This article discusses central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, highlighting its prevalence, potential genetic factors, and management challenges, but reports no new clinical conclusions and calls for further research.

This study investigated the TG5 gene polymorphism in Lithuanian beef cattle, finding that the CC genotype is associated with higher productivity traits, such as live weight and carcass weight, compared to other genotypes, and noted a statistically significant impact on these traits.

Trichoscopy helped diagnose and treat a child's fungal scalp infection by spotting specific hair shapes.

In this study, researchers found that combining cryotherapy with triamcinolone injections is equally effective as triamcinolone alone for treating patchy alopecia areata on the scalp and face, with no significant difference in outcomes between the two methods.

This study observed that basal cell carcinomas with matrical differentiation may derive from hair follicles, with .-catenin potentially playing a key role in tumor development and differentiation.

This study identified a high proportion of dual TCR Treg cells in both lymphoid and non-lymphoid tissues of mice, revealing their tissue specificity, TCR repertoire characteristics, and functional phenotypes.

This study identified a specific SNP in the CACNB4 gene associated with a higher risk of chemotherapy-induced alopecia in breast cancer patients, which may help develop interventions to improve their quality of life.

This study, conducted at Montefiore Medical Center, reports that central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia predominantly affects middle-aged Black or African American women, often presenting without symptoms, which may delay diagnosis and treatment. The study underscores the need for a specific ICD-10 code for better epidemiological studies.

In this study, sublingual tofacitinib achieved a longer estimated half-life than oral administration in treatment-resistant alopecia areata patients, potentially supporting daily dosing; overall treatment response was modest.

This study found that the HairCheck® device, demonstrating high correlation between its Hair Mass Index and hair characteristics such as strand number and diameter, may be an effective tool for assessing hair mass changes in alopecia patients.

This article provides a reference guide for various dermatological terms, treatments, and conditions, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study reported that topical ω‐0‐acylceramide improved skin barrier function in Jack Russell Terriers with TGM1-deficient autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis, normalizing skin pH and reducing transepidermal water loss.

This study found that cryptotanshinone improved bone mass, inhibited osteoclast differentiation, and protected against kidney damage in ovariectomized rats, suggesting potential benefits for clinical use.

In a systematic review and meta-analysis, the researchers found that intralesional triamcinolone acetonide was more effective than cryotherapy for achieving significant hair regrowth in patients with patchy alopecia areata, although both treatments had distinct safety profiles.

ATP-sensitive potassium channels are important for hair growth.

This paper suggests intralesional cidofovir as a potentially effective treatment for SCC with no systemic toxicity observed, but surgical excision remains the standard for its curative outcomes and thorough evaluation.

In this case report, a female patient with Graham-Little-Piccardi-Lassueur Syndrome and hidradenitis suppurativa showed significant improvement in symptoms, including hair loss and lesions, after six months of treatment with tofacitinib, with no recurrence or adverse effects over a two-year follow-up.

This systematic review reported that habit reversal training showed the most consistent benefit for treating pediatric trichotillomania, while evidence for pharmacological treatments and alternative therapies like N-acetylcysteine remains insufficient, highlighting the need for early behavioral intervention and further research into standardized treatment protocols.

This study found that the peach gene CTG134 mediates auxin-ethylene crosstalk, affecting root hair growth and hormone-regulated processes in plants.

This study found that a regimen combining cyproterone acetate and testosterone buciclate induced reversible azoospermia in bonnet monkeys, highlighting its potential as an effective male contraceptive.

Patients with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia may have a higher risk of breast and colorectal cancer.

The researchers reported that dPGS-PCL as a carrier improved the penetration of tofacitinib in an ex-vivo human skin model compared to free tofacitinib, but did not show significant differences in inhibiting IL-6 and IL-8 during short incubation.

This source reports on advances in stimulus-responsive nanoparticle-based PROTACs (nano-PROTACs), which aim to overcome existing challenges like poor cell permeability and systemic off-target effects by enabling controlled protein degradation through endogenous or exogenous stimuli, potentially enhancing therapeutic efficacy and reducing toxicity.

This study suggests that activating retinoic acid signalling can inhibit Wnt signalling and induce regression in certain skin tumors, providing potential therapeutic strategies for tumor regression.

In this retrospective study, tofacitinib showed promise as a treatment for alopecia areata, with 46.5% of patients experiencing a very good response and minimal adverse effects, suggesting it could be a primary option for moderate to severe cases.

The researchers reported a case where treatment with tofacitinib improved both hair loss and skin lesions in a patient with Graham-Little-Piccardi-Lassueur Syndrome and hidradenitis suppurativa over six months, with no recurrence or adverse events during two-year follow-up.

The researchers reported that in a mouse model of alopecia areata, tofacitinib treatment influenced disease progression by modulating CD8⁺ T cell infiltration through the linoleic acid metabolism and magnesium ion pathway, offering insights into potential treatment approaches.

This article reviews central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, particularly in women of African descent, and explains its progression and symptoms but provides no new clinical findings.

This review examines the outcomes of treating Brazilian patients with alopecia universalis using tofacitinib and highlights the need for randomized controlled trials to determine optimal dosing and duration.

Tanshinone IIA helps protect tissue from low oxygen damage by activating certain cell pathways.
