Aging in hair follicle stem cells leads to hair graying, thinning, and loss.
research Differential Diagnosis of Hair Loss in Children
The document concludes that early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for children with hair loss to prevent permanent damage, although not all conditions can be effectively treated.
research Immune Modulation of Hair Follicle Regeneration
Immune cells help regulate hair growth, and better understanding this can improve hair loss treatments.
research Lymphocytic Mediated Alopecia: Histological Classification by Pattern Analysis
Steven Kossard classified lymphocyte-related hair loss into four patterns, each linked to different types of baldness.
research Immune Cell Regulation of the Hair Cycle
Immune cells affect hair growth and could lead to new hair loss treatments.
research iNKT Cells Ameliorate Human Autoimmunity: Lessons from Alopecia Areata
iNKT cells can help prevent and treat alopecia areata by promoting hair regrowth.
research Efficacy of Topical Tofacitinib in Promoting Hair Growth in Non-Scarring Alopecia: Possible Mechanism via VEGF Induction
Topical tofacitinib may grow hair better than minoxidil by increasing VEGF and reducing inflammation.
research Clinical Case Notes: Tamoxifen Optic Neuropathy
A boy with chromosome 13q deletion syndrome developed eye cancer, a woman with breast cancer lost vision due to a rare side-effect of her treatment, a man's vision worsened after using a hair loss drug, and two rare disorders were discussed.
