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.

The study concluded that the Exprecell™ device for preparing anticoagulant-free f-PRF increases volume yield and simplifies the process while maintaining biological activity comparable to conventional methods, suggesting potential clinical utility.

This study found that combining plasma rich in growth factors with conventional treatment significantly improved hair regrowth and reduced symptoms in patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia compared to conventional treatment alone.

This study reported that 80% of patients with non-scarring alopecia showed a clinical cure after treatment with unactivated platelet leukocyte autoplasma.

This study observed that fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution shows varied histological features and may resemble lichen planopilaris with initial diffuse distribution, potentially leading to scarring alopecia.

This study reports a method for fabricating biofunctional polymer fibers by using DNA-programmable cell-free protein synthesis integrated through solution blow spinning, enabling in situ protein production and potential applications in respirators, sampling swabs, and other advanced materials.

This study found that a phosphorus starvation-insensitive mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana shows altered root growth and auxin responses under low phosphate conditions compared to wild-type plants, suggesting a role for LPR1 in regulating these traits.

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 found that overexpressing PLC5 in Arabidopsis thaliana reduced root growth but improved drought tolerance, and suggests PIP2 is crucial for root hair growth.

This study found that biodegradable PLA particles released fluorochromes in a time-dependent manner on human skin, with BP-PLA particles releasing rapidly and DiAsp-PLA particles providing sustained release and accumulation in hair follicles.

This review discusses the roles of various PLA2 enzymes in skin health and disease, highlighting potential pathways for future diagnosis and therapy, but it reports no new clinical results.

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.

Frontal fibrosing alopecia can occur with lichen planus pigmentosus, needing careful diagnosis and treatment.

This study found that pneumatic skin flattening (PSF) significantly reduces pain and post-treatment erythema during high-energy IPL and laser hair removal while enhancing treatment efficacy.

In this study, the gene SlPHL1 was identified as a transcription factor in tomatoes that enhances phosphate starvation responses by upregulating specific genes.

This study found that Flammulina velutipes polysaccharides-derived scaffolds greatly enhanced wound healing and hair follicle regeneration in a rat model, particularly with the FPS/NaOH variant showing the best results.

In this study, the PLP2 gene was found to promote secondary hair follicle development in Liaoning cashmere goats, with its expression negatively regulated by melatonin and potentially affecting follicle development via the BMP pathway.

This report suggests that patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax should be evaluated for FLCN mutations, as they may indicate Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome and associated cancer risks.

This study found that mice lacking sPLA2-IIE had distinct skin abnormalities, particularly affecting hair follicles, highlighting the differing roles of sPLA2 isoforms in mouse skin.

This report describes a 57-year-old woman with fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution, who experienced hair regrowth with combined treatment including hydroxychloroquine and other topical and oral therapies.

In this study, researchers observed that knocking down the LPA 4 receptor in zebrafish embryos led to vascular and lymph vessel development abnormalities, including edema and decreased heartbeats.

The study observed that patterned fibrosing alopecia, a type of scarring hair loss, appears in some patients after hair transplants, facelifts, and other surgical interventions, sharing features with lichen planopilaris and androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that Egyptian women with frontal fibrosing alopecia had lower serum PPARγ levels and a higher occurrence of PPARG gene polymorphism compared to healthy controls, suggesting a potential role for PPARγ in the condition's development.

This case study discusses a postmenopausal woman's frontal fibrosing alopecia and lichen planus pigmentosus, controlled with corticosteroids and finasteride, highlighting diagnostic and therapeutic challenges in scarring alopecia.

This review highlights platelet-rich plasma as a promising nonsurgical treatment for female pattern hair loss, but it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers identified a recurrent MBTPS2 splice-site variant as a mutational hotspot in IFAP syndrome across diverse families, with phenotype severity suggesting the influence of additional modifiers.

Platelet-rich fibrin is becoming popular for medical and cosmetic uses like hair growth and natural fillers.

This review outlines the current state of freeze-dried platelet-rich plasma (FD-PRP) research, emphasizing its use in wound healing, lumbar fusion, knee conditions, and dentistry, but reports no new clinical findings.

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.

This study identified a new gene, mrp4, in mice, which suggests it may have a unique role in the growth and development of hair follicles in the ears and tails.
