In this study, photobiomodulation therapy applied twice weekly for 12 weeks significantly improved hair regrowth and quality of life in alopecia areata patients, with no noted side effects.

This study identified two novel genes, pmg-1 and pmg-2, expressed in various skin and gland tissues and potentially involved in the differentiation of epithelial cells in epidermal appendages.

This study suggests that combining microneedling with ALA-photodynamic therapy may be a promising treatment option for moderate to severe alopecia areata, achieving significant hair regrowth in some patients.

This study highlights the profound impact of alopecia areata on patients' self-esteem and identity, calling for holistic management that includes medical treatment, mental health support, and camouflage strategies to improve quality of life.

This study found that the acyl-CoA binding protein is essential for the production of very long chain free fatty acids in the stratum corneum and maintaining normal epidermal barrier function in mice.

This study found that azelaic acid entrapped in transethosomes exhibited enhanced antidermatophyte activity and improved treatment outcomes in guinea pig models of dermatophytosis compared to free azelaic acid.

This study found that adipose stem cell exosome treatment may improve hair growth and scalp rejuvenation, outperforming minoxidil and showing promise in clinical trials for hair loss, including androgenic alopecia.

This study revealed that Thai youths who are more worried about androgenetic alopecia tend to experience higher severity of the condition, poorer quality of life, and increased use of multiple hair styling products.

This study explored coping strategies recommended by individuals living with alopecia areata, identifying commonly suggested approaches such as social support, cosmetic procedures, perspective shifts, and accessing medical and psychological interventions, although these strategies were based on anecdotal recommendations.

This review discusses recent advances in understanding and treating alopecia areata, emphasizing the ongoing challenges and unmet needs in disease management; it reports no new clinical findings.

This case report describes a 6-year-old girl with IFAP syndrome who showed good improvement in cutaneous symptoms after one month of acitretin treatment.

CCCA in women of African ancestry may be caused by PADI3 gene mutations and intense hair grooming.

This study found that the Alopecia Areata Symptom Impact Scale (AASIS) is a better tool than the Alopecia Areata Quality of Life Index (AA-QLI) for assessing patient-reported outcomes in alopecia areata.

This study describes a new treatment algorithm for alopecia areata that includes both disease severity and quality-of-life considerations, highlighting recent therapeutic advances and the need for future validation and access equity.

In this study, testing Annurca apple extract on human follicle dermal papilla cells indicated its potential to prevent patterned hair loss by reducing oxidative stress and increasing factors involved in hair growth.

This study observed that GPT-4o, a generative AI model, showed high concordance with human providers in automating image-based SALT scores for assessing alopecia areata, suggesting its potential in assisting clinical evaluations without additional training.

This case report of an infant with AEC syndrome highlights the importance of early and aggressive management of ocular complications to preserve vision and reduce the risk of amblyopia.

This study found that SSEA-4 is a marker that distinguishes eccrine from apocrine ductal cells in human sweat glands, suggesting its potential use in diagnostic applications.

This study observed that pilose antler extract promoted hair growth in mice with androgenetic alopecia by stimulating the hair follicle growth cycle via the SHH/GLI pathway activation and BMP/Smad pathway suppression.

In this study, a single application of autologous cellular micrografts showed short-term favorable responses in up to two-thirds of patients with androgenetic alopecia.
