research The genetically programmed hair growth cycle and alopecia: what is there to know?
The document concludes that hair loss is complex, affects many people, has limited treatments, and requires more research on its causes and psychological impact.
research A New Classification of Male Pattern Baldness and a Clinical Study of the Anterior Hairline
Researchers created a new system to classify male baldness, finding six types and a common hairline shape, to improve hair loss treatments.
research Is there a pathogenetic link between frontal fibrosing alopecia, androgenetic alopecia and fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution?
Frontal fibrosing alopecia and androgenetic alopecia may be related, with a possible shared cause.
research 072 Covid-19 and male androgenetic alopecia: Systematic investigation of a potential epidemiological and genetic association
No significant link between male pattern baldness and severe Covid-19, but some shared biological pathways exist.

Scalp pain is a common symptom in people with active hair loss from telogen effluvium.
research Dihydrotestosterone-Inducible IL-6 Inhibits Elongation of Human Hair Shafts by Suppressing Matrix Cell Proliferation and Promotes Regression of Hair Follicles in Mice
IL-6 contributes to hair loss by shortening the growth phase and causing hair follicles to regress.
research Natural hair patterns
Surgeons need to understand natural hair patterns for better hair restoration results.
research Clinical and Trichoscopic Study of Tinea Capitis versus Alopecia Areata in Pediatric Patients
Dermoscopy can quickly and reliably distinguish Tinea Capitis from Alopecia Areata by identifying specific hair patterns.
research KERATIN 17-related recessive atypical pachyonychia congenita with variable hair and tooth anomalies
A new type of pachyonychia congenita linked to a specific keratin gene mutation was found in two Pakistani families.
research Variation in male sex hormone levels among the pattern subtypes of hair loss in patients with androgenetic alopecia
Different hair loss patterns may be linked to varying male hormone levels.
research Time-course RNA-seq analysis reveals stage-specific and melatonin-triggered gene expression patterns during the hair follicle growth cycle in Capra hircus
Melatonin affects gene expression in goat hair follicles, potentially increasing cashmere production.
research Stem cell activity shapes the pleiotropic effects of IFN-γ and TGF-β in autoimmune diseases, infections, and cancer, and drives autoimmune flares and remissions
Stem cell activity influences autoimmune disease outcomes by affecting immune responses and tissue regeneration.
research Characterization of X-Linked SNP genotypic variation in globally distributed human populations
The research concluded that selection significantly shaped the genetic variation of the X chromosome, with certain regions affected by past selective events.
research Scalp Lifting
Scalp lifting surgery can safely and effectively reduce baldness if done with careful planning and proper technique.
research Surgical hair restoration
Surgical hair restoration involves moving hair from a non-balding area to a balding area, with the transplanted hair not subject to male pattern baldness. Medications can slow hair loss and regrow some hair, but successful treatment needs careful planning, skill, and ethical responsibility due to progressive hair loss and limited donor hair.
research Postmenopausal virilization after spousal use of topical androgens
A woman developed male traits from accidental contact with her husband's testosterone gel.
research Guidelines on Hair Restoration for East Asian Patients
Hair restoration for East Asians should consider their unique characteristics like head shape, hair thickness, and hair density, and use modified procedures and treatments to minimize scarring and maintain hair density.
research Lichen planopilaris
Lichen planopilaris is a rare, chronic condition causing hair loss, mainly in middle-aged women, and early treatment is important to prevent permanent baldness.
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 Study on Hair Distribution in Healthy Males for Hair Restoration Design
About 21.3% of young, healthy Chinese men experience hair loss. Hairlines are mostly linear or have a central protrusion. Hair is densest on the top and back of the head, and hair follicles usually have 1 or 2 hairs. This information can help in designing hair restoration procedures.
research Prevalence of Type II diabetes mellitus and insulin resistance in parents of women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Parents of women with PCOS have a higher risk of Type II diabetes and insulin resistance, especially fathers.
research Mutations in the Desmoglein 4 Gene Are Associated with Monilethrix-like Congenital Hypotrichosis
Mutations in the DSG4 gene can cause a rare hair disorder similar to monilethrix.
research Philosophy and technique in hair restoration surgery
