The authors concluded that using an expanded temporoparieto-occipital scalp flap for sideburn reconstruction provides satisfactory hair direction and inconspicuous scars in both the donor and recipient areas, with few complications.

Using tissue expanders for scalp reconstruction in patients with extensive Aplasia Cutis Congenita is effective and has minimal complications.

This study found that adding galeotomies to subgaleal tissue expander placement for post-burn alopecia resulted in faster scalp expansion and reduced complications of expander extrusion.

This study reports that using a combined approach of free osteoseptocutaneous fibula flap and temporal artery-based scalp flap provided satisfactory aesthetic and functional outcomes in reconstructing gunshot-inflicted composite mandibular defects in males.

This article discusses the use of tissue expansion combined with older surgical techniques to repair large scalp defects and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that the "flying-wings" expanded scalp flap technique effectively restored hemiscalp defects in children following burns, achieving pleasing aesthetic results and proper hair growth direction with minimal complications.

This report describes successful scalp resurfacing using serial tissue expansion with a tissue expander in two patients with large lesions, suggesting this method can effectively treat extensive hairless scalp areas.

This study found that using overexpanded tissue expanders effectively restored the hairy scalp in 25 patients with scalp alopecia, resulting in high satisfaction and minimal complications, emphasizing the importance of careful patient selection and follow-up.

This review discusses techniques for repairing large scalp defects, emphasizing the combination of older methods like scalp reduction and tissue expansion with modern hair restoration surgery to achieve satisfactory results, despite challenges like compromised scalp viability due to factors like trauma or radiation.

This case study reports successful treatment of partial scalp alopecia secondary to a repaired occipital encephalocele using the tissue expansion technique.

This study found that the patch assay effectively reconstituted mature hair follicles using culture-expanded human fetal cells and may serve as a method to assess cell trichogenicity.

In this study using the C3H/HeJ mouse model of alopecia areata, researchers found that hyperexpanded CD8⁺ T cell clones were sufficient to initiate disease, establishing a causal link between T cell clonality and pathogenicity.

This study suggests that targeting skin-infiltrated memory phenotype T cells could offer a new therapeutic approach to manage lymphopenia-related diseases like graft-versus-host disease and immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome.

This article discusses skin extension as a technique for androgenetic alopecia management and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that intraoperative tissue expansion increased the amount of excised scalp by 20-30% during scalp reduction surgery for male pattern alopecia.

This study conducted in Yemen involving 50 patients found that tissue expansion was effective for correcting scars and defects from post-burn and post-war injuries, achieving a 78% satisfaction rate with minimal complications.

In this study, the researchers found that treatment with the JAK inhibitor tofacitinib in alopecia areata patients may reduce clonal CD8+ T cell expansions but does not eliminate them entirely, which could contribute to disease relapse.

This study found that serum-free expanded hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells (hfMSCs), derived from hair plucking, significantly improved cartilage repair in a murine model despite minimal engraftment, suggesting their effectiveness through a paracrine mechanism.

This study reports that a novel frameshift mutation in the HTRA1 gene in a CARASIL pedigree led to reduced HTRA1 protein and increased TGF-β1 expression, potentially causing severe CARASIL and peripheral small arterial disease.

In this study, ASC-enriched autologous fat grafting was found to be more effective and satisfying than conventional fat grafting for treating facial contour deformities with hyperpigmentation.

This study identified 77 genes with significant expression changes in expanded human skin, suggesting possible mechanisms for skin regeneration during tissue expansion, including previously unreported genes like HOXA5, HOXB2, and AP1.

This case report describes a 43-year-old woman with scarring burn alopecia treated with tissue expansion and local flap reconstruction, who experienced reversible acute hair loss (Telogen Effluvium) after the procedure.

This study examines the role of hair follicle stem cells in epidermal regeneration during skin soft tissue expansion, proposing a potential method for their cellular and molecular regulation.

In this study, researchers found that while both hair follicles and skin dermis-derived neural crest stem cells are suitable for large-scale manufacturing, skin dermis cells grow faster and are easier to obtain.

This study found that non-blinded assessors in randomized clinical trials exaggerated the effects of experimental interventions by about 29% compared to blinded assessors, indicating a significant potential for observer bias in treatment evaluations.

This study found that in alopecia areata, treatment with the oral JAK-inhibitor tofacitinib decreased clonally expanded CD8⁺ T cells in the scalp, but many expanded clones did not completely disappear, potentially leading to relapse after stopping treatment.

In this study, the SAFE System for follicular unit extraction demonstrated a favorable average follicle transection rate of 6.14% and is accessible for physicians with basic technical skills, showing promise for wider adoption.

This study found a previously unreported ST14 gene mutation in a patient with ichthyosis-hypotrichosis syndrome, highlighting novel skin and hair characteristics and emphasizing the critical role of the Asp482 amino acid in matriptase activation.

This study found that the Foxn1(-/-) nude phenotype significantly influences epithelial progeny in skin, with notable changes in stem cell niches not achievable in other models.

This study found that conditioned media from SHED stem cells cultured in STK2 media significantly stimulated hair growth in mice more effectively than media from HFSCs.
