This review discusses the challenges in diagnosing primary cicatricial alopecias and explores how improved communication and digital pathology could enhance diagnosis, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that PRP injections, prepared using a digital centrifuge with a large-sized sodium citrate tube at low centrifugation speed, significantly improved hair thickness and terminal hair percentage in women with pattern hair loss, with similar results across different preparation methods.

This study found that hair transplantation using round grafts improved hair growth in African American women with end-stage CCCA, showing no postoperative scarring in the donor or recipient areas.

This article explores potential risk factors for central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia and suggests that seborrheic dermatitis may play a role in its development, but it reports no new scientific findings.

This paper suggests that to better protect traditional and indigenous knowledge, TKDL should expand its database or establish a separate confidential resource for indigenous, tribal, and nomadic communities.

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

Diagnosing and treating CCCA requires understanding multiple causes and using various diagnostic tools.

This study found that feather patterning is primarily self-organizing and dynamic, relying on both genetic and epigenetic controls, with implications for similar processes like fingerprints and pigmentation.

This study examined the complex morphology of the cornified claw sheath in domesticated cats, uncovering structures and growth patterns that help maintain sharp claw tips essential for climbing and prey capture.

This review examines the increasing clinical applications of dermoscopy in diagnosing various skin conditions and highlights its potential to improve diagnostic accuracy and reduce unnecessary histologic confirmation.

This study found that alopecia-related content on TikTok is generally low in quality, with dermatologist-created videos being higher quality but receiving less engagement compared to personal experience videos.

In this study, a case of a 70-year-old woman with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia showed that using a high-quality hair prosthesis improved her quality of life and mood, as measured by PHQ-9 and Skindex-29 scores, though such wigs are rarely covered by insurance.

Low-dose acitretin helps nail psoriasis, stem cells may treat scarring alopecia, Chinese men have lower baldness rates, lateral foldplasty is good for ingrown toenails, hair diameter helps diagnose female baldness, childhood trauma linked to alopecia areata, certain hair-weaving leads to scalp conditions in African American women, and new methods for hair research and understanding hair and sweat gland development were introduced.

In this systematic review and meta-analysis, the authors examined single-spin versus double-spin centrifugation protocols for PRP in patients with androgenic alopecia and found no significant difference in platelet concentration, hair density, or hair types between the protocols.

This study reviews current methods for making and using platelet-rich plasma and fibrin, emphasizing the variability in clinical outcomes due to differences in preparation protocols, and calls for standardized guidelines and large-scale studies for better effectiveness in regenerative medicine.

This study concluded that using Plasma gel and PRP as autologous collagen biostimulators improved acne scars and skin density, demonstrating efficiency and safety for facial rejuvenation in clinical evaluations including patient satisfaction.

This review highlights that autologous platelet concentrates, particularly platelet-rich fibrin, have shown potential to enhance healing and outcomes in both dental and medical applications, including injury recovery and aesthetics.

This article discusses the development of liquid platelet-rich fibrin as a potential improvement over platelet-rich plasma for treating androgenetic alopecia and reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the design, properties, and potential applications of smart microneedles, with no new clinical results presented.

This study suggests that lichen planopilaris should be considered as a potential diagnosis in African American women with scarring alopecia, often displaying an "arrowhead" distribution pattern, which may guide treatment strategies.

This study reported that autologous whole fat injection in the scalp considerably increased hair growth in patients with androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that patients with tropical chronic pancreatitis exhibited significantly reduced plasma amino acid levels and antioxidant capacity, with folate deficiency identified as a key factor in hyperhomocysteinemia.

This study found that lower serum melatonin levels were associated with increased skin aging grades among individuals in Ulaanbaatar, suggesting melatonin loss may contribute to earlier skin aging.

This study suggests that a topical emulsion containing Camellia sinensis and Allium cepa extracts may show promise for treating alopecia areata in Wistar rats.

This publication compiles scientific articles from diverse researchers and practitioners across Europe and other regions but provides no new research results.

This article describes standard methods for studying DNA methylation dynamics in mouse skin and hair follicle stem cells but presents no new research findings.

In this study, researchers observed low variability in hair formoterol concentrations for COPD patients with stable adherence, but inter-patient differences and other factors may limit the effectiveness of hair analysis as a reliable tool for assessing medication adherence.

This study evaluated dermoscopic findings in patients with different types of primary cicatricial alopecias, suggesting trichoscopy may aid in differential diagnosis by revealing abnormalities in scalp structures.

This study found that PRP injections improved hair density, quality, and thickness in males with androgenic alopecia compared to placebo, with reported high patient satisfaction and no major side effects.

This review reported that alopecia prevalence and psychosocial impacts vary significantly among migrant and ethnic minority communities due to diverse genetic, environmental, and cultural factors, highlighting needs for culturally competent care and stigma reduction to address disparities and improve access.
