research Optimizing psychological interventions for trichotillomania (hair-pulling disorder): an update on current empirical status
Cognitive-behavioral therapy is the best treatment for hair-pulling disorder, and combining it with other therapies could improve results.
research Tinea capitis mimicking cicatricial alopecia: What host and dermatophyte factors lead to this unusual clinical presentation?
Some cases of tinea capitis, a fungal scalp infection, can look like scarring hair loss due to the body's immune response and the fungus itself.
research Effects of Finasteride on Apoptosis and Regulation of the Human Hair Cycle
Finasteride affects hair growth by changing caspase and XIAP levels, potentially treating hair diseases.
research Evaluation of hair loss
Detailed patient history and physical exams are crucial for diagnosing hair loss.
research Hair and scalp disorders in women of African descent: an overview
The document concludes that clinicians should be aware of common hair and scalp disorders in women of African descent and that more research is needed to develop effective treatments.
research miR-195-5p Regulates Hair Follicle Inductivity of Dermal Papilla Cells by Suppressing Wnt/β-Catenin Activation
miR-195-5p reduces hair growth ability in cells by blocking a specific growth signal.
research The Use of Adipose-Derived Stem Cells in Selected Skin Diseases (Vitiligo, Alopecia, and Nonhealing Wounds)
Adipose-derived stem cells show promise in treating skin conditions like vitiligo, alopecia, and nonhealing wounds.
research Vertical vs. transverse sections of scalp biopsy specimens: a pilot study on the comparison of the diagnostic value of two techniques in alopecia
Transverse scalp sections are better for diagnosing non-scarring hair loss, while vertical sections are better for a specific scarring hair loss called lichen planopilaris.
research Laser Resurfacing
Newer skin resurfacing lasers reduce damage and scarring, with some approved for safe use and minimal side effects.
research The histopathology of alopecia areata in vertical and horizontal sections
Horizontal scalp biopsy sections are better for diagnosing alopecia areata, showing fewer hair follicles and more miniaturized hairs.
research Cutaneous features of myotonic dystrophy types 1 and 2: Implication of premature aging and vitamin D homeostasis
Patients with myotonic dystrophy often have skin problems that suggest early aging and vitamin D issues, and the severity of these problems is linked to their genetic condition and vitamin D levels.
research Hair casts or pseudonits
Hair casts, also called pseudonits, are often mistaken for other conditions.
research Identification of Finasteride Metabolites in Human Bile and Urine by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography/Tandem Mass Spectrometry
Finasteride breakdown products found in bile and urine, helps understand drug safety and effectiveness.
research Pre-aggregation of scalp progenitor dermal and epidermal stem cells activates the WNT pathway and promotes hair follicle formation in in vitro and in vivo systems
Grouping certain skin cells together activates a growth pathway that helps create new hair follicles.
research Histopathology of Scarring and Nonscarring Hair Loss
The conclusion is that accurate diagnosis of different types of hair loss requires careful examination of tissue samples and understanding of clinical symptoms.
research The degree of premature hair graying as an independent risk marker for coronary artery disease: a predictor of biological age rather than chronological age
Premature hair graying may be a sign of increased risk for heart disease, indicating biological age is more important than actual age.
research 3D printing of microneedle arrays for hair regeneration in a controllable region
3D-printed microneedles can precisely regrow hair in targeted areas.
research Molecular pathology of skin adnexal tumours
New markers and pathways have been found in skin tumors, helping better understand and diagnose them.
research Establishment and characterization of five immortalized human scalp dermal papilla cell lines
Researchers created five new human scalp cell lines that could be useful for hair growth and loss research.
research An ethnopharmacological and historical analysis of “Dictamnus”, a European traditional herbal medicine
The document concludes that "Dictamnus" has a rich cultural history and potential as a herbal medicine, warranting more research into its effects and safety.
research Pigmented Casts
Pigmented casts are common in several hair loss conditions and can help diagnose specific types of alopecia.
research Advances in the Study of Stem-Cell-Enriched Hair Follicle Bulge Cells: A Review Featuring Characterization and Isolation of Human Bulge Cells
Scientists have made progress in understanding hair follicle stem cells, identifying specific genes and markers, and suggesting their use in treating hair and skin conditions.
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 Topical nitrogen mustard in the treatment of alopecia areata: a bilateral comparison study
Nitrogen mustard was not very effective for hair regrowth in alopecia areata and has potential skin cancer risk.
research Trichotillomania
Trichotillomania, a disorder where people compulsively pull out their own hair, often starts around age 12, is more common in adult females, and can be treated with behavior therapy and medication.
research Low-level laser treatment stimulates hair growth via upregulating Wnt10b and β-catenin expression in C3H/HeJ mice
Low-level laser treatment helps mice grow hair by increasing certain protein levels linked to hair growth.
research CD133-positive dermal papilla-derived Wnt ligands regulate postnatal hair growth
Wnt proteins from certain skin cells are crucial for normal hair growth and renewal.
