research Platelet-rich plasma in dermatology: Boon or a bane?
Platelet-rich plasma might help with hair growth and skin conditions, but more research is needed to prove its effectiveness and safety.
research Neurosteroids, neuroactive steroids, and symptoms of affective disorders
Certain steroids in the brain affect mood and symptoms of depression, and treatments targeting these steroids show promise for improving these symptoms.
research Beyond vitiligo guidelines: combined stratified/personalized approaches for the vitiligo patient
Personalized treatment plans improve vitiligo care.
research Finasteride Treatment of Hair Loss in Women
Finasteride may help some women with hair loss, but better options exist.
research Cause of Androgenic Alopecia
Male pattern baldness may be caused by scalp pressure on hair follicles, which increases with age and leads to a cycle of hair loss. This process is not directly determined by genes.

Certain compounds, especially those with a propionic substituent, could potentially be new treatments for hair loss and similar disorders.
research Intermittent Chronic Telogen Effluvium
Emotional stress can trigger intermittent hair loss in chronic telogen effluvium, which may not improve with treatment if stress continues.
research Molecular Genetics of Alopecias
Scientists have found specific genes linked to different hair loss conditions, which could lead to new treatments.
research Case report of Schöpf–Schulz–Passarge syndrome resulting from a missense mutation, p.Arg104Cys, in WNT 10A
A new gene mutation caused a man's rare skin condition, Schöpf-Schulz-Passarge syndrome.

research The evaluation of IL-4 intron 3 VNTR and TNF-α (rs1799964) gene polymorphisms in Egyptian patients with Alopecia Areata: a case-control study
These specific gene polymorphisms are not linked to Alopecia Areata in Egyptians.
research Functional complexity of hair follicle stem cell niche and therapeutic targeting of niche dysfunction for hair regeneration
Understanding how hair follicle stem cells work can help find new ways to prevent hair loss and promote hair growth.
research Immune cell regulation of the hair cycle
Immune cells affect hair growth and could lead to new hair loss treatments.

Loneliness reduces academic enthusiasm in students.
research Study of Skin Expression of MicroRNA-146a in Patients with Alopacia Areata
Higher levels of miR-203 may contribute to hair loss in alopecia areata.
research Reclassification of Botryococcus braunii chemical races into separate species based on a comparative genomics analysis
Botryococcus braunii's three chemical races should be reclassified as separate species.
research Epigenetic control of adult stem cell function
Epigenetic changes control how adult stem cells work and can lead to diseases like cancer if they go wrong.
research Tregs: Where We Are and What Comes Next?
The conclusion is that Treg-targeted therapies have potential, but more knowledge of Treg biology is needed for effective treatments, including for cancer.
research Generation of folliculogenic human epithelial stem cells from induced pluripotent stem cells
Scientists created stem cells that can grow hair and skin.
