This study found that in Liaoning cashmere goats, the BMP4 gene shows increased transcription from the anagen stage to telogen, and higher gene methylation correlates with reduced expression in skin tissue.

Combining low-level laser therapy with topical corticosteroids effectively improved Lichen Planopilaris symptoms.

In this case report, a 53-year-old woman with Little-Graham-Piccardi-Lassueur-Syndrome responded well to a treatment regimen of hydroxychloroquine, methotrexate, and other therapies, effectively halting the progression of this rare dermatosis characterized by alopecia and hyperkeratotic eruptions.

This report presents two cases of Berardinelli–Seip syndrome, emphasizing the role of genetic analysis and comprehensive care in managing the variability and complications of this rare condition.

This case report found that a novel botanical treatment halted disease progression and promoted hair regrowth in four patients with lichen planopilaris, indicating potential for use as a safe alternative therapy.

This study found that the acyl-CoA binding protein is essential for the production of very long chain free fatty acids in the stratum corneum and maintaining normal epidermal barrier function in mice.

This study identified a novel mutation and confirmed a previous mutation in the LIPH gene in a woman with autosomal recessive woolly hair, expanding the mutation spectrum for this condition.

This study found that combining bone marrow aspirate concentrate with platelet-rich plasma significantly improved wound healing in mice compared to other treatments.

In this study, researchers developed de novo designed hetero-bifunctional proteins as an alternative approach for targeted protein degradation, successfully targeting BCL-xL for degradation in cells and inducing apoptosis, which may expand the range of addressable E3 ligases and disease targets.

This study reported that specific inhibition of the classical complement pathway with BIVV009 prevented C3 deposition along the dermal-epidermal junction in bullous pemphigoid, reflecting its potential efficacy.

This report describes a rare case of scarring alopecia, diagnosed as lichen planopilaris (LPP), affecting solely the limbs, highlighting the necessity for thorough evaluation of LPP beyond the scalp.

In this study, BP201, derived from porcine lung phospholipids, promoted hair growth in mice, especially when combined with minoxidil, and increased hair follicle numbers and dermal papilla cell proliferation.

This study reported that the absence of Lsh in skin led to significant epidermal hyperplasia and altered gene expression, suggesting its crucial role in regulating epidermal proliferation, differentiation, and wound healing.

This review discusses newly identified non-Edg family lysophosphatidic acid receptors, detailing their roles in vascular development, platelet activation, and hair growth, and reports no clinical results.

This study found that patients with lichen planus had significantly higher levels of triglycerides, total cholesterol, and LDL-C, and lower HDL-C compared to healthy controls, suggesting an association with dyslipidaemia.

This study found that patients with lichen planopilaris exhibit a higher pro-atherogenic lipid profile and elevated atherogenic indexes, suggesting a need for increased cardiovascular and lipid monitoring in these individuals.

This study reviewed cases of Graham–Little-Piccardi–Lassueur syndrome and found that topical treatments were generally ineffective, while systemic therapies like prednisone, hydroxychloroquine, and isotretinoin led to partial hair regrowth and disease stabilization, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and systemic therapy to improve outcomes.

This article introduces the Progressive Loss (PL) Scale, aimed at helping physicians communicate the long-term cosmetic risks of hair restoration surgery to patients.

This study reports that the loss of Langerhans cells in lichen planopilaris scars may be linked to the downregulation of ITG αvβ6, which is not seen in other scar formation diseases.

This review discusses the pathophysiologic role of lysophosphatidic acid in the skin and reports no clinical results, suggesting pharmacological inhibition as a potential treatment for various skin disorders.

This letter to the editor discusses the natural course of epidermolysis bullosa simplex with mottled pigmentation in a Japanese family but does not present new clinical results.

This study found that the revised BASP classification for pattern hair loss, which addresses certain limitations of the original, could serve as an alternative option despite a decrease in clinical accuracy and ease of use.

This phase II trial found that BI 2536 demonstrated limited antitumor activity across five solid tumor types, with no confirmed objective responses observed.

This study identified 15 Iranian patients with PLEC variants linked to various plectinopathies and highlighted a novel association between a homozygous nonsense variant in PLEC and a rare combination of disorders including EB pruriginosa, muscular dystrophy, and congenital myasthenic syndrome.

This study found a significant relationship between lash ptosis severity and marginal reflex distance, levator function, and double fold presence in Asian patients, which may inform surgical planning for upper eyelid procedures.

This study demonstrated that Reverse Protein Engineering can decrease the size of Firefly Luciferase from 550 to less than 80 amino acids, but further research is needed to ensure these smaller peptides retain bioluminescent activity.

This chapter discusses the synthesis and analysis of near-infrared fluorescent activity-based probes for imaging cysteine protease activity, reporting potential benefits for disease diagnosis but noting challenges in imaging specific locations with high cathepsin activity.

This study describes a case of cyclic thrombocytopenia where a novel MPL gene mutation may contribute to the disease, with gene expression changes in platelet and neutrophil genes preceding platelet count fluctuations.

A 70-year-old woman with a rare skin condition improved after treatment with topical steroids and acitretin.
