This report describes the third known case of lipedematous scalp in a 51-year-old woman, marked by progressive thickening of the scalp without hair loss, and notes its association with early meningitis symptoms.

This pilot study reported significant improvement in hair restoration and patient satisfaction with the use of fractional carbon dioxide laser followed by platelet-rich plasma, showing greater hair density increases using higher laser pulse energy settings in individuals with androgenetic alopecia.

This study evaluated the effects of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on endometriosis but found no statistically significant overall difference in endometriotic foci size reduction between treated and control groups.

This study found that topical diphenylcyclopropenone was effective in treating severe alopecia areata but had a high relapse rate and was often accompanied by side effects like eczema and lymphadenopathy.

A specific RNA molecule blocks hair growth by affecting a protein related to hair loss conditions.

GLABRA2 represses root hair formation by inhibiting a specific gene.

This study found that in Liaoning cashmere goats, overexpression of the PIP5K1A gene enhances skin fibroblast proliferation, while interference with this gene reverses melatonin-induced proliferation, and PIP5K1A regulates certain miRNA expressions, suggesting a role in improving cashmere yield and quality.

This review discusses the role of PPAR-γ in the pathogenesis of primary cicatricial alopecia, including its involvement in lichen planopilaris and treatment trials using PPAR-agonists, and 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 case study suggests that intense inflammation after photodynamic therapy may trigger or worsen fibrosing alopecia in susceptible individuals.

In this study, ALP knockdown significantly impaired the hair follicle-inducing capacity of human dermal papilla spheres, highlighting a critical role for ALP in hair follicle neogenesis.

This review reports no new clinical results but discusses fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution as a distinct scarring alopecia with characteristics of both androgenetic alopecia and lichen planopilaris.

This study reported that platelet-rich plasma injections led to only temporary improvement in vellus hair characteristics in temporal triangular alopecia, suggesting it may not be an effective long-term treatment.

This review discusses the classification of lichen planopilaris and its subtypes under the proposed term "lichenoid alopecias," suggesting they exist along a clinical and histological spectrum.

This study found that TPA treatment transiently induces high levels of ODC in mouse epidermal cells, particularly around hair follicles, with localization reduced by retinoic acid or cycloheximide pretreatment.

This study found that Fructus Ligustri Lucidi water extract significantly increased proliferation in human hair dermal papilla cells, potentially promoting hair growth by activating ERK and Akt pathways.

This study found that full thickness wounds in Lanyu pigs led to altered molecular expression and abnormal skin structure, without regenerating key epithelial cells thought to aid in skin regeneration.

This review discusses the application of low-level light therapy for hair loss treatment, particularly androgenetic alopecia, and reports no new clinical results; the authors suggest consideration of light source characteristics and potential pros and cons.

This study found that both 5-ALA and Photofrin can effectively destroy human microvascular endothelial cells in vitro and cause tissue necrosis in vivo, with Photofrin showing greater efficacy at lower concentrations or power densities.

This study examined 3D-printed scaffolds coated with polydopamine and observed that they significantly enhanced osteogenesis and angiogenesis in vitro and in a rat cranium defect model, suggesting their potential for repairing large bone defects.

This study found that platelet lysate produced higher follicular regeneration in hair restoration surgeries compared to activated PRP and saline, with significant gains in both follicular unit and hair density.

This study found that Pdgfα signaling is crucial for maintaining dermal adipose tissue in mice by initiating dermal adipocyte stem cell proliferation, with implications for age-related skin defects.

This study demonstrated that lactate dehydrogenase activity is notably high in quiescent hair follicle stem cells within mouse skin using a specific enzymatic activity assay.

In this study, researchers found that the gene LRRC15 was overexpressed in dermal papilla cells from balding areas compared to non-balding areas in patients with androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that mice lacking sPLA2-IIE had distinct skin abnormalities, particularly affecting hair follicles, highlighting the differing roles of sPLA2 isoforms in mouse skin.

This study reported a rare case of pityriasis rubra pilaris-like skin reaction in an 18-year-old woman after starting ponatinib treatment for relapsed Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia, which resolved after treatment adjustment and did not recur over 15 months.

This study found that PRMT5 inhibitors showed potent anti-tumor activity in models of adenoid cystic carcinoma and that combining these inhibitors with lenvatinib may have additional growth-inhibitory effects.

This study found that low-fluence intense pulsed light promoted hair growth in C57BL/6 mice by inducing an earlier and prolonged anagen phase and activating the WNT/β-catenin pathway.

This case report describes a 5-year-old girl with childhood discoid lupus erythematosus, where treatment led to reversal of scarring alopecia and hair regrowth.
