This review examines the factors contributing to the success or failure of the hair transplant megasession technique and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that dermoscopy-guided scalp biopsies provided a definitive pathological diagnosis in 95% of patients with cicatricial alopecia.

This study found that early-onset male pattern baldness was associated with a reduced relative risk of prostate cancer.

This review summarizes the characteristics of the peri-malignant melanoma stroma, indicating its potential role in early dermal metastatic migration and increased metastasis risk.

This article reviews the indications for micropigmentation in dermatological conditions like stable vitiligo and alopecia, but presents no new clinical results.

This study found that macrophage-stimulating protein (MSP) enhanced hair growth in both human hair follicles cultured in vitro and in mice through the promotion of anagen phase induction.

This study validated the Black Identity, Hair Product Use, and Breast Cancer Scale (BHBS) as a tool to measure social and cultural factors related to hair product use and perceived breast cancer risk in Black women.

This study concluded that patients with type 3 acromegaly had higher comorbidities, greater disease activity, and increased mortality risk compared to those with type 1 and type 2 acromegaly, even after treatment adjustments.

Basonuclin is crucial for hair follicle development and cycling in mice.

In this study, bezafibrate treatment improved certain aging-like features in a mouse model with mitochondrial dysfunction, but did not enhance muscle function or lifespan.

In this study, researchers found that among adults with severe alopecia, continued treatment with baricitinib for 104 weeks maintained hair regrowth effectively in those who responded at 52 weeks, with improved outcomes noted in some initially non-responders receiving 4 mg.

This study reports that patients with primary cicatricial alopecia have distinct bacterial colonization and higher antibiotic resistance compared to those with non-inflammatory scalp conditions, indicating the importance of bacterial culture and susceptibility testing for targeted therapies.

Long-term use of finasteride may cause breast cancer in men.

This case report describes perifollicular melanocyte regeneration in the affected skin of a patient with bullous pemphigoid, highlighting an underreported aspect of the condition in skin of color patients, and emphasizing the need for increased awareness and earlier diagnosis in this demographic.

This study identified a new variety of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia that includes patchy hair loss on the lateral and posterior scalp in African-American women, which could be misdiagnosed as traction alopecia without dermatoscopy and pathology.

This study emphasizes the genetic component of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, highlighting an atypical case involving an adolescent male within an African-American family.

In this study, α-MSH and cyclic AMP were found to stimulate melanogenesis in hair follicle cultures, while cyclic GMP and melatonin inhibited melanin production but not tyrosinase activity.

This article reviews the dermabrasion resurfacing technique and details consultation, medication, management practices, and expected outcomes, but it does not present any new clinical data.

CCCA in African Americans may be linked to hair grooming, low vitamin D, and autoimmune factors.

This study found that Malassezia folliculitis, common among young adult males, can be distinguished from truncal acne by its clinical features and responds well to antifungal treatment.

This article reviews scalp micropigmentation techniques for camouflaging scalp scars and alopecia, emphasizing the principles and skills required to achieve a natural appearance, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that the proposed Bayesian measurement-error-driven hidden Markov regression model effectively calibrated inflated covariate effect sizes in a community-based survey on androgenetic alopecia regardless of misclassification type.

In this study, reflectance confocal microscopy was shown to provide early insights into sub-clinical treatment progress in patients with androgenetic alopecia, potentially offering advantages over global photography.

In this study, a computer-aided imaging system accurately measured the width of balding areas in female pattern hair loss, correlating strongly with clinical staging severity.

In this study, the Mason gastric bypass resulted in significant weight loss, with most patients losing over 25% of their total weight and maintaining it, despite some risk of complications.

This letter to the editor raises concerns about the possibility of cornrowing leading to dermatologic problems such as traction alopecia, paralleling issues seen with other cosmetic fads.

This study found extensive real-world and clinical trial exposure to baricitinib across various disease states, ages, and racial populations, contributing data to its overall profile.
