This study found that improved testosterone measurement using LC-MS/MS in women with PCOS revealed a stronger correlation between hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance than previously detected.

This study found that tristimulus colorimetry is a sensitive and quantitative method for projecting hair growth rates in depilated mice, and it observed that 890 nm LED irradiation promotes hair regrowth.

This study observed that a self-emulsifying drug delivery system for finasteride significantly enhanced bioavailability in rats compared to commercial tablets, but the formulation was found to be thermodynamically unstable.

This article reviews the need for a reliable and safe method to prevent alopecia areata from progressing to more severe states and reports no new research findings.

This study found that objective measurements of hair growth, such as hair growth rate and diameter, can provide a more accurate evaluation of androgenic alopecia than subjective grading alone.

This study developed a new measurement procedure using isotope dilution-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry for accurate quantification of DHEAS in human serum or plasma, demonstrating high selectivity, sensitivity, and low measurement uncertainty, making it suitable for routine standardization and clinical evaluation.

This study assessed the effectiveness of the EQ-5D in measuring health-related quality of life for alopecia areata patients and found it may not accurately capture the burden of the condition, particularly its psychosocial impact, compared to other more condition-specific measures.

This study validated the Women's Androgenetic Alopecia Quality of Life questionnaire as a reliable and valid measure of health-related quality of life in women with alopecia areata.

The abstract contains only graphic design specifications and reports no new research findings.

This study describes new devices, "HairMeasure" and "Scalp Zone Identifier," which offer an economical method to calculate Hair Mass Index without disposable materials.

This study found no correlation between clinical signs and sex steroid levels in ferrets with hyperadrenocorticism and noted that androstenedione was elevated in many cases.
