Combining low-level laser therapy with topical corticosteroids effectively improved Lichen Planopilaris symptoms.

In this study, researchers analyzed miRNA and gene expression in the hair follicles of FMD during different hair cycle stages, identifying differential expression patterns and key pathways involved in hair follicle development and growth.

This review describes trichoscopy features of lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia, identifying distinct patterns that help differentiate the two conditions.

This review discusses potential EMT-targeting drugs for treating lichen planopilaris and emphasizes the need for clinical trials, as current evidence is limited to individual cases or case series.

This review discusses fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution and highlights diagnostic features, but reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize the value of trichoscopy and histology in diagnosis.

This study introduced the Lichen Planus Activity and Damage Index (LiPADI), which effectively assesses the severity and progression of lichen planus, aligning well with other clinical indicators.

This report details a case of feline degenerative mucinotic mural folliculitis associated with feline immunodeficiency virus, identified using immunohistochemistry and immunoassay techniques.

LMWP-PDGFA shows promise for improving hair health and treating hair loss with fewer side effects.

This study found that overexpressing the PML protein in transgenic mice decreased skin tumor occurrence and delayed their progression, highlighting PML's potential role in influencing keratinocyte growth and differentiation.

This study found that systemic mycophenolate mofetil and topical clobetasol were equally effective at reducing lichen planopilaris activity over six months, but satisfaction differed between the treatments.

Using a transgenic pig model, this study demonstrated that LGR5 is a marker of hair follicle stem cells across different species, with important similarities and differences in gene expression and developmental processes.

This case report highlights a rare instance of follicular mucinosis in a 15-year-old male, emphasizing its self-limiting, benign course but noting the need for long-term monitoring due to potential association with mycosis fungoides.

This case report describes a 2-year-old girl with Majocchi granuloma, a deep granulomatous folliculitis, which improved after treatment with oral terbinafine despite relapses leading to multiple treatment courses.

This study found that female patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia are significantly more likely to have systemic lupus erythematosus compared to controls.

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 study found that melatonin upregulates LncRNA16913.1, which sequesters chi-miR-195-5p to release FZD6 and enhance fibroblast proliferation in cashmere goat skin, suggesting a regulatory mechanism within the lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA cascade in vitro.

This study used atomic force microscopy to identify significant morphological differences in hair from patients with lichen planopilaris compared to healthy controls, noting more scratches, uneven edges, and pitted scales in affected hair, which may aid future research on the condition.

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 Fructus Ligustri Lucidi water extract significantly increased proliferation in human hair dermal papilla cells, potentially promoting hair growth by activating ERK and Akt pathways.

This study identified key dermoscopic features in folliculotropic mycosis fungoides patients, showing that dilation of follicular openings and spiky follicular keratosis are specific indicators of follicular involvement, potentially aiding in diagnosis, classification, and treatment decisions.

This article reviews the characteristics and presentation of fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution, a form of scarring alopecia similar to androgenetic alopecia and lichen planopilaris, but provides no new clinical findings.

This case report describes a rare concurrence of Morbihan disease with eyelid edema and extrafacial lupus miliaris disseminatus faciei in a patient, noting improvement of truncal lesions with roxithromycin and resolution of eyelid edema following surgical treatment.

Low-dose naltrexone helps improve symptoms and stabilize frontal fibrosing alopecia and lichen planopilaris.

In this study, researchers characterized the FGF5 gene in Chinese Merino sheep, identified a new mRNA splicing variant, FGF5S, and noted its restricted expression in the brain, spleen, and skin.

In this study, the authors observed that cell-mediated immune mechanisms may be involved in the pathogenesis of benign follicular mucinosis, based on the cellular and immunological characteristics of two patient cases.

This study found that in lichen planopilaris, the basement membrane zone of the hair follicles exhibited disrupted and discontinuous staining patterns, potentially contributing to scarring and irreversible hair loss.

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

A 308 nm excimer laser successfully treated a boy with a rare skin condition after about a year of weekly sessions.

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.

This article discusses the case of a 59-year-old woman with a history of progressive facial hyperpigmentation and explores potential connections between her condition and her family history, but reports no clinical findings.
