In this case study, a 35-year-old man with recalcitrant folliculitis decalvans was successfully treated with Erbium-YAG laser, showing rapid improvement without hair loss, though further clinical studies are needed to define its benefits more comprehensively.

This study found that mechanical disruption of the desmosomal cadherin Dsg3 in hair follicle stem cells activates them from quiescence, highlighting its role as a key regulator of stem cell quiescence and epithelial niche integrity.

Tofacitinib may effectively treat folliculitis decalvans.

This case series reports successful treatment of refractory folliculitis decalvans using surgical excision with second-intention healing and guarded high-tension suturing, resulting in long-term remission without recurrence over a 10–24 month follow-up period.

A new reliable scale improves accuracy in measuring hair density and treatment response.

In this study, a high prevalence of Demodex mites was observed among workers in the mining, textile, and food factory industries, with textile workers showing the highest rates, although differences between groups were not statistically significant.

This study analyzed dosimetric quantities in x-ray microbeam radiation therapy and found that the peak-to-valley dose ratio decreases with depth in the irradiated object.

In this study, researchers identified PSENEN mutations that can lead to a form of Dowling-Degos disease, characterized by follicular hyperkeratosis and an increased susceptibility to acne inversa, especially in the presence of certain trigger factors.

This study found that combining diagonal earlobe crease with lipoprotein(a) provides strong diagnostic value for coronary heart disease.

In this study of folliculitis decalvans, researchers found that compound follicular structures in scalp biopsies are primarily composed of terminal anagen follicles, surrounded by fibrosis and inflammatory cell infiltrate, which could enhance understanding of this condition.

In this experimental study, there was no impact of the surrounding ferromagnetic film on the magnetization reversal processes in submicrometric antidot arrays, though a significant increase in coercivity was observed.

This study demonstrated that murine monoclonal antibodies can reveal specific patterns of desmosomal cadherin expression, Dsc1 and Dsc3, in human tissues and cultured cells using immunofluorescence microscopy.

This study suggests that decorin may help maintain hair follicle stem cells and its reduced expression could contribute to age-related hair loss.

Hair diameter diversity could improve androgenetic alopecia assessment and treatment planning.

This study found that ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) may play a significant role in regulating human hair growth and hair cycle changes, as inhibiting ODC reduced follicular keratinocyte proliferation and human hair growth.

This article discusses the advantages and different techniques of dermoscopy for skin lesion visualization and reviewing no new clinical results; it emphasizes the integration of polarized light and the importance of training.

This study found that acellular dermal matrix scaffolds may facilitate full-thickness skin wound healing by promoting a pro-regenerative immune response through M2 macrophage polarization via the Lamtor1 pathway.

This study developed a new competitive 5alpha-reductase inhibitor with an IC(50) of 0.84 microM using a novel chemical structure.

In this study, topical dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) doubled sebum production in women without systemic side effects, suggesting it may be a safe treatment for reduced sebum output related to menopause.

This study tested five different brands of hair building fibers, examining their electrostatic and dielectric properties as well as analyzing their fiber structure with scanning electron microscopy.

This study introduced a new adaptive microrhizotron for non-destructive observation of pepper root traits, finding that specific installation patterns significantly enhanced root interception probability while effectively measuring root architecture for plant research.

This study systematically characterized the nanomechanical properties of human hair, such as hardness and elastic modulus, across different ethnicities and treatment conditions using nanoindentation and scanning electron microscopy.

This study found that VDR deficiency in mice leads to various skin pathologies but does not affect the phenotype or function of Langerhans cells.

This study found that desmocollin 1 is crucial for strong adhesion and barrier maintenance in the mouse epidermis, with its absence leading to skin and hair issues resembling chronic dermatitis.

Hair fibers break by cuticle cell slipping, shape changing, cuticle fraying, and surface cracking when stretched under specific conditions.

This research presents the Dodatek A model, elaborating on androgen function through new mathematical indices and methodological improvements, shifting focus from serum hormone concentrations to system interactions to better describe androgen activity comprehensively.

In this study, researchers found that using a handheld digital microscope, hair diameter was a better determinant of perceived alopecia severity in androgenetic alopecia than hair density.

This study found that the culture conditions, not species-specific differences, determined whether sika deer dermal papilla cells adopted a 3D spheroidal or 2D monolayer growth pattern, influencing their hair-inducing ability.

This study found that intradermal administration of adipose-derived stem cell–conditioned medium significantly increased hair density and dermal thickness, suggesting potential regenerative effects on both hair follicles and the interfollicular scalp in patients with alopecia.
