This review discusses current anti-inflammatory treatment options for calcium pyrophosphate crystal deposition disease (CPPD) and highlights the lack of crystal-targeted therapies, emphasizing the need for more research to guide treatment.

Title change to "Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia (CCCA)"; common in African American women; hair-grooming methods may contribute; no effective therapy found; trials needed.

In this case report, a 67-year-old Thai woman exhibited isolated cheilitis due to actinic prurigo—an unusual presentation in Asian patients—successfully treated with topical hydrocortisone and sun protection, highlighting the need to consider actinic prurigo in chronic lip lesion diagnoses even with normal phototesting results.

This study concluded that intramuscular administration of medium-dose cyproterone acetate with oral ethinylestradiol is highly effective in managing hirsutism, showing better response rates than high-dose oral treatment.

This case report presents the first evidence of significant antigen presenting cells around hair follicles in a patient with alopecia due to active systemic lupus erythematosus.

In this study, researchers optimized a method for preparing platelet-rich plasma to improve light transmittance aggregometry testing in coronary artery disease patients on clopidogrel and ticagrelor, finding distinct differences in platelet aggregation and volumes among these patients compared to healthy controls.

This study found that combination therapy with diphenylcyclopropenone and anthralin was more effective for complete hair regrowth in chronic extensive alopecia areata than diphenylcyclopropenone alone, despite more common side effects.

In this study, cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) treatment in human hair follicle dermal papilla cells was associated with increased intracellular calcium retention and activated anagen-related signaling without causing significant cytotoxicity, indicating its potential impact on hair growth processes.

This article discusses central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, noting its prevalence in women of African descent and highlighting the need for further genetic research to improve treatment options; it reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the evolution and ongoing debate about the causes of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in African American women, without presenting new clinical findings.

This study found that dermatoscopy is useful for diagnosing and assessing primary cicatricial alopecias in Chinese patients, with alopecia mucinosa having a distinct feature of patulous follicular openings.

This article reviews central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, focusing on its multifactorial etiology and challenges in clinical diagnosis, and calls for more research and better treatment options.

This case report describes a 4-year-old boy with congenital alopecia characterized by complete irreversible hair loss and papular lesions associated with keratin-filled cysts.

This case report describes a 10-day-old female with aplasia cutis congenita, presenting with two spontaneously healing ulcers on her buttock and no associated abnormalities.

This study found that AP-2α and AP-2β transcription factors are crucial for maintaining adult skin homeostasis, with their inactivation in keratinocytes leading to impaired differentiation, hair abnormalities, and inflammation, highlighting their key regulatory roles.

This case report describes a 5-year-old girl with atrichia with papular lesions, whose diagnosis was confirmed through genetic testing identifying mutations in the hairless gene.

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 report describes a rare case of papular atrichia in a 4-year-old girl, highlighting the absence of effective treatment to stimulate hair growth for this condition.

This study found that 6.1% of new patients seeking PRP therapy for hair loss had undiagnosed cicatricial alopecia, highlighting the importance of proper diagnosis by trained dermatologists to optimize treatment outcomes.

This study found that artocarpin delivered via alginate/chitosan microparticles effectively suppressed the growth of hamster flank organs compared to artocarpin in solution form, without significant systemic effects.

This study in a nine-year-old boy from Lebanon identified a gene mutation (c.1066dup p.(Arg356Profs*16)) associated with a rare inborn error of immunity, characterized by craniosynostosis, jaundice, and several other symptoms, expanding the known genotypic and phenotypic spectrum of this condition.

This article reviews cell proteomic footprinting technology and its application in improving the authentication and quality control of cell-based immunotherapeutics, without providing new clinical results.

This study suggests that cold atmospheric microwave plasma treatment may promote hair renewal by activating β-catenin and YAP/TAZ signaling in human dermal papilla cells.

This report describes the use of compounded topical preparations to treat two severe psoriasis patients and calls for further studies on their regulation, protocol, and stability evaluation.

This study found significant variability among NASPAG members in diagnostic approaches for PCOS, though there was more agreement on recommended first-line therapies such as oral contraceptives and lifestyle changes.

This study found that patients with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia were less likely to report treatment improvement and more commonly associated with certain hairstyling practices compared to those with other scarring alopecias.

The project developed and tested a method using plasma rich platelets to treat hair loss.

The researchers reported that protocatechuic acid reduced melanin synthesis and enhanced antioxidant activity in cultured human hair follicle melanocytes, indicating potential for skin whitening applications.

This review discusses the diagnosis, management, and treatment options for peripheral arterial disease and does not report new clinical findings; the authors emphasize the need for early diagnosis and comprehensive management.

This study identified a cluster of genes on chromosome 17 related to hair keratin-associated proteins, including 37 genes forming seven multigene families, localized in the hair shaft's upper cortex.
