This narrative review explores mechanisms linking COVID-19 with hair loss, highlighting how cytokine-mediated inflammation, androgen-regulated TMPRSS2 expression, and direct follicular injury contribute to the condition. It suggests that vitamin D could potentially mitigate this hair loss by suppressing inflammation and viral entry, warranting further research.

This study found that the transcription factor Gata6 plays a crucial role in adult mouse hair follicle regeneration by promoting the renewal and preventing DNA damage of rapidly proliferating progenitor cells.

This review discusses environmental factors like UV radiation and smoking that affect hair health and highlights the potential role of nutrition, but it reports no new results.

In this study, researchers linked SARS-CoV-2 infection to telogen effluvium in some COVID-19 patients by observing the accumulation of viral proteins in hair follicle cells, which may trigger stress responses and cell death, suggesting hair follicles as a potential target in COVID-19.

This review discusses melanocyte biology and its genetic and molecular basis, highlighting its relevance in understanding diseases like vitiligo and albinism, and reports no new findings.
