Natural 5AR inhibitors effectively improve mild to moderate hair loss in men.
research Dermatosurgical techniques for repigmentation of vitiligo
Surgical methods like suction blister grafting and split-thickness skin grafting are highly successful for vitiligo repigmentation, but choosing the right patients is crucial for success.
research Modulating hair follicle size with Wnt10b/DKK1 during hair regeneration
Wnt10b makes hair follicles bigger, but DKK1 can reverse this effect.
research Advances in the management of alopecia areata
New treatments for severe hair loss often fail, but some patients see hair regrowth with specific therapies, and treatment should be tailored to the individual's situation.
research Chemotherapy‐induced alopecia management: Clinical experience and practical advice
The conclusion is to use scalp cooling, gentle hair care, and treatments like minoxidil for managing hair loss from chemotherapy, and stresses the need for more research and collaboration in this area.
research Assessment of hair loss: clinical relevance of hair growth evaluation methods
Effective hair loss assessment requires a mix of precise measurement methods.
research Comprehensive analysis of circRNAs from cashmere goat skin by next generation RNA sequencing (RNA-seq)
Four circRNAs were found to be significantly different in cashmere goat skin, affecting cashmere fineness.
research Topical ketoconazole: a systematic review of current dermatological applications and future developments
Ketoconazole cream is effective for skin conditions like seborrheic dermatitis and may help with hair loss and other skin issues, with generally mild side effects.
research Induction of Hair Growth by Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 in 1,763 MHz Radiofrequency-Irradiated Hair Follicle Cells
Radiofrequency exposure can stimulate hair growth by increasing IGF-1 in hair follicle cells.
research Ephrins Negatively Regulate Cell Proliferation in the Epidermis and Hair Follicle
Ephrins slow down skin and hair follicle cell growth.
research Topical and intralesional therapies for alopecia areata

Too much thymosin beta4 causes weird teeth and more hair growth in mice.
research Alopecia areata: a long‐term follow‐up study of 104 patients
Older age at onset of alopecia areata leads to less severe and shorter episodes, with most patients experiencing significant hair regrowth.
research A meta-analysis on evidence of platelet-rich plasma for androgenetic alopecia
PRP treatment helps hair growth and density with 70.7% success, but more research needed.
