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

This case report suggests that in African-American patients, the histology of Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia may resemble lichen planopilaris, indicating a potential diagnostic challenge.

This study found that hair follicles in mice and humans can convert wound-related myofibroblasts into adipocytes, suggesting a potential pathway to reduce scar formation by activating BMP signaling.

This review observed limited evidence of clinically significant benefits from treatments for acute central serous chorioretinopathy, which often resolves spontaneously, but identified PDT and micropulse laser as the most promising for further trials.

This review discusses the roles of interferon-γ and PPAR-γ-mediated signalling in scarring alopecia, suggesting these pathways as potential therapeutic targets, but it reports no new empirical results.

This study found that certain C57BL/6 mouse substrains have a genetic vulnerability to skin lesions resembling central centrifugal cicatrical alopecia in humans, potentially worsened by high vitamin A levels.

The document explains different types of hair loss, their causes, and treatments, and suggests future research areas.

Oral retinoids can cause side effects ranging from mild to severe, including birth defects, and require careful monitoring and contraception.

This article reviews innovations in hair cosmetics, focusing on esthetic procedures and products in the Indian market, and reports no new experimental findings.

This review discusses the role of PPAR-γ in the pathogenesis of primary cicatricial alopecia, including its involvement in lichen planopilaris and treatment trials using PPAR-agonists, and reports no new clinical results.

This study reported that MRI-based ovarian morphology shows significant overlap between PCOS cases and controls, highlighting the need to consider clinical and biochemical data alongside imaging findings for PCOS diagnosis.

This essay reviews the role of human scalp hair follicles in the "brain-skin connection," highlighting their dual function as targets and sources of neurohormones, without reporting new experimental results.

This review discusses follicular and scarring disorders in skin of color and highlights the need for patient education and tailored therapeutic strategies, but does not report new clinical findings.

This study reported that patterns of fibrosis identified through elastin staining may help distinguish specific forms of primary cicatricial alopecia in biopsy specimens, with certain patterns suggesting particular diagnoses.

This review suggests that hair transplantation may be a viable treatment option for certain primary scarring alopecias, although findings should be interpreted cautiously due to possible publication bias favoring positive results.

This review synthesizes current research on PPAR-γ signaling in hair follicle biology and its potential role in treating hair growth disorders like scarring alopecia and hirsutism, but reports no new clinical results.

This study identifies substance P, TNFα, and IFNγ as novel regulators of prolactin and its receptor expression in human skin, suggesting intracutaneous prolactin is not controlled by dopamine.

This article reviews insights into the pathogenesis of primary cicatricial alopecias, such as lichen planopilaris, provided by emerging technologies, but it does not report new clinical results.

This study found that C57BL/6 mice with a diet containing specific levels of vitamin A showed alterations in retinoid metabolism and increased frequency of cicatricial alopecias, suggesting dietary factors may play a role in this condition.

This article discusses diagnostic challenges and management approaches for hair loss in women of color, emphasizing the importance of clinical examinations and education to prevent and manage traction alopecia.

This review discusses the mechanisms underlying immune tolerance failure in alopecia areata and highlights potential therapeutic avenues for restoring hair growth and achieving sustained remission, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that loss of epidermal PPARγ in mice altered the expression of many genes related to skin inflammation, keratinization, and sebaceous gland function, indicating its key role in maintaining skin homeostasis.

This article reviews nonscarring and scarring hair loss conditions that may mimic androgenetic alopecia, reporting no new clinical results and highlighting the need for accurate diagnosis in hair restoration surgery.

This article reviews practical approaches for managing dermatologic conditions in patients with skin of color and reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, finasteride was found to potentiate stress-induced disruption in sensory gating of rats by neutralizing the increase in allopregnanolone levels after acute stress.

In this study, researchers identified significant differences in protein expression patterns in scalps affected by central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, notably upregulation of immune pathways and fibrosis markers and downregulation of metabolic proteins, suggesting unique disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets.

This study found a 21-fold increased risk of metabolic syndrome associated with a higher waist-hip ratio in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, highlighting the need for focused management in obese patients.

This chapter reviews the prevalence, pathogenesis, and management of hair and scalp disorders but reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the potential role of a PADI3 gene variant in central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia among African-American women but reports no new clinical results.

This article discusses the lack of information on central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia's manifestations in Black men and reports no new clinical findings; the authors emphasize the need for further study in this population.
