This review compiles existing data on frontal fibrosing alopecia and highlights the promise of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors as a treatment option, while noting the need for clarity on its cause and progression.

This study found that the loss of a functional hr gene in mice leads to premature and abnormal hair follicle regression, disrupting normal hair cycling and architecture.

This study found that Follicular Maps, derived from trichoscopic images, remained consistent over time and unaffected by hair cycling or noncicatricial alopecia, offering a precise tool for diagnosing and monitoring hair and scalp conditions.

This review discusses the enigmatic nature of frontal fibrosing alopecia and reports no clinical results; the authors stress the need for further research.

This review discusses the non-follicular skin manifestations of frontal fibrosing alopecia and how they affect diagnosis and treatment, but reports no new clinical results.

This source describes a case of a 12-year-old male diagnosed with folliculotropic mycosis fungoides, presenting with an asymptomatic, erythematous plaque. Histology and immunohistochemistry confirmed FMF, which is typically rare in children and marked by follicular infiltration by CD4+ lymphocytes.

In a laboratory setting, this study found that overexpression of the FGF5 short form in cultured keratinocytes increased hepatic growth factor gene expression, suggesting a potential role in hair growth.

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.

This review discusses folliculotropic mycosis fungoides, highlighting its diagnostic criteria and therapeutic strategies based on disease staging, but does not report new clinical findings.

Men with a certain type of hair loss often use facial moisturizers, and a specific antibiotic treatment may help another hair condition.

This prospective study in Morocco reported on 20 cases of frontal fibrosing alopecia, finding that dermoscopy played a key role in diagnosing and managing the condition, which can increasingly affect premenopausal women.

This study found that FZD2 is crucial for hair follicle formation and postnatal growth in mice and has a novel role in regulating early epidermal development, including stratification and cornification.

TCHHL1 is a protein important for hair growth, found in hair follicles.

This study found that ultraviolet-induced fluorescence trichoscopy can help differentiate between scarring and non-scarring alopecia and between psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis.

This study involved 69 hair experts using a Delphi process to achieve consensus on treating frontal fibrosing alopecia, finding strong agreement on disease monitoring but less on physical and systemic therapies, indicating the need for more research.

This study identified four circulating microRNAs as highly predictive of frontal fibrosing alopecia status, suggesting potential roles in diagnostics and disease understanding.

This report describes a case where a woman with frontal fibrosing alopecia initially presented with symptoms resembling rosacea, but further investigation led to a diagnosis of FFA, resulting in a treatment change to oral finasteride and hydroxychloroquine.

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 article discusses the pseudo 'fringe sign' in frontal fibrosing alopecia, highlighting that it is not solely related to traction, and it reports no new clinical results.

A 64-year-old man had a rare skin cancer near his ear, unresponsive to antibiotics, with specific skin and hair follicle changes.

This study examined the application of new clinical guidelines for diagnosing frontal fibrosing alopecia in 18 men, highlighting that current diagnostic criteria may often overlook early beard involvement and sideburn recession.

This study found that follicular unit transplantation using specific techniques may improve the natural appearance of transplanted hair in patients with male-pattern hair loss.

This meta-analysis suggests a significant association between the use of facial sunscreen and moisturizer and frontal fibrosing alopecia, while finding no significant relationship with hair products or treatments.

This review summarizes the current treatment modalities for frontal fibrosing alopecia and provides a practical guide for clinicians, but reports no new clinical results.

This case study reports successful treatment of frontal fibrosing alopecia with daily 2.5mg finasteride in a 77-year-old woman.

This study found that thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) acts as a potent stimulator of hair growth in human scalp hair follicles, promoting elongation and prolonging the anagen phase.

This study found that the absence of Hif-p4h-2 in specific mouse skin cells disrupted hair follicle development, leading to hair loss due to irregular keratin formation and pathway signaling.

This article reviews the challenges of treating frontal fibrosing alopecia and the potential role of hair transplantation, noting the lack of effective medical treatments and uncertainty surrounding transplant outcomes.

This study describes a newly observed "inflammatory vellus involvement" pattern in early frontal fibrosing alopecia, which may lead to misdiagnosis due to the absence of typical histological features.

This study identifies unique gene expression patterns in specialized fibroblasts within adult hair follicles, which advances understanding of their role in tissue regeneration.
