This report discusses cases of frontal fibrosing alopecia developing after hair transplantation for androgenetic alopecia, without presenting new clinical findings.

This pilot study found that examining changes in scalp scales after scraping may effectively distinguish seborrheic dermatitis associated with androgenetic alopecia from fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution.

In this study, FGF5-knockout Dorper sheep generated using CRISPR/Cas9 showed increased fine-wool and active hair-follicle density, suggesting potential therapeutic applications for androgen alopecia.

This study found that oral minoxidil can improve hair and eyebrow growth and increase the density of the frontotemporal hairline in patients with FFA, though adverse effects were reported by a third of participants.

This study demonstrated that FGF5s acts as an inhibitor of FGF5 in regulating hair growth cycles in cashmere goat dermal papilla cells.

In this case report, a woman initially misdiagnosed with rosacea was later correctly diagnosed with frontal fibrosing alopecia after further examination and treated with oral finasteride and hydroxychloroquine to stabilize her condition.

This paper considers fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva as a segmental progeroid syndrome, which may help uncover mechanisms of normal aging and suggest targets for new treatments.

In this study, LED therapy for eyebrow loss in older females with frontal fibrosing alopecia significantly increased eyebrow hair count after 10 treatments and maintained improvement at 6 months, indicating it could be a promising and well-tolerated treatment option.

This study found that prolonged tofacitinib treatment in adult Indian patients with moderate-to-severe alopecia areata was associated with a high regrowth rate, which varied with factors like age at disease onset and treatment duration.

Oral tofacitinib may be an effective and tolerable treatment for some people with severe alopecia areata.

This study found that mutations in the FGF5 gene are the primary genetic factor causing long hair in domestic cats through an autosomal recessive mechanism.

This study developed a faster method for analyzing fatty acid ethyl esters in hair to help detect alcohol consumption levels, showing potential for applications in forensic and clinical settings.

This review discusses the acyl-CoA synthetase very-long-chain (ACSVL) enzyme family, including its biochemical characteristics, tissue expression, and involvement in lipid metabolism, but presents no new experimental results.

This study in Arabidopsis thaliana found that exposure to volatile compounds from Penicillium aurantiogriseum promotes root hair growth through signaling involving RALF22, ethylene, auxin, and photosynthesis, and that RALF22 plays a crucial role in the plants' response to these compounds.

This study found that women with female pattern hair loss exhibited hormonal imbalances, with the Free Androgen Index being a particularly effective diagnostic marker.

This paper reviews the challenges of treating alopecia areata affecting eyelashes and discusses the risks associated with traditional therapies; it reports no new clinical results.

This study observed that insurance coverage for oral tofacitinib in alopecia areata patients was difficult to obtain, with 71% of patients ultimately not receiving approval despite the drug's efficacy as an off-label treatment.

This prospective study observed that low-dose oral minoxidil improved anterior hairline and eyebrow coverage in adult women with frontal fibrosing alopecia and was generally well-tolerated.

This case report illustrates that fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution may be misdiagnosed as androgenetic alopecia due to similar hair loss patterns, but distinctive trichoscopic and histopathologic features help differentiate it.

In this retrospective study, tofacitinib showed promise as a treatment for alopecia areata, with 46.5% of patients experiencing a very good response and minimal adverse effects, suggesting it could be a primary option for moderate to severe cases.

This systematic review observed that most studies found a higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome in women with female androgenetic alopecia, suggesting it may be a marker for metabolic abnormalities and cardiovascular risk, though some regional studies reported no significant association.

This review examines the characteristics of frontal fibrosing alopecia in postmenopausal women, highlighting the importance of biopsy for early diagnosis and potential treatment to prevent disease progression.

In this study, ACF sponges with 10% fucoidan significantly promoted wound healing and hair follicle regeneration in rats, showing improved hemostatic and antibacterial performance compared to other formulations.

This study found that a new FAW-FS algorithm improved recognition of depression in patients with androgenic alopecia, and comprehensive psychological interventions positively impacted their rehabilitation outcomes.

This study reports that pediatric alopecia areata in Faisalabad predominantly affects boys, often involves the scalp, and is significantly associated with family history of psoriasis and atopic disorders.

This case report highlights an atypical presentation of favus in an immunocompetent adult, where a psoriasiform plaque over the 'bindi' area was successfully treated with systemic itraconazole, achieving complete resolution without relapse. Simple stains proved essential for diagnosis in this resource-limited setting.

Fucoidan may help regrow hair and reduce inflammation in hair loss.

In this observational study, treatment with oral isotretinoin was reported to stabilize hair loss in patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, offering potential guidance for clinicians on its therapeutic use, with implications for improving affected patients' self-esteem.

This study reports that oral tofacitinib treatment in a patient with refractory lichen planus pigmentosus and frontal fibrosing alopecia resulted in near-complete resolution of hyperpigmentation and cessation of hairline recession over 18 months, and suggests it may be a promising therapy for these challenging conditions.

Hair transplantation might work for some people with frontal fibrosing alopecia, but more research is needed.
