In this case report, a 64-year-old woman developed alopecia areata after starting the IL-17A inhibitor secukinumab for psoriasis, highlighting a potential rare side effect of this treatment, with only three similar cases reported in the literature.

This study found that the natural extract e-CAF promotes the proliferation and migration of human hair dermal papilla cells in vitro, suggesting potential benefits for skin regeneration and tissue repair.

This paper presents two cases of hair tourniquet syndrome and suggests washing baby socks inside out as a potential preventative measure.

This study found that the immune-competent B6. Cg‐Tyr c−2J Hr hr /J congenic mouse line had a more pronounced delayed sunburn response and different proliferative skin reactions to UV exposure compared to SKH 1 mice.

This study found that finasteride-loaded microspheres effectively treated androgenic alopecia in a mouse model, showing similar hair growth effects to orally-administered finasteride.

This study found that oral contraceptive pills improve mild hirsutism, while flutamide and spironolactone are beneficial for more severe cases, but other therapies show inconsistent or no benefit.

This study provided 18 evidence-based recommendations for managing acne vulgaris, strongly endorsing treatments like benzoyl peroxide, topical retinoids, and oral isotretinoin for severe cases, and issued conditional recommendations for therapies like salicylic acid and spironolactone, while offering good practice statements on combining treatment methods.

This review discusses the challenges and perspectives of using platelet-rich plasma in burn and wound management, noting that current variability in its composition and application prevents clear conclusions on its effectiveness.

This study concluded that prepubertal girls with hypertrichosis have androgen receptors with enhanced sensitivity, which may contribute to their increased body hair growth.

This study confirmed omalizumab's safety but noted that hair loss was more prevalent than previously reported, with side effects influencing treatment decisions especially in patients with reduced medication effectiveness.

This study found that deleting ceramide synthase 4 in skin epidermis stem cells disrupts hair follicle and skin barrier function, leading to immune responses similar to atopic dermatitis, due to imbalances in lipid composition affecting differentiation.

This article reviews global insights on how COVID-19 has transformed the practice of dermatology, but it reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the characteristics and potential clinical applications of platelet-rich plasma in Brazil, emphasizing the need for standardized protocols and regulatory oversight to ensure safety and efficacy.

This study concluded that a green tea extract hair tonic was stable, promoted more hair growth than 2.5% minoxidil, and did not cause skin irritation.

This study suggests that exogenous retinoic acid can alter the morphogenesis pathway of developing skin appendages when applied during the placodal stage, leading to changes like feather formation in atypical regions of chick embryos.

In this study, researchers analyzed data from Spain to find that alopecia areata is more prevalent in adults, with a point prevalence of 0.44% in 2021; they also noted significant healthcare costs and comorbidities, highlighting an unmet treatment need given limited systemic treatment use.

In this study, researchers found that keratinocyte-specific deletion of the autophagy mediator Atg16l1 in mice heightened skin inflammation and cancer responses, altered hair follicle stem cell activity, and sensitized keratinocytes to cell death.
