research Female pattern hair loss in complete androgen insensitivity syndrome
Hair loss in women may have causes other than hormones.
research Type 1 interferon signature in the scalp lesions of alopecia areata
Alopecia areata shows a unique type 1 interferon signature, suggesting potential treatment by targeting this pathway.
research The spectrum of inflammatory skin disease following jejuno-ileal bypass for morbid obesity
Some patients developed skin inflammation after obesity surgery, and a medication called dapsone helped treat it.
research The Ludwig pattern of androgenetic alopecia is due to a hierarchy of androgen sensitivity within follicular units that leads to selective miniaturization and a reduction in the number of terminal hairs per follicular unit
Ludwig pattern hair loss in women results from varying sensitivity in hair follicles, causing fewer visible hairs.
research 'Atrophic telogen effluvium' from cytotoxic drugs and a randomized controlled trial to investigate the possible protective effect of pretreatment with a topical vitamin D3 analogue in humans
Topical vitamin D3 does not prevent hair loss from chemotherapy.
research Serological screening for coeliac disease in vitiligo and alopecia areata
Vitiligo is not linked to coeliac disease, but a small number of alopecia areata patients may have it, suggesting they should be tested for coeliac disease.
research Hypertrichosis due to minoxidil
Minoxidil causes excessive hair growth in almost all patients.
research Congenital hypotrichosis due to short anagen
Some children are born with unusually short, fine hair because their hair growth phase is short, but this often gets better by itself during puberty.
research Evidence-based treatments for female pattern hair loss: a summary of a Cochrane systematic review
Minoxidil helps regrow hair in female pattern hair loss, but more research needed for other treatments.
research ‘A detective look’ at hair biopsies from African-American patients
Recognizing specific features of African-American hair can help diagnose hair loss conditions.
research Low sex-hormone binding globulin levels in young women with diffuse hair loss
Young women with diffuse hair loss may have low SHBG levels, which could lead to more active testosterone and contribute to their hair loss.
research Procyanidin B-2, extracted from apples, promotes hair growth: a laboratory study
Apple extract called procyanidin B-2 was found to greatly increase hair growth.
research Hair greying is associated with active hair growth
White hair grows thicker and faster than black hair due to higher activity of growth-related genes and proteins.
research A distinct gene close to the hairless locus on chromosome 8p underlies hereditary Marie Unna type hypotrichosis in a German family
A different gene near the hairless gene on chromosome 8p21 causes a rare hair loss condition in a German family.
research Straight hair associated with interferon-alfa plus ribavirin in hepatitis C infection
ALA-PDT is effective and safe for chronic X-ray dermatitis, providing complete or partial remission.
research Absence of vellus hair in the hairline: a videodermatoscopic feature of frontal fibrosing alopecia
Lack of small, fine hair on the front hairline is a key sign of frontal fibrosing alopecia.
research Stem cells and alopecia: a review of pathogenesis
Damaged hair follicle stem cells can cause permanent hair loss, but understanding their role could lead to new treatments.
research The lack of significant changes in scalp hair follicle density with advancing age
Aging alone barely affects the number of hair follicles, meaning hair loss is minimal without other conditions like androgenetic alopecia.
research Female pattern hair loss, sebum excretion and the end-organ response to androgens
Hair loss in women not always linked to increased oil production; other factors may be involved.
research Differential expression analysis of balding and nonbalding dermal papilla microRNAs in male pattern baldness with a microRNA amplification profiling method
Certain microRNAs are more common in balding areas and might be involved in male pattern baldness.
research Women who present with female pattern hair loss tend to underestimate the severity of their hair loss
Women with female pattern hair loss often underestimate how severe it is.
research Sex hormone-binding globulin and saliva testosterone levels in men with androgenetic alopecia
Men with hair loss have lower SHBG and higher saliva testosterone levels, suggesting increased androgen activity.
research Phenotypic variability associated withWNT10Anonsense mutations
WNT10A mutations cause varied symptoms in patients with odonto-onycho-dermal dysplasia.
research The effect of the antiandrogen IIα-hydroxyprogesterone on sebum production and cholesterol concentration of sebum
The antiandrogen 11α-hydroxyprogesterone effectively reduces skin oil and cholesterol when applied to the skin.
research Effect of cyproterone acetate on rate of hair growth in hirsute females
Cyproterone acetate reduced hair growth in most hirsute females and made hair softer, thinner, and lighter.
research Discoid lupus alopecia complicated by frontal fibrosing alopecia on a background of androgenetic alopecia
Woman has discoid lupus, frontal fibrosing, and androgenetic alopecia.
research CD10 and CD34 in fetal and adult human hair follicles: dynamic changes in their immunohistochemical expression during embryogenesis and hair cycling
CD10 and CD34 levels change during hair development and different hair growth stages, which could be important for hair regeneration treatments.
research Analysis of quantitative changes in hair growth during treatment with chemotherapy or tamoxifen in patients with breast cancer: a cohort study
Chemotherapy causes hair loss starting soon after treatment begins and recovers about 3 months after ending, while tamoxifen does not significantly affect hair growth.
research Identification of a novelPNPLA1mutation in a Spanish family with autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis
A new gene mutation linked to a skin condition was found in a Spanish family.
