This paper proposes a new hypothesis that androgenic hair loss may be caused by changes in scalp vasculature due to androgen effects, but reports no new experimental results.

This study found that ethanol extracts of Allium tuberosum Rottler ex Spreng significantly promoted hair growth in mice, possibly by increasing IGF-1 expression.

In this study, Er:YAG laser therapy initially improved the appearance of eruptive vellus hair cysts but was ultimately ineffective due to early recurrence and concerns about atrophy or scarring.

This case report describes a 6-year-old boy with Bloom syndrome characterized by distinct facial skin changes, delayed development, and a high frequency of sister chromatid exchanges.

Hair removal methods damage the skin barrier and affect substance penetration.

This study found that corin, a protease, plays a crucial role in eccrine sweat glands by promoting sweat and salt excretion, which helps regulate electrolyte balance.

This study found that all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) inhibits mink hair follicle growth by reducing dermal papilla cell proliferation and inducing apoptosis, likely through the TGF-β2/Smad2/3 pathway.

This paper presents a protocol for differentiating human-induced pluripotent stem cells into keratinocyte progenitor cells and keratinocytes, suggesting potential applications for hair follicle restoration and burn or ulcer therapy.

Excimer laser therapy can be an alternative for treating superficial morphea when topical steroids don't work.

This study suggests that the vitamin D receptor and hairless gene may directly regulate each other via a transcriptional mechanism, potentially explaining phenotypic similarities between atrichia and VDRRIIa rickets.

This review discusses the potential of traditional Chinese medicine to relieve clinical symptoms in cases of CCS and emphasizes the need for further large-scale, long-term studies to verify these effects.

A male patient developed frontal fibrosing alopecia after antiandrogen therapy for prostate cancer.

This case report describes a 54-year-old man diagnosed with fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution, presenting with follicular inflammatory lesions and scleroatrophy on the scalp.

This review highlights the significant role of next-generation sequencing in uncovering the genetic basis of hair disorders, identifying 28 nonsyndromic conditions linked to specific genes.

This article describes erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp, emphasizing its chronic nature, potential complications, and the lack of specific diagnostic findings, but reports no new clinical results.

This report discusses two patients with erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp and highlights that a prompt response to topical steroids supports its diagnosis despite nonspecific histological findings.

This article discusses surgical innovations in scalp reduction to improve cosmetic outcomes but reports no new clinical results, emphasizing the benefits of anchor techniques for minimizing scars and stretch-back.

This study found that combining microneedling with PRP was more effective than microneedling alone for improving acne scars, with higher patient satisfaction and no significant increase in severe side effects.

This study reported that intralesional triamcinolone acetonide was more effective than intralesional PRP for treating scalp alopecia areata, with minimal recurrence and side effects like atrophy and hypopigmentation.

This study presented a case series of erosive pustular dermatosis on the scalps of elderly patients, noting unusual presentation with hypergranulation tissue and unique dermoscopic vascular patterns, diverging from typical manifestations.

This study describes a newly observed "inflammatory vellus involvement" pattern in early frontal fibrosing alopecia, which may lead to misdiagnosis due to the absence of typical histological features.

In this study, researchers identified a novel and two previously reported pathogenic mutations in the HR gene associated with atrichia with papular lesions in five Pakistani families.

This article describes the various presentations of oral lichen planus and notes it often requires topical or systemic immunosuppressive treatment for associated discomfort, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study investigated demographic and clinical characteristics of twenty-nail dystrophy in Korea, identifying differences in subtype and gender predominance between children and adults.

This case report details a 36-year-old man with atypical necrobiosis lipoidica on his face, characterized by annular lesions and prominent giant cells without clear granuloma formation.

This case study reports a patient with Rothmund-Thomson type congenital poikiloderma, showing primarily skin changes and hair loss, along with slightly elevated lysine and cystine levels in urine.

This study indicates potential differences in the hair spectra of individuals with mood disorders, suggesting a promising, yet preliminary, method for noninvasive prediagnosis.

This study observed that the SREBF1 mutation c.1669C>T (p.Arg557Cys) may act as a recurrent hotspot mutation associated with both hereditary mucoepithelial dysplasia and autosomal-dominant ichthyosis follicularis with atrichia and photophobia syndrome, suggesting they may be on the same clinical spectrum.

This review covers recent advances in prostate cancer risk assessment, diagnosis, and treatment but does not report new clinical results; further studies on androgen deprivation therapy's cardiovascular risks are particularly noted.

This case report documents two postmenopausal women with frontal fibrosing alopecia whose hair loss stabilized after treatment with topical corticosteroids, one also using minoxidil.
