This study found that ablating cyclin D3 in a Ras-dependent skin carcinogenesis model increased apoptosis in hair follicles, reducing papilloma development but potentially facilitating malignant progression when CDK6 is overexpressed.

This study found that immunotherapy with DNCB or DPCP showed better therapeutic effects than intralesional triamcinolone acetonide for patients with bald areas greater than 50 cm², including alopecia totalis and universalis.

HEM-13HDC, a mix of 8 herbal extracts, helps hair grow and affects hair growth at a molecular level.

USB videodermatoscopes are a practical and affordable alternative for diagnosing skin conditions.

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 laboratory conditions, this study found that the Dongeui Hot Spring Water Complex, containing sea slug extract, demonstrated enhanced antioxidant activity and promoted hair papilla cell proliferation compared to a control, suggesting potential benefits for scalp health and hair loss prevention.

This meta-analysis reported that stem cell-derived conditioned medium effectively increases hair density and thickness in patients with alopecia, with longer treatment durations showing greater improvements.

Monocyte-derived dendritic cells play a key role in UVB-induced skin sensitivity and inflammation.

This Viewpoint discusses the utility of dermoscope in routine practice and how familiarity with dynamic vs static trichoscopy may address its limitations, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the paracrine effects of adipose tissue-derived stem cells on surrounding cells and tissues, noting their potential therapeutic benefits, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that finasteride's solubility and bioavailability were improved when using a dimethyl-β-cyclodextrin inclusion complex compared to the drug alone.

A single medium, PRIME AIRLIFT, supports better human hair follicle formation in grafts.

This study reported that adipocyte-derived mesenchymal stem cells-conditioned media significantly improved hair density, thickness, and follicular hair units in telogen effluvium patients, with positive outcomes in 70%-92% of cases, regardless of age.

This study found that 1,4-n-butylene dimaleate can restore the mechanical properties of reduced hair by reconnecting disulfide bonds and improving the hair's structural integrity using a thiol-Michael click reaction, compared to untreated reduced hair.

This study found that a new compounded topical solution for alopecia was clinically tolerable and did not cause irritation, while also showing potential to enhance hair growth through fibroblast proliferation and gene expression.

In this case report, an 11-year-old girl with dissecting cellulitis of the scalp showed an excellent response to oral isotretinoin after other treatments failed, highlighting the treatment challenges and need for awareness in managing this rare condition.

Water extract of cacumen platycladi helps hair growth by affecting specific cell pathways.

In this study, researchers used trichoscopy to establish standardized findings for normal hair and scalp characteristics in 360 healthy males, noting significant age-related differences in hair diameter variability and identifying potential pathological indicators like colored dots and scarring not present in healthy individuals.

This study reviews the efficacy and safety of advanced therapies like TNFα inhibitors and IL-17/IL-23 inhibitors for dissecting cellulitis of the scalp, finding TNFα inhibitors particularly effective for severe or refractory cases, although prospective validation is needed for early intervention benefits.

New method, hair distribution width (HDW), improves accuracy in diagnosing androgenetic alopecia (AGA).

This study found that dimethylpabamidopropyl laurdimonium tosylate, a quaternary ammonium surfactant, adsorbs onto human scalp hair with kinetic and isotherm behaviors fitting specific models, changing hair fiber wettability from hydrophobic to hydrophilic.

Small white dots on the scalp seen with a dermoscope correspond to sweat ducts and vary with different hair disorders.

In this case report, a 28-year-old Chinese man with severe dissecting cellulitis of the scalp experienced nodules resolution and hair regrowth after treatment with ixekizumab and tofacitinib, marking the first reported use of this drug combination for the condition.

This study found that tannin improved symptoms of contact dermatitis in mice and may have positively influenced hair-related gene expression related to hair growth impediments caused by dermatitis.

This study found that a new-type artificial xenogenic derma exhibited better biocompatibility and dermal tissue regeneration ability compared to cross-linked acellular dermal matrix in a mouse model.

This study suggests that a biomaterial-based approach using microneedles and ion solutions to deliver SiO3 2− ions may disrupt inflammatory cycles and improve outcomes in inflammatory dilated cardiomyopathy (iDCM).

This study identified a new variety of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia that includes patchy hair loss on the lateral and posterior scalp in African-American women, which could be misdiagnosed as traction alopecia without dermatoscopy and pathology.
