In this study, Erianin was found to significantly suppress alopecia areata in a mouse model by inhibiting effector T cell function, reversing systemic symptoms, and promoting hair growth.

This review discusses emerging treatments and mechanisms for alopecia, highlighting potential therapies like janus kinase inhibitors and advances in stem-cell technology, but reports no new experimental results.

This study found that among Japanese IBD patients, the NUDT15 p.Arg139Cys variant was significantly associated with thiopurine-induced leukopenia and severe hair loss, suggesting its genotyping is important for predicting these adverse events.

This review found evidence supporting the effectiveness and safety of topical minoxidil for treating female pattern hair loss, though many included studies were at high risk of bias.

This study found that miniaturization of hair is present in some women with androgenetic alopecia, but diagnosis may also be based on differences in hair shaft diameter between scalp regions.

This review found that while topical minoxidil is effective for treating female pattern hair loss, finasteride showed no more effectiveness than placebo, and low-level laser therapy increased hair count but with inconsistent results.

Light scatters differently from elliptical hair fibers than from circular ones, and a new model better predicts this behavior, especially for shiny highlights.

In this study, researchers characterized the normal scalp hair properties in South Koreans, observing that hair density declined with age and varied across scalp sites, while hair thickness patterns remained relatively stable until later in life.

This study observed that an 8-session mindfulness-based cognitive therapy reduced social anxiety and improved wellbeing in some individuals with alopecia areata, though effectiveness may depend on regular mindfulness practice.

This review reports that the treatment of androgenetic alopecia is shifting from single therapies to personalized, multimodal approaches incorporating both traditional and emerging pharmacologics, regenerative strategies, nutraceuticals, cosmeceuticals, and device-based interventions, with combination regimens showing improved outcomes.

This study found that post-COVID syndrome symptoms persisted and were more common in individuals who had recovered from COVID-19 compared to uninfected controls in Kerala, though both groups showed significant symptom burdens.

This study developed an ointment from palm kernel oil and shea butter, which demonstrated improved hair growth in rabbits and may inform the creation of non-harmful hair growth products for humans.

Hair regrowth was seen in 83% of children with alopecia, immune system plays a role in the condition, and various treatments showed effectiveness for hair and nail disorders.

Adjusting hair dryer settings improves drying efficiency and keeps hair healthy.

This study found that persistent significant alopecia was a common side effect following FEC-docetaxel chemotherapy, with a 33.4% global incidence, highlighting the need for awareness and potential preventative measures like cooling caps during treatment.

In this updated guideline, the British Association of Dermatologists' expert group provided 49 management recommendations for alopecia areata and highlighted future research priorities, aiming to improve care for individuals affected by this condition.

This guideline by the British Association of Dermatologists reviews managing alopecia areata and provides 56 recommendations but reports no new clinical results.

This review suggests that low-dose oral minoxidil may enhance hair density in certain nonandrogenetic alopecias, but highlights the need for controlled trials due to mixed and limited evidence.

This article discusses the causes, diagnosis, and treatment options for female pattern hair loss, emphasizing the role of topical minoxidil as a primary treatment, but provides no new clinical results.

This study highlights a complex link between hair care and HFRBDs and suggests that personalized hair care strategies could improve condition management and be integrated into professional guidance by clinicians and hair experts.

This study found that patients with alopecia have limited knowledge, negative attitudes, and proactive practices toward the condition, influenced by factors such as age, COVID-19, medication, and polycystic ovary syndrome, suggesting that improving knowledge through education may enhance patient management.

This study proposes that the ability of humans to grow long scalp hair is linked to the evolutionary adjustment of molecular checkpoints that regulate the hair growth cycle, potentially influenced by its roles in communicating age, maturity, and social signals.

This report describes a sudden hair matting incident after shampooing a hairpiece and suggests that weathered hairs might explain this unusual event.

This article provides a comprehensive guide on wig making, styling, and maintenance techniques but does not report any new research findings.

In this study, a case of a 70-year-old woman with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia showed that using a high-quality hair prosthesis improved her quality of life and mood, as measured by PHQ-9 and Skindex-29 scores, though such wigs are rarely covered by insurance.

This quality improvement initiative at Children’s Hospital of Orange County seeks to increase awareness and use of nonprofit pediatric wig programs by at least 50% over three months through educational interventions.

This case report documents the first instance of frontal fibrosing alopecia where lichen planopilaris developed at wig attachment sites, suggesting wigs may trigger the Koebner phenomenon in affected patients.

Wearing a wig caused a woman's skin condition to worsen due to pressure from the wig's fasteners.

This review discusses synthetic and nonsynthetic wigs for alopecia and reports no new results; it aims to inform physicians on advising patients about available wig options.
