This case report describes a patient in whom vitiligo was induced by diphenylcyclopropenone treatment for alopecia universalis, highlighting the potential overlap of susceptibility genes between the two conditions.

This review addresses alopecia areata, emphasizing its autoimmune nature, unpredictable course, and lack of preventive or curative treatments, while noting standard and emerging therapies such as topical steroids and Janus kinase inhibitors.

This paper reports a case of alopecia triangularis congenita in a 22-year-old woman, combined with androgenetic alopecia, and highlights successful treatment with internal and topical antiandrogens.

This review discusses various types of primary cicatricial alopecias, categorized by the predominant type of inflammatory cells involved, and reports no new clinical results.

This study examines the use of diphenylcyclopropenone in treating alopecia areata patients at the University Hospital Würzburg and investigates how the treatment affects patients' quality of life.

This chapter reviews the presence and roles of stem cells in various body systems, focusing on their lifelong function in animals and humans, and reports no new experimental findings.

This article discusses the treatment of androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata with finasteride and minoxidil but reports no new clinical results.

This study identifies a bipotent stem cell in adult hair follicles that self-renews and contributes to dermal sheath and papilla cell populations, potentially aiding hair regrowth after injury, disease, or aging.

This forum article in BMC Biology discusses evolving views on the concept of the stem cell niche, highlighting varied mechanisms and the need for better understanding of the niche's roles and functions.

This review discusses recent findings on the plasticity and regulation of epithelial stem cells and reports no new experimental results.

This review discusses the advancements in understanding and treating androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata but reports no clinical findings; the authors emphasize the need for further research on molecular control mechanisms.

This study found that the transcription factor Gata6 plays a crucial role in adult mouse hair follicle regeneration by promoting the renewal and preventing DNA damage of rapidly proliferating progenitor cells.

This review discusses the use of contact sensitizers for topical immunotherapy in dermatological conditions such as alopecia areata and viral warts, but it reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, researchers developed a new photoactivatable Cre recombinase mouse model, DiLiCre, which allows precise light-induced genetic modifications and cell tracing, demonstrating its effectiveness for advancing biological and biomedical research.

This study found that exposing adult esophageal epithelial cells to skin stroma can induce them to transition toward a hair follicle identity, with HIF1a playing a crucial role in this conversion process.

This study found that dedifferentiated corneal epithelial cells can revert to a stem-cell-like state, aiding tissue homeostasis and repair, with this plasticity limited to the epithelial lineage and enhanced by niche-derived cytokines.

This study reviewed evidence suggesting that systemic corticosteroids, particularly in pulse regimens like dexamethasone and betamethasone oral mini-pulse, effectively slow vitiligo progression and support repigmentation, while offering a favorable safety profile compared to continuous therapy.

This overview discusses the impact of alopecia on quality of life and finds that while various factors can cause hair loss, herbal therapies offer promising, accessible, and low-cost complementary treatment options, although further clinical validation is needed.

This review discusses how herbal therapies may help manage alopecia and improve quality of life, noting their potential benefits like lower cost and fewer side effects, but emphasizes that more clinical studies are needed for validation.

This review summarizes current evidence on the use of contact immunotherapy, excluding alopecia areata, for various skin diseases, discussing its safety, efficacy, and the underlying mechanisms as reported from studies in the PubMed database.

Some chemicals can permanently or temporarily remove color from skin and hair, which can be distressing and is not well-regulated in cosmetics.

This review outlines the mechanisms, clinical features, and management strategies for alopecia areata and presents no new experimental findings.

This review discusses recent advancements in therapies for ichthyosis, highlighting promising prospects in protein replacement and gene therapy, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that combining weekly transverse needling sessions with mini-punch grafting significantly accelerated and enhanced repigmentation in stable, resistant non-segmental vitiligo lesions compared to each procedure alone or non-procedural treatment.

In this study, researchers found that Dicer, but not Tarbp2, plays a crucial role in regulating the growth phase of hair follicles in post-natal mice.
