research Diphencyprone and topical tacrolimus as two topical immunotherapeutic modalities. Are they effective in the treatment of alopecia areata among Egyptian patients? A study using CD4, CD8 and MHC II as markers
Diphencyprone is effective for treating patchy hair loss in alopecia areata, but tacrolimus is not.
research A prostaglandind-synthase-positive mast cell gradient characterizes scalp patterning
Certain immune cells are more common on the top of the head and might help predict or treat common hair loss.
research Scalp Reconstruction and Repair
Effective scalp reconstruction requires a wide range of surgical skills and an understanding of hair biology.
research The ‘bald’ phenotype (androgenetic alopecia) is caused by the high glycaemic, high cholesterol and low mineral ‘western diet’
Western diet may cause male pattern baldness; low glycemic diet with magnesium could help.
research The effect of finasteride, a 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor, on scalp skin testosterone and dihydrotestosterone concentrations in patients with male pattern baldness.
