This study suggests that infrared thermography may be a useful noninvasive tool for diagnosing active phases of frontal fibrosing alopecia when combined with dermoscopy.

This review discusses the various factors implicated in the etiology of frontal fibrosing alopecia and notes the need for effective treatments, reporting no new clinical findings.

In this study, deleting the transcriptional pause factor Nelfb in mouse preadipocyte lineages led to defective dermal fat formation and lethal outcomes, while interventions targeting Pparg could rescue adipocyte differentiation and promote dermal white adipose tissue formation, underscoring Nelfb's critical role in adipogenesis.

Lower finasteride doses had more side effects; dutasteride caused back pain; more research needed on post-finasteride syndrome.

This erratum addresses the long-term effects of finasteride on prostate-specific antigen levels but reports no new research findings.

This study found that women with PCOS have higher total PSA levels than controls, and the total PSA level correlates positively with testosterone and free androgen index.

In this case report, a 22-year-old female was diagnosed with follicular Dowling-Degos disease based on clinical and histological findings, with symptoms including skin lesions confined to hair follicles. The report emphasizes the importance of differentiating this rare variant from similar conditions for proper management.

This review summarizes the current treatment modalities for frontal fibrosing alopecia and provides a practical guide for clinicians, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that pubic skin fibroblasts respond to androgens, increasing 5α-reductase activity via an androgen receptor-mediated mechanism, suggesting its potential as a marker of androgen action in vitro.

This study observed similar D2-40 expression in scarring and nonscarring alopecia, with some increase in scarring cases, suggesting possible Fos-dependent mechanisms, though more research is needed for definitive conclusions.

This study evaluated the 308-nm excimer laser as an adjuvant treatment for frontal fibrosing alopecia and found it may stabilize hairline recession and improve erythema and perifollicular hyperkeratosis, with transient erythema as the only reported adverse effect.

This study examined the therapeutic response to folliculitis decalvans treatments among 60 patients and found that earlier disease onset was linked to more severe cases, while a combination of rifampicin, clindamycin, tetracyclines, and intralesional steroids was most effective in controlling symptoms.

This study observed that higher PFAS concentrations during adolescence were linked to later pubertal development and lower estradiol levels in females, but not in males, potentially due to PFAS excretion with menstrual fluid.

This review discusses the current understanding of frontal fibrosing alopecia's pathogenesis, highlighting genetic susceptibility, immune response involvement, and possible links to steroid hormones, but reports no new clinical results.

This article proposes renaming frontal fibrosing alopecia to frontal fibrosing alopecia syndrome to better reflect its varied presentations and enhance understanding and treatment approaches.

This study found that in a mouse model of Focal Dermal Hypoplasia, treatment with lithium carbonate improved skin disease symptoms compared to controls, though disease severity varied and posed interpretation challenges.

According to this study, forensic DNA phenotyping using Next Generation Sequencing can reliably predict certain visible traits like eye, hair, and skin color, though its routine implementation in forensics is hindered by incomplete genetic knowledge and ethical concerns in some countries.

This review discusses perceptions and side effects of depot medroxyprogesterone acetate and emphasizes the importance of educating teens to enhance compliance; it reports no new clinical findings.

This study identified putative causal mutations for PCOS among first-degree relatives, although functional analysis of a specific GDF9 mutation was unsuccessful.

This study found that Egyptian women with frontal fibrosing alopecia had lower serum PPARγ levels and a higher occurrence of PPARG gene polymorphism compared to healthy controls, suggesting a potential role for PPARγ in the condition's development.

This study assessed the environmental impact of the drug finasteride on Daphnia magna, finding that both acute and chronic exposure impaired development and reproduction, affected gene expression and metabolism, and altered lipid profiles, highlighting the need to understand pharmaceutical impacts on aquatic ecosystems.

This paper presents two cases of frontal fibrosing alopecia in postmenopausal women, noting challenges in monitoring due to the invasive nature of the diagnostic process.

This study demonstrated that caffeine, minoxidil, and the HIF-1α-stimulating agent deferiprone significantly enhanced dermal papilla cell proliferation in a 3D culture model, suggesting deferiprone as a potential alternative to minoxidil.

This study found that finasteride was rapidly absorbed and extensively metabolized in dogs, with most metabolites excreted in feces, and suggests that higher doses might saturate the metabolism mechanism.

This study found that over-expressing Spry4 and Fgf10 modulates feather stem cells to alter feather morphologies in distinct ways, affecting barb branch formation and tissue structure.

PP405 may help hair growth by activating hair follicle stem cells.

This source describes a case of a 12-year-old male diagnosed with folliculotropic mycosis fungoides, presenting with an asymptomatic, erythematous plaque. Histology and immunohistochemistry confirmed FMF, which is typically rare in children and marked by follicular infiltration by CD4+ lymphocytes.

Contact allergies might contribute to frontal fibrosing alopecia.
