research Clinical presentations of alopecia areata
Alopecia areata causes varying hair loss patterns, affecting hair, nails, and possibly glands, with treatment outcomes depending on disease duration and extent.
research USE OF RICE WATER (Oryza Sativa) & HIBISCUS (Hibiscus Rosa- sinensis)
Rice water and hibiscus can help improve hair health and growth.
research Androgenetic alopecia: An autosomal dominant disorder
Hair loss in androgenetic alopecia is caused by genetic factors and androgen excess, and can be treated with combined therapies.
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.
research Systematic review of low-level laser therapy for adult androgenic alopecia
Low-level laser therapy can stimulate hair growth more effectively than fake devices, but patient satisfaction is similar for both. Results should be taken with caution due to small study sizes and differences between studies. More research is needed.
research Hirsutism and virilization
Excessive hair growth in women can be harmless or signal serious health issues, and treatment often includes medication and hair removal, with noticeable results after 3-6 months.
research Coenzyme Q10 phospholipidic vesicular formulations for treatment of androgenic alopecia:ex vivopermeation and clinical appraisal
Coenzyme Q10 vesicular formulations can potentially treat androgenic alopecia by promoting hair growth and thickness.
research Clinicopathological characteristics and treatment outcomes of fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution: A retrospective cohort study
Early treatment of fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution may improve outcomes.
research Ectodysplasin-A2 induces dickkopf 1 expression in human balding dermal papilla cells overexpressing the ectodysplasin A2 receptor
A protein called ectodysplasin-A2 increases a hair growth inhibitor in balding cells, which could be a target for hair loss treatment.
research The evaluation and treatment of androgen excess
High androgen levels can cause excessive hair growth and may indicate serious health issues, including heart disease and fertility problems.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Androgenetische Alopezie beim Mann . Male androgenetic alopecia
Male androgenetic alopecia involves hair follicle miniaturization due to DHT, with potential treatments using inhibitors and blockers.
research Comparative efficacy of oral dutasteride and low-, medium-, and high-dose oral minoxidil: a six-month prospective trichoscopic and clinical study
Oral minoxidil improved hair loss more than oral dutasteride.
research Alpha Smooth Muscle Actin role in Androgenetic Alopecia Pathogenesis:
Reduced alpha smooth muscle actin may cause hair loss in androgenetic alopecia.
research In This Issue
Advancements in hair biology include new treatments and tools for hair growth and alopecia.
research Scalp Dermatoscopic Findings in Androgenetic Alopecia and Their Relations with Disease Severity
Scalp dermatoscopy helps diagnose and monitor hair loss severity.
research Non-scarring patchy alopecia in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus differs from that of alopecia areata
Hair loss in lupus is different from hair loss in alopecia areata and may indicate lupus activity.
research Polycystic ovarian syndrome
PCOS is a complex disorder managed by treating symptoms and requires a team of specialists.
research Topical Minoxidil-Loaded Nanotechnology Strategies for Alopecia
Nanotechnology improves minoxidil treatment for hair loss.
research Platelet-rich Plasma and Cell Therapy
PRP and cell therapies may help with hair loss, but more research is needed.
research A study of serial vertical sectioning of scalp biopsies to increase the histological diagnostic yield in alopecias
Cutting scalp biopsies in consecutive slices improves diagnosis of hair loss conditions.
research The ‘bald’ phenotype (androgenetic alopecia) is caused by the high glycaemic, high cholesterol and low mineral ‘western diet’
Western diet may cause male pattern baldness; low glycemic diet with magnesium could help.
research Platelet-Rich Plasma in the Management of Alopecia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Clinical Evidence
Activated PRP effectively increases hair density and reduces hair loss in alopecia.
research Androgens and alopecia
Male hormones, particularly DHT, are linked to male pattern hair loss, and treatments like finasteride can help, but they don't work for postmenopausal women's hair loss, which may have different causes.
research Tangled Causes, Targeted Solutions: A Comprehensive Review of Alopecia.
Alopecia is caused by various factors, and new treatments like gene editing and regenerative medicine offer hope for personalized hair regrowth solutions.
research The logic of follicular unit transplantation
The document concludes that follicular unit transplantation offers more natural results and better graft survival than older hair transplant methods.
research Microneedles mediated bioinspired lipid nanocarriers for targeted treatment of alopecia
A new hair loss treatment uses tiny needles to deliver a drug-loaded lipid carrier, promoting hair growth more effectively than current treatments.
research Alopecia: A Pathologist's View
The review concludes that accurate diagnosis of different types of hair loss requires proper biopsy techniques and understanding the hair growth cycle and underlying causes.
research Diagnostic accuracy measures for vertical and transverse scalp biopsies in cicatricial and non-cicatricial alopecias
Transverse scalp biopsies are more accurate for diagnosing non-cicatricial alopecia, but examining both types is best for accuracy.
