Alopecia areata often recurs after treatment with diphenylcyclopropenone.

DNCB is highly effective for treating alopecia areata with minimal long-term side effects.

This article discusses central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, noting its prevalence in women of African descent and highlighting the need for further genetic research to improve treatment options; it reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses dissecting cellulitis of the scalp and reports no new clinical findings.

This article reviews central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, focusing on its multifactorial etiology and challenges in clinical diagnosis, and calls for more research and better treatment options.

This review discusses the evolution and ongoing debate about the causes of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in African American women, without presenting new clinical findings.

In this study, analysis of over 800 Iranian patients with epidermolysis bullosa identified 15 with pathogenic PLEC variants, highlighting a correlation between variant locations and phenotypic manifestations of plectinopathies.

This study found that central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia primarily affects adult women of African descent and suggests an association with traumatic hair care practices and delayed diagnosis.

In this study, researchers found that knocking down the transcription factor Csdc2 inhibited the proliferation of dermal papilla cells in cashmere goats, and identified its regulatory relationship with the gene Robo2, providing insights into the genetic mechanisms influencing cashmere fiber growth.

The researchers reported increased ubiquitination of proteins such as the insulin receptor in CYLD cutaneous syndrome skin tumors, suggesting that CYLD dysfunction may affect protein secretion and signaling processes.

In this study, complexation with cyclodextrins was reported to increase the solubility of FIN for potential use in aqueous formulations for treating male androgenic alopecia.

This study identified three new mutations in the VDR ligand-binding domain that may cause dysfunction, and noted that oral calcium and calcidol treatment was effective, but only one patient experienced hair growth.

Hair shaft changes may be linked to CCCA, but their role is unclear.

This study found that nanobubble-encapsulated diclofenac with ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction (DNBs-UTMD) can enhance the anti-tumor efficacy of Doxil® by regulating the tumor immune microenvironment, improving drug uptake, and increasing T cell responses while reducing immune-suppressive cells in the process.

This study reports that a homozygous A1103G mutation in DSG 4 is responsible for localized autosomal recessive hypotrichosis in a 2-year-old Chinese girl, resulting in reduced DSG 4 expression and hair defects.

More research is needed on CCCA in children, especially Black and Asian adolescents.

Direct-to-consumer teledermatology is not effectively reaching underserved populations due to language, technology, and insurance barriers.

This review discusses the toxicities associated with antibody-drug conjugates in breast cancer treatment and proposes strategies for monitoring and managing these adverse effects, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study demonstrated that the differential wetting characterization (DWC) method can effectively differentiate changes in the wetting properties of hair fibers after chemical or physical treatment.

This study reported that the combination of a 308-nm excimer lamp and 10% liquor carbonis detergens significantly improved scalp psoriasis symptoms compared to the excimer lamp alone, with more patients achieving 75% reduction in their Psoriasis Scalp Severity Index.

This review discusses central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in adolescents, noting varied presentation and highlighting genetic and environmental factors, but reports no new clinical findings.

This report describes a Cronkhite-Canada syndrome patient with severe sepsis and disseminated intravascular coagulation successfully treated using combined therapies, including recombinant human soluble thrombomodulin.

This study identified nine pathogenic variants in the PADI3 gene and variants in the S100A3 and TCHH genes in patients with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, suggesting a broader genetic basis for the disease and potential targets for genetic testing and therapies.

In this study, hair shafts from trichothiodystrophy patients with ERCC2 mutations revealed abnormal cuticle structures and protein imbalances compared to normal hair shafts.

This case report describes a 47-year-old woman with dilated cardiomyopathy as the first sign of primary antiphospholipid syndrome, highlighting the need for APS screening in similar patient presentations.

This study concluded that dermoscopy enhances the diagnostic capability for cicatricial alopecia beyond clinical inspection and identified novel dermoscopic features such as blue-grey dots.

This case study describes a 5-year-old boy with vitamin D dependent rickets type 2, motor delays, and alopecia totalis who showed improved biochemical parameters with calcium and calcitriol treatment.

In this retrospective study of eight Saudi children with hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets, researchers observed that adjunctive cinacalcet appeared safe and showed initial promise in improving serum PTH levels, though further investigation is needed to confirm its efficacy.

This study found that the presence of premature desquamation of the inner root sheath in noninflamed hair follicles is a relatively specific marker for diagnosing central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia.
