This study suggests that 5AR inhibitors may reverse decreased expression of growth factor genes in human hair follicles under testosterone stimulation, indicating involvement of type I 5AR in hair growth.

This study found that videodermoscopy enhances diagnostic accuracy for scalp and hair disorders beyond simple clinical inspection and reveals novel disease features that could improve clinical understanding.

This review discusses the dermoscopic features of common hair and scalp disorders and reports no new clinical results, aiming to assist dermatologists in diagnosing conditions like tinea capitis and alopecia areata.

This article discusses the development of an evidence-based guideline for treating androgenetic alopecia and reports no new research results.

This study observed that frontal fibrosing alopecia in postmenopausal women involves selective follicular inflammation, and finasteride treatment may slow disease progression, suggesting a potential androgen-related component.

This guideline reviews the diagnosis of androgenetic alopecia and offers expert consensus recommendations tailored to males, females, and adolescents, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that videodermoscopy reveals distinct dermoscopic features in patients with alopecia areata incognita, aiding in biopsy decisions by identifying the appropriate sampling area and potentially avoiding unnecessary procedures.

Some drugs can cause hair loss or increase hair growth, but these effects are usually reversible when the drug is stopped.

In this study, clobetasol propionate 0.05% ointment was found to induce hair regrowth in 28.5% of patients with severe alopecia areata under occlusive conditions, though long-term benefit was limited to 17.8%.

This guideline review by the European Dermatology Forum evaluates current treatments for androgenetic alopecia but reports no new research findings, aiming to assist dermatologists in selecting safe and effective therapies.

This review discusses the potential role of vitamins and minerals in managing non-scarring alopecia but reports no clinical results; the authors advocate for further controlled trials to explore these relationships.

This study found that finasteride increases anagen hair growth in men with androgenetic alopecia.

In this study, clobetasol propionate foam demonstrated effectiveness and good patient compliance as a safe topical treatment for moderate to severe alopecia areata, with significant hair regrowth compared to placebo.

Minoxidil is the only FDA-approved topical drug for treating male or female pattern hair loss, and other medications like finasteride and dutasteride can also increase hair growth.

This study observed that 62% of premenopausal women with female pattern hair loss reported improvement when treated with oral finasteride and an oral contraceptive containing drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol.

This study identified specific gene expression profiles during the intestinal regeneration of sea cucumbers, highlighting potential novel genes and advancing the understanding of regenerative biology in echinoderms.

This study found that peripilar signs on the scalp are linked to perifollicular lymphocytic infiltrates in early androgenetic alopecia, detectable even in areas with high hair density.

This study found that spironolactone, flutamide, and finasteride are similarly effective in reducing hair diameter and Ferriman-Gallwey scores in women with hirsutism over a 6-month treatment period.

This review examines dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis, highlighting the role of Malassezia yeasts in inflammation and hyper-proliferation, and reports no new clinical findings.

This article reviews drug-induced hair changes, highlighting that while many drugs are occasionally linked to hair loss, this connection has been conclusively established for only a few, and such hair loss is typically reversible.

This review discusses clinical methods for diagnosing alopecia and examines current treatments for both cicatricial and noncicatricial forms but provides no new clinical results.

This study found that videodermoscopy can help diagnose nailbed psoriasis by revealing distinctive hyponychial capillary patterns, which correlated with disease severity and response to treatment.

This study found that finasteride effectively reduced hirsutism in women during 12 months of treatment, with some effects persisting in the majority after stopping the medication.

In this case series, researchers observed androgenetic alopecia in 20 prepubertal children with a strong genetic predisposition, despite the condition typically not occurring before puberty.

This review discusses trichoscopy as a noninvasive, effective technique for diagnosing various hair loss conditions and monitoring treatment, highlighting its potential to reduce scalp biopsy necessity.

This paper discusses the use of dermatoscopy as a fast, noninvasive technique for diagnosing hair shaft disorders and reports no new results; the authors highlight its advantages over traditional microscopy methods.

This case report describes two patients with trichotillomania who were successfully treated with N-acetylcysteine, suggesting it as a potential new management option, though further studies are needed.

This article reports a case where the IOP-lowering drug bimatoprost was associated with eyelash hypertrichosis.

This study found that a peripilar white gray halo around hair emergence is a highly specific and sensitive dermatoscopic feature for diagnosing central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in African American patients with mild central thinning.

Isolated long hairs at the original hairline can help diagnose Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia.
