This case report documents a successful response to griseofulvin and prednisolone treatment in a 12-year-old boy with lichen planopilaris, characterized by patchy hair loss and distinct skin changes.

This review reported that various nonsurgical treatments, like cryosurgery, photodynamic therapy, and topical medications, offer effective alternatives for basal cell carcinoma management, especially when surgery is unsuitable, and treatment decisions should consider tumor characteristics and patient preferences.

In this case report, a 74-year-old woman initially diagnosed with androgenetic alopecia was later found to have secondary alopecia neoplastica due to morpheaform basal cell carcinoma of the scalp, illustrating the importance of recognizing subtle clinical features to prevent delayed treatment and potential local destruction.

Vitiligo causes white skin patches and is linked to autoimmune issues.

595 nm pulsed dye laser is a cost-effective treatment for nonmelanoma skin cancer with a low recurrence rate.

In this study, the researchers observed that inducing and then withdrawing β-catenin expression in a bigenic mouse model caused reversible changes in skin morphology, indicating dependence on β-catenin signaling.

This study discusses the safety, complications, and limitations of melanocyte transplantation for treating vitiligo, noting that these techniques are generally safe and often combined with medical treatments for repigmenting stable vitiligo macules.

This review discusses how epidermal Langerhan's cells and dermal cells may influence keratinocyte environments, potentially aiding in the formation of stem cell niches and cellular variety in the basal layer, without providing novel results.

An intact skin barrier is crucial to prevent infection in cases of tether-induced tenosynovitis.

Lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia are likely the same disease with different clinical appearances.

In this study, researchers found that YAP and TAZ, when localized in the nucleus of basal layer cells, are crucial for skin regeneration and hair growth, with their loss leading to slower cell proliferation, hair loss, and impaired wound healing in mice.

In this study, application of salicylic acid solution on mouse skin showed histologic changes without causing wounds or inflammation, observed immediately and up to 48 hours after treatment.

This review discusses Wnt signaling pathways in skin development and stem cell regulation, highlighting potential interactions with other pathways but reports no new findings.

Different scalp conditions can lead to hair loss or tumors, with treatments varying from creams to surgery; early detection is crucial.

This article discusses the extended theory of selective photothermolysis and does not report new clinical results; the authors explore potential applications in hair removal techniques.

In a keratinocyte-specific knockout mouse model, this study found that deleting GRK2 disrupted hair follicle homeostasis, causing cyst-like structures, abnormal growth patterns, and eventual hair loss, suggesting potential links to immune-mediated alopecias.

This review summarizes late-breaking abstracts from the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery, 2018, and reports no new clinical findings.

This study observed that epidermal growth factor and fibroblast growth factor have distinct roles in sheep skin, with EGF involved in differentiation and FGF in bulb proliferation and fiber growth.

Photodynamic therapy was effective in treating multiple scalp basal cell carcinomas with minimal side effects and good cosmetic results.

This study observed that basal cell carcinoma on the scalp shares more similar characteristics with truncal lesions than facial lesions, despite the scalp's proximity to the face.

This study found that vismodegib was effective in treating basal cell carcinoma, achieving complete remission in some patients; however, significant side effects often required careful management to prevent therapy suspension, which can lead to resistance.

This review discusses the development of targeted therapies for basal cell carcinoma that interfere with Hedgehog signaling and reports no new research findings.

This review examines the interaction between hedgehog and Wnt/β-catenin signalling in hair follicles and basal cell carcinoma, linking Hh pathway inhibition to both tumor regression and alopecia.

This study demonstrates that YAP and TAZ are essential for initiating basal and squamous cell carcinomas in mice, and suggests targeting these pathways could be beneficial for treating skin cancers.

This study created a detailed spatial atlas of healthy human skin and basal cell carcinoma, revealing a potential hair follicle origin for basal cell carcinoma and expansion of certain mesenchymal cell populations.

This study found that low-level laser therapy (LLLT) may enhance hearing recovery after noise-induced hearing loss in rats.

This review explores the clinical characteristics, risk factors, and treatment challenges of scalp basal cell carcinoma, noting its potential aggressiveness and difficulty in treatment, but reports no new clinical results.

This review explores recent insights into how intrinsic gene oscillations and molecular interactions in hair follicle stem cells contribute to their regenerative potential, with potential implications for regenerative medicine, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that epidermal stem cells in nonglabrous skin are connected to the distal end of the arrector pili muscle, which may play a role in epidermal renewal and wound healing.

This article reviews the biological and physical principles of laser hair removal and reports that current laser systems do not consistently achieve permanent hair follicle destruction across treated areas.
