This study retrospectively analyzed 14 postmenopausal women with frontal fibrosing alopecia, noting that 57% experienced total eyebrow loss, and all received various steroid treatments, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis to potentially delay disease progression.

This study identified that trichoscopy can effectively diagnose frontal fibrosing alopecia by highlighting specific scalp abnormalities in postmenopausal women.

This study generated a transcriptomic map of human hair follicle compartments, providing a database for identifying compartment-specific gene expression which may aid in developing targeted treatments for hair follicle disorders.

This study on feather pattern formation in chicken skin found that inhibiting gap junctional intercellular communication can lead to the emergence of new feather buds in specific spatial patterns, suggesting that GJIC may facilitate Turing-type periodic patterning by propagating inhibitory signals over long distances.

In this study, researchers found that the pCLCA2 protein is expressed in specific areas of pig skin, but its role in skin structure or function remains unclear.

In this study, Dodatek A operationalizes the Functional Androgen Axis framework by defining three system-level indices and an efficiency metric to describe androgen function, incorporating key methodological improvements and acknowledging significant limitations for future empirical validation.

This study found that misexpression of Hoxc8 in mice led to ectopic mammary development and suggests Hox genes may play crucial roles in the regional specification and initiation of cutaneous accessory organs.

Corni Fructus extract may help manage benign prostatic hyperplasia by reducing prostate cell growth and inflammation.

This article discusses the ongoing debate between exclusive follicular unit grafting and combination mini-/micrografts in hair restoration, but reports no new findings and suggests the controversy will persist.

This study reported that connective tissue nevi show distinctive dermoscopic and RCM features, with RCM being particularly helpful for diagnosing lesions of less than one year in duration.

This review discusses central serous chorioretinopathy, detailing its etiology, associated factors, diagnostic imaging, and therapeutic options, but provides no new clinical findings.

The document recommends a multidisciplinary approach and experience sharing to advance facial feminization surgery as a medical field.

In this study, researchers observed that phospholipid-calcium carbonate hybrid nanoparticles effectively delivered Tofacitinib citrate topically, which significantly inhibited hair follicle apoptosis and promoted hair growth in a mouse model of chemotherapy-induced alopecia, compared to a traditional Tofacitinib solution.

Elderly patients with CCCA were all African American with low vitamin D, but no iron or zinc deficiencies, and no hormonal imbalances compared to younger patients.

This study examined epidemiological data on patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia in Greece and found demographic patterns consistent with international studies.

This study observed distinct differences in hair characteristics between individuals with cardio-facio-cutaneous syndrome and Costello syndrome, highlighting the role of the RAS pathway in these RASopathies and aiding clinical diagnosis.

This study observed that frontal fibrosing alopecia predominantly affects postmenopausal women, can be associated with lichen planus, and may lead to progressive hairline recession, though this progression is not consistent in all cases.

This study found that the novel culture condition gHFEM, which includes Y-27632 and bFGF, optimally promotes the proliferation and pluripotency of goat hair follicle stem cells in vitro.

This study observed two cases of frontal fibrosing alopecia developing on preexisting vitiligo, suggesting a potential causal link between the two conditions.

This review covers the clinical presentation and challenges in treating frontal fibrosing alopecia in postmenopausal women and concludes that more research is needed to understand its etiology and develop effective treatments.

This review discusses the applications of confocal laser scanning microscopy in visualizing fluorescent compounds within the skin, noting its potential for tracking drug carriers and enhancing penetration studies, but reports no new results.

Contact allergies might contribute to frontal fibrosing alopecia.

In this study, researchers developed an enhanced rodent model of trigeminal neuralgia, demonstrating that structural and functional changes in the anterior cingulate cortex are linked to chronic pain and emotional disturbances, and chemogenetic inhibition of specific neurons could alleviate symptoms.

This study found that CRISPR/Cas9-induced loss-of-function mutations in the FGF5 gene significantly increased wool length and yield in genetically modified Chinese Merino sheep compared to wild-type controls.

This study developed a mouse model to monitor hair follicle cycling macroscopically through live bioluminescence imaging, enabling detailed analysis of hair cycle and propagation dynamics influenced by environmental factors.

In this study, high levels of the protein Flii in mice were associated with worsened symptoms and inflammation in ulcerative colitis, suggesting Flii may inhibit mucosal healing.

This study reports no new clinical results but suggests a potential relationship between frontal fibrosing alopecia and cutaneous conditions such as rosacea, indicating a need for further research.

This case report suggests that in African-American patients, the histology of Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia may resemble lichen planopilaris, indicating a potential diagnostic challenge.
