This study reviews hair follicle physiology and common scalp diseases such as androgenetic alopecia, telogen effluvium, and alopecia areata, highlighting their pathophysiology and current treatment approaches, which may include topical, systemic, and adjunctive therapies.

This study used a 3D live imaging system to map cell dynamics in human hair follicles, revealing patterns of cell movement and division that help explain hair fiber extrusion during hair growth.

In this study, researchers found that 32.5% of stray cats in Bogor, Indonesia, tested positive for dermatophyte infections, specifically Microsporum canis, highlighting the potential zoonotic risk these cats pose.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata had increased levels of serum immunoglobulin E and interleukin-13 compared to healthy controls, with additional variation in levels observed across age and weight.

This study developed a new human in vitro hair model that replicates in vivo hair characteristics and may be suitable for high throughput screening of hair growth treatments.

In this study, PRP treatment improved hair loss in 40 female patients with female pattern alopecia, with most progressing to better grades of hair coverage after 6 months, while only minor pain was occasionally reported as an adverse effect.

This study used quantitative methods to identify new geometric and mechanical parameters of curly and kinky/coily hair, aiming to improve classification and develop better personal care products for these hair types.

This observational study concluded that anti-Ku antibodies do not specifically indicate any systemic autoimmune disease or associated clinical phenotype.

This study found that dihydrotestosterone alters the balance of Wnt pathway regulators in dermal papilla cells, hindering hair follicle stem cell differentiation and contributing to hair follicle miniaturization.

This case report identifies a novel LIPH gene mutation linked to autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis in a Japanese boy, expanding the spectrum of known mutations associated with this condition.

This study suggests that enhancing endocannabinoid tone with an EMT-inhibitor may have anti-inflammatory effects and slightly increase sebaceous lipid production, which could be beneficial for dry skin conditions.

In this animal study, zinc deficiency in mice was linked to disrupted hair cycles and impaired hair regrowth, which were reversed by zinc supplementation.

This study explored the role of nine specific miRNAs in human hair follicles, revealing significant miRNA/mRNA correlations for miR-24, miR-31, and miR-106a and identifying target genes involved in hair biology.

This study found that microfibrils play a crucial role in shaping permanent waves by thioglycolic acid, and treating damaged hair with hydrolyzed keratin improved both waving efficiency and hair damage.

Hair loss affects 20% of people, more in men and those over 35, and is often associated with a sensitive scalp.

A nonchemical lotion was found effective in killing head lice and their eggs in most people, indicating it could be useful for managing head lice.

Advancements in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery improve techniques and patient satisfaction.

Using a microscope during hair transplants cuts damage to follicles in half and could improve hair growth.

This study concluded that low energy laser therapy may effectively complement classical treatment for scalp alopecia, leading to faster results, although long-term maintenance still requires ongoing classical therapy.

This study found that a decrease in estradiol levels in women is associated with increased hair shedding due to weakened anchoring of telogen hairs.

FPHL affects hair density and diameter, causing visible hair loss in older women.

This study found that peripilar signs on the scalp are linked to perifollicular lymphocytic infiltrates in early androgenetic alopecia, detectable even in areas with high hair density.

This study identified acne, superficial mycoses, pigmentation disorders, and actinic keratosis as the most common dermatologic diagnoses in Brazil, emphasizing the importance of skin cancer and leprosy in public health.

This review highlights the light microscopic features of various infectious and non-infectious hair conditions and reports no new clinical results.

This article describes the immunofluorescence tomography method to achieve high-resolution 3-D reconstruction of epithelial tissues and reports no clinical results.

This study found that low-frequency sonophoresis significantly decreased the skin penetration of sodium fluorescein-loaded PEGylated liposomes with D-limonene and affected percutaneous absorption by partially plugging hair follicle orifices.

This study found that the free androgen index (FAI) is a superior marker of hyperandrogenism in men with premature androgenetic alopecia compared to DHEAS and testosterone levels.

This review discusses the benefits and applications of low level laser therapy in cosmetic dermatology, particularly for skin conditions and pigmentation disorders, but reports no new clinical results.

This report describes a rare case of kerion in a 6-year-old boy in Ireland, treated with oral Itraconazole and steroids, highlighting the condition's unusual occurrence in the region.

This study found that the ethanolic extracts of G. glabra and Z. mauritiana roots did not prevent androgenic alopecia in a testosterone-induced animal model.
