FFA's causes may include environmental triggers and genetic factors.
research Prolactin—a novel neuroendocrine regulator of human keratin expressionin situ
Prolactin affects the production of different keratins in human hair, which could lead to new treatments for skin and hair disorders.
research Penetration and distribution of three lipophilic probes in vitro in human skin focusing on the hair follicle
Medium lipophilic substances penetrate skin best, and adding ethanol can increase delivery to hair follicles.
research Profiling the Response of Human Hair Follicles to Ultraviolet Radiation
UVB radiation harms hair growth and health, causing cell death and other changes in human hair follicles.

Bone marrow and umbilical cord stem cells can help grow new hair.
research Thyrotropin-releasing hormone and oestrogen differentially regulate prolactin and prolactin receptor expression in female human skin and hair follicles in vitro
Oestrogen and thyrotropin-releasing hormone affect prolactin and its receptor in human skin and hair, suggesting new treatment options for related conditions.
research Vasoactive intestinal peptide, whose receptor-mediated signalling may be defective in alopecia areata, provides protection from hair follicle immune privilege collapse
A substance called VIP might protect hair follicles from being attacked by the immune system, and problems with VIP signaling could lead to hair loss in alopecia areata.
research Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia: A Review
Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia's cause is unclear, affects mainly postmenopausal women, and current treatments focus on stopping hair loss rather than regrowth.
research An update of the pathogenesis of frontal fibrosing alopecia: What does the current evidence tell us?
The current understanding of frontal fibrosing alopecia involves immune, genetic, hormonal factors, and possibly environmental triggers, but more research is needed for effective treatments.
research Male frontal fibrosing alopecia with generalised hair loss
A 66-year-old man with a rare case of male frontal fibrosing alopecia did not regrow hair despite treatment.
research Investigation of variants of the aromatase gene (CYP19A1) in female pattern hair loss
No link found between aromatase gene and female hair loss.
research Lichen Planopilaris in the Androgenetic Alopecia Area: A Pitfall for Hair Transplantation
Misdiagnosis of LPP in AGA patients can cause hair transplant issues.
research Evidence for a functional interaction of WNT10A and EBF1 in male-pattern baldness
WNT10A and EBF1 interaction affects hair growth in male-pattern baldness.
research Use of platelet-rich plasma in lichen planopilaris and its variants: A retrospective case series demonstrating treatment tolerability without koebnerization
Platelet-rich plasma is tolerable for lichen planopilaris and doesn't worsen the condition, but its effectiveness is unclear.
research Effect of intense pulsed light treatment on human skinin vitro: analysis of immediate effects on dermal papillae and hair follicle stem cells
Intense pulsed light treatment mainly damages pigmented hair parts but spares stem cells, allowing hair to regrow.
research Evaluation of Hair Loss
The document concludes that a thorough history, physical exam, and specific tests are crucial for diagnosing and managing hair loss effectively.
research Primary cicatricial alopecia and inflammatory bowel disease – is there a link?
Some people with primary cicatricial alopecia also have inflammatory bowel disease, suggesting a possible connection.
research Update on Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia
Best treatment for Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia is 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors and intralesional corticosteroids.
research Complications in follicular unit excision hair transplantation: current evidence and practical approaches
FUE hair transplants are generally safe but require careful planning to avoid rare complications.
research Scalp hair cortisol concentration in patients with alopecia areata and correlate its level with the disease variables
Higher stress levels may worsen alopecia areata, suggesting stress management is important for treatment.
