This article explores the potential of combining biomarkers to assess and improve treatments for chemotherapy-induced alopecia, highlighting the limited availability of data on hair follicle damage markers with and without scalp cooling.

This study found that scalp cooling resulted in visible hair retention in 53% of breast cancer patients undergoing Epirubicin/Cyclophosphamide and Paclitaxel treatment, with factors like hair bulb diameter, shaft diameter, and anagen rate significantly predicting outcomes.

In this review, chemotherapy-induced alopecia in cancer patients is linked to drug pharmacology, genetics, and nutrition, affecting patients' mental health; scalp cooling is highlighted as an effective prevention method, but more research is needed for broader solutions.

This article reviews patient selection and treatment protocols for various light-based hair removal systems but presents no new clinical results.

This study found that long pulsed Nd: YAG laser is a safe and effective method for hair reduction in individuals with skin types IV and V, with significant improvements observed over six sessions.

This study demonstrated that keratin K124 is specific to equine hoof lamellar tissue and established monoclonal antibodies that can specifically recognize K124 without cross-reacting with other tissues.

This study found that proton minibeam radiotherapy demonstrated a potential tissue-sparing effect in epidermis models by spatially confining DNA damage, suggesting reduced side effects in radiotherapy.

This review examines the incidence and management of dermatologic adverse effects from FDA-approved oral targeted cancer therapies, highlighting frequent occurrences like rashes and rarer severe conditions such as Stevens-Johnson Syndrome.

This review synthesizes recent research on how Wnt signaling regulates skin, hair follicle, and nail regeneration, highlighting its compartment-specific roles and discussing targeted strategies for treating conditions like alopecia, chronic wounds, and skin cancer.

This study found that dietary supplementation with collagen, chondroitin sulfate, low-molecular weight hyaluronic acid, Pycnogenol®, and coenzyme Q10 significantly improved skin hydration, elasticity, nail hardness, and hair condition in patients with age-related dermatological changes after 12 weeks.

This article reviews the use of trichoscopy for diagnosing common hair and scalp diseases and introduces a new classification for specific skin surface abnormalities, without presenting new clinical results.

This study found that freezing nitrogen ethanol composite (FNEC) caused less cryoablative damage to surrounding normal tissue than liquid nitrogen in a mouse model of human bone xenograft transplantation.

This study found that 93% of patients treated with adjuvant Paclitaxel and Trastuzumab for early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer experienced mild to moderate hair loss.

This study found that increasing En1 expression in mouse epidermis can convert cutaneous appendages to eccrine sweat glands, suggesting a role for En1 in eccrine gland development.

These guidelines discuss prevention and management strategies for dermatological toxicities but report no new clinical results; they include expert recommendations for conditions like acneiform rash and hand-foot syndrome.

This study investigated the effects of heat-treated Limosilactobacillus fermentum LM1020 on hair growth and reported increased hair density, improved cellular activity, and beneficial scalp microbiota changes in patients with androgenetic alopecia over 24 weeks.

This literature review reported that scalp hypothermia significantly decreases the occurrence of chemotherapy-induced alopecia, increasing effectiveness by 2.7-fold in controlled clinical trials and 3.9-fold in randomized trials, and highlighted a need for standard guidelines for its use.

This study found that a combination of insulin-like growth factor-1 and epidermal growth factor significantly promoted hair follicle growth and development in both cultured hair follicles and rabbits.

This study reviewed treatments for chemotherapy-induced hair loss, finding that scalp cooling is FDA-approved for prevention, while minoxidil and bimatoprost may aid post-chemotherapy regrowth. The authors emphasized tailored therapies and the potential utility of tools like trichoscopy and trichogram.

This article provides a narrative on managing dermatologic side effects from cancer therapies and suggests strategies that oncologists could adopt, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses common skin toxicities from cancer treatments and offers management strategies, particularly for regions like Australia and New Zealand with high UV exposure.

This article discusses the early development of hair follicles with a focus on the formation of epidermal thickenings called placodes, reporting no new experimental results.

This article discusses the concept of telogen effluvium, introduced in 1961, characterized by diffuse scalp hair loss due to various triggers, and reports no new clinical findings.

This study reviews current methods and emerging approaches to prevent and treat chemotherapy-induced hair loss, reporting that evidence-based research is needed to validate effective strategies, which could enhance cancer patients’ quality of life and treatment compliance.

This study found that applying a formulation derived from Bacopa procumbens significantly promoted hair growth, pigmentation, and follicular cycle acceleration in mice compared to minoxidil, potentially offering a new therapeutic approach for hair health.

In this study, researchers observed that the skin quality and hair follicle development of Rex rabbits improved when slaughtered in winter compared to summer, with findings suggesting seasonal regulation via multiple signaling pathways affecting fur characteristics.

This review provides a detailed overview of the causes, prevalence, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and treatment of beard alopecia, highlighting conditions such as alopecia areata, pseudofolliculitis barbae, and tinea barbae, and aims to serve as a resource for clinicians handling such cases.

This review highlights the challenges and management strategies associated with persistent chemotherapy-induced alopecia, detailing the psychosocial impacts, follicular pathobiology, and available treatments such as scalp cooling and minoxidil, ultimately proposing a clinical algorithm to transform it into a preventable and manageable condition.

In this study, researchers developed a DNA/GelMA-based cryogel platform that uses phototherapy to combat MRSA infection and promote scarless wound healing, showing enhanced bactericidal activity, tissue regeneration, and anti-inflammatory effects in vivo, suggesting a promising approach for treating infected skin wounds.

In this research, scientists developed a compression therapy model using immobilized mice, successfully analyzing skin without causing injury, and observed increased epidermal thickness and changes in adipocyte volume, with no increase in DNA damage markers.
