This article is a letter discussing optical coherence tomography-assisted diagnosis of follicular keratosis of the chin and reports no new research findings.

In this case report, a 65-year-old woman was diagnosed with folliculotropic mycosis fungoides after experiencing scarring alopecia and intense pruritus, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis due to its aggressive nature.

This study observed that Black women with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia had a higher prevalence of uterine leiomyomas compared to those with lichen planopilaris, suggesting a potential association between the conditions.

This study found that the TLR3 L412F genetic variant is associated with severe viral infections, especially CMV, and immune dysfunction in a subgroup of chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis patients.

This case study of a subfertile couple highlighted the importance of considering haemochromatosis, particularly involving the C282Y mutation of the HFE gene, in patients with endocrine disorders linked to hypogonadism.

This article reviews the genetic diversity, clinical symptoms, diagnosis, and prevention strategies of feline calicivirus in domestic cats, but reports no new clinical results; it emphasizes the importance of vaccination and proper hygiene.

This study found that individuals with frontal fibrosing alopecia have increased odds of thyroid disease, lupus erythematous, vitiligo, and heart disease, supporting the consideration of FFA as a systemic disorder.

Targeting immune pathways like JAK/STAT may help treat frontal fibrosing alopecia.

In this study, researchers found that hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stem cells, modified to overexpress extracellular matrix protein 1, significantly improved liver function and reduced liver damage in cirrhotic mice by inhibiting hepatic stellate cell activation and TGF-β/Smad signaling.

This study developed a method to culture and maintain chicken feather follicles in vitro, preserving structure and biology similar to their in vivo state, though some gene expression was altered.

In this study, researchers found that mice lacking the transcription factor FOXC1 in their hair follicle stem cells had increased rounds of hair regeneration but experienced hair thinning due to impaired ability to maintain stem cell quiescence and adhesion.

This study found that the rs 1570360 polymorphism and the T-G-C haplotype of the VEGF gene may be associated with a protective factor against polycystic ovary syndrome in a Brazilian population.

This study found that FGF5-/- rabbits exhibited a significant long hair phenotype by prolonging the anagen phase, suggesting FGF5 acts as a negative regulator of hair growth.

Frontal fibrosing alopecia can affect men's beards and leads to permanent hair loss.

In this study, Flii overexpression in mice enhanced fingertip regeneration and nail formation after both distal and proximal amputations, suggesting a role in digit and hair follicle regeneration possibly involving Wnt signaling.

This case report documents the first confirmed mutation-proved instance of Clouston syndrome in a large Chinese-Malaysian family, linked to the c.263C>T (A88V) mutation in the GJB6 gene, with no available treatment but highlighting the importance of genetic counseling.

This meta-analysis found a significant positive association between frontal fibrosing alopecia and both sunscreen and moisturizer use, with the moisturizer association significant only in males.

This study found that autophagy is impaired in Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome-associated renal tumors and identified that the FLCN protein interacts with key autophagy components regulated by ULK1.

In this case series, researchers reported on the clinical characteristics and treatment approaches for Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia in four cases, emphasizing the importance of early identification and intervention to manage this scarring hair loss disorder that primarily affects the frontal hairline and eyebrows.

This review assessed trichoscopic findings in folliculotropic mycosis fungoides of the scalp, reporting features like milky-red globules and distinct vascular patterns, but noted the predominance of small studies and the need for larger research to validate trichoscopy's diagnostic utility for this condition.

This study found that the guided SEFFI technique for facial volume restoration and anti-aging is minimally invasive with a low complication rate, suggesting it as a promising treatment option.

This study found that Fgf20 signaling facilitates fibroblast migration and influences dermal condensate cell development during hair follicle morphogenesis by supporting cellular activities such as cell cycle exit and specific cell shape adoption.

This study identified a 505-bp indel variant in the FGF5 gene associated with cashmere growth in goats, which may serve as a molecular marker in cashmere goat breeding programs.

This study reported that prompt diagnosis and treatment with 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors and topical immunomodulators are key to mitigating the effects of frontal fibrosing alopecia and preventing permanent hair loss.

Mice hair follicles take in the amino acid cystine.

This study found that FGF21 suppresses inflammation induced by C. acnes in both human skin cells and mouse models, suggesting potential use in acne treatment.

This study introduces ficlatuzumab, an anti-HGF monoclonal antibody, in combination with gefitinib in a phase 2 trial to address EGFR TKI resistance in Asian NSCLC patients.

This article presents a case study of a 50-year-old woman with frontal fibrosing alopecia and discusses the role of dermoscopy in differentiating it from other types of alopecia, reporting no new clinical results.

This study proposes that seasonal alopecia and reproductive changes in six female fossas at the San Diego Zoo may be linked to hormonal changes associated with reproductive activity.
