In this study, researchers observed that a hidden scalp condition could contribute to acne keloidalis nuchae and potentially other primary cicatricial alopecias, impacting their diagnosis and treatment.

This review found that prolonged use of face masks during the COVID-19 pandemic increased the incidence of facial skin conditions like maskne and dermatitis, particularly affecting women and young people, and suggests prevention and management strategies including skincare routines, mask material choice, and therapeutic approaches.

This study examines the formulation and effectiveness of a natural hair gel made with Mussaenda frondosa leaf extract for its potential anti-dandruff benefits, highlighting its safety and additional advantages for promoting hair and scalp health.

This review discusses the challenge of managing folliculitis decalvans, agreeing that treatment aims to stop inflammation and hair loss but noting that achieving results is difficult and may require long-term therapy.

This review discusses the development of electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds for promoting angiogenesis in tissue engineering but notes that their clinical application beyond bone and skin repair is still limited.

This study found that the contribution of the hair follicle pathway to skin permeation of chemicals can be predicted using lipophilicity, with hydrophilic chemicals showing greater permeation reduction from hair follicle plugging than lipophilic ones.

This article provides contact information for Bruce A. Morgan and features no new research findings.

This study identified novel compounds from Bombax ceiba stem bark, including shamimicin, with potent hypotensive effects, and reported that a specific fraction had adverse effects on heart, liver, and kidneys in mice.

This study reported that a 10-week course of clindamycin and rifampicin was commonly used for treating folliculitis decalvans but the evidence on its efficacy remains inconclusive due to the low quality of available studies.

This article reviews the role of polarity proteins in epidermal morphogenesis and homeostasis and discusses how their alteration may contribute to skin disease, but reports no new experimental findings.

This study reported that women with female androgenetic alopecia had significantly lower zinc levels in both serum and hair, and lower hair iron levels, compared to healthy controls.

This study conducted molecular docking and ADME property analysis on 144 newly designed isatin analogs, suggesting they exhibit lead-like properties for targeting EGFR enzymes.

Topical dapsone gel reduced flare-ups in folliculitis decalvans without side effects.

This study suggests that increased Wnt signaling may cause melanocyte stem cell exhaustion, leading to hair graying in aged mice by promoting excessive differentiation of melanocytes.

In this study, collagen I decellularized scaffolds enhanced the growth and melanotic properties of hair follicle melanocytes, suggesting their potential as effective carriers for transplantation in vitiligo treatment.

This review provides an in-depth analysis of the structure and function of c-kit activation, and its role in both normal physiological and pathological conditions, with no new research findings reported.

This study identified a cytochrome P450 enzyme, CYP-pa1 from Pseudonocardia autotrophica, as responsible for the specific hydroxylation of cyclosporin A at the 9th N-methyl leucine, suggesting potential for biotechnological applications.

Trichoscopy helps tell different hair loss types apart using specific scalp and hair patterns.

This review suggests that GLP-1 receptor agonists may improve various dermatologic conditions, but larger studies are needed to confirm these findings.

This systematic review found conflicting evidence on hair loss related to GLP-1 receptor agonists in adults with type 2 diabetes or obesity, with some studies noting hair regrowth and others reporting hair loss as a side effect. Further research is needed to understand this relationship.

In this study, intralesional triamcinolone acetonide combined with 5-fluorouracil was more effective for treating keloids, showing a good to excellent response in 95% of cases and fewer side effects, compared to triamcinolone acetonide alone, which achieved a 70% response rate.

This study observed that both intradermotherapy with 5% minoxidil and topical minoxidil application resulted in perceived improvements in hair density and thickness among patients with androgenetic alopecia, with no significant difference between the two groups.

This study found no significant difference in serum Vitamin D levels between children with alopecia areata and healthy controls, nor was there any correlation between Vitamin D levels and the severity, duration, or pattern of the condition, or nail changes.

This case report presents a 30-year-old man experiencing baldness.

This study found that fullerene nanomaterials can significantly enhance hair growth and increase hair follicle numbers in both shaved and bald mouse models, as well as in cultured human skin sections.

In this study, baricitinib treatment improved the differentiation of skin-derived precursors into adipocytes for diseases like Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, suggesting potential benefits when combined with lonafarnib.

This review surveys the chemical composition and various uses of jojoba oil in medicine and industry but presents no new clinical results.

In this study involving South African breast cancer patients, researchers identified certain genetic variations in cytochrome P450 and other enzymes potentially linked to differences in tamoxifen treatment outcomes, suggesting a need for more comprehensive pharmacogenomic studies to optimize therapy in African populations.

This chapter reviews the hair follicle's role in drug and chemical penetration through the skin but does not present new experimental findings.

This study found that patients with primary cicatricial alopecia are at higher risk of developing various comorbidities, including systemic lupus erythematosus, hypothyroidism, and dermatological conditions, compared to controls.
