This case report details three patients with follicular mycosis fungoides, highlighting an impressive response to bexarotene in advanced cases, suggesting potential for further research on this treatment's effectiveness.

This chapter reviews the terminology, techniques, and advancements in follicular unit excision for hair transplants but reports no new clinical results.

This study examined a specific approach in hair transplants called Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and looked at how often attempts to harvest grafts did not result in a usable hair follicle unit.

This study reports that using a vacuum-automated FUE device for hair transplantation allows for over a thousand grafts to be extracted and transplanted effectively in a single day, enhancing graft viability and cosmetic results.

This study suggests that follicular unit viability during hair transplantation is best preserved at lower storage temperatures, specifically around 4 °C, and provides insights into optimal cooling practices to enhance transplant success.

This research explores the integration of autologous regenerative therapy using adipose-derived stem cells and stromal vascular fraction in hair restoration surgery, aiming to improve follicular viability and enhance the environment around hair follicles, potentially offering benefits over traditional treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and hair transplantation.

This review discusses three surgical strategies for hair restoration, emphasizing that both scalp reduction and flap rotation have unique benefits such as significant hair density, despite grafting techniques being more widely used, and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that a bioorthogonal microneedle patch delivering AAV-aFGF effectively improved hair follicle regeneration and sustained hair growth in murine alopecia models compared to other methods.

This source highlights the challenges in treating cicatricial alopecia, noting that follicular unit extraction hair transplantation offers a minimally invasive and successful option to improve cosmetic outcomes for patients with permanent hair loss from scarring.

This study describes a new method for isolating intact human eccrine glands from scalp follicular units, potentially advancing research on sweat gland physiology.

In this systematic review, the authors reported that both FUE and FUT hair transplant techniques induce oxidative stress and inflammation, impacting graft survival, but interventions like PRGF, CO2 laser, and dermal microtissues can enhance healing, reduce inflammation, and improve follicular survival.

This study found that storing hair follicle grafts in chilled ATPv-supplemented saline was most effective for preserving trichogenic gene expression, compared to other storage solutions and temperatures.

This article reviews the use of dermoscopy as a noninvasive tool for diagnosing various types of nonscarring alopecia but presents no new clinical findings.

This study found that dermoscopy of the axilla in patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia revealed significantly higher odds of brownish peripillary halos, suggesting a diagnostic clue for the condition in this region.

This case report describes a 47-year-old man diagnosed with fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution, treated with clobetasol propionate and oral minoxidil while advised to avoid hair transplantation.

This article discusses features, genetics, and diagnostic challenges of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in African American women but reports no new clinical results.

This study reported that two male patients with diffuse unpatterned alopecia exhibited donor-area involvement in both the vertex and occiput, challenging the assumption of occipital stability for hair transplantation, and showed partial improvement following treatment with oral finasteride and topical minoxidil.

This study found that trichoscopy is highly effective for diagnosing different types of alopecia, showing an average diagnostic accuracy of 90–95%, with specific features aiding in differentiating forms like androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata. New technologies and AI improve interpretation objectivity, suggesting expanded clinical integration.

This study reports distinctive clinical, trichoscopic, and histopathological features of fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution among Chinese patients, suggesting possible racial differences compared to previous studies primarily involving Caucasians.

In this study, FAPD was characterized in a Chinese population by perifollicular mast cell infiltration, suggesting young individuals may be at higher risk than previously thought.

This study suggests that early initiation of treatment in fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution may lead to a more favorable outcome, as evident in some patients experiencing arrested disease progression and hair regrowth.

This review discusses body hair transplants as a supplement to scalp donor hair in hair restoration, but reports no clinical results; the authors note variability in outcomes and suggest it helps patients with limited scalp donor resources.

This study investigated variation in depth control during follicular unit extraction and introduced a new depth classification, highlighting depth variability within different zones of the scalp's safe donor area.

This study found that fermented Morinda citrifolia extract enhances the viability and cycle progression of human dermal papilla cells and promotes hair growth through Wnt/β-catenin signaling activation, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic candidate for alopecia.

This study found that a combination of oral compounds improved metabolic activity, cell viability, and proliferation in hair follicular keratinocytes, with L-cystine playing a key role in protection against oxidative stress.

This study observed variability in hair density and types across different scalp areas in cadaver biopsies, providing reference values that could aid in diagnosing hair disorders in Asians.

This review discusses the early phases of melanomagenesis and the factors influencing melanoma cell variability and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that acute stress in rats inhibits hair growth, likely through increased cortisol levels and activation of the substance P-mast cell pathway.

This article reviews factors affecting follicular unit extraction, emphasizing the need to tailor procedures to individual patient characteristics, but reports no new experimental findings.

This article discusses the genetic hair disorder monilethrix, characterized by beaded, fragile hair due to defective keratin genes, and reports no effective treatment currently available; variability in severity was noted among affected siblings.
