This review examines existing scientific literature on African plants with anti-cancer properties and reports no new experimental results.

This study found that Nubian ibex have developed genetic adaptations in response to their desert environment, including enhanced skin barrier, DNA repair, viral response, and metabolism of toxic compounds.

This report highlights a case of disseminated and recurrent infundibulofolliculitis in a 45-year-old African American male and underscores the importance of performing a skin biopsy for diagnosis.

This study reports the first instance of skin autotomy in mammals, specifically in African spiny mice, and suggests they may possess a greater regenerative capacity than previously understood, possibly offering insights for regenerative medicine.

This study found that traction alopecia risk was higher in adults than children and increased further when traction was combined with chemically relaxed hair.

The document concludes that diagnosing and treating Human African Trypanosomiasis is challenging, but new treatments like fexinidazole are promising.

This study reveals a high prevalence of multiple sclerosis in Africa, indicating an epidemiological shift in the region and underscoring the need for early prevention and treatment strategies.

This study developed and evaluated a photographic scale to assess CCCA pattern and severity in African American women, finding it reproducible when used by investigators and participants.

This study reviewed scalp biopsies from African-American patients, identifying distinct features and diagnostic clues for scarring alopecia types such as traction alopecia and central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia.

This case report describes alopecia areata dermoscopy in an African-American patient, revealing novel patterns such as a diffuse honeycomb-like pigmented network and white dots, suggesting skin color may affect dermoscopic findings.

This study found that adding certain conditioning agents, including jojoba oil and lauryl PEG/PPG‐18/18 methicone, to ammonium thioglycolate straightening emulsions protected Afro-ethnic hair from protein loss and improved resistance to breakage.

This study highlights a scarcity of data and treatment guidelines for vitiligo in Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America, emphasizing the need for regional epidemiological studies and tailored management approaches.

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.

This study found that alopecia significantly reduces quality of life among South African Black women, with subjective symptoms and self-image concerns having the greatest impact.

This study found that bleaching, dyeing, and UVA/Vis radiation caused significant cuticle damage and protein loss in both Caucasian and Afro-ethnic hair, highlighting the aggressive nature of these treatments.

Frontal fibrosing alopecia can affect African men and may be underdiagnosed.

This article discusses temporal triangular alopecia, emphasizing the need for increased awareness to prevent misdiagnosis and ineffective treatment, but reports no new clinical results.

This article illustrates that dermoscopy can quickly diagnose hair breakage due to intrinsic and chemical factors in patients of African descent, although published findings are limited.

This report presents a rare case of short anagen syndrome in a 38-year-old African American woman, expanding the documented demographic beyond previously reported Caucasian individuals with fine blond hair.

This conference paper reviews the use of African medicinal herbs for wound healing, emphasizing wound healing agents and their active components, but it reports no new clinical results.

This report documents the first case associating Staphylococcus simulans with dermatitis in pygmy hedgehogs.

In this study, researchers reported that a new skin-responsive FU excision device consistently succeeded in all patients of African descent, showing a mean graft transection rate of less than 10%, with skin thickness and firmness identified as major factors affecting graft attrition rate.

FUE can be successfully done on African-American hair by using larger punch tools and careful techniques to reduce hair damage.

This study reports that Lichen planus pigmentosus is present in Moroccan patients but remains challenging to treat, with only some experiencing complete resolution of lesions after therapy.

This study evaluated genetic diversity and morphological trait-associated genes in 897 animals from 14 African sheep breeds, finding the lowest genomic heterozygosity in Zulu sheep and the highest in Merino, with genetic analysis revealing associations between specific morphological traits and certain genes.

This article reports three cases of African American men with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, highlighting the need to consider this diagnosis for male patients with vertex hair loss and scalp symptoms.

This review discusses central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, emphasizing its clinical features, potential contributing factors, and treatment options, but does not report new clinical findings.

In this study involving South African breast cancer patients, researchers identified certain genetic variations in cytochrome P450 and other enzymes potentially linked to differences in tamoxifen treatment outcomes, suggesting a need for more comprehensive pharmacogenomic studies to optimize therapy in African populations.

This research outlines a protocol for a systematic review to map the evidence on alopecia areata in Sub-Saharan Africa, aiming to identify research gaps and guide future studies and policy decisions related to this condition in the region.
