This study found that women with alopecia have significantly lower tensile strength in both dry and wet hair samples compared to controls, indicating increased hair breakability.

In this self-controlled comparative study of 16 women with Female Pattern Hair Loss, MMP® with Minoxidil showed a better response in the parietal-vertex regions in less advanced cases compared to standard Minoxidil treatment, though overall effectiveness was similar.

This study found that both ruxolitinib and tofacitinib were effective in promoting hair regrowth for patients with severe alopecia areata, with no significant difference in efficacy and relapse rate between them, and both were well tolerated throughout the treatment.

This article discusses the complexities of treating hair and scalp disorders in African American patients, emphasizing the importance of understanding their specific hair care practices and the unique impact on quality of life, but reports no new empirical findings.

This review provides a framework for diagnosing acquired scalp alopecias and discusses both non-scarring and scarring types, but reports no new clinical results.

This study used single-cell RNA sequencing to create a detailed atlas of human scalp hair follicles and found that early-stage hair graying involves matrix hair progenitor depletion linked to P53 pathway activation.

In this study, hair density and thickness in nonbalding scalp areas varied with the severity and BASP subtypes of androgenetic alopecia in East Asian men, showing notable decreases in some subtypes.

In this study, dandruff treatment with anti-dandruff shampoos was found to effectively reduce symptoms and enhance emotional wellbeing, indirectly improving daily functioning by alleviating scalp-related emotional distress, though it did not affect self-esteem.

This study found that patients with vitiligo or alopecia areata have higher levels of anxiety and depression compared to healthy individuals, though no significant differences were observed between the two patient groups, highlighting the psychological impact of these dermatological conditions.

This study found that micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) was highly effective for analyzing the cross-sectional geometry of hair fibres, including the medulla in highly curled hair, but less effective than scanning electron microscopy for surface details.

This study found that combining fractional ablative erbium YAG laser with minoxidil led to slightly better dermoscopy scores than minoxidil alone in male patients with moderate to severe androgenetic alopecia, although no significant difference was observed in photography scores between the two groups.

This study found a strong correlation between the Sinclair Scale and cumulative hair thickness density, allowing the estimation of the Sinclair Scale from trichoscopy-derived statistics.

In this study, the combination of ECM-C with microneedle and radiofrequency treatments improved periorbital wrinkles, skin elasticity, and thickness more effectively than ECM-C with microneedles alone, but subjective evaluations showed no significant differences.

This study identified three new genetic loci associated with PCOS and found a similar genetic structure across different diagnostic criteria, suggesting a genetic basis for shared metabolic traits and potential causal links to other conditions.

This study confirmed that porcine platelet-rich plasma could commercially replace fetal bovine serum due to its higher growth factor levels and effectiveness as a hair growth promoter comparable to existing serum.

This study found that placebo groups in split-scalp PRP trials for androgenetic alopecia showed less hair loss compared to whole-head trial placebo groups, likely due to PRP diffusion in split-scalp designs.

This study found that porcine platelet-rich plasma can be a commercially viable replacement for fetal bovine serum with similar effectiveness in promoting human hair follicle cell growth.

This study found that patients with androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata experienced a significant impact on quality of life, with moderate levels of anxiety and depression, and no significant difference in psychiatric comorbidities between the groups.

This study confirmed porcine PRP's commercial viability as a fetal bovine serum replacement, showing higher growth factor levels and stability, without increasing human follicle dermal papilla cell proliferation compared to FBS.

This study observed that both Factor XIIIa+ dermal dendrocytes and microvasculature size decreased with scalp aging and that alopecia changes resembled stress-induced premature senescence.

This study found that women with AIDS had significantly reduced epithelial thickness and more telogen hair follicles on the scalp compared to women without AIDS.

This study identified SFRP2 and PTGDS as potential biomarkers for female pattern hair loss, finding these genes consistently upregulated in bald hair follicles from all 18 patients, which may contribute to understanding the condition's pathogenesis and developing targeted treatments.

This study developed an improved reference genome for the African spiny mouse using long Nanopore sequencing reads, potentially aiding future research into the species' remarkable tissue regeneration capabilities.

This study observed that infections are the most common cause of hair disorders among children visiting clinics, with tinea capitis and pediculosis capitis more prevalent in urban areas, while rural areas showed higher rates of seborrheic dermatitis and alopecia areata.

This study observed that in vitro treatment of male frontotemporal scalp hair follicles with 17-β-estradiol stimulated hair shaft generation and hair matrix keratinocyte proliferation, suggesting potential anagen-prolonging effects.

In this study of a TRPS type I patient, many genes related to keratin and hair development were down-regulated in balding scalp areas, providing new insights into TRPS and hair morphogenesis.

This study found that using a vibration anesthetic device during scalp mesotherapy significantly reduced pain in patients with androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata compared to the non-vibration side.

This study identified 374 eQTLs in scalp hair follicles associated with genes involved in metabolic, mitotic, immune processes, and responses to steroid hormones, contributing insights into genetic variation and hair traits.

In this study conducted at a tertiary center in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, researchers evaluated pediatric hair and scalp disorders, finding that seborrheic dermatitis was the most common issue, particularly in infants, followed by bacterial and fungal infections among 545 patients under 18 years old.

In this retrospective chart review at a dermatology clinic in Lagos, Nigeria, researchers reported that scalp hair loss was identified in 3.9% of cases, with alopecia areata as the most common type, predominantly affecting females and showing a mostly patchy pattern.
