research Intradermal injections of a hair growth factor formulation for enhancement of human hair regrowth – safety and efficacy evaluation in a first-in-man pilot clinical study
The QR 678 hair growth treatment was safe and effective for hair regrowth in men and women.
research Anatomy and Physiology of Hair
Hair is important for protection, social interaction, and temperature control, and is made of a growth cycle-influenced follicle and a complex shaft.
research The necessity of holistic approach to treatment of telogen hair loss associated with iron deficiency in women
Iron supplements and physiotherapy together can better treat hair loss in women with iron deficiency.
research Hair regrowth in male and female pattern hair loss does not involve the conversion of vellus hair to terminal hair
Hair regrowth doesn't convert thin hairs to thick hairs, but increases overall hair density.
research The Ludwig pattern of androgenetic alopecia is due to a hierarchy of androgen sensitivity within follicular units that leads to selective miniaturization and a reduction in the number of terminal hairs per follicular unit
Ludwig pattern hair loss results from varying androgen sensitivity, causing fewer thick hairs and more thin hairs.
research Alopecia areata incognita: True or false?
The authors suggest that a new type of hair loss exists, which is different from alopecia areata.
research Androgenetic alopecia. Modelling progression and regrowth
AGA causes hair loss through follicle miniaturization and hair cycle changes; regrowth depends on anagen initiation in kenogen follicles.
research The Effectiveness of 675 nm Wavelength Laser Therapy in the treatment Androgenetic alopecia among Indian patients. (Preprint)
675 nm laser therapy effectively improves hair growth in Indian patients with androgenetic alopecia.
research Phylloid terminal hair nevus: A unique clinical entity
A baby had a unique skin condition with a pale patch and surrounding dark hairs, not linked to other health issues.
research Efficacy of intramuscular injections of biotin and dexpanthenol in the treatment of diffuse hair loss: A randomized, double‐blind controlled study comparing two brands
Both brands of biotin and dexpanthenol injections improved hair loss, with Bayer also increasing the ratio of thick to thin hairs.
research The Effect of Plasma Rich in Growth Factors on Pattern Hair Loss: A Pilot Study
Treatment with plasma rich in growth factors improved hair density and thickness for hair loss patients.
research Hair anatomy for the clinician
Understanding hair follicle anatomy helps diagnose hair disorders.
research Hair Loss Physiology and Transplantation Principles
Hair loss is caused by hormonal changes that shorten hair growth phases and shrink hair follicles.
research A rare clinical image of hypertrichosis (Werewolf syndrome)
Hypertrichosis causes excessive hair growth and needs psychological support due to its impact on self-esteem.
research Structure of the sinus hair follicle in the big‐clawed shrew, Sorex unguiculatus
The big-clawed shrew's sinus hair follicles are highly specialized for sensing vibrations.
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 Topical adenosine increases thick hair ratio in Japanese men with androgenetic alopecia
Adenosine helps grow thicker hair in Japanese men with hair loss.
research The topical penta-peptide Gly-Pro-Ile-Gly-Ser increases the proportion of thick hair in Japanese men with androgenetic alopecia
GPIGS peptide increases thick hair growth in balding Japanese men.
research Penetration Profile of Microspheres in Follicular Targeting of Terminal Hair Follicles
Microspheres about 1.5 micrometers in size can best penetrate hair follicles, potentially reaching important stem cells.
research Female hair concerns with age
As women age, they experience changes in hair density and volume, face challenges in distinguishing normal hair loss from disease, and have limited access to treatments for hair issues.
research Diseases of Hair and Nails
The document says that there are treatments for hair and nail diseases.
research Patient Selection, Hair Transplant Design, and Hairstyle
Dr. Norwood's analysis highlights the need for careful patient selection and strategic hair transplant design to create a natural-looking hair density.
research Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Stromal Vascular Fraction for Hair Loss
Adipose tissue shows promise for hair regrowth, but more research is needed to confirm best practices and effectiveness.
research Cosmetics and hair and nails
Hair and nails are skin parts that develop early and serve protective and functional roles.
research Culture of the human pilosebaceous unit, hair follicle and sebaceous gland
The article concludes that developing in vitro models for human hair structures is important for research and reducing animal testing, but there are challenges like obtaining suitable samples and the models' limitations.
research Hair diameter vs. hair density in male androgenetic alopecia
Hair loss is due to thinner hairs, not less hairs; hair diameter indicates balding progression and treatment effectiveness.
research Chronic telogen effluvium: Increased scalp hair shedding in middle-aged women
Middle-aged women with chronic telogen effluvium experience increased hair shedding but usually don't get significantly thinner hair.
research Pattern Hair Loss in Men
Male pattern hair loss caused by follicular miniaturization; early diagnosis and treatment can reduce psychological burden.
research Intermediate hair follicles: a new more clinically relevant model for hair growth investigations
Intermediate hair follicles are a better model for studying hair growth and testing hair loss treatments.
