This review discusses the significance of elastic tissue staining in dermatopathology, particularly for diagnosing primary elastic tissue disorders and other skin conditions, but reports no new clinical results.

This study concludes that elastic tissue staining is the most reliable method for identifying scarring patterns in alopecia biopsy specimens, and polarized microscopy may provide specific insights for nonscarring alopecia.

This study reported that patterns of fibrosis identified through elastin staining may help distinguish specific forms of primary cicatricial alopecia in biopsy specimens, with certain patterns suggesting particular diagnoses.

This study found that the Elastic Verhoeff–Van Gieson stain may help differentiate between follicular streamers and scars in cicatricial and noncicatricial alopecias by highlighting differences in the elastic fiber network on horizontal scalp biopsy sections.

This study found that the Verhoeff-Van Gieson stain effectively distinguishes scarred from non-scarred dermis and aids in classifying types of permanent alopecia based on elastic tissue patterns.

This review discusses the current knowledge on using special and immunohistochemical stains for diagnosing hair disorders, concluding that no stains are recommended for routine use in hair pathology.

This review outlines the classification, histopathologic presentation, and pathogenetic concepts of scarring and nonscarring alopecias, reporting no new clinical results and emphasizing the need for clinicopathologic correlation.

This review provides a practical approach to diagnosing pseudopelade of Brocq and updates on treatment options but reports no new clinical results.

EF and PXE not closely related.

This study highlights the distinct distribution patterns of extracellular matrix components in the scalp skin of male and female androgenetic alopecia patients, with increased elastin staining intensity observed in male cases.

This paper discusses various histologic features to distinguish types of alopecia and reports no new clinical findings.

This article on pediculosis lacks an abstract and does not report new research findings.

This review discusses the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, and treatment of frontal fibrosing alopecia, noting the lack of clinical trial data and limited observational treatment results.

Lichen planopilaris is a rare, chronic condition causing hair loss, mainly in middle-aged women, and early treatment is important to prevent permanent baldness.

The document concludes that correct diagnosis of alopecia types is crucial, scalp biopsies are important, and more research is needed.

This study found that treatment with mercuric acetate modifies the elastic properties of Lincoln wool fibers more rapidly than human hair, explaining the enhanced unshrinkable quality of wool under certain conditions.

This study used multiphoton microscopy to successfully visualize rabbit skin microstructure, highlighting its noninvasive potential for future skin research related to diseases and wound healing.

In this study, the authors reported that in rat skin affected by localized calciphylaxis, although regeneration occurs and some connective tissue remains, the regenerate resembles scar tissue with reduced hair presence and lacks restored elastic fibers.

In this study, histologic analysis of rat skin with localized calciphylaxis indicated that although the skin showed potential for regeneration, the result was incomplete and resembled scar tissue with diminished hair presence.

This study found that elastin-like recombinamer (ELR) wound dressings promote tissue regeneration and stability without rejection in ex vivo and in vivo models, indicating potential for hard-to-heal wound treatment.

This study found that photoexposure significantly increased the gene expression of altered elastin, MMP12, and LOX, as well as the protein expression of tropoelastin and fibrillin-1, in skin models.

This study applied a new RGB trichrome stain to human skin samples, revealing distinct structural staining in normal tissues and potential proteoglycan-rich zones in hair follicles.

Minoxidil treatment in mice preserved the integrity of elastic lamellae and improved arterial biomechanical properties, especially in females, suggesting it could be an anti-arterial aging agent potentially suitable for female-targeted therapies.

In this study, minoxidil treatment in aged mice increased elastin expression and improved aortic structure and function, suggesting its potential for arterial remodeling in aging.

This study found that micro-needling with cosmeceuticals or platelet-rich plasma significantly improved wrinkles, skin laxity, scar softening, and hair growth over 12 months, with minimal side effects, and that the best results occur with pigment and platelet massaging between 5 to 30 minutes post-treatment.

In this study, combining microneedle and sublative fractional radiofrequency treatments significantly improved skin tightening, texture, collagen organization, and satisfaction in individuals with moderate photoaging, while reducing abnormal elastin after three months.

In this study, researchers observed that hidradenitis suppurativa lesions were associated with reduced collagen and elastin, and increased neovascularization in areas with chronic inflammation.

This study observed that mast cells and increased collagen and elastic fibers in the scalp may contribute to male pattern hair loss, but additional research is needed for further understanding.

This article describes a case of late-onset focal dermal elastosis in a 73-year-old woman, characterized by flat pale yellow lesions and increased normal elastic fibers, distinct from pseudoxanthoma elasticum.

This study found that tianeptine may suppress the transition to catagen, promoting hair growth in a stress-induced alopecia areata mouse model.
