research Biology of Hair Growth
Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone affect hair growth, and new techniques like the folliculogram help study it, but fully understanding hair growth is still complex.
research Hypertrichosis due to minoxidil
Minoxidil causes excessive hair growth in almost all patients.
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 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 Conversion of the Nipple to Hair-Bearing Epithelia by Lowering Bone Morphogenetic Protein Pathway Activity at the Dermal-Epidermal Interface
Blocking a specific protein signal can make hair grow on mouse nipples.
research Treatment of monilethrix with oral minoxidil
Oral minoxidil shows promise in treating monilethrix-related hair loss.
research Short anagen syndrome
Short anagen syndrome involves a hair growth phase lasting 1.5 years.
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 Genotype-phenotype correlation in boys with X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia
Boys with less severe EDA mutations in XLHED have milder symptoms and better sweat and hair production.

research Hair physiology and its disorders
Different hair growth problems are caused by genetic issues or changes in hair growth cycles, and new treatments are being developed.
research Histopathological and Ultrastructural Study of Ectodermal Dysplasia/Skin Fragility Syndrome
The study concluded that PKP1 is essential for skin integrity and hair growth, and its dysfunction causes the symptoms of ectodermal dysplasia/skin fragility syndrome.
research Mutational spectrum in 101 patients with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia and breakpoint mapping in independent cases of rare genomic rearrangements
Researchers found genetic mutations causing hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia in 88% of studied patients and identified new mutations and genetic variations affecting the disease.
research The clinical management of hirsutism
The document concludes that managing hirsutism involves identifying the cause, using a scoring system for severity, combining cosmetic and medical treatments, encouraging weight loss, and providing psychological support, while noting the need for more research on drug treatments.
research Endocrine evaluation of hirsutism
Women with excessive male-pattern hair growth should get a full hormone check-up to find and treat any underlying issues, considering both medical and emotional aspects.
research Use of Platelet-Rich Plasma in Cicatricial Alopecia
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) may help improve hair density in primary cicatricial alopecias (PCAs) patients, but more trials are needed to confirm its benefits.
research Use of topical minoxidil as a possible adjunct to hair transplant surgery
Minoxidil may help hair growth after transplant surgery.
research Topically Applied Minoxidil in Baldness
Minoxidil helps hair growth, but results vary.
research Gastrointestinal polyposis with protein-losing enteropathy, abnormal skin pigmentation and loss of hair and nails (Cronkhite-Canada syndrome)

Tigason improved hair growth in a boy with monilethrix without side effects.
research Monitoring chemotherapy‐induced alopecia with trichoscopy
Chemotherapy caused hair loss with specific patterns, but most patients had hair regrowth after treatment, while some had lasting hair loss.
research A descriptive study of alopecia patterns and their relation to thyroid dysfunction
Hair loss is often linked to thyroid problems, especially in women and older people, and screening for thyroid issues is advised for those with hair loss.
research Cutaneous latanoprost in the treatment of alopecia areata
Applying latanoprost on skin can stimulate hair growth with minimal side effects.
research ENDOXAN ALOPECIA
Endoxan often causes hair loss, which usually starts in the third week of treatment.
