research Clinicopathologic Characteristics and Response to Treatment of Persistent Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia in Breast Cancer Survivors
Different types of persistent hair loss after chemotherapy respond differently to treatments.
research Hair and Nail Manifestations of Systemic Disease
Early baldness in men may indicate risks for obesity, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and heart disease, similar to women with PCOS. Alopecia areata is often linked with autoimmune diseases and mental health issues. Certain hair disorders are due to genetic issues, and chemotherapy can cause hair loss through specific biological pathways. Iron deficiency's link to hair loss is still disputed.
research Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia by Docetaxel: Prevalence, Treatment and Prevention
Docetaxel often causes hair loss, with limited effective treatments and no cure for permanent hair loss.
research Abstract 1718: Topical botanical extract for management of chemotherapy-induced alopecia.
A botanical extract was found to be a safe treatment that may prevent hair loss in chemotherapy patients.
research Thymic stromal lymphopoietin controls hair growth
Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) promotes hair growth, especially after skin injury.
research Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia in Ovarian Cancer: Incidence, Mechanisms, and Impact Across Treatment Regimens
Improving treatment plans can reduce hair loss and improve life quality for ovarian cancer patients.
research Promotion of homology-directed DNA repair by polyamines
Polyamines help fix DNA damage accurately in cells.
research Promising alternative clinical uses of prostaglandin F2α analogs: Beyond the eyelashes
Prostaglandin F2α analogs show promise for treating certain types of hair loss but need more research for other skin conditions.
research Permanent chemotherapy-induced alopecia after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation treated with low-dose oral minoxidil
The document concludes that low-dose oral minoxidil successfully regrew hair in a patient with permanent hair loss after chemotherapy and stem cell transplant.
research Bimatoprost for the treatment of eyelash, eyebrow and scalp alopecia
Bimatoprost is promising for treating some types of hair loss but needs more testing for androgenetic alopecia.
research Adverse cutaneous reactions to chemotherapeutic agents and cytokine therapy
Chemotherapy and cytokine therapy can cause various skin reactions, including hair loss and hypersensitivity.
research Initial damage produced by a single 15-Gy x-ray irradiation to the rat calvaria skin
15-Gy x-ray irradiation temporarily alters rat calvaria skin without causing significant inflammation or fibrosis.
research Computational Drug Discovery in Chemotherapy-induced Alopecia via Text Mining and Biomedical Databases
Computational tools identified 29 drugs that could potentially target 19 genes involved in chemotherapy-induced hair loss, which could lead to more effective treatments.
research Off-Label Use of Topical Minoxidil in Alopecia: A Review
Minoxidil helps treat eyebrow thinning, monilethrix, early hair loss, and shortens chemo-related hair loss.
research Hair Regeneration Effects of Lespedeza bicolor Extract In Vivo and In Vitro
Lespedeza bicolor extract promotes hair growth and increases hair follicle cell growth, potentially making it a better treatment than minoxidil.
research Hair Changes due to Drugs
Some drugs can cause reversible hair loss, but certain chemotherapy drugs may lead to permanent hair loss; drugs can also change hair color and texture.
research Sudden onset hair loss and colour change
A man's sudden hair loss and color change to white was diagnosed as alopecia areata and it improved on its own after six months.
research Radiation Dermatitis: Radiation-Induced Effects on the Structural and Immunological Barrier Function of the Epidermis
Radiation therapy damages skin structure and immune function, causing inflammation and potential hair loss.
research Malignancy and Cancer Treatment-Related Hair and Nail Changes
Hair and nail changes can indicate health issues, including cancer and side effects from cancer treatments.
research Secondary cicatricial and other permanent alopecias
The document says that treating the root cause of hair follicle damage is crucial to prevent permanent hair loss, and treatment options vary.
research Stimulation of hair regrowth in an animal model of androgenic alopecia using 2-deoxy-D-ribose
2-deoxy-D-ribose gel may help regrow hair in cases of hair loss.
research Hair growth-modulation by adrenergic drugs
Certain drugs can cause early hair growth in mice by affecting the nerves.
research 1371 FGF7-dependent inhibition of human hair growth byan osteopontin-derived peptide: A novel solution for hirsutism and hypertrichosis?
A new peptide, FOL-005, may help treat excessive hair growth by reducing a hair growth promoter, FGF7.
research HAIR AND SYSTEMATIC DISEASE
Hair loss can indicate underlying systemic diseases and addressing these can sometimes reverse the hair loss.
research Lysocellin, a metabolite of the novel drug ‘alopestatin’, induces G1 arrest and prevents cytotoxicity induced by etoposide
Lysocellin helps stop cell damage from etoposide and may prevent hair loss.
research HAIR MATRIX CELL KINETICS: A SELECTIVE REVIEW
Hair growth is influenced by factors like genetics and nutrition, and more research is needed to understand hair loss and growth mechanisms.
research Production of ultraviolet-light-induced skin erythema in the hairless rat: a comparison with the haired rat in screening for anti-inflammatory drugs
Hairless rats are good for testing anti-inflammatory drugs, similar to haired rats, without needing to remove fur.
research 5-Bromo-2′-deoxyuridine induced effluvium via p53-mediated CD326-positive keratinocyte apoptosis in C57BL/6 mice
A chemical called 5-Bromo-2′-deoxyuridine caused rapid hair loss in mice by killing certain skin cells through a specific cell death pathway.
research Therapeutic strategies for treating hair loss
The conclusion is that we need more effective hair loss treatments than the current ones, and these could include new drugs, gene and stem cell therapy, hormones, and scalp cooling, but they all need thorough safety testing.
