Alopecia areata (AA) is a common cause of non-cicatricial hair loss It is the second-most frequent non-scarring alopecia, after androgenic alopecia. The prevalence of the disease is 0.2% in the general population with higher prevelance in younger (21-40 years of age) patients but no significant difference in incidence between males and females. Several treatment options such as corticosteroids, anthralin, topical minoxidil, immunotherapy, and systemic therapy are commonly used with varying response . Unfortunately the traditional treatment options are frequently disappointing Available treatments may induce regrowth but do not modify the disease course . Methotrexate (MTX) is a folic acid analog that binds to the dihydrofolate reductase enzyme, blocking the formation of tetrahydrofolate and so inhibits purine and pyrimidine metabolism and consequently nucleic acid synthesis. It acts as an immunosuppressant used in the treatment of several skin diseases Systemic MTX has been used in the treatment of AA, with satisfactory results. Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that utilizes multiple fine needles to create micropunctures in the skin.The act of creating these two to four cell-wide puncture holes triggers neovascularization, release of growth factors, and stimulates the expression of Wnt proteins. it has specifically been demonstrated to increase hair regrowth in alopecia via the release of platelet-derived growth factor, epidermal growth factors and activation of the hair bulge, all of which are triggered by the wound healing response .Increased expression of Wnt proteins, namely Wnt3a and Wnt10b, is also evident following microneedling. These particular proteins have been demonstrated to stimulate dermal papillae stem cells and hair growth.
The purpose of this prospective study is to assess the ability of AMMA to prevent hair loss in women receiving chemotherapy (CT) for early-stage breast cancer. Additionally, the purpose is also to assess the safety, tolerability and compliance, quality of life, and satisfaction with hair preservation after CT treatment.
The purpose of this pilot study is to determine if azelaic acid shows potential to be an effective treatment for Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia (CCCA). In this study, the aim is to compare azelaic acid vs placebo since azelaic acid may increase anti-inflammatory effects that affect the hair growth cycle.
Pattern hair loss, also called androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is considered the most common cause of hair loss in both males and females affecting approximately 85% of males and 50% of females over 50 years of age.
Treatment of alopecia using the injections of cultured stem cells from human hair follicles,(which contain epithelial and mesenchymal cells stem cell)
This is a First-in-Human phase I study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic characteristics of MAX-40070 in Healthy SubjectThe study will be comprised of 2 parts; Part A and Part B. Part A will be conducted at NZCR, and Part B will be conducted at both NZCR and another site(s) in China (if required). Part A will include approximately 48 participants, and Part B will include approximately 30 participants.
This is a comparative retrospective study of the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma injections and injections with commercial products advertised to promote hair regrowth for patients with androgenetic alopecia.
the investigators intend to analyze the microbiome in the diseased areas, healthy skin and fecal samples. In addition, the investigators plan to evaluate how the fecal transplant can influence the severity of the disease and hair growth, all in hope that fecal transplant can help to treat or even cure AA. This may help dermatologists in the future and expand the treatment options for AA.
Alopecia areata is a polygenic autoimmune disease causing hair loss, particularly during the anagen phase of hair growth This condition has a lifetime risk of about 2.1% of the world population and the cumulative incidence seems to rise linearly with age . Patchy non scarring hair loss on the scalp is the most common clinical presentation, although it can also occur elsewhere . In addition to patchy Alopecia Areata , a more severe form, alopecia totalis , presents with diffuse hair loss across the scalp. In the most severe form, alopecia universalis , hair loss occurs on all areas of the body, including the beard, eyelashes, and extremities .
