This study reports that most cases of frontal fibrosing alopecia did not show significant improvement with available treatments, and effective management remains unproven.

This article reviews 25 years of hair restoration advancements, highlighting the shift towards techniques that emphasize naturalness and undetectability, and reports no new research findings.

This review assessed the effectiveness of various treatments for frontal fibrosing alopecia and found that intralesional steroids and 5α-reductase inhibitors showed the most positive outcomes in slowing or halting hair loss, though the lack of placebo-controlled studies and consistent outcome measures limits definitive conclusions.

This source reports that a comprehensive review of LSS gene variant phenotypes enhances understanding of congenital hypotrichosis 14 and could guide more precise genetic counseling and future research into disease mechanisms and potential therapies.

This study reported significant short-term scalp hair regrowth and increased density in a 4-year-old with Marie Unna hereditary hypotrichosis following topical 5% minoxidil treatment, suggesting its potential benefit in this condition.

This case study reported that 5% minoxidil solution effectively promoted hair growth and resulted in generalized hypertrichosis in a 7-year-old with Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome type I.

In this study, researchers identified a rare form of hereditary hypotrichosis linked to mutations in the LSS gene, which affects cholesterol biosynthesis and is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner.

This case report details the diagnosis of monilethrix in a 4-year-old boy, characterized by brittle hair and specific dermoscopic findings, and highlights the condition's hereditary nature and management through avoiding mechanical hair damage.

This report describes a case of trichodysplasia spinulosa in a renal transplant patient, characterized by unique dermatoscopic features and highlighting the need for timely diagnosis.

This case report describes a rare genetic mutation causing congenital hypotrichosis, where a 2-year-old girl showed some improvement in hair growth with topical minoxidil treatment, supporting its potential use for this condition.

This study provides definitive evidence that a homozygous mutation in the DSC3 gene causes skin fragility and hypotrichosis in humans.

This study reports that a homozygous A1103G mutation in DSG 4 is responsible for localized autosomal recessive hypotrichosis in a 2-year-old Chinese girl, resulting in reduced DSG 4 expression and hair defects.

This case report describes a 4-year-old girl with hypotrichosis and juvenile macular dystrophy, linked to mutations in the cadherin 3 gene affecting P-cadherin expression.

This case report details a 73-year-old woman with systemic sarcoidosis, whose scalp biopsy revealed features consistent with both sarcoidosis and frontal fibrosing alopecia, emphasizing the necessity of biopsy in complex alopecia diagnoses.

This case report describes a rare instance of Olmsted syndrome with hypotrichosis in a 5-year-old boy, noting mild improvement in symptoms following treatment with oral acitretin and other interventions.

The ZIP13 variant is linked to abnormal hair quality.

This study analyzed patients with X-linked dominant chondrodysplasia punctata and identified novel mutations in the emopamil-binding protein gene, highlighting the need for genetic testing alongside biochemical analysis for accurate diagnosis.

This case report presents a patient with woolly hair and associated symptoms, including keratosis pilaris, nail dystrophy, increased interdental spaces, and recurrent bullous impetigo, observing a combination not previously reported.

This study describes a genetic mutation in the desmoglein 4 gene linked to localized autosomal recessive hypotrichosis in Pakistani families, showing similarities to animal models with similar hair loss conditions.

This case report describes a rare autosomal dominant hair shaft disorder, monilethrix, observed in three consecutive generations of a family, with gradual improvement noted with age.

This case report describes a young man with rapidly progressive cicatricial alopecia that shows features overlapping several other types, suggesting these conditions may exist on a spectrum.

This study describes a family where a TP63 mutation was linked with prominent alopecia and mild ectodermal dysplasia features.

This study developed and analyzed a mathematical model for alopecia areata involving interactions among immune cells and cytokines, establishing conditions under which hairless patches can become stable and pervasive, particularly with certain biological rate levels and chemotactic sensitivities.

This case report describes a 17-year-old patient diagnosed with Netherton syndrome, characterized by pruritic dry skin, short brittle hair, and elevated IgE levels, treated with antihistamines and emollients.

This study identified compound heterozygous mutations, c.1101del and c.736 T > A, in the LIPH gene responsible for causing autosomal recessive woolly hair in a child, with c.1101del being a novel frameshift mutation.

This study described a case where both alopecia universalis and Crohn's ileitis in a 23-year-old man showed remarkable improvement with the JAK1 inhibitor upadacitinib, highlighting its potential as a treatment for patients with concurrent conditions.

This article discusses the clinical features and treatment options for common types of hair loss in women and reports no new clinical results.
