research Lack of efficacy of finasteride in postmenopausal women with androgenetic alopecia
Finasteride doesn't effectively treat hair loss in postmenopausal women.
research Female pattern hair loss
Hair loss in women is genetic, diagnosed by examination and biopsy, and treated with minoxidil, finasteride, or transplantation.
research The importance of dual 5α-reductase inhibition in the treatment of male pattern hair loss: Results of a randomized placebo-controlled study of dutasteride versus finasteride
Dutasteride more effective for hair growth, but has more side effects than finasteride.
research Interferon alfa-2a in the treatment of cutaneous T cell lymphoma
Interferon alfa-2a is effective for treating cutaneous T cell lymphoma but has significant side effects.
research Epithelial stem cells and implications for wound repair
Different types of stem cells in hair follicles play unique roles in wound healing and hair growth, with some stem cells not originating from existing hair follicles but from non-hair follicle cells. WNT signaling and the Lhx2 factor are key in creating new hair follicles.
research A multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial of a novel formulation of 5% minoxidil topical foam versus placebo in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia in men
New 5% minoxidil foam effectively promotes hair growth and is safe for use.
research Topical minoxidil in early male pattern baldness
Minoxidil promotes hair growth in male pattern baldness.
research Resting no more: re‐defining telogen, the maintenance stage of the hair growth cycle
The telogen phase of hair growth is active and important for preparing hair follicles for regeneration, not just a resting stage.
research A pilot study of ICG laser therapy of acne vulgaris: Photodynamic and photothermolysis treatment
ICG-enhanced NIR laser therapy may be a promising acne treatment with improvement and no side effects.
research Fibromyalgia, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), and Evaluation of SLE Activity
Fibromyalgia slightly more common in SLE patients but doesn't affect SLE activity assessments.
research Interferon in the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma
Interferon, especially alfa interferon, is an effective treatment for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma with manageable side effects.
research Systemic Steroids With or Without 2% Topical Minoxidil in the Treatment of Alopecia Areata
Steroids help hair regrowth, and minoxidil slows post-steroid hair loss, but effects are temporary.
research Frontal fibrosing alopecia: A retrospective review of 19 patients seen at Duke University
Dutasteride may help stabilize Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, but more research is needed.
research Polymorphisms of the Androgen Receptor Gene and the Estrogen Receptor β Gene Are Associated with Androgen Levels in Women1
Certain genetic variations in the AR and ERβ genes can affect androgen levels in women.
research Central hair loss in African American women: Incidence and potential risk factors
Some African American women's central scalp hair loss is linked to genetics and past fungal scalp infections, with more research needed on other causes.
research Female Pattern Hair Loss and its Relationship to Permanent/Cicatricial Alopecia: A New Perspective
Some women with common hair loss may develop permanent hair loss.
research Psoriatic Alopecia/Alopecia Areata–Like Reactions Secondary to Anti–Tumor Necrosis Factor-α Therapy: A Novel Cause of Noncicatricial Alopecia
Anti-TNF therapy can cause a unique type of hair loss that may get better with topical treatments without stopping the therapy.
research Iron deficiency in female pattern hair loss, chronic telogen effluvium, and control groups
Iron deficiency common in women, not always linked to hair loss; more research needed.
research Central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia
CCCA is a scarring hair loss condition mainly in African descent women, possibly caused by genetics and hairstyling, treated with gentle hair care and medications.
research The Role of Interferon-γ in Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndrome Type 1
Ruxolitinib may effectively treat APS-1 by reducing harmful immune responses.
research Five-year follow-up of men with androgenetic alopecia treated with topical minoxidil
Minoxidil treatment increased hair growth for up to 5 years, requiring twice daily application.

research Investigative guidelines for alopecia areata
Guidelines help design better trials to compare alopecia areata treatments.
research Treatment of chemotherapy-induced alopecia
Scalp cooling can prevent chemotherapy-induced hair loss, and certain treatments can speed up hair regrowth, but more research is needed for better treatments.
research Dose-response study of topical minoxidil in male pattern baldness
Lowest effective minoxidil concentration is 1%, but 2% works better for male pattern baldness.
research Topical minoxidil in male pattern baldness: Effects of discontinuation of treatment
