This consensus from 22 Spanish dermatologists recommends using a multimodal therapy starting with oral dutasteride, combined with topical and/or intralesional agents, and adding hydroxychloroquine if inflammation persists, to manage frontal fibrosing alopecia due to its irreversible hair loss and lack of specific approved treatments.

In this study, the addition of topical latanoprost to betamethasone treatment improved the therapeutic efficacy for patients with patchy alopecia areata, showing more significant hair regrowth compared to minoxidil alone and enhanced outcomes without adverse effects.

This study highlights age and sex as key factors influencing scalp parameters, thereby affecting hair health and suggesting they should be considered in developing hair care strategies.

This study found that extracts from Hom Thong banana peels, rich in phenolic compounds, may inhibit melanin production in human and mouse melanoma cells, showing potential as anti-melanogenic agents comparable to standard treatments like arbutin and kojic acid.

This study reports that women with polycystic ovary syndrome, especially those with a hyperandrogenic pattern, are at a higher risk for cardiovascular disease compared to other PCOS patients, likely due to related metabolic comorbidities.

This meta-analysis reports that 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors are associated with a 31% increased risk of depression, with varying outcomes depending on the comparator group, highlighting significant heterogeneity across studies.

This study found that a hair serum containing Acanthus ebracteatus extract improved hair regrowth in men with androgenic alopecia, increasing hair count and density of anagen hairs over a 6-month period, with combination treatments showing early effectiveness.

This study found that oral spironolactone 100 mg daily for 24 weeks improved terminal hair counts and diameters in premenopausal women with female pattern hair loss when used alongside minoxidil, despite a higher incidence of menstrual irregularities.

This study found that progesterone levels were higher and increased significantly throughout pregnancy, contrasting with stable levels in non-pregnant women.

In this study, 0.2 mg dutasteride significantly improved hair growth in men with androgenetic alopecia compared to placebo over 24 weeks, showing similar efficacy to the higher 0.5 mg dose with a favorable safety profile.

This study found that for patients with moderate-to-severe chronic hand eczema, combining fractional CO2 laser with halometasone cream was more effective than using halometasone cream alone, with a higher treatment success rate and fewer relapses, though skin pigmentation was a common side effect.

This study found that intradermal injections of platelet-rich plasma were equally safe and effective for treating androgenetic alopecia, with higher platelet numbers possibly enhancing hair density and follicle diameter.

This study did not report conclusive results on whether a higher dose of platelets in platelet-rich plasma treatment impacts hair density, emphasizing the need for further evaluation of the trial details.

In this study, the addition of a topical gel containing growth-factor mimicking oligopeptides and other ingredients showed improved efficacy in subjects with androgenic alopecia using minoxidil or finasteride compared to drug treatment alone.

This study found that in immunodeficient mice lacking T cells, certain innate lymphoid cell subsets increased and influenced the hair growth cycle, with specific ILC subsets shown to promote anagen, the active phase of hair growth.

This systematic review concluded that dutasteride was more effective than finasteride in increasing hair count for treating androgenetic alopecia in both males and females, with comparable side effects.

This review examines emerging biomaterial strategies designed to support both neural regeneration and cutaneous wound healing, emphasizing their potential to improve sensory function through mechanisms like axonal regrowth and vascular network formation, while noting the need for standardized assessments and clinically translatable designs.

This study observed that improving male lower urinary tract symptoms was associated with a lower risk of death, with a 1-point improvement in symptoms leading to a 4% reduction in mortality risk.

In this study, the researchers used machine learning techniques on an image dataset to diagnose Alopecia Areata, achieving a maximum accuracy of 98.3%.

The guideline provides healthcare professionals in South Africa with instructions for comprehensive, multidisciplinary gender-affirming care, including HIV prevention and treatment for transgender and gender diverse individuals.

In this systematic review, the authors found that hair loss in women causes significant psychological distress, with supportive interventions like cognitive behavioral therapy and cosmetic solutions helping to reduce anxiety, improve coping, and enhance quality of life.

This study found that at pH 9.0, CYS penetrated less and caused less damage to virgin human hair than TG because it barely reached the cortex region.

In this study, a mixed-methods survey of 357 balding men revealed that baldness is structurally stigmatized, with many participants experiencing distress and using treatments to combat it; others resisted stigma and expressed minimal distress.

This study reported that the tested hair lotion significantly reduced hair loss and accelerated recovery in women with acute telogen effluvium compared to a mild shampoo alone.

This study introduced a pH-responsive polymeric wound dressing that enhances healing in chronic wounds by changing shape and drug delivery based on wound pH, achieving a 94.88% healing rate in diabetic mice by day 14.

This research underscores the critical need to recognize and study how the fear or reality of hair loss profoundly influences patients' medical decisions, including refusing cancer treatments or altering reproductive plans.

This study suggests that 20 vital medicinal herbs may exert therapeutic effects on alopecia by regulating specific target genes and proteins, offering insights into their novel mechanisms distinct from conventional drugs.

This study found that control of Demodex mite colonization in mice required skin ILC2s and IL-13, highlighting their role in maintaining HF integrity and limiting mite overgrowth.

This study found that the cocrystal of mycophenolic acid with isonicotinamide significantly improved solubility and dissolution rate, while two other cocrystals showed decreased performance in these areas.

This study reported that supplementing rat hair follicle stem cells with chick embryo extract enhanced their migration and proliferation, possibly promoting differentiation toward Schwann cells.
