This review discusses photobiomodulation as a potential treatment for hair loss, highlighting its safety and possible effectiveness but noting cost, protocol standardization, and expectation management as limitations; it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, Trapa bispinosa Roxb. pericarp extract demonstrated inhibitory effects on 5α-reductase activity both in vitro using LNCaP cells and in vivo in a mouse model of benign prostatic hyperplasia, suggesting its potential role in managing the condition.

This study found that while the combination of oral propranolol and intradermal injections in guinea pigs led to psoriasiform changes, it did not fully mimic psoriasis.

Up to 10% of hair loss patients might have early signs of a condition called Lichen Planopilaris.

This study found that low doses of bisphenol A may increase proliferation of the ventral prostate in adult rats by altering the estrogen to androgen ratio and gene expression.

This case report describes an atypical presentation of lichen planopilaris affecting only facial vellus hair, without scalp involvement, in a 46-year-old man.

A specific gene variant is linked to heart disease, increased heart muscle, curly hair, and thick skin on palms and soles.

This report details a case study where a 40-year-old woman experienced allergic contact dermatitis and angioedema-like symptoms after using PPD-containing hair dye. Patch testing confirmed a positive reaction to PPD, highlighting the substance's potential to cause both T-cell and IgE-mediated hypersensitivity reactions.

Lichen planopilaris is a rare, chronic condition causing hair loss, mainly in middle-aged women, and early treatment is important to prevent permanent baldness.

This article discusses the BIOMAP consortium's efforts in standardizing data for atopic dermatitis and psoriasis research to facilitate personalized medicine, but it presents no new research findings.

This study found that a history of smoking significantly predicted a more refractory course of palmoplantar pustulosis, with associated comorbidities often including hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and thyroid diseases.

This study explored the effects of a 50% hydroalcoholic UPBF extract on BPH in testosterone propionate-induced rats, finding significant improvements in prostate-related parameters and lower urinary tract symptoms at a 200 mg/kg dose, suggesting potential use in BPH management.

This study suggests that using the International Psoriasis Council's classification, which includes body surface area, special areas, and treatment history, may identify more candidates for systemic therapy than by body surface area alone.

In this case report, four sessions of the Broad Ligament Maneuver were associated with improvements in ovarian function and regression of PCOS symptoms, including normalizing menstrual flow and decreasing hirsutism.

In this study, researchers identified a recurrent MBTPS2 splice-site variant as a mutational hotspot in IFAP syndrome across diverse families, with phenotype severity suggesting the influence of additional modifiers.

This study describes three new cases of MCOPS6 with BMP4 variants, noting expanded phenotypic variability but no clinically apparent microphthalmia in these individuals, which is commonly reported in the disorder.

This study explores premature graying of hair, outlining potential causes such as genetic factors, nutritional deficiencies, and autoimmune disorders, and evaluates various management strategies including nutritional supplements, pharmacotherapy, and addressing underlying conditions.

In this case report, a 65-year-old woman with lichen planopilaris achieved stabilization of her condition through early recognition and systemic corticosteroid therapy, emphasizing the critical role of coordinated management between primary care and dermatology.

The authors reported a case of significant scalp edema accompanying lichen planopilaris in a middle-aged woman, suggesting a potential new variant of edematous scalp conditions as a reaction to scarring alopecia.

In this study, researchers found that overexpression of CRABP2 enhanced the proliferation of dermal papilla cells in Hu sheep through activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, even when the pathway was inhibited.

This study suggests that IGFBP-2 may play a role in basal cell carcinoma development by mediating epidermal progenitor cell expansion in hair follicles with activated Shh signaling.

In this study, 12-Chloracetyl-PPD showed anti-cancer activity by inhibiting cancer cell viability and inducing apoptosis through reactive oxygen species production without harming normal cells.

Dr. Connelly agrees that linear basal cell carcinomas might be more aggressive but highlights the study's lack of clear criteria to identify them.

This review highlights the potential of transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) as a non-invasive and affordable treatment for brain diseases, summarizing recent advances and successful protocols based on over two decades of research.

This review discusses the potential relationship between lichen planus pigmentosus and frontal fibrosing alopecia, presenting a case study but reporting no new clinical findings.

This study describes Pseudopelade of Brocq as a rare and enigmatic scarring alopecia characterized by irregular hair loss patterns on the scalp, requiring exclusion of other conditions like lichen planopilaris and discoid lupus erythematosus for a specific diagnosis.

This study indicates that individuals exposed to PPD mount varying immune responses, with either tolerance, subclinical inflammation, or allergy, suggesting no true non-responders to PPD.

This review examines the existing research on pathologic hairpulling, skin picking, and nail biting, suggesting these behaviors are underrecognized and may benefit from a unified diagnostic categorization; it reports no new clinical findings.

This study suggests that the GPX-PDE1 and GPX-PDE2 genes in white lupin enhance root hair development and contribute to Pi limitation acclimation by facilitating glycerophosphodiester degradation.
