The man's hair loss and skin papules were diagnosed as atrichia with papular lesions, not alopecia areata universalis.

This case report highlights an unusual presentation of mycosis fungoides with photo-exacerbated lesions and a rare CD4+/CD8+ immunohistochemical phenotype, complicating diagnosis and treatment.

This study found that patients with cutaneous lichen planus had a higher risk of metabolic syndrome, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension compared to controls.

A medication may help with hair growth in psoriasis, and a skin condition might be linked to a specific bacteria.

This study found that diphenylcyclopropenone therapy resulted in over 50% hair regrowth in 71% of alopecia totalis patients, with a significant relapse association with thyroid disease, suggesting treatment could be viable but should continue for at least two years.

This correspondence discusses the diagnostic criteria for frontal fibrosing alopecia but reports no new research findings, agreeing with many previously suggested criteria.

This study evaluated the accuracy of the HairCheck device, a cross-section trichometer, and concluded that it effectively measures changes in hair diameter and density for assessing alopecia progression and treatment response.

This study found that cetaceans have adapted their fibroblast growth factors to assist in low bone density, hypoxia tolerance, and the development of rigid flippers, reflecting significant evolutionary changes for aquatic life.

This review highlights the evolution of assessment tools for alopecia areata, revealing newer tools that evaluate beyond scalp hair loss, including psychosocial impact and disease chronicity, which can aid clinicians in developing individualized treatment strategies and enhance research in pediatric dermatology.

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.

This report identifies a novel mutation in the ST14 gene in a female with autosomal recessive ichthyosis with hypotrichosis, highlighting similar features to previously reported cases.

The article presents three clinical cases of universal alopecia developing during TNF-α inhibitor therapy and discusses possible mechanisms and the role of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

This article describes the first reported case of isolated linear discoid lupus erythematosus on the scalp, suggesting it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of linear scarring alopecia.

This study found that alopecia areata patients in South India, particularly younger females and those with comorbidities or extensive disease, experience significant quality-of-life impairment due to various demographic and clinical factors.

This correspondence discusses proposed updates to the diagnostic criteria for frontal fibrosing alopecia, emphasizing the importance of differentiating it from other types of alopecia.

This chapter reviews the role of androgen receptors in mediating the actions of androgens in specific tissues and provides no new experimental findings.

This case report describes a 38-year-old male with scarring body hair loss as the sole manifestation of lichen planopilaris, characterized by progressive alopecia and preceding itching.

This review discusses the molecular mechanisms of androgen action in human hair follicles and reports no new findings; the authors emphasize the need for further research to improve treatments for hair disorders.

This study found that 23.8% of participants with pattern hair loss had occipital involvement, with higher rates in females (35.6%) compared to males with early-stage hair loss (12.1%), illustrating significant gender differences in hair loss progression.

Hair dye can cause serious scalp issues, including skull erosion.

This study found that chronic stress may inhibit hair follicle growth and melanogenesis in mice through modulation of the central HPA axis, with C57BL/6 mice appearing most sensitive to these effects.

In this in vitro study, niacinamide was found not to stimulate VEGF synthesis across a wide range of doses.

This case report presents a rare subtype of hypomyelinating leukodystrophy linked to a PYCR2 gene mutation, emphasizing exome sequencing's value in diagnosing undiagnosed childhood HLDs with atypical symptoms.

This study observed that topical application of maslinic acid stimulated hair growth in mice comparably to minoxidil, possibly through the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and involving ciliary gene activity, highlighting increased levels of trichogenic gene expression and protein levels.

This article discusses post-COVID-19 hair loss, highlighting potential misdiagnoses between different types and the expanded role of dermatologists; no new clinical findings are reported.

This review discusses recent surgical and medical advancements in hair restoration techniques but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the use of follicular unit extraction for hair restoration using body hair, reporting no new clinical findings, and highlights its potential for advanced baldness cases with limited scalp donor hair.

This review discusses advancements in surgical hair restoration techniques, highlighting that modern follicular unit hair transplanting now achieves much more natural and undetectable results than previous methods, but reports no new clinical findings.

The researchers reported that one-third of women with female pattern hair loss in their study had occipital region involvement, which is important for diagnosing and planning treatment, including hair restoration surgery, as the occipital region is often used as a normal reference.
