research Scarring hair follicle destruction is driven by the collapse of EGFR-protected JAK-STAT1-sensitive stem cell immune privilege
A protein called EGFR protects hair follicle stem cells, and when it's disrupted, hair follicles can be damaged, but blocking certain pathways can restore hair growth.
research Hair Growth Cycle Affects Hair Follicle Destruction by Ruby Laser Pulses
Ruby laser pulses best destroy hair follicles during the growth phase and effectiveness varies with laser intensity; melanin is key for targeting, and timing treatments can improve results.
research 1338 Epidermal growth factor receptor protects from immune privilege collapse and scarring hair follicle destruction
Blocking EGFR can lead to hair loss due to inflammation and stem cell damage.
research The G-Protein Couple Receptor Kinase 2 (GRK2) Orchestrates Hair Follicle Homeostasis
GRK2 is essential for healthy hair follicle function, and its absence can lead to hair loss and cysts.
research PRP: Alopecia Areata an Autoimmune Destruction of the Hair
PRP is a promising treatment for autoimmune hair loss but its exact workings are not fully understood.
research The walking dead: sequential nuclear and organelle destruction during hair development
Cells in hair die by breaking down their DNA and mitochondria as they form keratin.
research Environmental and Cosmetic Factors in Hair Loss and Destruction
Environmental and cosmetic factors, including heat, chemicals, and sun exposure, can cause hair loss and damage.
research The walking dead: sequential nuclear and organelle destruction during hair development
Hair cells lose their nucleus and mitochondria in a specific order as they fill with keratin, which could help develop treatments for hair issues.
research Hair regrowth in cicatricial alopecia: A literature review
Hair regrowth is possible in some cicatricial alopecia patients after treatment, but the reason is unclear.
research Theoretical considerations in laser hair removal
Laser hair removal effectiveness depends on targeting hair structures without harming the skin, and improvements require more research and expert collaboration.
research Extended theory of selective photothermolysis: A new recipe for hair cooking?
Permanent hair removal is hard, but using longer laser pulses at lower power might improve results.
research SOCS3 treatment prevents the development of alopecia areata by inhibiting CD8+ T cell-mediated autoimmune destruction
SOCS3 treatment can prevent hair loss by stopping harmful immune responses.
research Alopecia areata
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition causing hair loss, influenced by genetics, stress, and diet, and may be prevented by a high soy oil diet.
research Frontal fibrosing alopecia in postmenopausal women
Some postmenopausal women with frontal fibrosing alopecia stopped losing hair with finasteride treatment, hinting at a possible hormonal cause.

research Alopecia areata: What’s new in epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and therapeutic options?
New insights into the causes and treatments for the autoimmune hair loss condition Alopecia areata have been made.
research Androgenetic alopecia in males: a histopathological and ultrastructural study
Hair loss in males involves inflammation, collagen buildup, and follicle damage, with severity increasing with age and baldness duration.
research Review of Scalp Alopecia due to a Clinically Unapparent or Minimally Apparent Neoplasm (SACUMAN)
SACUMAN, a rare condition causing hair loss without clear signs, is often misdiagnosed and needs scalp biopsies for accurate detection.
research Report from the Cicatricial Alopecia Colloquium
More research is needed to understand and treat cicatricial alopecias.
research CD80CD86 deficiency disrupts regulatory CD4+FoxP3+T cell homoeostasis and induces autoimmune-like alopecia
CD80CD86 deficiency causes hair loss by disrupting regulatory T cells.
research Bilaterally Symmetrical Alopecia With Reticulated Hyperpigmentation
A Doberman Pinscher had a rare form of autoimmune disease causing hair loss and other severe symptoms.
research Alopecia universalis successfully treated with tofacitinib
Tofacitinib helped a 19-year-old regrow hair after other treatments failed.
research Sterile neutrophilic dermatitis in a cat - a case report
