A gene mutation causes woolly hair in a Syrian patient.

Microinflammation is more intense in smaller hair follicles and may be linked to hair loss.

Hair stem cells produce a protein called COL17A1 that plays a key role in their development and is linked to hair thinning and baldness.

The conclusion is that treatments like finasteride and minoxidil can prevent baldness progression and improve hair density, but more research is needed on other therapies.

UV exposure causes hair thinning, graying, and changes in hair growth cycles in mice.

Intense pulsed light treatment effectively reduces underarm hair by making hair follicles smaller and extending their resting phase.

Hair loss from alopecia areata and androgenetic alopecia can be treated, but more effective and safer treatments are needed.

Sebaceous glands are involved in various skin disorders, some treatable with medications like finasteride and minoxidil.

Male pattern baldness is linked to higher levels of a certain receptor in the scalp, which leads to the shrinking of blood vessels and hair loss. Early treatment targeting this receptor could be more effective.

Inhibiting Zyxin may help treat androgenetic alopecia by promoting hair growth.

A tick bite caused temporary hair loss in a man, which is a rare condition that usually gets better within 3 months.

Tamoxifen may cause female hair loss by increasing androgen receptor expression.

Hair loss, known as Androgenetic Alopecia, is often caused by hormones and can be diagnosed using noninvasive techniques. Treatments include topical minoxidil and oral finasteride, with new treatments being explored. There may also be a link between this type of hair loss and heart disease risk.

The document concludes that androgenetic alopecia is common, has a genetic link, and can be diagnosed and treated with medications like finasteride and minoxidil.

Hair loss in androgenetic alopecia may be due to ongoing tiny inflammation and tissue changes around hair follicles.

Estetrol (E4) may help treat female pattern hair loss by prolonging hair growth.

Increased cell death and reduced cell growth in hair follicles contribute to baldness.

Future treatments for androgenic alopecia may focus on reactivating hair follicle stem cells and improving drug delivery.

AGEs and their receptors play a significant role in hair loss by causing inflammation and oxidative stress.

Scientists created cell lines from balding patients and found that cells from the front of the scalp are more affected by hormones that cause hair loss than those from the back.

The document concludes that understanding hair follicle histology and the hair cycle is crucial for diagnosing alopecia.

Estetrol may help prevent hair loss and promote hair growth in women.

Damaged hair follicle stem cells may leave the skin to help maintain youthfulness.

Minoxidil and finasteride are the only FDA-approved treatments for hair loss caused by genetic and hormonal factors, but their effectiveness is often doubted, indicating a need for new treatments.

A woman with systemic sclerosis developed a unique scarring hair loss combining features of systemic sclerosis and frontal fibrosing alopecia.

The research found that male pattern hair loss is mostly genetic and involves hair thinning due to hormonal effects and changes in gene expression.

Increasing COX-2 in mouse skin causes bigger sebaceous glands and thinner hair, but stopping COX-2 can reverse hair thinning.

Tofacitinib is a potential alternative treatment for alopecia totalis, especially in patients with a shorter duration of the condition and more preserved hair follicles, but the overall response rate is low.

Higher fluence in hair removal damages hair follicles more, while lower fluence mimics natural hair regression, with long-term IPL treatments effectively reducing hair.

A 14-year-old boy was diagnosed with a rare hair condition that may lead to hair thinning and has no known effective treatments.
