This case report describes a 67-year-old woman with frontal fibrosing alopecia and her daughter with lichen planopilaris, noting identical HLA D types which suggest a phenotypical link between these conditions.

This study identified a gene mutation in the LIPH gene associated with inherited hair loss and hair growth defects in certain populations, suggesting lipase H plays a role in hair development.

This study reports an improvement in lymphomatoid papulosis type A in a 52-year-old patient who concurrently used hormone-replacement therapy.

This article describes a unique case of lichen planopilaris with a previously unreported trigger in one of the youngest documented adult patients, without providing new clinical results or data.

This study reviewed 40 patients with scalp symptoms and identified a new variant of diffuse lichen planopilaris in 20 individuals, suggesting these conditions should be considered in similar cases.

In a study reviewing 291 patients with lichen planopilaris, findings revealed that women were more commonly affected than men, cyclosporine and methotrexate were most effective in achieving remission, and 5-alpha reductase inhibitors and systemic retinoids were particularly beneficial for frontal fibrosing alopecia.

This article discusses the characteristics of lichen planus pigmentosus and frontal fibrosing alopecia but reports no new clinical findings; the authors review existing knowledge.

In this study, researchers noted that while Poly-L-lactic acid dermal fillers boost collagen synthesis to add volume and reduce wrinkles, there is no established link between these fillers and hair loss according to existing literature.

This chapter reviews procedural hair restoration techniques, including platelet-rich plasma and hair transplantation, and reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that a novel method of isolating human follicle stem cells from hair follicles via mechanical centrifugation, without culture conditions, promises to improve hair density in patients with Androgenetic Alopecia and some cases of Alopecia Areata.

This study reports the first known case of oral lichen planus preceding lichen planopilaris in a patient, highlighting a possible sequential relationship between the conditions.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma treatments improved quality of life for patients with pattern hair loss, as measured by decreased HAIRDEX scores in several domains over 3-5 months.

This study observed four consanguineous families with congenital atrichia with papular lesions and identified three novel mutations in the hairless gene, which may contribute to the disorder.

In this case report, researchers detailed a 22-year-old Turkish woman diagnosed with autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis (ARWH/H), linked to a mutation in the LIPH gene, resulting in sparse, poorly growing, curly hair, highlighting the need for genetic consideration in similar hair conditions.

This study suggests that lichen planopilaris should be considered as a potential diagnosis in African American women with scarring alopecia, often displaying an "arrowhead" distribution pattern, which may guide treatment strategies.

This study reports that the loss of Langerhans cells in lichen planopilaris scars may be linked to the downregulation of ITG αvβ6, which is not seen in other scar formation diseases.

This paper presents a therapeutic approach with excellent results in a case of lichen planopilaris overlapping with dermatomyositis and scleroderma, although broader applicability is not discussed.

In this clinical study, low-level laser therapy using the HANDI-DOME LASER device increased hair counts by 51% compared to controls, indicating its potential as a safe and effective treatment for androgenetic alopecia in women aged 18 to 60.

This study found that FDA-approved low-level light/laser therapy devices significantly increased hair density in individuals with pattern hair loss compared to sham devices.

In this study, key histologic features such as mucinous perifollicular fibroplasia were identified to aid in the diagnosis of lichen planopilaris.

This case report in a child suggests that lichen planus pemphigoides may represent a heterogeneous group of disorders, potentially triggered by conditions like varicella.

This study found that hHbl gene expression is localized in the cortical cells of the human hair shaft and is notably high in pilomatricoma cells transitioning to hair shaft keratinocytes.

This study found that line-field confocal optical coherence tomography effectively visualized key diagnostic features of classic lichen planopilaris in real time, suggesting its potential as a valuable diagnostic tool.

In this observational study, dermoscopy was found to be a useful tool in diagnosing lichen planopilaris among patients with primary cicatricial alopecia.

This case report describes a patient with SLE and APLS who developed basaloid follicular hamartomas, which persisted despite aggressive treatment for SLE, although hair regrowth occurred.

This retrospective review found that while intralesional corticosteroids provided symptomatic improvement for lichen planopilaris, hydroxychloroquine with topical corticosteroids led to higher remission rates but did not result in visible hair regrowth.

This study established a protocol to isolate and culture dermal papilla cells from human hair follicles, suggesting alkaline phosphatase activity as a key marker to differentiate them from human fibroblasts.

In this study, the P&P Hairline Laser, a hands-free laser-assisted device, was found to produce smoother and more symmetrical hairlines compared to traditional handheld laser devices.

This case report describes a 36-year-old man who developed generalized eruptive histiocytosis on the scalp after undergoing nine platelet-rich plasma treatments for hair loss, likely triggered by injection-related trauma and inflammation.

This article reports on a typical case of lichen planopilaris with foreign-body granulomas around hair shaft material, suggesting these may be an additional criterion for diagnosing late-stage LPP/FFA.
