This chapter describes two simple, noninvasive methods — the pull test and modified wash test — which can diagnose and assess the severity of female hair loss, including conditions like telogen effluvium and androgenetic alopecia.

In this study, patients using the digitally enabled platform Keeps for male pattern hair loss treatment reported positive health outcomes, with 81% experiencing hair regrowth or ceasing hair loss after six months.

This review discusses the role of dermal sheath cells in hair follicle regeneration, suggesting they show potential for treating pattern hair loss, but emphasizes the need for further human studies.

This study suggests that changes in expressed transcripts and splice isoforms may explain the transition from curly to straight fleece in Chinese Tan sheep as they age.

This study found that cortisol concentrations were significantly higher in hair samples with follicles compared to those without, suggesting potential confounding in stress assessments using different hair sampling methods.

This review discusses the interactions between immune cells and the skin epithelium and their impact on maintaining barrier function, emphasizing the potential to enhance epithelial barrier function in inflammatory diseases.

This review examines the dysregulation of innate immune barriers in the early stages of hidradenitis suppurativa and calls for further research on the role of the hair follicle and immune responses, but reports no new results.

This review highlights that various commonly prescribed medications for chronic conditions may impact male fertility by affecting hormone secretion, sperm production, ejaculation, erectile function, and libido, although conclusive evidence is limited to specific drug groups.

In this case series, the authors reported that postmenopausal hyperandrogenism should be carefully evaluated to diagnose potential androgen-secreting tumors, with Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors identified as a common cause.

This paper discusses four rare causes of hyperandrogenism in women, emphasizing the importance of detailed biochemical testing and invasive diagnostic tools when imaging fails to identify ovarian tumors.
