research Parkinson's Disease and Skin Disorders: Non-Iatrogenic and Iatrogenic Connections
Parkinson's disease is linked to skin disorders and skin cells help in studying the disease.
research Neural Mechanisms of Hair Growth Control
Nerves and chemicals in the body can affect hair growth and loss.
research Hair Anatomy for the Clinician
Understanding hair follicle anatomy helps diagnose hair disorders.
research The Histopathology of Noncicatricial Alopecia
Different types of hair loss have unique features under a microscope, but a doctor's exam is important for accurate diagnosis.
research The Transverse Anatomy of Androgenic Alopecia
The study found that horizontal sections of scalp biopsies are better for analyzing hair loss, showing fewer hairs and more fine hairs in balding areas.
research Vertical and Transverse Sections of Alopecia Biopsy Specimens: Combining the Two to Maximize Diagnostic Yield
Using both vertical and transverse sections for alopecia biopsies improves diagnosis without extra cost.
research The Ludwig Pattern of Androgenetic Alopecia Is Due to a Hierarchy of Androgen Sensitivity Within Follicular Units That Leads to Selective Miniaturization and a Reduction in the Number of Terminal Hairs Per Follicular Unit
Ludwig pattern hair loss in women results from varying sensitivity in hair follicles, causing fewer visible hairs.
research Viable Terminal Scalp Hair Follicles Are Necessary and Sufficient for Clinical Efficacy of Finasteride in Male Pattern Hair Loss
Finasteride works for hair loss by maintaining existing hair follicles, not reversing miniaturization.
research A Comparison of Vertical Versus Transverse Sections in the Evaluation of Alopecia Biopsy Specimens
Using both vertical and transverse sections gives a better diagnosis of alopecia than using one method alone.
research Vertical vs. Transverse Sections in Alopecia Biopsy Diagnosis
Both vertical and transverse sections are useful for diagnosing alopecia, but using both methods together is best.
research Transverse Sections for Diagnosis of Alopecia?
Vertical sections are better than horizontal sections for diagnosing alopecia.
research Vertical vs. Transverse Sections of Scalp Biopsy Specimens: A Pilot Study on the Comparison of the Diagnostic Value of Two Techniques in Alopecia
Transverse scalp sections are better for diagnosing non-scarring hair loss, while vertical sections are better for a specific scarring hair loss called lichen planopilaris.
research Diagnostic Accuracy Measures for Vertical and Transverse Scalp Biopsies in Cicatricial and Non-Cicatricial Alopecias
Transverse scalp biopsies are more accurate for diagnosing non-cicatricial alopecia, but examining both types is best for accuracy.
research Evidence from a Humanized Mouse Model of Androgenetic Alopecia That Platelet-Rich Plasma Stimulates Hair Regrowth, Hair Shaft Diameter, and Vellus-to-Terminal Hair Reconversion In Vivo
PRP helps hair regrowth and thickness.
research Maintenance of Optimized Hair Growth from Viable Terminal Scalp Hair Follicles at Baseline with Oral Finasteride in Male Pattern Hair Loss and First Evidence of a Drug Dependency and a Post-Finasteride Rebound Effect
Finasteride helps hair growth but stopping it causes faster hair loss.
research Penetration Profile of Microspheres in Follicular Targeting of Terminal Hair Follicles
Microspheres about 1.5 micrometers in size can best penetrate hair follicles, potentially reaching important stem cells.
research A Study of the Histopathological Features of Alopecias on Transverse Sections of Scalp Biopsies
Transverse scalp biopsy sections help diagnose different alopecias by showing hair follicle details and inflammation patterns.
research Quantitative Evaluation in Transverse Histological Sections of the Scalp
The study found average numbers for different types of hair follicles in the scalp and observed differences between men and women, suggesting reasons for more common hair shedding in women.
research Histology of the Human Hair Follicle
Understanding hair follicle structure is key for treating hair disorders and could help develop new treatments.
research Hair Follicle Changes Following Intense Pulsed Light Axillary Hair Reduction: Histometrical, Histological, and Immunohistochemical Evaluation
Intense pulsed light treatment effectively reduces underarm hair by making hair follicles smaller and extending their resting phase.
research Hair Counts from Normal Scalp Biopsy in Taiwan
The conclusion is that normal scalp hair counts for Taiwanese people were established, showing age-related differences but not sex or scalp location differences.
research Clinical, Trichoscopic, and Histopathologic Characteristics of Patients with Alopecia and Hypothyroidism: An Observational Study
Hypothyroidism patients with hair loss typically have thinning hair, smaller hair follicles, and normal hair shedding.
research Senescent Alopecia (Senile Alopecia or Senescent Balding)
Senescent alopecia is a type of hair loss that occurs after age 50, not caused by genetics, and involves a gradual thinning of hair without significant inflammation.
research Abstracts from the Symposium on the Pathophysiology of Hair Growth Organized by the Institute of Dermatology at the Royal Society of Medicine, 29 October 1987
The symposium concluded that hair growth involves complex processes, including the hair follicle life cycle, the role of the dermal papilla, hair strength, pigmentation, and the impact of diseases and treatments like minoxidil on hair and skin.
research Epidemiology, Diagnosis, and Management of Hirsutism: A Consensus Statement by the Androgen Excess and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Society
Experts recommend using evidence-based methods to diagnose and treat hirsutism, focusing on symptoms and underlying causes.
research Chronic Telogen Effluvium: Increased Scalp Hair Shedding in Middle-Aged Women
Middle-aged women with chronic telogen effluvium experience increased hair shedding but usually don't get significantly thinner hair.
research Measuring Reversal of Hair Miniaturization in Androgenetic Alopecia by Follicular Counts in Horizontal Sections of Serial Scalp Biopsies: Results of Finasteride 1mg Treatment of Men and Postmenopausal Women
Finasteride 1mg helps reverse hair miniaturization in men and postmenopausal women.
research The Reliability of Horizontally Sectioned Scalp Biopsies in the Diagnosis of Chronic Diffuse Telogen Hair Loss in Women
