Avoiding certain allergens in personal care products may improve symptoms for some patients with lichen planopilaris or frontal fibrosing alopecia.

PP405 may help hair growth by activating hair follicle stem cells.

This report describes two cases where lichen planopilaris compromised hair follicles in both donor and recipient areas after follicular unit transplantation, emphasizing the need for a biopsy if lichen planopilaris is suspected.

This case report found that intense focused skin tightening ultrasound reduced excessive underarm sweating by nearly 80% in two patients and was associated with temporary side effects like tenderness and redness.

This study found that over 80% of women treated with paclitaxel who used a hypothermic glycerin-based hydrogel cap preserved at least 50% of their initial hair volume, suggesting scalp cooling may effectively prevent chemotherapy-induced alopecia.

This study reported that mycophenolate mofetil was effective in reducing signs and symptoms of active lichen planopilaris in 83% of patients who had failed multiple prior treatments.

This report identified a family of Iranian siblings with diverse clinical forms of Lichen Planus, suggesting potential genetic and environmental involvement in its pathogenesis.

This study identified a novel splice site mutation in the LIPH gene associated with autosomal recessive woolly hair, contributing to understanding the genetic basis of this condition.

This study identified a novel mutation and confirmed a previous mutation in the LIPH gene in a woman with autosomal recessive woolly hair, expanding the mutation spectrum for this condition.

This study suggests that BLMP-1 is important for timely molting and oscillatory gene expression in C. elegans, indicating a potentially conserved mechanism for rhythmic skin regeneration.

In this preclinical study, researchers developed and evaluated a new non-invasive laser system designed for personalized medical use, showing its potential for chronic disease management and adjunctive fat reduction by offering enhanced treatment precision and adaptability over existing devices.

This study found that patients with lichen planus had significantly higher levels of triglycerides, total cholesterol, and LDL-C, and lower HDL-C compared to healthy controls, suggesting an association with dyslipidaemia.

This study found that in lichen planopilaris, the basement membrane zone of the hair follicles exhibited disrupted and discontinuous staining patterns, potentially contributing to scarring and irreversible hair loss.

This study found that the Wnt pathway activator lithium chloride promotes proliferation and odontoblast differentiation of hair follicle neural crest cells.

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.

This study observed that hormone replacement therapy and autoimmune diseases may be more common among women with frontal fibrosing alopecia compared to those with androgenetic alopecia.

This review assesses low-level laser therapy in plastic surgery and reports that it may improve flap survival and burn scars, but lacks efficacy for venous ulcers, alopecia, and skin aging.

This case report discusses a rare instance of pseudolymphomatous folliculitis in a 19-year-old man, highlighting the challenge in diagnosing PLF due to its low clinical suspicion index and variable initial clinical diagnoses.

This study observed that PCR-based genotyping for cre-loxP mice can lead to errors due to cre-mediated recombination in non-target tissues like tails, affecting the detection of lox alleles.

This study found that PLDζ2 and NPC4 enzymes play distinct roles in lipid remodeling and root hair growth in Arabidopsis under phosphate deficiency, influencing root hair density and length in a tissue- and time-specific manner.

This case report documents the first confirmed mutation-proved instance of Clouston syndrome in a large Chinese-Malaysian family, linked to the c.263C>T (A88V) mutation in the GJB6 gene, with no available treatment but highlighting the importance of genetic counseling.

In this observational study, researchers reported a significant association between COVID-19 infection or vaccination and the development of new-onset lichen planus, suggesting these events, particularly infection, may act as triggers for the condition.

This study found that low-level laser therapy may enhance wound healing and reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation by increasing mitochondrial activity and oxidative stress, leading to greater protein synthesis and cell proliferation.

This study introduced a statistical method, PLACO, which revealed novel genetic regions associated with both Type 2 Diabetes and Prostate Cancer from GWAS data.

This case report describes a rare instance of lichen planus preceding vitiligo in a 13-year-old boy, suggesting a non-coincidental association between the two conditions.

This retrospective study found that applying local skin precooling before scalp nerve block significantly reduced injection site pain during PRP mesotherapy for patients with androgenetic alopecia, compared to those who did not receive precooling, thus improving patient comfort and compliance.

This study found that the L457(3.43)R mutation in the human luteinizing hormone receptor increases phosphodiesterase activity, reducing hormonal response despite elevated basal cAMP levels.

This study found that FDA-cleared devices for preparing platelet-rich plasma showed inconsistent product quality, with variable platelet counts and inadequate quality control performance, suggesting clinical improvement may not rely on platelet concentration.

This case report describes a rare occurrence of primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PCDLBCL-NOS) on the scalp of a 45-year-old female, highlighting its unusual presentation and the initial treatment response but also noting severe subsequent complications.
