research Miniaturized hairs maintain contact with the arrector pili muscle in alopecia areata but not in androgenetic alopecia: A model for reversible miniaturization and potential for hair regrowth
Miniaturized hairs stay connected to muscle in alopecia areata, allowing possible regrowth, but not in androgenetic alopecia.
research Androgens and hair growth
Androgens can both increase and decrease hair growth in different parts of the body.
research Prostaglandin-Induced Hair Growth
Latanoprost can make eyelashes longer, thicker, and darker.
research Hair Shafts in Trichoscopy
Trichoscopy is a useful non-invasive method for diagnosing different hair loss conditions.
research The Hair Follicle: A Paradoxical Androgen Target Organ
Androgens can both promote and prevent hair growth due to differences in gene expression in hair follicles.
research Light microscopy of the hair: A simple tool to "untangle" hair disorders
Light microscopy is useful for diagnosing different hair disorders.
research Androgens trigger different growth responses in genetically identical human hair follicles in organ culture that reflect their epigenetic diversity in life
Male hormones cause different growth in identical human hair follicles due to their unique epigenetic characteristics.
research Hair loss: a clinical update
The article concludes that a thorough diagnosis and treatment plan, including medications, non-invasive methods, or surgery, is important for managing hair loss, with a combination of minoxidil and finasteride being particularly effective.
research Diagnosis and management of hair loss in children
Children's hair loss can be caused by various factors and should be treated with appropriate, age-specific methods and psychological support.
research Micrografting and Hair Transplantation Surgery
Hair transplantation is highly effective with careful technique and attention to patient needs.
research Hair and scalp disorders in ethnic populations
Different hair care practices and conditions affect African American hair and scalp health, requiring specialized knowledge for treatment.
research Photographic Imaging in Hair Loss
Photographic imaging is crucial for documenting and managing hair loss, requiring careful preparation and standardization to be effective.
research Comparison between single- versus double-spin prepared platelet-rich plasma injection in treatment of female pattern hair loss: clinical effect and relation to vascular endothelial growth factor
Both methods improve hair density and thickness; double-spin may be more effective.
research Hair, Human Evolution, and the Idea of Human Uniqueness
Human hair is unique and important for understanding human evolution and identity.
research Treatment-Induced Hair Shedding (Dread Shed) Associated with Androgenetic Alopecia Therapies
"Dread shed" is common with minoxidil but less so with other hair loss treatments.
research Viable terminal scalp hair follicles constitute a necessary and sufficient biological end‐organ that conditions clinical efficacy of finasteride in males with male pattern hair loss without implying reversal of miniaturized follicles
Finasteride works for hair loss by maintaining existing hair follicles, not reversing miniaturization.
research Human epithelial hair follicle stem cells and their progeny: Current state of knowledge, the widening gap in translational research and future challenges
We need more research to better understand human hair follicle stem cells for improved treatments for hair loss and skin cancer.
research Male pattern hair loss: current understanding
Genetics and hormones cause hair loss; finasteride treats it safely.
research Interventions for female pattern hair loss
Minoxidil effectively treats female pattern hair loss.
research A 6-month, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the ability of a marine complex supplement to promote hair growth in men with thinning hair
The marine complex supplement significantly improved hair growth in men with thinning hair without adverse effects.
research Interventions for female pattern hair loss
Topical minoxidil helps treat female pattern hair loss, but more research needed for other treatments.
research Contribution of hair density and hair diameter to the appearance and progression of androgenetic alopecia in Japanese men
Hair thickness matters more than density for baldness in Japanese men over 25.
research Hair loss at injection sites of mesotherapy for alopecia
Mesotherapy for hair loss can sometimes cause more hair loss and scarring.
research Hair follicles and their role in skin health
Hair follicles are essential for skin health, aiding in hair growth, wound healing, and immune function.
research Management of hair loss diseases
New treatments for hair loss show promise, but more development is needed, especially for tough cases.
research Embryonic-like regenerative phenomenon: wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis
New hair can grow from large wounds in mice, but less so as they age, involving reprogramming of skin cells and specific molecular pathways.
research An overview of management of drug-induced hair and nail disorders
Cooling the scalp may prevent hair loss from chemotherapy, hair often grows back after treatment, and nail issues usually improve after stopping the drug.
research Follicular Unit Hair Transplantation
Follicular Unit Transplantation is a precise hair restoration technique that requires careful planning and a skilled team, and Follicular Unit Extraction offers a less invasive option.
research Hair in health and disease: an introduction
Hair health depends on various factors and hair loss can significantly affect a person's well-being; understanding hair biology is key for creating effective hair care treatments.
