research Further Clinical Evidence for the Effect of IGF-1 on Hair Growth and Alopecia
IGF-1 may affect hair growth and loss, but more research is needed to confirm effective and safe treatments.
research Pediatric androgenetic alopecia: A review
Early diagnosis and treatment, like topical minoxidil, can prevent hair loss in children.
research Multiracial variations in anatomical location of the occipital artery and nerve complex: a key to avoiding injury prior to strip harvesting
Recognizing racial differences in anatomy helps make hair transplants safer.
research Trachyonychia in a child with concomitant alopecia areata and lichen planus
A boy's hair, nails, and skin improved after 6 months of steroid treatment.
research THE USE OF ESSENTIAL OILS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF DERMATO-COSMETIC PRODUCTS
Essential oils are increasingly used in cosmetics for their natural benefits but must be used carefully to avoid skin reactions.
research Subject Index
The document lists various dermatology topics, treatments, and diagnostic methods.
research The psychosocial consequences of androgenetic alopecia: a review of the research literature
Hair loss affects self-esteem and quality of life; treatments can help.
research Genetic Variation at the MC1R Locus and the Time since Loss of Human Body Hair
Humans lost body hair relatively recently in evolution.
research Pathophysiological mechanisms implicated in postpartum depression
Postpartum depression is linked to changes in brain chemicals, inflammation, stress, and certain genes, and can potentially be identified by markers like specific steroids, serotonin levels, and vitamin D levels.
research Function and underlying mechanisms of seasonal colour moulting in mammals and birds: what keeps them changing in a warming world?
Animals that change color with the seasons mainly do so in response to daylight changes, but climate change is causing camouflage problems that may require evolutionary changes.
research Protection Against Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia
No treatment fully prevents hair loss from chemotherapy yet.
research Primary cicatricial alopecia
Treatments for permanent hair loss from scarring aim to stop further loss, not regrow hair, and vary by condition, with partial success common.
research Androgenetic alopecia: An update
Minoxidil and finasteride effectively treat hair loss.
research Evaluation and diagnosis of the hair loss patient
To diagnose hair loss, use a systematic approach including history, exams, and tests.
research Trichotillomania
Clomipramine may significantly reduce hair-pulling in Trichotillomania, but more research is needed on treatments and early onset cases.
research Seasonal and social correlates of changes in hair, skin, and scrotal condition in vervet monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops) of Amboseli National Park, Kenya
Vervet monkeys show physical changes like hair loss and scrotal color changes due to stress or nutrition issues.
research Beta-caryophyllene enhances wound healing through multiple routes
Beta-caryophyllene helps improve wound healing in mice, especially in females.
research Targeted Skin Overexpression of the Mineralocorticoid Receptor in Mice Causes Epidermal Atrophy, Premature Skin Barrier Formation, Eye Abnormalities, and Alopecia
Overexpressing the mineralocorticoid receptor in mouse skin causes skin thinning, early skin barrier development, eye issues, and hair loss.
research Primary cicatricial alopecia
The document concludes that early recognition and treatment of primary cicatricial alopecia is crucial to prevent permanent hair loss.
research Imbalance of T‐helper 17 and regulatory T cells in patients with alopecia areata
People with alopecia areata have more Th17 cells and fewer Treg cells, which may be key to the condition's development.
research Recent advances in the molecular mechanisms determining tissue sensitivity to glucocorticoids: novel mutations, circadian rhythm and ligand-induced repression of the human glucocorticoid receptor
New findings explain how genetic changes, body clocks, and certain molecules affect tissue response to stress hormones.
research External light activates hair follicle stem cells through eyes via an ipRGC–SCN–sympathetic neural pathway
Light can turn on hair growth cells through a nerve path starting in the eyes.
research Feline atopic dermatitis: a retrospective study of 45 cases (2001–2012)
Cats with atopic dermatitis often have severe, year-round itching and respond well to certain treatments.
research Acne keloidalis nuchae: prevalence, impact, and management challenges
Acne keloidalis nuchae is a tough-to-treat condition that greatly affects quality of life, especially in men of African descent.
research HAIR AND SYSTEMATIC DISEASE

The guide explains how to identify and treat children's hair loss, including fungal infections, autoimmune disorders, hairstyle changes, self-correcting conditions, and behavioral therapy for hair-pulling.
research Coat condition, housing condition and measurement of faecal cortisol metabolites - a non-invasive study about alopecia in captive rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta)
Alopecia in captive rhesus macaques is affected by season, sex, age, housing, and stress, with complex links between stress hormones and hair loss.
research EEMCO Guidance for the Assessment of Hair Shedding and Alopecia
The document explains hair growth and shedding, factors affecting it, and methods to evaluate hair loss, emphasizing the importance of skin biopsy for diagnosis.
