In this study, a computer-aided imaging system accurately measured the width of balding areas in female pattern hair loss, correlating strongly with clinical staging severity.

This study developed and validated a comprehensive method using mass spectrometry to profile sex (pro)hormones in plasma, with results showing reliable calibration and detection of 31 analytes in samples from pre- and postmenopausal women and men, while addressing potential over- or underestimations in analyte concentrations.

In this study, researchers found that massively parallel sequencing of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) can improve information recovery from forensic samples, with successful full region amplification possible from as few as 2,000 mtDNA copies, albeit with variability in heteroplasmy among hair samples from the same donor.

This article reviews analysis techniques in LC-MS/MS and discusses the potential use of a novel in-sample calibration curve method, but reports no new experimental results.

This study demonstrated that using finasteride impurity as a non-isotopically labeled internal standard in paper spray ionization–mass spectrometry can effectively and efficiently measure finasteride tablet dissolution, achieving results comparable to high-performance liquid chromatography.

This correspondence reported significant variability between quantitative PCR and bDNA assays for measuring Hepatitis C virus RNA in high-titer specimens, challenging the reliability of the Chiron assay.

This study suggests that holes found in mature hair fibers may be linked to daily hair care actions and the removal of extractable substances.

This review examines the use of computer vision techniques, specifically deep learning architectures and image processing algorithms, for detecting and assessing skin conditions like vitiligo and dermatitis, and highlights the need for disease-specific datasets to improve automated diagnostic tools in dermatology.

In this study, the researchers developed a computer-aided imaging system to quantitatively measure baldness in Chinese women with female pattern hair loss, potentially improving the precision of severity evaluation compared to traditional scales.

This review discusses advanced techniques for investigating stem cell fate at the single-cell level, including lineage tracing, time-lapse imaging, and molecular profiling, but reports no new research results.

The conclusion is that small hair follicles cause baldness in macaques, and treatments like antiandrogens and minoxidil can prevent hair loss and promote regrowth.

In this study, topical 2% minoxidil did not significantly improve hair density measures in men with male pattern baldness, although there was no deterioration, suggesting a potential prophylactic effect.

In this study, researchers found that as androgenetic alopecia severity increased, the hair follicle matrix and dermal papilla's volume and cell nuclei number decreased, especially in the papilla.

This study found that low-level laser therapy increased the expression of proteins in dermal papilla tissues, suggesting it promotes hair growth in male androgenetic alopecia patients.

This study established a rapid and accurate ultra-performance liquid chromatographic method for chemical fingerprinting and analyzing Platycladi cacumen, effectively distinguishing batches based on geographical and climatic conditions.

This study found that spironolactone at doses of 75 or 100 mg per day did not improve hair density after six months in women with female pattern hair loss, suggesting that higher doses may be necessary.

This study suggests that both age and photoexposure may decrease maximum viable epidermis thickness and impact the dermal-epidermal junction in women with Fitzpatrick skin types II-III.

This study found that Follicular Maps, derived from trichoscopic images, remained consistent over time and unaffected by hair cycling or noncicatricial alopecia, offering a precise tool for diagnosing and monitoring hair and scalp conditions.

This study found that females with androgenic alopecia experienced greater improvements in hair density after cosmetic treatments compared to males, in a cohort stratified by age and gender.

This study found that a hair tonic increased hair growth and reduced resting hair ratios in men with alopecia.

In this study, researchers evaluated deep learning methods for diagnosing Alopecia Areata and found that a modified Inception-Resnet-v2 model achieved a high validation accuracy of 97.94% and loss of 10.4%, suggesting it as an effective tool for classifying alopecia-affected hair.

This study found that scalp thickness and hair follicle depth were reduced in individuals with androgenetic alopecia, and MRI signal intensity was higher compared to those without the condition.

Automated image analysis helps diagnose and monitor alopecia areata by efficiently measuring hair follicles.

This study found that objective measurements of hair growth, such as hair growth rate and diameter, can provide a more accurate evaluation of androgenic alopecia than subjective grading alone.

In this observational study, hair density was found to vary with age, as measured in subjects from a dermatology outpatient department, with males showing a mean unit density of 104.78 and females 108.36.

This study developed a quantitative method using SDS-PAGE and MALDI-TOF mass spectroscopy to accurately determine animal species from hair fibers, validated against standard samples and optical microscopy.

In this study, commercial synthetic braiding hair samples from Kenya were analyzed, revealing that while no Ammonium Thioglycolate was detected, significant formaldehyde contamination was present, with varying concentrations throughout the hair strands, potentially impacting consumer safety.

This review outlines the use of quantitative imaging techniques in monitoring tendon response to platelet-rich plasma treatment for chronic tendinopathy and reports that these methods may aid in tailoring PRP protocols.

This study reports that women with hair loss had significantly lower levels of several biomarkers, including hemoglobin, iron, copper, selenium, vitamin D, vitamin B12, folate, and thyroid hormones, compared to healthy controls.
