This case report documents an 8-year-old boy with alopecia areata presenting as symmetric alopecic patches with a triangular and targetoid pattern on the scalp, successfully treated with clobetasol propionate foam.

This review discusses the expanding use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in chronic ulcer treatment and aesthetics but reports no new clinical findings; PRP's composition, including growth factors, relates to tissue repair and potential hair growth.

This study found no difference in lipid levels between men with and without androgenetic alopecia, suggesting the increased heart disease risk associated with this condition does not solely depend on cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

This study found that chronic ethanol exposure and withdrawal alter the expression and function of GABA-A receptors in rat hippocampal and cerebellar neurons, suggesting different roles for these receptors in controlling tonic inhibition.

This study found that bicalutamide mesotherapy resulted in subtle hair density improvements and was well tolerated by premenopausal women with androgenetic alopecia.

In this study, the authors highlight the potential of intradermal microinjections of dutasteride as an adjunctive therapy for androgenetic alopecia, though they note that information on its effectiveness remains limited.

This research review suggests that topical adenosine could improve hair thickness and user satisfaction in adults with androgenetic alopecia, with minimal side effects reported, but concludes that further studies are necessary to confirm these findings.

This study found that, among women with type 1 diabetes, those with polycystic ovary syndrome did not show worse lipoprotein and inflammatory glycoprotein profiles compared to those without the syndrome, although they had more harmful HDL particle subclasses than women with typical PCOS.

This study found that approximately 26% of women with Type 1 diabetes have undiagnosed androgen disorders, with polycystic ovary syndrome being the most common, particularly in those with premenarcheal onset of diabetes.

This review reports that alopecia areata affects about 2% of people globally and is linked with psychiatric and medical comorbidities, highlighting its significant disease burden.

This study found that 32% of patients with hereditary male pattern baldness experienced cosmetically acceptable hair growth after applying topical minoxidil twice daily, with no serious side effects reported.

In this randomized trial, topical minoxidil treatment resulted in cosmetically acceptable hair growth in 32% of men with hereditary male pattern baldness, with no serious side effects reported.

This review suggests that platelet-rich plasma may be effective in increasing hair density in patients with androgenetic alopecia, but more research is needed to determine the best treatment protocol.

In a rat model of chemotherapy-induced alopecia, this study found that low-level laser treatment significantly accelerated hair regrowth without affecting the efficacy of chemotherapy.

This study found that treatment with the polyphenolic compound TCQA activated β-catenin, promoting hair regrowth and the initiation of the anagen phase in mice and human dermal papilla cells.

This study found that while cyclophosphamide remains effective for severe autoimmune conditions, it is associated with gastrointestinal side effects, infections, some cases of irreversible amenorrhoea, and a higher risk of malignancies, emphasizing the need for long-term monitoring.

Using minoxidil on balding men's scalps can increase hair growth, according to a 12-month study.

This study demonstrated that quercetin effectively treated alopecia areata and prevented its onset in a mouse model, suggesting potential for clinical applications in managing the condition.

This study found that spironolactone reduced fish fecundity and caused masculinization of females at certain concentrations, while having no effect on Daphnia magna reproduction, underscoring concerns for environmental exposure to vertebrates.

In this study, researchers found that as androgenetic alopecia severity increased, the hair follicle matrix and dermal papilla's volume and cell nuclei number decreased, especially in the papilla.

This study found that women with female pattern baldness had a marked increase in the 3α,17β-androstanediol glucuronide/sex hormone binding globulin ratio and low serum sex hormone binding globulin.

This study suggests that 3,4,5-tri-O-caffeoylquinic acid activates β-catenin to enhance pigmentation in mouse hair follicles, human melanocytes, and melanoma cells during the hair cycle's growth phase.

In this review, researchers summarize the methods for characterizing telocytes, outline their physiological roles and implications in diseases, and discuss potential future studies including precise markers and targeted therapies.

A 31-year-old man's hair turned white suddenly, likely due to alopecia areata.

This study found that in a neonatal rat model, skin wounding protected against chemotherapy-induced alopecia through IL-1β signaling, making hair follicles more resistant to damage when wounding exposure was timed correctly.

An elderly man with skin amyloidosis and abnormal blood proteins was monitored without finding widespread disease after 18 months.

Using a CO₂ laser for hair transplants improves the surgery and may become important in future hair restoration.

This study found that a novel saw palmetto supercritical CO2 extract effectively inhibits 5α-reductase type II in vitro, suggesting its potential for promoting prostate health in benign prostatic hyperplasia.

The Hotz-Celsus surgery successfully fixed inward-turning eyelids in cattle.

This review discusses emerging evidence on azathioprine's efficacy and safety for severe alopecia areata, reporting sustained response in many patients but emphasizing the need for controlled trials.
