This study used atomic force microscopy to identify significant morphological differences in hair from patients with lichen planopilaris compared to healthy controls, noting more scratches, uneven edges, and pitted scales in affected hair, which may aid future research on the condition.

In this study, researchers explored the link between COVID-19 and hair loss, finding that the virus can cause hair shedding in up to 20% of patients, potentially due to multiple factors including inflammation and psychological stress.

This review summarizes existing knowledge on androgenetic alopecia, including its epidemiology, pathophysiology, and management, but presents no new research findings.

This study found that a hair tonic containing 1% teak leaf extract significantly increased hair growth and user satisfaction in men with androgenic alopecia after 24 weeks, without causing adverse effects, and was comparable to the standard treatment, minoxidil.

In this randomized controlled trial involving breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, this study investigated the efficacy of low-level light therapy for preventing hair loss, measuring outcomes like hair count and patient quality of life, but the abstract does not report specific results.

This prospective randomized controlled trial found that combining platelet-rich plasma plus basic fibroblast growth factor injections with topical minoxidil significantly improves hair count and growth rate in androgenetic alopecia patients compared to either treatment alone.

This correspondence discusses the diagnostic criteria for frontal fibrosing alopecia but reports no new research findings, agreeing with many previously suggested criteria.

A woman with frontal fibrosing alopecia experienced unusual hair growth after using a specific topical lotion.

The man's occipital hair loss was due to temporal triangular alopecia, not alopecia areata.

This case report describes alopecia universalis-like hair loss occurring in two patients with cutaneous T cell lymphoma, providing clinical, dermoscopic, and pathologic features to help differentiate it from alopecia areata universalis.

This study observed a significant association between smoking and an increased risk of hair loss, including male pattern baldness, and highlights the need for interventions at individual, community, and national levels to address smoking-related hair loss.

This article reviews recent advances and therapeutic approaches in treating alopecia areata, highlighting new potential treatments like pulse corticosteroid therapy, but reports no new research findings.

This study observed that white hair can create an optical illusion of increased scalp visibility, potentially misleading clinical evaluations of hair loss and complicating hair transplantation planning, and identified five core dyeing strategies to address this phenomenon.

This article provides issue information for the September 2020 edition of the British Journal of Dermatology and contains no new research findings.

This study indicates that targeting the PTH/PTHrP receptor may potentially stimulate hair growth, particularly for chemotherapy-induced alopecia, as observed in hairless and cyclophosphamide-treated mice.

A patient had both chronic lupus and systemic scleroderma, requiring careful treatment to manage symptoms.

Hair loss improved after removing pituitary tumor.

Women with premature ovarian insufficiency have a worse cardiovascular risk profile than premenopausal women.

This article discusses current visualization methods for assessing hair restoration therapy responses, noting imprecision in triangulated measurements and patient dissatisfaction with visible tattoos.

In this pilot study, researchers found that betulin did not conclusively inhibit hair loss or promote regrowth in patients with hypothyroidism when compared to placebo.

This case report describes a young male patient with androgenetic alopecia who experienced significant hair growth improvement and no side effects after receiving single spin platelet-rich plasma therapy combined with topical minoxidil.

In this study of patients with Androgenic Alopecia, micro-grafts containing HD-AFSCs resulted in significantly improved hair density and follicle count over 11 months compared to a saline solution, suggesting a potential alternative therapy for hair regrowth.

This review discusses the clinical characteristics of alopecia in cancer patients, highlighting its potential role as an associated finding or diagnostic clue, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that treating acute and chronic canine skin wounds with adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells significantly improved healing and reduced inflammation, suggesting potential benefits for human wound care.

This study identified specific reflectance confocal microscopy features that help differentiate scarring from non-scarring alopecia, providing a non-invasive diagnostic tool.

This report presents a case of alopecia areata manifesting in a linear pattern, deviating from the typical presentation of sharply demarcated round patches.

This study concluded that stromal vascular fraction treatment was effective in increasing hair density and thickness in patients with androgenetic alopecia over a three-month period.

This article discusses traction alopecia in children and adolescents, emphasizing its occurrence due to hairstyles that exert chronic tension on hair, but reports no new findings.

This study suggests that analyzing microscopic hair morphology, particularly loss of typical clubbing and proximal tapering, may help predict the clinical course of alopecia areata.

This paper highlights the potential efficacy of constitutional homeopathic medicine, supplemented with dietary guidance and management of associated diseases like thyroid disorders, in treating alopecia areata to expedite recovery and reduce recurrence.
