This review summarizes preclinical and clinical information on herbal products for hair loss treatment, highlighting their mechanisms, follicular penetration, and potential side effects, suggesting they may offer alternatives to synthetic drugs with fewer side effects.

This article discusses the surgical technique of hair transplantation in women and offers insights on postoperative care and planning for improved patient outcomes, without presenting new clinical findings.

In this case report, the authors describe a child with treatment-resistant alopecia areata who successfully responded to leflunomide and anthralin, proposing this combination as a potentially cost-effective alternative for managing recalcitrant cases by possibly inhibiting the JAK/STAT pathway.

In this exploratory study, researchers found slightly increased levels of inflammatory markers in scalp skin affected by androgenetic alopecia, suggesting differential gene expression involved in hair cycle and keratin production.

A toddler who accidentally swallowed hair growth medicine experienced serious heart-related side effects but recovered after hospital treatment.

Higher levels of certain nerve-related proteins are linked to hair loss in women with scalp pain.

This article reports the first documented cases of Marie-Unna hereditary hypotrichosis in Egypt, highlighting the variability of genetic mutations in this rare form of congenital hair loss.

This review summarizes recent advancements in follicular targeting for drug delivery via hair follicles and calls for pilot studies in humans to explore potential clinical applications.

This review concluded that oral finasteride for men and topical minoxidil for both genders have the most evidence supporting their effectiveness and safety for treating androgenetic alopecia.
