In this case report, isotretinoin treatment led to complete remission of folliculitis decalvans lesions in a 26-year-old male after a year and a half, despite the lack of certain histopathology images and control tests; the findings also suggest potential familial clustering needing further genetic investigation.

This case study reports a two and a half-month-old with biotinidase deficiency who showed rapid seizure improvement with biotin treatment after presenting with convulsions and neurological symptoms.

In this study, researchers developed a novel computational framework using deep reinforcement learning to identify strategies for cellular reprogramming in gene regulatory networks, showing its effectiveness in a model of immune response against infection.

In this pilot study, PDLLA scalp microinjections showed improvement in physician-rated Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale scores over 12-24 weeks for 90% of patients with non-scarring alopecia, with no serious adverse events reported, although findings remain preliminary due to methodological limitations.

In this study, researchers found that mogamulizumab-associated rashes and alopecia are common in patients treated for mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome and may be linked with a good treatment response.

This study reports that methotrexate may be a successful and well-tolerated treatment option for patients with generalized granuloma annulare, with 64% showing improvement, although adverse effects like GI upset and hair loss were noted.

This study found that deslorelin implants can effectively reduce estradiol levels and support hair regrowth in neutered ferrets with hyperoestrogenism caused by nodular hyperplasia of the adrenocortex.

This case series described five patients with chronic alopecia areata who successfully maintained long-term disease control using a combination of topical immunotherapy and other treatments over 9–15 years, highlighting the approach's continued value alongside novel therapies.

This study found that platelet-rich gel is a simple and effective non-surgical method for healing exposed skull injuries, resulting in complete healing with minimal scars and sparse hair growth in all patients.

This study found that FUE hair transplantation is effective for treating secondary scarring alopecia from burns, offering natural hair growth, quick recovery, high patient satisfaction, and few complications.

This research indicates that androgens may drive hidradenitis suppurativa in some patients, as they show higher testosterone levels compared to nonaffected controls, and testosterone-lowering medications are established treatments for milder cases.

This study documented successful use of Brevilin-A, a topical treatment, in pediatric patients with alopecia areata, indicating it as a potentially safe and effective option for managing mild-moderate cases and resistant forms of the disease.

Researchers found a new genetic mutation causing a rare hair loss condition in the first Japanese child studied.

This case report emphasizes the importance of recognizing non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia as a cause of hyperandrogenism and the need for genetic counseling given potential familial implications.

This case series reported that patients with trichotillomania and pseudofolliculitis experienced improvement in itch symptoms and hair regrowth after receiving topical steroids, topical, or oral antibiotics.

In this case-control study, female patients with early onset androgenetic alopecia had higher triglycerides, total cholesterol, and LDL-C levels, and lower HDL-C levels compared to females with other skin diseases.

This case-control study in Missan Province, Iraq, found that married women with PCOS had higher rates of obesity and menstrual irregularities, along with elevated testosterone, LH, and insulin levels, compared to healthy controls, highlighting significant hormonal and metabolic complications.

In this case–control study, the researchers in Ukraine found no significant link between VDR rs2228570 polymorphism and decreased serum BDNF levels, though they observed a moderate correlation between serum BDNF and 25-OH Vitamin D levels in patients with thyroid disorders.

In this case-control study, researchers did not find genome-wide significant genetic variants for trichotillomania, but cases had higher polygenic risk for psychiatric disorders and certain neuropsychiatric-associated copy number variants.

In this case-control study, EGF levels were significantly higher in patients with alopecia areata than in healthy controls, and these elevated levels positively correlated with the severity and extent of the disease, suggesting EGF as a potential marker for alopecia areata severity.

In this case-control study, researchers found that serum apelin-12 levels were significantly higher in acne patients and correlated with acne severity, BMI, insulin resistance, and inflammation, suggesting that managing insulin resistance could be important for acne treatment.

In this prospective case-control study, researchers found that women with any phenotype of polycystic ovary syndrome exhibited increased retinal nerve fiber layer and choroidal thickness compared to healthy controls, with changes correlated to body mass index.

In this case-control study, researchers found that patients with alopecia areata had significantly higher serum levels of interleukin-18 and NLRP3 compared to healthy controls, suggesting a potential link between these inflammatory markers and the disease.

This nested case-control study observed that patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia or androgenic alopecia who had a cumulative 5-ARI dose exceeding 5840 defined daily doses had a significantly reduced mortality risk, while lower doses were linked to higher mortality and suicide rates.

In this case-control study, researchers investigated the association between SIRT1 gene polymorphisms and colorectal cancer risk, finding no statistically significant differences in polymorphism frequencies between patients and controls, but noted trends that warrant further study in larger populations.

In this case-control study, the researchers found that human beta-defensin 1 concentration was not a significant predictor of alopecia areata susceptibility or severity.

In this retrospective case-control study, researchers reported that patients with alopecia areata had significantly increased odds of venous thromboembolism compared to matched controls, suggesting a potential association between alopecia areata and risk of VTE.

In this hospital-based case-control study, researchers at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University found that age, family history of alopecia, and low serum ferritin levels may be significant risk factors for female pattern hair loss among the studied population.

This study found that female isotretinoin users who also took oral contraceptives were more likely to experience elevated triglyceride or cholesterol levels.

This case study describes the diagnosis and treatment of a Japanese girl with non-classical 21-hydroxylase deficiency, highlighting the normalization of testosterone and control of clitoromegaly after hydrocortisone therapy, but continued overgrowth issues.
