January 2020 in “Skin appendage disorders” Finasteride may help treat frontal fibrosing alopecia, but more research is needed.
In this case report, a 38-year-old woman with lifelong monilethrix and progressive frontal scalp thinning associated with androgenetic alopecia highlights the diagnostic and management challenges when these hair conditions coexist.
In this case study, a 38-year-old woman with monilethrix, a hair shaft disorder causing hair fragility, was also diagnosed with androgenetic alopecia, leading the authors to emphasize the complexity in diagnosing and managing such combined hair conditions.
March 2026 in “Skin Appendage Disorders” In this case report, a 38-year-old woman with monilethrix, a hair shaft disorder, was found to have both hair fragility and androgenetic alopecia, highlighting the diagnostic and management challenges posed by coexisting hair conditions.
January 2026 in “Dermatologic Therapy” In this hospital-based cross-sectional study, researchers found that alopecia is more prevalent in younger patients, with alopecia areata and lichen planopilaris being the most common types among noncicatricial and cicatricial cases, respectively; additionally, thyroid abnormalities were frequently associated with both types of alopecia.
September 2025 in “Journal of Dermatology Research Reviews & Reports” This study found that men aged 33 to 44 with androgenetic alopecia experienced significant hair improvement over 7 months after treatment with autologous cells using the Rigenera® system, as evaluated by HairMetrix® technology.
July 2025 in “Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology” Hair diameter diversity helps assess hair loss, but its standard measure varies by individual and ethnicity.
January 2024 in “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology” This study suggests that male androgenetic alopecia and female pattern hair loss follow distinct progression pathways, characterized by different trichoscopic patterns related to hair diameter and follicular unit changes.
January 2024 in “Asian Journal of Medical Sciences” In this study, researchers in South India observed that dermoscopic features like hair diameter diversity and miniaturized hair were common in female pattern hair loss, with yellow dots and honeycombing indicating more advanced stages, highlighting dermoscopy's utility in diagnosing and differentiating FPHL early.
September 2023 in “Biomedical Optics Express” This study used non-invasive imaging techniques to assess hair follicle characteristics in AGA mice, revealing delayed hair shaft alternation and growth stages, as well as testosterone-induced follicle miniaturization, offering potential methods for evaluating AGA on human scalps in vivo.
August 2023 in “JAAD Case Reports” This report describes a 57-year-old woman with fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution, who experienced hair regrowth with combined treatment including hydroxychloroquine and other topical and oral therapies.
June 2023 in “Aesthetic Plastic Surgery” This study introduces the PRECISE scale, a quantitative tool to classify androgenetic alopecia, aiming to improve planning and outcomes for hair transplantation surgeries by evaluating the whole hairless and thinning areas.
This study identified specific lncRNAs and mRNAs differentially expressed in miniaturized follicles compared to normal follicles in patients with androgenetic alopecia, with AL136131.3 potentially inhibiting hair growth and accelerating follicle transition to catagen through effects on glycolysis-related genes.
This study shows that multiphoton microscopy can non-invasively distinguish scarring from non-scarring alopecia by identifying specific morphological features in hair follicle structures.
January 2015 in “Indian Dermatology Online Journal” This diagnostic discussion reports that diffuse alopecia areata was identified in a patient with diffuse hair loss, based on specific histopathological features observed in a biopsy.
April 2012 in “Informa Healthcare eBooks” Fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution is a unique hair loss condition with inflammation and scarring, resembling but distinct from common balding.
April 2012 in “Informa Healthcare eBooks” The document concludes that diagnosing hair loss requires evaluating multiple histological features, as no single feature is definitive on its own.
