This review discusses the role of the BAFF system in autoimmune diseases and highlights its therapeutic potential, emphasizing the need for disease-specific clinical trials to improve treatment strategies.

A hairless patch on a boy's scalp from birth injury improved with minoxidil treatment.

This study found that procyanidin B-3, a compound isolated from barley extract, may promote hair growth by enhancing hair epithelial cell growth and counteracting TGF-β1's growth-inhibiting effects in vitro and in vivo.

In this study, the researchers reported that activin B combined with bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells enhanced wound healing and hair follicle regeneration in rats by promoting cell migration through the ERK and JNK pathways.

This study found that low-dose UVB radiation enhances the survival, migration, and hair growth-promoting capacity of adipose-derived stem cells in mice through the generation of reactive oxygen species.

In this study, persistent ringworm infections in dairy calves appeared resistant to standard topical treatments and showed a potential risk of spreading to human attendants.

This article reports a case of a 14-month-old child with a constriction ring syndrome caused by tightly wrapped hair, highlighting the importance of early recognition and treatment to prevent serious complications.

This study found that activin B promotes the initiation and development of hair follicles in both cultured and neonatal mouse skin models.

In this study, researchers found that most patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia lacked the protective rs1800440 polymorphism in the CYP1B1 gene, suggesting its potential role in the development of this condition, while a significant number carried the rs9258883 polymorphism in HLA-B*07:02.

In this study, researchers found that using regional nerve blocks (STN and SON blocks) for anesthesia in platelet-rich plasma treatment for hair regrowth resulted in significantly less pain and better analgesia compared to the more common ring block technique.

This review discusses the widespread issue of dermatophytosis in humans and animals, particularly noting its prevalence in dogs and cats, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study conducted at LFC, Apollo College of Veterinary Medicine in Jaipur, and on local farms, 20 cattle calves with ringworm infection fully recovered after treatment with a combination of 2% povidone iodine and Whitefield ointment applied for 15 days.

This study found that ringtailed lemurs consuming leucaena in Berenty absorb mimosine, which causes alopecia without affecting body condition or organ toxicity; this may increase infant mortality due to alopecic mothers.

In this study, the authors observed that among elderly participants, 59.1% did not experience depression, correlating with measured average levels of apolipoprotein A and B. They suggest early screening can help manage apolipoprotein levels, potentially reducing depression risk and improving quality of life.

This study visualized mitochondrial metabolism in cultured bovine hair follicles and plucked human hairs, finding that ROS and mitochondrial polarization correlate in specific hair follicle regions, particularly near keratin deposition sites.

This case report describes subcutaneous emphysema in a patient's forearm as a rare complication of liquid nitrogen spray used on hypertrophic actinic keratosis, resolving spontaneously within a day.

This study reports two HIV-infected men with a rare M. canis infection unresponsive to ketoconazole and terbinafine, where itraconazole was effective but prolonged treatment led to only one cure.

This review outlines a systematic method for diagnosing hair loss and presents no new findings; the authors emphasize the importance of biopsy in cicatricial alopecia cases.

This paper reviews the diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory tinea capitis, highlighting the importance of laboratory confirmation and recommending griseofulvin as the gold standard treatment.

This study presents three cases where tinea capitis in children mimicked cicatricial alopecia and explores host and fungal factors that may influence the disease's presentation and treatment.

This structural study reports on the crystal properties of a compound used for treating alopecia, revealing different conformations and nitrogen hybridization in its piperidine rings.

This study found that seed oil of Caragana korshinskii demonstrated high antifungal efficacy against Trichophyton mentagrophytes in an in vivo guinea pig model of dermatophytosis.

Different types of alopecia in children require specific diagnoses and treatments.

In this controlled study on hair transplantation, using autologous plasma as a graft holding solution resulted in better hair follicle cell survival, hair count, and density compared to Ringer's lactate, suggesting plasma's potential to enhance hair graft outcomes.

In this study, researchers examined 1,000 South Asian patients misusing topical corticosteroids for dermatophytosis and found that this misuse resulted in atypical, chronic, and recurrent fungal infections called steroid-modified dermatophytosis, often involving extensive and atypical skin presentations.

This review examines the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of dermatophytosis (ringworm) in dogs and cats, highlighting the role of Microsporum canis and the public health implications of zoophilic dermatophytes, affecting roughly 20-25% of the global population.

This research outlines the significant morbidity and economic impact of dermatophytosis, a contagious fungal disease affecting skin, hair, and nails, with heightened severity in immune-compromised individuals and poor environmental conditions.

In this case report, an 8-year-old child with tinea capitis caused by Microsporum canis showed significant clinical and mycological improvement after a four-week course of oral griseofulvin, highlighting the importance of comprehensive diagnostic examinations to confirm the diagnosis and determine the best treatment.

This conference proceeding abstract provides no new research results, focusing only on event details from the British Association of Dermatology's Forty-Sixth Annual Meeting held in Oxford in 1966.

This study found that Atlantic croaker nuclear androgen receptors AR1 and AR2 have different binding affinities for androgens, suggesting that they may mediate distinct physiological actions in teleosts.
