Treatment with plasma rich in growth factors improved hair density and thickness for hair loss patients.
research Approach to the adult female patient with diffuse nonscarring alopecia
The document concludes that careful evaluation is key to diagnose and treat women with hair loss, with tests for thyroid, iron, and hormones as needed.
research Androgen Action in the Ovary
Androgens are important for normal ovarian function and estrogen production, but may not be the main cause of follicle death.

Liposomes improve finasteride delivery for hair loss treatment, making it a promising option for topical use.
research A comparison of vertical versus transverse sections in the evaluation of alopecia biopsy specimens
Using both vertical and transverse sections gives a better diagnosis of alopecia than using one method alone.
research Contemporary Hair Transplantation
Modern hair transplants use small grafts for a natural look and drugs to prevent further loss, with high patient satisfaction.
research Chronic telogen effluvium: A study of 5 patients over 7 years
Most patients with chronic hair shedding did not progress to permanent hair loss, and one showed improvement with treatment.
research Erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp: Clinical, trichoscopic, and histopathologic features of 20 cases
The conclusion is that high-potency steroids or tacrolimus are effective treatments for erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp.
research Histologic features of alopecia areata other than peribulbar lymphocytic infiltrates
Other common signs, not just the well-known immune cells around hair bulbs, are important for diagnosing hair loss from alopecia areata.
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.
research Expression patterns of MITF during human cutaneous embryogenesis: evidence for bulge epithelial expression and persistence of dermal melanoblasts

research Hair transplanting: an important but often forgotten treatment for female pattern hair loss
Hair transplanting is a useful, often overlooked treatment for female pattern hair loss.
research Hair through the female life cycle
Women's hair generally gets thinner and less dense starting in their mid-thirties, with hair loss becoming more common as they age due to both genetics and environment.
research Stem cell therapy as a novel therapeutic intervention for resistant cases of alopecia areata and androgenetic alopecia
Stem cell therapy may help treat tough hair loss cases.
research Influence of massage and occlusion on the ex vivo skin penetration of rigid liposomes and invasomes
Massage increases how deep both rigid and flexible liposomes can go into skin, with flexible ones going deeper, and covering the skin (occlusion) helps rigid ones more.
research Induction of Hair Growth by Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 in 1,763 MHz Radiofrequency-Irradiated Hair Follicle Cells
Radiofrequency exposure can stimulate hair growth by increasing IGF-1 in hair follicle cells.
research The spectrum of hair loss in patients with mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome
Some patients with mycosis fungoides or Sézary syndrome experience hair loss, which may be similar to alopecia areata or linked to skin lesions, possibly due to abnormal T cells, and bexarotene can help treat it.
research Comparison of clinical and laboratory characteristics of cases with polycystic ovarian syndrome based on Rotterdam’s criteria and women whose only clinical signs are oligo/anovulation or hirsutism
Women with only irregular periods or excess hair have a better hormone profile than those with full PCOS, but both groups are similar, indicating a need for better PCOS diagnosis methods.
research Sebaceous gland loss and inflammation in scarring alopecia: A potential role in pathogenesis
Loss of sebaceous glands and inflammation may contribute to the development of scarring alopecia.
research Eccrine sweat glands associate with the human hair follicle within a defined compartment of dermal white adipose tissue
Sweat glands and hair follicles are structurally connected within a specific layer of skin fat.
