This article discusses a historical case of a rare skin disorder involving alopecia and follicular plugs reported in 1907; it presents no new findings.

In this preclinical study, PA-011 derived from Periplaneta americana showed significant hair regrowth effects in androgenetic alopecia mouse models by inhibiting inflammation and oxidative stress, activating hair follicle stem cell proliferation, and normalizing skin microbiota, suggesting promise as an AGA treatment.

This article discusses recent findings on piedra infections in hair and their keratinolytic activities, but reports no new clinical results.

In this randomized controlled trial, the nutritional supplement PPT5 α was associated with increased terminal hair percentages and improved self-assessed hair parameters in women with early-stage androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that hypaphorine alters cytoskeletal organization in Eucalyptus globulus root hairs, contributing to reduced root hair elongation by possibly disrupting vesicle delivery needed for growth.

This study found that LHE may prevent and reverse testosterone-induced prostatic hyperplasia, supporting the traditional use of Kigelia africana for some reproductive system disorders.

This study found that Undariopsis peterseniana extract may promote hair growth by activating specific cellular pathways, suggesting potential for treating alopecia.

This article describes a rare case of mixed black and white piedra in a patient's scalp hair, which is unusual as these two types of piedra rarely occur together.

This study investigated the botanical characteristics and preliminary phytochemical components of Nepenthes kampotiana, revealing its morphological structure, including pitcher-like leaves for trapping prey, and identifying chemical groups such as essential oils, triterpenoids, flavonoids, and tannins.

This review explores Dracaena trifasciata, known as mother-in-law's tongue, detailing its botanical properties, traditional medicinal uses, and the pharmacological and phytochemical characteristics observed in various studies.

This study found that Peperomia pellucida extract may promote hair growth, improve male libido and fertility, and support renal cell health.

This study found that Resina Pini and its main component, abietic acid, significantly promoted hair growth in a mouse model of androgenic alopecia by inhibiting 5α-reductase activity.

This study found that Peperomia pellucida plant extract may benefit hair growth, male libido, male fertility, and renal cell recovery.

This report describes several cases of pili annulati in children, highlighting its genetic predisposition and distinctive "zebra stripe" hair pattern, but notes no effective treatment is available.

In this laboratory study, the methanolic extract of Eclipta alba demonstrated significant anthelmintic activity against earthworms (Pheretima posthuma), causing paralysis and death at doses of 50-100 mg/ml, with stronger effects observed at higher concentrations compared to the standard treatment, albendazole.

This study observed that piperonylic acid activated key signaling pathways in dermal papilla cells and increased hair growth markers, and a clinical trial showed users of a piperonylic acid formulation had more hair than those using a placebo, suggesting its potential for treating hair loss.

This article discusses the characteristics and pathogenesis of pseudofolliculitis barbae, particularly its prevalence in men of African and Asian descent, but presents no new research findings.

This study reported that alopecia areata mostly affects young Black African males, with very few associated pathologies observed in this population.

This study reports that Plantago asiatica L. extract may promote hair growth by enhancing growth factor production and activating specific signaling pathways in hair follicle dermal papilla cells.

This study found that a hair tonic combining fragrant pandan and celery extracts increased hair length in guinea pigs, with the 1:5 concentration showing the best growth activity.

This study demonstrated that Periplaneta americana extract significantly promoted hair regeneration in depilated mice by enhancing superoxide dismutase activity, upregulating vascular endothelial growth factor, modulating the FOXO/PI3K/AKT pathway, and restoring skin microbiome balance, suggesting its potential as a novel therapeutic candidate for alopecia.

In this study, PA-011 extract was reported to promote hair growth and alleviate alopecia areata symptoms in mice by reducing skin inflammation and modulating skin microbiota.

This study found that water fractions of Angiopteris evecta stimulated hair growth in male rabbits, suggesting potential alopecia treatment benefits pending further research in humans.

This study suggests that lichen planopilaris should be considered as a potential diagnosis in African American women with scarring alopecia, often displaying an "arrowhead" distribution pattern, which may guide treatment strategies.

This study found that anise ethanol extract at 10% and 20% doses positively influenced hair growth in mice, showing effects similar to Minoxidil.

This case study reports a 36-year-old man's fungal infection, identified as Trichosporon inkin, which was treated with shaving and antifungal therapy.

This study found that the topical application of a mixture of Platycladus orientalis leaf extract and α-terpineol promoted hair growth in mice by inducing early anagen transition and increasing growth factor expressions.

This study found that a cream containing 6.0% Stryphnodendron adstringens bark extract effectively reduced terminal hair growth and improved skin conditions in women with excessive terminal hair.

This study suggests that Nepenthes kampotiana Lecomte ethanol extract may promote hair growth and inhibit cell death in models of androgenic alopecia, indicating potential as a treatment option.
