In this study, researchers developed a relatively simple punch assay for regenerating hair follicles using mouse or human cells, finding efficient hair formation with mouse cells but low efficiency with human cells on reconstituted human skin.

This case study reports the first known instance of isolated sub-acute cutaneous lupus erythematosus potentially induced by long-term nitrofurantoin therapy, with effective treatment using topical steroids and hydroxychloroquine.

This article reviews trichoscopic techniques for diagnosing common hair loss conditions and presents a revised algorithm for identifying specific features of cicatricial and noncicatricial alopecia, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses female pattern hair loss as distinct from androgenetic alopecia and suggests that clinicians use tools like dermoscopy and histopathology for more accurate diagnosis, without reporting new findings.

This study found that seasonal changes significantly affected hair follicle activity and fibre growth in Merghoz goats, with variations seen in feed intake and growth patterns across different seasons.

This case report describes a patient with eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome who experienced severe, persistent telogen effluvium.

This study reported a previously undescribed form of hereditary hypotrichosis in a family, characterized by childhood-onset hair loss, morphea, and probable autosomal dominant inheritance.

This study describes a case where metoprolol was associated with reversible telogen effluvium, suggesting a similar mechanism of alopecia as seen with other beta-adrenoceptor antagonists.

This article discusses the evaluation and management of common nonscarring hair loss conditions and reports no new clinical results.

This study determined that trichoscopy is a sensitive and specific tool that effectively aids in diagnosing alopecia in women, especially when clinical diagnosis is uncertain.

This study found that naked hair shafts significantly increased in cicatricial alopecias compared to non-cicatricial types, suggesting their potential use in diagnosing cicatricial alopecia.

This case report highlights a rare presentation of acute lupus hemophagocytic syndrome with initially negative antinuclear antibodies, underscoring the higher sensitivity of the 2012 Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics criteria for diagnosis.

This prospective study in Morocco reported on 20 cases of frontal fibrosing alopecia, finding that dermoscopy played a key role in diagnosing and managing the condition, which can increasingly affect premenopausal women.

This commentary discusses the mechanisms of progression and potential regrowth in androgenetic alopecia, indicating that the initiation of anagen in kenogen follicles is more critical for hair density improvement than reversing follicle miniaturization.

This article describes a rare case of syringomas on the scalp in a 56-year-old woman with alopecia, highlighting the importance of scalp biopsy for diagnosing atypical neoplastic lesions and associated conditions.

Congenital triangular alopecia can occur outside the typical fronto-temporal region.

This report describes a case of temporary hair loss due to telogen effluvium after rhytidectomy, suggesting dermatologic surgeons consider preventive measures to minimize trauma and tension on hair follicles during surgery.

This article discusses three controversial hair growth disorders but reports no new research findings; it explores alopecia areata incognita, pseudopelade of Brocq, and psoriasis-linked alopecia.

This study found that multiple eccrine duct dilation is highly specific for diagnosing cicatricial alopecia and may indicate scarring processes, aiding in accurate differential diagnosis from noncicatricial alopecias.

In this study, a single deslorelin acetate implant led to substantial and sustained hair regrowth in two sexually intact male keeshonden with hair cycle arrest.

This review discusses the diagnosis of canine hypothyroidism, focusing on its clinical signs, diagnostic markers, and distinctive skin biopsy findings, but reports no new research results.

This case report describes a 45-year-old woman with diffuse nonscarring alopecia characterized by hair thinning, increased catagen/telogen follicles, and mild inflammatory infiltrate, highlighting the diagnostic findings via scalp dermoscopy and biopsy.

This case report highlights a patient whose essential syphilitic alopecia was the only symptom of syphilis, which improved after benzathine penicillin treatment, emphasizing alopecia as a potential sign of syphilis.

This case report describes irreversible alopecia universalis following discontinuation of Peg-IFN/RBV treatment for chronic hepatitis C, highlighting potential autoimmune side effects of interferon-based therapies.

This study suggests that using ex vivo dermatoscopy can improve the accuracy of scalp biopsy processing by correctly guiding tissue bisection and potentially reducing laboratory costs and turnaround time.

Telogen Effluvium is a hair loss condition where treatment involves identifying and managing its triggers.

This commentary disputes Beckett et al.'s conclusion that boron exposure causes reversible alopecia, suggesting instead that alopecia areata is a more plausible cause based on patient histories and typical clinical features.

Examining scalp biopsies in different ways helps better diagnose hair loss types.

This case report describes a 70-year-old woman whose acquired ichthyosis resolved and darker hair regrew after removing a leiomyosarcoma, highlighting a possible association between the two conditions.

This study concluded that noninvasive imaging techniques offer potential benefits in managing scalp conditions by potentially reducing the need for biopsies and minimizing patient morbidity, each technique having unique advantages and limitations for specific conditions.
