Summary
This bibliometric analysis reveals global research trends in female pattern hair loss (FPHL), highlighting key topics like treatment efficacy, safety, and underlying mechanisms. Future studies should focus on diagnostics and risk factors for FPHL.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology and Trichology
- Bibliometrics and Scientometrics
- Medical Research Trends
Background:
- Female pattern hair loss (FPHL) is a prevalent condition with substantial psychosocial effects.
- Understanding global research patterns is crucial for advancing FPHL studies.
- Existing research on FPHL requires comprehensive trend analysis.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a bibliometric analysis of FPHL research from 1957 to 2024.
- To identify key trends, influential researchers, and evolving research themes in FPHL.
- To map the global research landscape and publication output in FPHL.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric analysis of 488 FPHL publications (1957-2024).
- Data sourced from Web of Science Core Collection.
- Analysis performed using VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and R 'bibliometrix' package.
Main Results:
- USA leads in FPHL publications and citations, followed by China and South Korea.
- Key research areas include mechanisms, management, and safety of FPHL.
- Emerging topics include scalp health, genetic associations, and telogen effluvium.
Conclusions:
- Global FPHL research concentrates on treatment efficacy, safety, and mechanisms.
- Future FPHL research should prioritize accurate diagnostics and risk factor identification.
- This analysis provides insights into the FPHL research landscape and future directions.

01:20Accessory Structures of the Skin: Hair Growth and Types
1.6K
Hair growth begins with the production of keratinocytes by the basal cells of the hair bulb. As new cells are deposited at the hair bulb, the hair shaft is pushed through the follicle toward the surface. Keratinization is completed as the cells are pushed to the skin surface to form the shaft of hair that is externally visible. The external hair is completely dead and composed entirely of keratin. Hair can be cut or shaven without damaging the hair structure because the cut is superficial. Most...

3.8K
A hair follicle or HF is a small part of the skin that produces the hair shaft. Paul Gerson Unna was the first to observe a bulge in the human hair follicle's outer root sheath (ORS). The bulge is present between the sebaceous gland and the arrector pili muscle and is the niche for hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs). The bulge is also a niche for melanocyte stem cells, and their loss results in graying of hair. The HFSCs express Sox9 and Lhx2, which help them maintain stemness and prevent...

Hair and hair follicles are integral components of the integumentary system. Hair is a filamentous structure composed mainly of a protein called keratin. It is found on the surface of the skin throughout the body, except for areas such as the palms of the hands and soles of the feet.
Hair is a keratinous filament growing out of the epidermis. It is primarily made of dead, keratinized cells. Hair strands originate at the epidermal penetration called the hair follicle. The hair shaft is the part...

01:28Menopause
251
Menopause, a natural biological process marking the end of a woman's fertility, typically occurs between the fifth and sixth decade of life. This phase is characterized by the exhaustion of the ovarian follicle pool, leading to less responsive ovaries despite the high levels of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH). The consequential decrease in estrogen production results in symptoms like hot flashes, heavy sweating, headaches, hair loss, muscle pains, vaginal...

01:28Infertility in Females
404
Female infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after a year of regular, unprotected intercourse and affects about 10–15% of couples worldwide. The primary cause of female infertility is ovulatory disorders, which hinder the release of eggs. These disorders can be classified as hypothalamic amenorrhea, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), premature ovarian failure, and hyperprolactinemic anovulation disorders.

1.1K
Folliculogenesis is the development of ovarian follicles, the specialized structures within the ovarian cortex where oogenesis, or egg development, occurs. This process is essential for female reproductive health and begins during fetal development when primordial follicles are formed. Each primordial follicle comprises a primary oocyte in the center, surrounded by a single layer of squamous pre-granulosa cells. These follicles remain dormant in late prophase I of meiosis until triggered by...
