In this study, optical coherence tomography detected hair follicles at the dermoepidermal junction not visible on the scalp surface in alopecia areata patients, suggesting OCT may help monitor treatment response.

This study found that dermoscopy showed distinctive patterns for different types of alopecia, supporting its clinical usefulness for diagnosing diseases with small round or oval hairless patches on the scalp.

In this study, LC-OCT was used to distinguish between subtypes of scarring alopecia, laying the groundwork for further hypotheses and future research in larger and longitudinal studies to examine treatment responses.

This study reported that Trichoscan, a computer-assisted hair measurement system, was not supported as accurate for clinical trials due to errors in signal detection, despite its analysis speed.

In this study, researchers used advanced infrared microspectroscopy techniques to map the chemical composition of human hair, revealing new insights such as the presence of glycogen in the outer root sheath and the widespread distribution of calcium carboxylates in the hair cuticle.

This study presents a new surgical technique that frequently results in minimal scars visible to the naked eye, marking a significant improvement over traditional methods.

This article describes a new method for staining hair fibers that visualizes keratin filaments without the need for OsO4 fixation or sulfur bond breakage, but it provides no new experimental results beyond the method itself.

This review discusses the evolution and potential of non-invasive imaging techniques for diagnosing scalp diseases, highlighting their advantages and limitations compared to trichoscopy and scalp biopsy, the current diagnostic standards.

This study observed that trichoscopy can identify specific patterns in alopecia areata, such as white and black dots, which assists in non-invasive diagnosis and assessing disease severity.

In this case report, a 58-year-old woman was diagnosed with pseudopelada of Brocq, highlighting the diagnostic challenges of this rare scarring alopecia and underscoring the need for precise evaluation using trichoscopy and skin biopsy to avoid ineffective treatments and manage progression.

This article provides an overview of how dermoscopy can aid in the noninvasive diagnosis of various general dermatological disorders, grouped by clinical presentation, but reports no new clinical results.

This article reviews recent updates on alopecia areata, focusing on its causes, clinical presentation, and treatment options, and provides treatment plans by patient age and disease extent, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses botulinum toxin's experimental off-label uses in dermatology, highlighting promising results but emphasizing the need for more clinical trials to confirm efficacy and safety.

This article reviews the characteristics and classification criteria of cutaneous lupus erythematosus and reports no new clinical findings.

This review found that oral methotrexate plus oral prednisone may improve disease activity or damage in juvenile active morphea compared to placebo plus prednisone, but adverse events may slightly increase.

This review discusses recent advances in understanding the cellular, molecular, and genetic factors contributing to lupus erythematosus and reports no new experimental findings.

This study observed that carboxytherapy significantly improved clinical and dermoscopic measures in patients with alopecia areata and androgenetic alopecia compared to placebo, though some benefits regressed during follow-up.

This study found that adult patients with Myotonic Dystrophy type 1 exhibited a higher prevalence of various morphofunctional, inflammatory, and proliferative skin disorders compared to healthy controls.

This study found that acute cutaneous lupus erythematosus, particularly malar rash, was the most common skin manifestation among SLE patients in Bangladesh, with significant occurrences of nonspecific lesions like alopecia and mucosal ulcers.

New factors in female hair loss include genetics, hormones, stress, and inflammation; future treatments should also focus on these areas and consider the patient's emotional well-being.

This review examines the increasing clinical applications of dermoscopy in diagnosing various skin conditions and highlights its potential to improve diagnostic accuracy and reduce unnecessary histologic confirmation.

This study found that the TrichoScan method detected significant increases in hair counts and cumulative hair thickness in men after finasteride treatment, suggesting its potential for monitoring hair treatment responses.

This study found that dermoscopy can identify distinctive features in canine pattern alopecia, such as hair shaft thinning and pigmentation patterns, which may aid in diagnosing this and potentially other skin disorders.

This study found that human hair follicle dermal papilla cells and keratinocytes self-assembled differently in 3D spheroid co-cultures, providing insights into cell distribution and organogenesis during skin regeneration.

This study found that using ionic liquid for specimen preparation allowed for observation of dermal papilla cells and their cilia in near-living conditions, reducing damage typically caused by conventional preparation methods.

This systematic review evaluated 60 studies on trichoscopy in hair and scalp disorders, revealing gaps in accounting for variables like disease stage or hair texture, and underscoring a need for more comprehensive analyses to fully understand trichoscopic patterns.

This article highlights that hair restoration surgeons are generally comfortable performing scalp biopsies or excisions due to their routine work on the highly vascular scalp; however, it presents no new research findings.

In this study, R-CSLM showed promise in evaluating hair shaft diseases by providing high-quality images of hair structures, although further development is necessary for follicle and perifollicular area analysis.

This study found that using a standardized protocol with microspheres of approximately 1.5 micrometers enhances penetration into hair follicles, particularly when skin is treated with cyanoacrylate skin surface stripping.

This article reviews optimal patient selection and donor site quality for successful hair transplant procedures, but reports no new clinical findings.
