Sunscreen use may increase the risk of frontal fibrosing alopecia.

Keratin filaments are crucial for cell structure and protection, with ongoing discoveries about their genes and functions.

This study presents a novel hydrogel scaffold made from tilapia collagen, which when activated by ultrasound, reprograms macrophages to promote wound healing, enhance angiogenesis, and stimulate hair follicle regeneration, offering a potential new method for treating inflammatory wounds.

This paper describes the development of unique hydrogel skin scaffolds from plant-derived polysaccharide mixtures that may offer improved biocompatibility and mechanical properties for use in artificial skin.

This case report describes a successful frontal region reconstruction using Cerament for a 50-year-old man, resulting in satisfactory forehead morphology and improved appearance four years post-surgery.

This study developed a zinc-infused egg white and GelMA hydrogel that enhanced cellular processes crucial for wound healing, including fibroblast proliferation and collagen expression, and demonstrated promising biocompatibility and bioactivity in vivo, suggesting potential effectiveness in repairing damaged tissues.

This study examined 56 Thai patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, finding frontotemporal hairline recession and eyebrow loss were common, and reported better disease stabilization with combination treatments of topical corticosteroids with hydroxychloroquine or finasteride.

This study found that serious complications were more likely after using muscle-only free flaps for skull coverage compared to composite flaps.

Researchers demonstrated that a new vaccine platform using antigen-loaded hydrogels enhanced humoral immune responses in mice, producing stronger antigen-specific antibody levels compared to the conventional adjuvant Alum, and offering promising protective capabilities against influenza virus.

This study found that adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells produced more anti-inflammatory and pro-angiogenic cytokines on electrospun scaffolds, which enhanced wound healing and macrophage activity in a rat model.

This study found that radiofrequency treatment, with or without hydrolyzed collagen, increased dermis thickness, neocollagenesis, and FGF2 overexpression in rat skin tissue.

In diabetic mice, this study reported that the multifunctional hydrogel CPGel achieved complete wound closure in 21 days, showing promise in improving chronic wound healing through antibacterial, antioxidative, and tissue regeneration properties.

This study observed that frontal fibrosing alopecia in postmenopausal women involves selective follicular inflammation, and finasteride treatment may slow disease progression, suggesting a potential androgen-related component.

This study reported that platelet-rich fibrin (iPRF) therapy may improve scalp health and hair appearance in women, showing beneficial changes in scalp hydration, redness, oiliness, and hair density, thickness, and loss.

This review article examines the current understanding of frontal fibrosing alopecia, noting its prevalence in different demographics and the roles of genetic and environmental factors in its pathogenesis, while highlighting that treatment approaches remain varied and lack standardization.

This study suggests that infrared thermography may be a useful noninvasive tool for diagnosing active phases of frontal fibrosing alopecia when combined with dermoscopy.

In this study, keratin‐based hydrogels incorporating calcium ions were developed to effectively deliver atorvastatin, showing potential for localized anti‐fibrotic therapy through controlled drug release and maintaining drug bioactivity in vitro, supported by thorough physicochemical and mechanical characterization.

This article discusses the development of liquid platelet-rich fibrin as a potential improvement over platelet-rich plasma for treating androgenetic alopecia and reports no new clinical results.

This study reports a case of frontal fibrosing alopecia associated with hepatitis C treatment involving interferon and ribavirin.

This study found that applying silymarin gel topically on rat wounds improved fibroblast proliferation, collagen formation, and wound closure more than a gel-base alone or no treatment.

This study formulated and tested eco-friendly herbal hair gels using extracts from curry leaf, flaxseed, and Aloe vera, finding that formulation F9 showed optimal viscosity, spreadability, superior antifungal activity, and stability over six months, making it a promising sustainable alternative to synthetic hair gels.

This review discusses the applications of autologous platelet concentrates in aesthetic medicine, highlighting that platelet-rich fibrin is favored over platelet-rich plasma due to cost-effectiveness and efficacy, but reports no new clinical results.

This review suggests that injectable platelet-rich fibrin therapy shows promise for improving hair density in androgenetic alopecia and enhancing facial skin texture and elasticity, but larger studies are needed to confirm its effectiveness.

This study in Morocco found that all women with frontal fibrosing alopecia presented frontotemporal hairline recession, with trichoscopic features such as perifollicular erythema and follicular hyperkeratosis being indicative of the condition, and suggested a potential link between cosmetic products or emotional factors and the disease.

This study provides evidence that Fernblock® upregulates antioxidant pathways in cultured keratinocytes, potentially protecting against damage from fine pollutant particles.

This report from the UK reviews the literature on post-menopausal frontal fibrosing alopecia and highlights its under-recognition and distinctive characteristics compared to lichen planopilaris, but does not provide new results.

This study found that an autologous keratin and fibroblast tissue filler was effective for correcting moderate-severe depressed scars, with the majority of patients experiencing excellent improvement and no severe complications.

This study developed thermo-reversible glycol chitosan hydrogels that effectively form and maintain 3D cell spheroids within one day, offering a simplified method for creating biologically realistic cultures for tissue regeneration and drug screening applications.

This study found that scaffolds made from human hair proteins supported better cell growth and interactions than control surfaces, indicating potential use in tissue engineering.

This study found that injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) showed improved hair growth in males with Type VI and Type VII alopecia, which are typically difficult to treat.
