This review discusses treatment options for trichotillomania, focusing on cognitive-behavioral interventions and promising developments in combined pharmacotherapy and therapy approaches, but reports no new findings.

In this study, Trapa bispinosa Roxb. pericarp extract demonstrated inhibitory effects on 5α-reductase activity both in vitro using LNCaP cells and in vivo in a mouse model of benign prostatic hyperplasia, suggesting its potential role in managing the condition.

This review discusses the diverse pharmacological activities of T. procumbens, such as hypotensive and hair growth-promoting effects, but reports no new clinical findings.

The study reported that mice receiving dynamized Melatonin 6 cH and Lissotriton 6 cH for 14 days exhibited improved coat health and increased endurance in forced swimming tests, with Melatonin-treated mice swimming 2.5 times longer and Lissotriton-treated mice 4 times longer than controls.

This study reported that phytochemicals SA-4 and SA-6 from Tridax procumbens exhibited a dose-related immunostimulatory effect on mice, suggesting their potential as immunostimulators.

This review outlines current treatment strategies for trichotillomania, noting that while cognitive-behavioral therapy is effective, N-acetylcysteine and memantine are also recommended due to their safety and efficacy, though evidence for other drugs like fluoxetine and naltrexone remains limited.

This report found that hair loss was extremely rare but occurred in some cases with certain antidepressants, notably fluoxetine and 5-HT uptake inhibitors, but not with trazodone or mianserin.

This study identified trichohyalin as an early differentiation marker in hair follicles, with potential structural roles related to alpha-helical formations, based on the partial characterization of its cDNA in sheep.

This study suggests that both the central biosynthesis and metabolism of progesterone to 3α,5α‐THP in the ventral tegmental area are crucial for facilitating lordosis in female rats.

This abstract suggests that finasteride's suppression of DHT may link DHT to migraine causes, or it may benefit migraines by other finasteride properties like testosterone modulation, but reports no new empirical findings.

In this study, α-MSH and cyclic AMP were found to stimulate melanogenesis in hair follicle cultures, while cyclic GMP and melatonin inhibited melanin production but not tyrosinase activity.

This research review examined existing studies on the medicinal properties of Tridax procumbens and found that its secondary metabolites have potential for treating various ailments, especially in tropical regions, though more studies are needed to fully understand its potential applications and safety.

This study found that bupropion SR may improve symptoms in female trichotillomania patients who did not respond to SSRIs, with benefits maintained through a 16-month follow-up.

This laboratory study concluded that TRPA1 and TRPV1 channels do not play a role in mechanotransduction processes in slowly adapting type II mechanoreceptors in isolated rat sinus hair follicles.

In this study, topical trypsin treatment following depilation in a mouse model induced cell death at the follicular papilla, delaying hair growth and pigmentation.

This study found that α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone increased melanin production in hair follicles of moulting Siberian hamsters, whereas [8-arginine]-vasotocin inhibited melanin production without affecting tyrosinase activity.

This study suggests that Gambogic Amide may act as an anti-hair greying and hair growth-promoting molecule in human hair follicles in vitro by maintaining pigmentation and stimulating hair shaft elongation.

In this animal study, agmatine exhibited a protective effect against seizures related to hormone fluctuations, with results suggesting that its anticonvulsant properties may involve interactions with central neurosteroids in female rats experiencing progesterone withdrawal.

In this study on male rats, parachlorophenylalanine treatment induced hypersexual behavior and hair loss linked to increased social interaction but had no effect on brain serotonin when testosterone was used instead.

This study indicates potential differences in the hair spectra of individuals with mood disorders, suggesting a promising, yet preliminary, method for noninvasive prediagnosis.

This study found that A(3)B(5) downregulates melanin production and suppresses melanoma cell growth by promoting proteasomal degradation of TRP-2.

This study observed that overexpressing TSPO in the hippocampal dentate gyrus of mice led to significant anxiolytic and antidepressant-like effects, potentially mediated by increased allopregnanolone synthesis.

This review discusses the functions and potential therapeutic targeting of TRP ion channels in the skin, noting their involvement in both physiological processes and various pathological conditions, but reports no new experimental results.

This study found that certain tandem repeats predict darker hair color across diverse ancestry groups and can contribute to a polygenic score for hair color, independent of SNP variation.

In this study, researchers synthesized the fictional compound 1-hydroxyindole and discovered its potential medical applications, including anti-aging properties, itch relief for atopic dermatitis, and as a stronger treatment for dementia compared to cilostazol. Additionally, they found that 1-methoxyindole derivatives function as anticancer agents in diets.

In this study, researchers found that mast cells in Erythema Toxicum lesions in newborns are actively involved in the immune response around hair follicles, but do not express the antimicrobial peptide LL-37.

This case report suggests that Citalopram may cause reversible hair loss in some patients, as evidenced by hair regrowth after discontinuing the drug.

This study found that duloxetine and escitalopram exhibited broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, while buspirone had selective effects, and finasteride disrupted yeast virulence traits, suggesting these drugs could be repurposed as antimicrobial therapies.
