This study found that topical cilostazol promotes hair growth, enhances hair follicle activities, and may serve as a potential treatment for alopecia.

This study documented the progression of exfoliative cutaneous lupus erythematosus in German shorthaired pointers and found generally poor responses to therapies, including immunomodulatory drugs and a TNF-α inhibitor.

This study presents three cases where tinea capitis in children mimicked cicatricial alopecia and explores host and fungal factors that may influence the disease's presentation and treatment.

This study identified that keratotic basal cell carcinomas with citrulline-positive keratin and hair papilla-like structures are highly differentiated, which helps distinguish them from squamous carcinomas.

This study reports that citrulline, uniquely found in the inner root sheath of hair follicles, can be specifically detected with the carbamido diacetyl reaction, resulting in a bright orange color.

This study found that disrupting the inturned gene in developing mouse epidermis halted hair follicle formation due to impaired keratinocyte differentiation, highlighting primary cilia's role in tissue-specific planar cell polarity signaling.

This study reports that cimetidine treatment resulted in good to excellent hair regrowth in 70% of the small group of women with androgenetic alopecia, with no major side effects observed.

In this study, silencing BMAL1 and PER1 genes increased melanogenic activity in follicular and epidermal melanocytes, suggesting that peripheral circadian clocks may regulate melanin pigmentation.

This case report documents a successful response to griseofulvin and prednisolone treatment in a 12-year-old boy with lichen planopilaris, characterized by patchy hair loss and distinct skin changes.

In this study, brepocitinib was found to significantly reduce inflammatory biomarker CCL5 expression and improve clinical severity by week 24, while maintaining a favorable safety profile.

In this study, cimetidine at a daily dose of 1.5 gm for 3 months did not significantly affect hair growth in women with moderate to severe hirsutism.

This study found that low serum testosterone and elevated serum oestrone in men with cirrhosis are associated with worse liver disease and adverse health outcomes, suggesting oestrone as a potential ill health marker.

This study found that circRNA-1926 promotes hair follicle stem cell differentiation in cashmere goats by sponging miR-148a/b-3p to increase CDK19 expression.

This review explores new theories, diagnostic tools, and management strategies for primary cicatricial alopecia but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that 73.9% of patients with cicatricial alopecia reported moderate to severe psychosocial impacts, highlighting the importance of addressing psychological aspects in treatment.

This case report highlights the successful use of the Bardach modification of the curved tripod flap for repairing cicatricial pressure alopecia, offering a natural appearance and effective tension distribution in scalp reconstruction.

This study suggests that corkscrew hairs in tinea capitis result from internal hair damage by Trichophyton violaceum and external resistance from scalp scales.

This study suggests that seborrhoeic folliculitis may represent a unique form of cicatricial alopecia, linking chronic scalp dermatitis-folliculitis with low-grade inflammatory fibrosing alopecia.

This study found that seven cases of cicatricial alopecia initially diagnosed as discoid lupus erythematosus were more consistent with lichen planopilaris based on histopathology.

This study found that extracting RNA from equine hair follicles can effectively identify 24-hour oscillations of specific circadian clock genes, offering a valuable non-invasive method to evaluate the equine circadian clock.

More research is needed to understand and treat cicatricial alopecias.

This review presents a case of cicatricial pemphigoid with scarring alopecia and notes its rarity but significant cosmetic distress among cicatricial pemphigoid patients in Oxford.

This article discusses aspects of Graham-Little syndrome, including follicular keratosis with cicatricial alopecia, and offers no new clinical findings.

This study found that among older men, lower calculated free testosterone was significantly associated with a higher risk of heart failure, suggesting a possible role of testosterone deficiency in heart failure incidence.

This study identified a genetic locus associated with coat type in domestic dogs, showing certain variants linked to single-coated breeds and suggesting potential regulatory roles.

In this study, researchers observed that in barn owls, the relationship between black feather spot size and testosterone levels varied by age and sex, suggesting involvement of genes regulating both traits rather than direct influence of testosterone on feather coloration.

The authors concluded that utilizing clock gene expression from hair follicle cells may improve circadian-phase estimation in clinical settings, aiding the detection of circadian-related sleep problems despite social time constraints.

This study found that CK15 is an unreliable marker for assessing bulge zone integrity in cicatricial alopecia follicles due to its altered expression in diseased conditions.

This case study describes a patient with discoid lupus erythematosus whose scalp lesions progressed despite treatment, with findings suggesting inclusion cysts and comedones as part of primary or secondary changes.
