This study found that among 161 men with androgenic alopecia and "M"-shaped hairlines, sleeping position influenced the asymmetry of hairline recession, while the direction of combing showed no significant effect.

This study found that PRP may increase hair density in breast cancer survivors with EIA or pCIA, but improvements did not differ statistically between treated and untreated sides.

In this randomized trial, oral supplementation with Serenoa repens, pumpkin seed extracts, and cysteine significantly improved the clinical effectiveness of topical 5% minoxidil lotion for treating androgenic alopecia in men and women compared to minoxidil alone, with both treatments being well tolerated.

This study found mixed evidence linking traction hairstyles, previous pregnancies, chemical hair relaxers, and several comorbidities to an increased risk of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in Black women.

Image analysis can effectively identify changes in scalps affected by chemotherapy-induced hair loss.

This study found that lupus discoid lesions on the scalp are more common in females and are associated with a higher incidence of other autoimmune diseases compared to lesions in other areas.

In this study, both excimer light and low level light therapy were found to be safe and effective for treating alopecia areata, with excimer light showing better and more sustained improvement.

This study found that younger age and preexisting acne on the scalp, face, and neck may increase the risk of developing folliculitis after hair restoration surgery, but the overall prognosis for hair growth is generally positive.

In this study, both hair transplantation and skin expansion were found effective for treating cicatricial alopecia, with transplantation being preferable for adults with smaller areas and skin expansion suited to younger patients with larger areas.

This review discusses novel treatments for androgenetic alopecia, including therapies like platelet-rich plasma and adipose-derived stem cells, and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that the gelatinous minoxidil 1% shampoo demonstrated thixotropic properties and mechanical stability, suggesting predictable long-term consistency and effective distribution on the scalp.

This study found that trichodynia was significantly more common in patients with Telogen Effluvium and Alopecia Areata, and anxiety frequently accompanied trichodynia in these conditions.

This study found that using 3% hydrogen peroxide for surgical wound care during hair restoration surgery did not significantly impact the survival rate of hair grafts compared to normal saline.

This study suggests that hair transplantation to new nonscalp sites affects the growth and survival rates of transplanted hairs, while the diameter remains unchanged.

Rubbing finasteride on the scalp helps with hair loss.

In this study, finasteride use in men with androgenetic alopecia was not associated with increased reports of sexual dysfunction compared to non-users, suggesting that finasteride does not cause sexual dysfunction in this context.

In this viewpoint, researchers discussed the possible role of the developmental origin of scalp dermis in influencing the specific pattern of hair follicle miniaturization seen in male pattern hair loss, noting that frontal follicles are more susceptible while occipital follicles remain largely terminal.

This article presents a comprehensive guide for classifying human hair follicle cycle stages in vivo using scalp xenografts on immunocompromised mice, offering valuable resources for researchers in the field.

This study identified two types of calcium in human scalp hair, with one type highly variable between individuals, potentially impacting the analysis of environmental and medical factors related to hair calcium.

In this study, researchers found that a low-cost USB dermoscope can effectively detect microscopic hair changes associated with early female pattern hair loss, making it a useful tool for diagnosis even without expensive equipment or programs.

This study introduces a hypothesis that elevated DHT at puberty may cause chronic thermal stress in specific scalp areas, potentially explaining Androgenetic Alopecia characteristics and guiding future research.

This paper discusses two preclinical models for studying alopecia areata and finds that testing new therapeutic agents should involve both the C3H/HeJ mouse model and the humanized mouse model for comprehensive insights.

Proteins like aPKC and PDGF-AA, substances like adenosine and ATP, and adipose-derived stem cells all play important roles in hair growth and health, and could potentially be used to treat hair loss and skin conditions.

This study found that intermediate hair follicles respond to testosterone by growing, but do not respond to finasteride, suggesting they may provide a novel and clinically relevant model for hair growth research.

This study, conducted among Egyptians, found a borderline significant association between the Stul polymorphism of the androgen receptor gene and androgenetic alopecia in males, with higher androgen receptor expression in balding scalp areas.

This meta-analysis found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome have over a 2.5-fold higher risk of depression compared to healthy women.

This study undertook a retrospective chart review to examine the link between the severity of female pattern hair loss and abnormal cholesterol levels in patients from a specialty alopecia clinic, but results are not reported.

This study found that SLE patients with hair loss exhibited significant differences in the size and number of sebaceous glands compared to those without hair loss, but showed no histopathological differences between affected and unaffected scalp areas.

This review discusses the unique characteristics and disorders of Asian hair, emphasizing the need for more comprehensive studies in this area.

This review discusses follicular and scarring disorders in skin of color and highlights the need for patient education and tailored therapeutic strategies, but does not report new clinical findings.
