This article reports on a typical case of lichen planopilaris with foreign-body granulomas around hair shaft material, suggesting these may be an additional criterion for diagnosing late-stage LPP/FFA.

This study concluded that intralesional lyophilized growth factor injections are safe and improve trichoscopic hair parameters and clinical scores in patients with female pattern hair loss.

This review discusses frontal fibrosing alopecia, noting its frequent misdiagnosis and highlighting the need for larger studies to better understand its epidemiology, causes, and treatment options; it reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that Fos protein expression is closely linked to epithelial cell differentiation, particularly during cornification and cell death, with overexpression observed in keratinization-blocked mutant epidermis.

In this study, hydrophilic EG7 PTK-UR foams promoted better wound healing and tissue integration in a porcine model compared to more hydrophobic PTK-UR variants and a polyester-based alternative, while matching a collagen-based standard.

Dermoscopy helps diagnose frontal fibrosing alopecia by identifying specific scalp features.

This article discusses the use of PRP and long-acting PRP for treating Female Pattern Hair Loss, emphasizing their potential benefits, but reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes the first known instance of fixed drug eruption linked to finasteride, confirmed through an oral challenge test that reproduced symptoms at the same skin site.

This case report describes three pediatric cases of frontal fibrosing alopecia, a condition typically seen in postmenopausal women, including a unique instance involving female twins.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome had significantly higher levels of the protein fetuin-A compared to healthy controls.

Contact allergies might contribute to frontal fibrosing alopecia.

This study found that plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) as an adjuvant to follicular unit extraction (FUE) surgery may enhance hair graft performance and reduce post-surgical inflammation and pain in hair loss patients.

This study found that the peptide derivative beta-Ala-Pro-Dab-NHbenzyl may reduce wrinkles and sebum production in human skin by inhibiting dipeptidyl peptidase 4, suggesting potential for acne and skin inflammation treatment.

This case report suggests that identifying hyperpigmentation on the upper eyelid with specific dermoscopy patterns could help diagnose facial lichen planus pigmentosus without needing a facial biopsy.

In this study, the researchers found no superiority of combining 308-nm excimer laser with intralesional corticosteroid over corticosteroid alone for treating frontal fibrosing alopecia, and reported side effects such as erythema and postinflammatory hyperpigmentation in both treatment groups.

PCFCL may have unrecognized subtypes and needs more research.

This report describes two cases where pemphigus lesions developed at sites of cosmetic procedures, suggesting these treatments might trigger the disease and should be distinguished from other post-surgery complications.

This article introduces a new grading system called the FPHL Severity Index to better identify and monitor early stages of female pattern hair loss using clinical criteria.

This study found that epidermal growth factor receptor and mitogen activated protein kinase inhibitors down-regulate PD-L1 expression in human hair follicles, which may contribute to sterile folliculitis in treated patients.

This study developed a stable, cosmetically appealing formulation for the topical delivery of the peptide FOL-005, enhancing skin permeation and maintaining stability by keeping the peptide solid and in a water-free environment with particle sizes under 10 µm.

This study established a simple, accurate, and precise HPLC method for determining the content and content uniformity of finasteride capsules.

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.

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 that Prosopis farcta is a rich source of phenolic compounds with strong antioxidant activity, suggesting its potential for use in food, beverage, feed, and pharmaceutical applications.

This study developed a precise and reproducible method for estimating finasteride in tablet formulations using a colorimetric reaction with specific reagents.

This study found that mrp/plf-mRNA expression in murine skin increases in response to different tumor promoters, suggesting its potential as a short-term biomarker for chemical carcinogenesis.

Phospholipid-coated nanoparticles penetrate hair follicles better than others, especially in pig ears.

This study highlights the potential of forensic DNA phenotyping using Next Generation Sequencing to predict eye, hair, and skin color, aiding criminal investigations, though adoption faces challenges due to incomplete genetic understanding and ethical, social, and legal concerns.
