This study found that trichoscopy is useful for diagnosing androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata, and the severity of androgenetic alopecia can be assessed with this method.

Rabbit hair fibers are similar to wool and have a hollow center like feathers.

This review outlines the evolution of hair follicle engineering and its foundational discoveries, but reports no new experimental results.

This review highlights the need for inclusive dermatology practices to address variations in skin conditions globally by incorporating tools like AI, teledermatology, and culturally competent education.

This review highlights cellulose-based materials' potential in skin disease treatments, emphasizing their smart, responsive design for various conditions, with insights into their roles in wound healing, infection prevention, and wearable monitoring.

In this study, researchers sequenced the KRT71 gene in 102 dromedary camels to find genetic polymorphisms linked to hair shape, identifying 17 variants but none that fully explained hair shape variations, suggesting other genes may also play a role.

Using synchrotron X-ray imaging, this study mapped the complex innervation of male rat vibrissa follicles, revealing distinct types of myelinated afferent neurons and patterns of axonal organization that may inform sensory processing in the brainstem.

This study found that lipid supplementation can enhance hair growth by promoting trichogenic gene expression and proliferation of human dermal papilla cells, suggesting lipids as a potential therapeutic target for treating hair loss through HIF-1 signaling pathways.

This study found that using planimetric surface area measurement might be a useful supplementary method to improve the accuracy of SALT scoring in alopecia areata, particularly for scores S1 to S3.

This study describes androgenetic alopecia as a common non-scarring hair loss condition primarily influenced by genetic factors and androgen sensitivity, notably impacting psychosocial well-being, especially in females and younger males seeking treatment.

This study found that comma hairs are a distinctive feature of tinea capitis caused by Microsporum canis, distinguishing it from alopecia areata, which is characterized by exclamation mark hairs.

Feathers become harder as they develop due to a change in keratin type.

This case study describes a 40-year-old man diagnosed with pilotropic mycosis fungoides, a form of folliculotropic cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of hair follicles and eccrine glands.

This study found that MAP-2 is intensely expressed in the companion layer of the hair follicle, suggesting its potential importance to follicle integrity and possible involvement in some types of alopecia.

In this study, trichocytes were shown to have potential for alternative differentiation, with mesenchymal cell influences playing a critical role in determining this process.

In this study, researchers reported two cases of the rare and benign follicular tumor called panfolliculoma, highlighting its differentiation across all hair follicle components, which is distinct from similar conditions like trichofolliculoma.

This article reviews monilethrix, a rare genetic hair disorder causing brittle hair and alopecia, and emphasizes the need for clinical diagnosis and characteristic tricoscopic findings.

This review highlights jojoba oil's unique composition and its growing therapeutic applications, noting its antioxidant, anti-acne, antidiabetic, and antibacterial properties, as well as its use in various pharmaceutical formulations.

This review discusses the concept and treatment of diffuse hair loss, known as Intithār al-Sha‘r, in the Unani system, drawing from classical Unani literature without reporting new clinical results.

This study developed a new crystallization method using solid solution formation to purify finasteride by effectively removing contamination with dihydrofinasteride.

This review discusses various adverse drug reactions affecting hair, such as hair loss, hypertrichosis, and color changes, and emphasizes their generally reversible nature if the causative drug is discontinued.

This case study describes a 54-year-old woman with a rare pattern of asymmetrical hair loss resembling androgenetic alopecia, alongside sparse body hair and near absence of eyebrows and eyelashes, while other ectodermal features were normal.

Two siblings have a rare genetic condition causing curly, coarse hair.

The study found that the Marangoni effect causes the uneven wetting of surfactant-coated hair due to the surfactant moving into the water.

This review reports that cubosomes, used as drug nanocarriers in topical treatments, offer potential benefits for managing skin and eye diseases by improving bioadhesion, retention, and sustained release compared to conventional formulations, but also face manufacturing and biological challenges for effective clinical outcomes.

Dermoscopy greatly improves melanoma diagnosis and reduces unneeded surgeries.

This review discusses the regenerative potential of hair follicle stem cell populations and current approaches to reconstructing folliculogenesis for alopecia therapy, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, 75% of alopecia areata patients showed improvement after treatment with 35% trichloroacetic acid, leading the researchers to conclude it is a safe and effective option for treating this condition.

This study observed that adherence to finasteride treatment in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia at a clinic in Tepic Nayarit had not been previously evaluated in Mexico.

In this study, tofacitinib treatment in a male patient with alopecia areata led to significant hair regrowth and improvement in nail dystrophy symptoms, restoring finger function within 10 months.
