This report describes two cases of cutaneous lupus erythematosus mimicking alopecia areata, highlighting the importance of considering CLE in the diagnosis of patchy hair loss to prevent scarring alopecia.

This study demonstrates that confocal laser scanning microscopy can effectively visualize the rapid diffusion and penetration pathway of a dye into the hair follicle in fresh human scalp skin.

This review discusses central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, its similarities to lichen planopilaris, and emphasizes the need for further research due to its underdiagnosis and impact on African-descended women.

This protocol paper details methods for live imaging and analysis of dividing germline stem cells in C. elegans and reports no new research findings.

This article presents diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations for cutaneous lupus erythematosus from the Polish Dermatological Society, but reports no new clinical findings.

This article reviews the classification, pathogenesis, and treatment options for cutaneous lupus erythematosus and reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that human C-tactile afferents respond to hair deflection, suggesting a functionally relevant anatomical relationship to hair follicles similar to that observed in mice.

This study confirmed the porcine ear skin model's effectiveness for studying nanoparticle-based drug delivery in human hair follicles, noting particle-dependent uptake and enhancement by massage.

This event summary reports on the 4th annual Live Surgery Workshop and Cadaver Dissection on Hair Restoration, highlighting its success and the diverse surgical techniques demonstrated.

This study reports that using laser microdissection to isolate telogen hair follicles significantly improves DNA extraction efficiency for STR typing, reducing contamination from keratin.

This study observed that β-catenin overexpression in human squamous cell carcinoma cells led to increased CREB expression, which significantly enhanced clonogenic activity, suggesting CREB as a β-catenin-regulated factor promoting cancer characteristics.

This study concluded that KLF4 is a crucial regulator of hair follicle stem cell quiescence and may work by interacting with multiple transcription factors to control related genes.

This article explores the theoretical foundations of the ChromaLens Precision Mapping system for analyzing hair, but it does not present any new experimental findings.

The document provides a quiz for physicians to earn continuing medical education credits in facial plastic surgery.

This study found that a peripilar white gray halo around hair emergence is a highly specific and sensitive dermatoscopic feature for diagnosing central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in African American patients with mild central thinning.

In this animal study, researchers found that cedrol, a constituent from Platycladus orientalis, significantly promoted hair growth in a dose-dependent manner in female C57BL/6 mice, surpassing results from blank control and 2% minoxidil groups over 21 days.

Lgr5 is a marker for active, long-lasting stem cells in mouse hair follicles.

This study established a Krt24-CreERT2 mouse line targeting outer bulge hair follicle stem cells, finding these cells crucial for hair follicle development and repair, particularly following ionizing radiation exposure.

This study found that oral administration of cedrol, a component of ginger, improved hair regeneration and reduced hair follicle damage in cyclophosphamide-induced alopecia areata in mice more effectively than external administration, by enhancing cytokine expression and modulating key signaling pathways.

This study reviews the role of the zinc finger protein CXXC5 in cellular signaling and its implications for cancer, discussing how its dysregulation is linked to various physiological and pathological processes, as well as potential therapies targeting CXXC5.

Mast cells may significantly contribute to central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia.

In a depilated mouse model, this study found that blocking CXCL4 activity with an anti-CXCL4 monoclonal antibody promoted hair growth by inducing an earlier anagen phase, delaying hair follicle regression, and altering expression of genes and proteins related to hair growth and cell proliferation.

This study found that deleting ceramide synthase 4 in skin epidermis stem cells disrupts hair follicle and skin barrier function, leading to immune responses similar to atopic dermatitis, due to imbalances in lipid composition affecting differentiation.

This study found that in naturally curved human scalp hairs, distinct arrangements of cell types on either side of the hair fiber contribute to its curvature.

This study found that a highly resistant structure, located at the interface between the cuticle and cortex of human hair, acts as a penetration barrier, which the authors propose to name the "cuticle anchored resistant base" or CARB.

This article reviews central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, including its various forms and potential multifactorial causes, but provides no new clinical findings.

In this study, the researchers observed that inducing and then withdrawing β-catenin expression in a bigenic mouse model caused reversible changes in skin morphology, indicating dependence on β-catenin signaling.

This study found that the natural extract e-CAF promotes the proliferation and migration of human hair dermal papilla cells in vitro, suggesting potential benefits for skin regeneration and tissue repair.

This review discusses central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia and emphasizes the need for more research to understand and manage the disease, while also suggesting initiatives like educating hairstylists for early detection.

This study demonstrates the use of microscopy-guided laser ablation to create a highly structured 3D hydrogel-based organotypic skin model with folliculoid structures, potentially useful for studying hair follicle development or bioactive substance screening.
