This case series describes five patients with rare facial lichen planopilaris, detailing the clinical presentation and treatment of their pigmentary changes and scarring alopecia.

This study used cryoelectron microscopy to unveil the structure of LPA-bound human LPAR6, revealing unique ligand binding and recognition modes distinct from LPAR1, which may aid in designing targeted compounds for hair loss and cancer.

Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM) is a useful tool for studying how drugs interact with skin and diagnosing skin disorders, despite some limitations.

Up to 10% of hair loss patients might have early signs of a condition called Lichen Planopilaris.

In this cross-sectional study, both follicular lichen planus and discoid lupus erythematosus were identified as common causes of scarring alopecia, affecting young people with a more favorable prognosis for hair regrowth in discoid lupus erythematosus compared to follicular lichen planus.

This review discusses the formation of gintonin LPAs in ginseng during processing and reports no new clinical results; the authors suggest potential benefits against degenerative diseases through LPA receptors.

The authors reported a case of significant scalp edema accompanying lichen planopilaris in a middle-aged woman, suggesting a potential new variant of edematous scalp conditions as a reaction to scarring alopecia.

This case report describes a 47-year-old patient with scarred alopecia diagnosed as discoid lupus erythematosus, where treatment with multiple medications led to clinical improvement.

PLLA injections can cause hair loss and skin issues.

This study compares the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in patients with lichen planopilaris/frontal fibrosing alopecia to the general US population, highlighting an area not well-explored in existing research.

This overview discusses primary cicatricial alopecias, focusing on lichen planopilaris, and highlights the challenges in treatment and the progressive nature of hair loss despite symptom management, without providing new clinical results.

This study found that diode laser reduced axillary hair more effectively but with greater pain than intense pulsed light, with both methods producing lasting and safe results.

In this study, researchers suggested that adipose-derived exosomes could be a promising treatment option for lichen planopilaris, particularly in cases resistant to standard therapies, by potentially aiding in symptom management and hair preservation.

This case study reports a 20-year-old laborer's progressive hair loss with scalp and body lesions, diagnosed as lichen planopilaris, leading to scarring alopecia resembling male-pattern baldness.

This review discusses the role of trichoscopy in diagnosing lichen planopilaris and reports no clinical results; the authors emphasize early recognition to potentially prevent permanent scarring.

This review outlines current and potential cosmetic and dermatological applications of low-level light therapy, like photorejuvenation and hair regrowth, and reports no new clinical findings.

This case report details a rare instance of granulomatosis disciformis chronica et progressiva affecting both skin and lymph node tissue in a 31-year-old man.

This review discusses lysophosphatidic acid's role in neuropathic pain and cholestatic itch, highlighting its complex signaling pathways, but reports no new clinical results.

This study explored using a chitosan oligomer coating for topical delivery of dutasteride-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers, aiming to reduce systemic exposure and cytotoxicity.

This review highlights that platelet-rich plasma and adipose-derived stem cell therapy may offer safe and promising improvements for managing symptoms of genital lichen sclerosus, with a potential synergistic benefit when combined.

This study developed and tested nanostructured lipid carriers for topical dutasteride delivery, finding them stable, low in cytotoxicity and non-irritating, with no drug permeation through pig ear skin over 48 hours.

This study found that lncRNA-599547 positively regulates the expression of the Wnt10b gene by interacting with miR-15b-5p, enhancing the inductive property of dermal papilla cells in cashmere goats.

Lichen Planus is a less common condition affecting skin and mucous membranes, with various types and associated risk factors, challenging to diagnose, significantly impacts life quality, and may have a risk of cancerous changes in oral lesions.

The authors concluded that low energy laser therapy may serve as a useful complementary treatment for skin diseases such as lichen planus, infectious finger pulpits, scalp alopecia, and crural ulcers.

This study identified a missense mutation in the rat Desmoglein 4 gene, causing abnormal hair shaft development in lanceolate hair mutant rats by disrupting a critical calcium binding site.

This case report describes a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus who developed Degos disease and non-scarring alopecia, highlighting dermoscopy's role in diagnosis and treatment prognosis.

This study found that laminin-511 is crucial for hair morphogenesis in mice, as it influences primary cilia formation and dermal papilla maintenance through noggin and sonic hedgehog signaling.

This study reviewed 41 cases of lichen planus pigmentosus in patients from southeastern Tunisia, highlighting its prevalence among older individuals and notable differences compared to patterns observed in an Indian cohort.

Lichen planus pigmentosus and fibrosing frontal alopecia in Colombia are likely different stages of the same disease.

This study found that both finasteride and dutasteride significantly reduced L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia in a rat model of Parkinson's disease, with dutasteride showing greater effectiveness at lower doses.
