This study found that diffuse and pseudo-fringe sign patterns are common in Asian patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, and that treatments combining antiandrogens or antimalarials with topical therapy are effective.

This article proposes a hypothesis for alopecia areata hair loss patterns and provides epidemiological evidence supporting distinct hair loss characteristics between general cases and those with androgenetic alopecia; it presents no new clinical results.

This study suggests that chicken and alligator scales evolved independently through convergent evolution rather than sharing a common origin with avian feathers.

This study reported that trichoscopy revealed distinctive patterns across different autoimmune bullous diseases, suggesting it can be a useful preliminary diagnostic tool for differentiating these conditions.

This study in a Pakistani family identified a novel ST14 gene variant as the likely genetic cause of autosomal recessive ichthyosis with hypotrichosis syndrome.

This study presented a case series of erosive pustular dermatosis on the scalps of elderly patients, noting unusual presentation with hypergranulation tissue and unique dermoscopic vascular patterns, diverging from typical manifestations.

FPHL affects hair density and diameter, causing visible hair loss in older women.

This study found that microRNA levels in hair shafts were significantly decreased in scleroderma patients compared to normal subjects, suggesting they may serve as effective biomarkers.

This article discusses scalp reconstruction techniques using rotation flaps, with no new clinical results reported.

In a study on nude mice, topical application of Chrysanthemum zawadskii extracts stimulated hair growth and increased hair follicle numbers, suggesting potential for alopecia therapy.

This article discusses various types of alopecia relevant to hospital medicine and reports no new clinical findings, emphasizing the need for accurate diagnosis and understanding of associated psychological impacts.

This study found that among patients with seborrheic dermatitis, the "dandelion" vascular conglomerate observed through trichoscopy was correlated with Malassezia scalp colonization.

This paper describes a systematic approach to creating a natural hairline in one session using modern hairline design principles and reports no new clinical results.

This study reported that heterozygous carriers of a mutation in the human hairless gene did not differ from healthy homozygotes in the pattern of androgenetic alopecia.

This case report details a woman with autoimmune primary ovarian insufficiency linked to hormonal contraception discontinuation, who achieved pregnancy through ovarian stimulation and in vitro fertilization despite typically low fertility in such conditions.

In this observational retrospective study, UVF-dermoscopy was found to be more effective than polarized dermoscopy in identifying follicular features and distinguishing between scarring and nonscarring alopecias, particularly in individuals with lighter skin tones.

In this study, researchers found that heterozygous carriers of a mutation in the hairless gene showed no difference in the pattern of androgenetic alopecia compared to unaffected individuals.

This review covers androgenetic alopecia's epidemiology, pathogenesis, current management options, and research trends, concluding that no definitive cure exists despite extensive interest and ongoing genetic research efforts.

In this case report, a 68-year-old Caucasian woman with Brunsting-Perry pemphigoid experienced scarring alopecia, which was effectively managed using intralesional betamethasone and topical mometasone furoate, suggesting this rare condition may be underdiagnosed in scarring alopecia cases.

The researchers reported that pulsed FUS can enhance the tumor-killing effects of cisplatin by unbinding it from albumin in cervical cancer, but further study is needed to measure its selective delivery to tumors.

This research highlights that engineered mice lacking the vitamin D receptor show multiple health issues similar to human vitamin D deficiency, underscoring the widespread impacts of the vitamin D endocrine system.

This review summarizes the cell type distribution and functional significance of human keratins, emphasizing their roles in tumor diagnosis and potential clinical applications, and reports no new clinical findings.

This article discusses the treatment of androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata with finasteride and minoxidil but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the preclinical and clinical data on teriflunomide for multiple sclerosis, highlighting its selective action on immune cells without causing clinical immune suppression, and provides no new clinical results.

This article provides an overview of how dermoscopy can aid in the noninvasive diagnosis of various general dermatological disorders, grouped by clinical presentation, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that loss of Apc due to K14-cre-mediated gene recombination in mice led to aberrant growth in ectodermally derived squamous epithelia, implicating its critical role in specifying epithelial cell fates during embryonic development.

Dermatoscopy and videodermatoscopy are useful for diagnosing and monitoring various skin, hair, and nail conditions.

This study found that hair follicle patterning in development may arise from a combination of epidermal prepattern signals and mesenchymal self-organisation, with fibroblast growth factor and bone morphogenetic protein activities playing key roles.

This study identified a new type II cytokeratin, named K6hf, exclusively expressed in the companion layer of the human hair follicle, distinguishing it from other keratins and suggesting a unique biochemical role.

This research found that feather pattern formation in birds is regulated by a mechanochemical system involving fibroblast growth factor and bone morphogenetic protein signaling, which is altered in the flightless emu and ostrich.
