This case report detailed a 45-year-old woman with diffuse systemic sclerosis who underwent Ayurvedic treatment, leading to reduced depigmentation, new hair growth, and improved well-being over eight weeks. The findings suggest the potential efficacy of a holistic Ayurvedic approach in managing scleroderma symptoms.

In this case report, upadacitinib was used to treat a 21-year-old female with severe alopecia areata, resulting in significant hair regrowth; however, rapid hair loss recurred soon after discontinuing the drug, illustrating its potential efficacy as well as the risk of relapse upon stopping treatment.

This review discusses the potential of low-dose oral minoxidil as a safe and effective treatment for certain hair disorders, including alopecia, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, tofacitinib was reported to improve scalp hair regrowth in patients with severe alopecia areata, alopecia totalis, and alopecia universalis, showing a higher response in alopecia areata.

This study found that crosslinking buffalo gelatin with different methods can modify its properties and potential as a skin substitute, though double-crosslinking may increase immunogenicity slightly.

This case report describes a patient with alopecia universalis who had an excellent and persistent response to oral tofacitinib treatment after one year.

This study established a pluripotent stem cell line from a patient with androgenetic alopecia, which can potentially be used to study the disease's pathological mechanisms.

This study found that topical cepharanthine increased IGF-I production in human dermal papilla cells, suggesting it may stimulate hair growth and be a promising treatment option for androgenetic alopecia.

In this study, both Unani formulations tested were effective in managing Telogen Effluvium, with Itrifal Kishneezi and Roghan Amla showing slightly faster early results in reducing hair shedding, although overall efficacy between the two treatments was comparable.

This study found that a novel dietary supplement, AGA-P, when combined with minoxidil and finasteride, significantly improved the clinical efficacy of these drugs for treating mild-to-severe androgenic alopecia compared to drug treatment alone over six months.

This review discusses the substantial impact of alopecia areata on patients' health-related quality of life, highlighting issues such as personality changes, emotional and social difficulties, and a common occurrence of alexithymia, and emphasizes the need for more specific assessment tools.

This review discusses the role of gut microbiota in autoimmune and immune-mediated dermatological conditions like lupus and psoriasis, but reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize the need for further study into microbial signatures and treatments.

This study found that 808 nm laser photobiomodulation altered mitochondrial respiration and enhanced osteogenic protein expression in human dental pulp stem cells, with the effects being dose-specific and more pronounced at 15 J/cm².

This study found that women with androgenetic alopecia or alopecia areata have significantly lower serum ferritin levels than those without hair loss, suggesting a potential link between these types of alopecia and decreased iron stores.

This article is a letter to the editor about high-dose pulsed corticosteroid therapy combined with methotrexate for severe childhood alopecia areata and provides no new clinical results.

This article reports a case of rapidly progressive alopecia areata totalis in a COVID-19 patient that did not respond to treatment with tofacitinib; no new clinical results are discussed.

This article argues that the promissory discourse in the anti-ageing treatments market exploits societal anxieties about ageing, but its long-term sustainability is questionable as many promises remain undeliverable.

This study found that hyperpigmentation following contact immunotherapy for severe alopecia areata may indicate poor treatment responsiveness and aligns with characteristics of pigmented contact dermatitis.

This review explores the potential of self-amplifying RNA technology for protein replacement therapy in various health disorders but reports no new experimental results, indicating challenges remain for clinical approval.

This case report highlights that new nonscarring alopecia after transplantation may indicate chronic graft-vs-host disease, with dermatologists playing a key role in diagnosis and treatment.

This study explored using keratin extracted from human hair waste to create biodegradable bioplastic films, revealing promising potential for applications in packaging and disposable items due to their uniform surface morphology and ability to degrade with keratinophilic fungi.

This study investigated a liposomal hydrogel system for delivering minoxidil and tretinoin to treat androgenic alopecia, finding that the system enhanced skin permeation of minoxidil while retaining tretinoin on the skin and was non-irritating in animal tests, suggesting its potential effectiveness.

This study demonstrated that the biomimetic peptide PTP20 may help preserve hair pigmentation and reduce greying by enhancing melanocyte function and increasing melanin production in human hair follicles.

This article reviews the literature on the off-label use of botulinum toxin for dermatological conditions, highlighting its potential effectiveness in treating rosacea, anal fissures, Raynaud phenomenon, hypertrophic scars, keloids, and hidradenitis suppurativa.

This study found that red LED photobiomodulation significantly enhanced both the metabolic activity and proliferation of human placenta-derived pericytes, alongside increased expression of angiogenic markers, suggesting a potential non-invasive approach to aid tissue repair and vascular regeneration.

In this interventional study, researchers found that combining tretinoin cream with microdermabrasion significantly improved hair regrowth and satisfaction in alopecia areata patients compared to tretinoin alone, with notable benefits observed over eight weeks.

This review discusses the dermatological applications of botulinum toxin, including off-label uses for various skin conditions, and calls for a better understanding of underlying muscular anatomy for effective clinical practice.

This study found that Euph E and Euri A showed strong anti-inflammatory activity and modulated cytokine and immune functions in macrophages, related to specific signaling pathways.

This study found that daily use of 1% pyrithione zinc shampoo modestly improved hair growth over 26 weeks, although these effects were less than those of 5% minoxidil.
