This review describes distinct trichoscopic findings for various alopecias in individuals with skin of color, but reports no new clinical results.

This study observed that the lower part of vibrissa hair roots in adult Wistar rats receives a richer blood supply and structural protection, compared to the upper part.

This study suggests that in gp91phox-knockout mice, tranexamic acid administration led to brown hair by increasing MGRN1 and collagen XVII levels, while the retention of black hair appears to rely on the gp91phox/ROS/IL-1β/TGF-β pathway.

This study documented that discoid lupus erythematosus was the most common cause of alopecia among patients at a dermatology outpatient clinic in Nigeria from 2014 to 2019.

This case report describes a rare instance of tinea capitis caused by Trichophyton tonsurans in a Chinese patient, followed by the development of herpes zoster, suggesting a potential link to immunosuppression.

This review discusses the clinical features of various types of hair loss, including both common and less common alopecias, and reports no new clinical results.

This case report identifies a 13-year-old boy with disseminated tinea incognito, emphasizing the importance of considering fungal infections when red and scaly lesions persist despite corticosteroid treatment.

In this case report, an elderly woman was diagnosed with tinea capitis and eyebrow involvement, which was initially misdiagnosed as alopecia areata, illustrating the importance of trichoscopy in correctly identifying this infection even in uncommon sites like the eyebrow.

In this proof-of-concept study, researchers found that hair grafts preserved in preconditioned autologous platelet-rich plasma with photothermal biostimulation and phosphate-buffered saline remained viable for eight hours before transplantation, outperforming saline solution and Ringer's lactate by two hours.

This study observed that in children with persistent kerion, ingrown hairs could be identified with a dermatoscope and their removal often improved the condition, suggesting that ingrown hairs might be an aggravating factor in the persistence of this fungal infection.

This study reported the presence of dermatophyte macroconidia directly in clinical samples from a 3-year-old boy with tinea capitis, marking the first time this has been documented. The infection, caused by Microsporum ferrugineum, was successfully treated with systemic itraconazole and topical ketoconazole shampoo.

This retrospective study found that among 20 pediatric patients in Rochester, MN, tinea capitis due to Trichophyton violaceum/soudanense presented with diverse scalp and body symptoms and suggested terbinafine may be more effective than griseofulvin for treatment.

This case report describes two instances of superficial dermatophytosis in neonates, highlighting the unusual occurrence and successful resolution with topical antifungal treatment.

This case report highlights that asymptomatic domestic cats can transmit Microsporum canis, leading to tinea capitis in humans, as seen in a four-year-old girl in the study.

This case report highlights the successful treatment of dermatophytosis in a Shih Tzu caused by Trichophyton rubrum, suggesting it should be considered in differential diagnoses for crusted skin lesions in dogs.

This review presents European guidelines for treating tinea capitis, noting systemic antifungals are essential, with griseofulvin preferred for Microsporum infections and newer antifungals viable for Trichophyton but often costlier.

This study found that Microsporum canis was the most prevalent dermatophyte in dogs and cats in Western Turkey, with younger animals more frequently infected than older ones.

This review discusses treatment options for tinea capitis in children and reports no new clinical results; the authors recommend newer antifungal agents in cases of griseofulvin treatment failure.

This study assessed the antioxidant properties and contents of carotenoids and chlorophylls in 10 plant oils, finding fenugreek seed oil to be highest in carotenoids and pomegranate oil most active against free radicals, highlighting their potential as natural materials with antioxidant benefits.

In these clinical cases, topical propolis treatment effectively resolved canine dermatophytosis, including hair regrowth, with no known side effects, suggesting it as a promising natural treatment option.

This study explored the wound healing potential of a natural marine soft coral-derived nanoparticle-based gel in a diabetic excision wound model, finding it effectively regulates proinflammatory cytokines and inhibits enzymes related to wound healing.

This study observed hair-specific transcription of a reporter gene in transgenic mice, with increased expression after dexamethasone and ultraviolet B treatment.

This study found that the alkaline degradation process of hair keratin using nucleophilic reagents led to different proportions of reaction products compared to wool, particularly more lanthionine and lysinoalanine residues.

This review discusses the assessment and management of common causes of pediatric alopecia, highlighting the importance of dermatologist referral for unclear diagnoses, treatment failures, or scarring alopecia, and reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the pharmacological activities and mechanisms of forsythiasides, highlighting their potential therapeutic value, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that genetic variants in the goat KRTAP22-2 gene are associated with the mean fiber diameter of cashmere in Longdong Cashmere goats, suggesting these variants could serve as molecular markers for improving cashmere traits.

In this study, researchers analyzed data from 132 hospitalized kerion patients over 11 years, mostly children under 11 from rural areas, and noted a significant male predominance and frequent animal contact as potential transmission factors.

In this literature review, researchers identified 68 African plants used in hair treatment, noting that 58 of these may also help with glucose metabolism issues, suggesting a nutritional therapy approach might explain their benefits.

This review provides a detailed overview of the causes, prevalence, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and treatment of beard alopecia, highlighting conditions such as alopecia areata, pseudofolliculitis barbae, and tinea barbae, and aims to serve as a resource for clinicians handling such cases.

This study successfully synthesized novel cercidin analogues from Cercidophyllum japonicum, confirming their structure via NMR data. The researchers suggest these compounds could facilitate future antibiotic development by advancing structure-activity-relationship studies.
