This study found that chemical lumbar sympathectomy with 5% phenol effectively treated idiopathic livedo reticularis in most patients, offering a potential long-lasting solution with repeatable efficacy upon recurrence.

This study established a murine chronic graft-versus-host disease model with scleroderma features, showing typical skin changes and cellular infiltrates associated with the condition.

This study reports that LL-37 treatment enhances cell proliferation, migration, and secretion of regenerative factors in adipose-derived stem cells, potentially promoting hair growth in vivo.

This study provides one of the first descriptions of the demographic, clinical, and therapeutic characteristics of lichen planopilaris in Chilean adults, reporting that treatment usually reduced or halted disease progression.

This study found that the ocular surface epithelium in mice contains distinct stem cell populations with unique cell division dynamics that change behaviorally in response to different levels of injury.

This case report highlights that CCCA can present with multifocal patchy hair loss in younger men of African descent, suggesting the need for careful evaluation when diagnosing atypical alopecia patterns.

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

Two patients had a rare combination of red skin spots and white scaly skin lesions not on the genitals.

This study developed and validated an HPLC-UV method for accurately quantifying clobetasol propionate in skin and hair follicles, demonstrating its application in in vitro permeation experiments.

In this study, researchers found that mosaic PLCD1 hotspot variants, even without the recognized germline "risk allele," may be a rare but significant genetic cause of nevus trichilemmocysticus, warranting DNA testing and sensitive sequencing technologies for accurate diagnosis.

In this research, RNA expression analysis of scalp biopsies from lichen planopilaris patients revealed changes in specific genes after treatments with hydroxychloroquine, narrow band UVB, or low level laser light therapy, suggesting potential biomarkers and implicating M2 macrophages in the disease's immunopathogenesis.

CCCA affects Black men too, with a genetic link found in the PADI3 gene.

This case report describes the first instance of classical lichen planopilaris with atrophic lichenoid plaques developing in a Blaschko-linear pattern due to imatinib treatment in a patient with chronic myeloid leukemia.

This report suggests that patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax should be evaluated for FLCN mutations, as they may indicate Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome and associated cancer risks.

In this study, three cases of Cronkhite-Canada syndrome revealed small bowel mucosal lesions, but these findings did not correlate with clinical symptoms or steroid treatment outcomes.

In this case study, a 78-year-old Japanese woman with Cronkhite-Canada syndrome experienced mesenteric lymphadenopathy, which reduced in size after treatment with the corticosteroid prednisolone. This suggests that mesenteric lymphadenopathy, though uncommon in CCS, may respond to steroid therapy.

This study reported four new cases of NISCH syndrome in a Moroccan family, confirming genetic variability in liver disease severity and suggesting potential benefits from early UDCA therapy.

This case report details two patients with Graham-Little-Piccardi-Lassueur syndrome who showed marked skin lesion improvement with corticosteroid treatment, though cicatricial scalp alopecia remained unresponsive.

This study found that combined therapy with cetirizine and topical steroids stabilized inflammation in most patients with lichen planus pilaris, though one patient experienced cardiac arrhythmia.

This case report describes a 46,XY female patient with a novel homozygous nonsense mutation in the LHCGR gene, highlighting the need for molecular analysis in disorders of sexual development.

This letter argues that cicatricial pattern hair loss likely represents end-stage androgenetic alopecia and not a variant of lichen planopilaris, as previously suggested.

This report presents a case of Cronkhite-Canada syndrome in an elderly Indian male, adding to the approximately 450 cases documented worldwide, but introduces no new results about the condition.

Clascoterone safely promotes hair growth similar to minoxidil.

A man was diagnosed with a rare form of lupus after showing unique skin symptoms that responded well to treatment.

This review discusses low level laser therapy for hair loss but reports no new research findings; it serves as an introduction to understanding existing knowledge before upcoming evaluations of recent studies.

This study found that the transcription factor Lhx2 regulates Sonic Hedgehog signaling in mouse retinal progenitor cells, mainly by controlling the expression of co-receptors essential for effective pathway activation during early retinal neurogenesis.

This case report discusses a 58-year-old female diagnosed with oral lichen sclerosus, an extremely rare form of the disorder, which improved following treatment with topical and intralesional corticosteroids, highlighting the importance of recognizing this rare condition in the oral mucosa.

In this study, CSLD3 overexpression in Arabidopsis enhanced root and hypocotyl growth by increasing cell elongation, with root growth highly sensitive to ethylene and phosphate starvation conditions.

A new genetic mutation in the CAST gene may link PLACK syndrome to alopecia areata.
