This study reviews the types of alopecia associated with lupus erythematosus and discusses treatment challenges, highlighting that non-scarring alopecia is specific to systemic lupus while chronic cutaneous lupus can cause scarring alopecia, with topical corticosteroids and oral antimalarials as primary treatments for cutaneous lupus erythematosus.

This study found that late embryonic skin injuries can regenerate multiple tissue types, but this ability is hindered postnatally due to fibroblast-driven hyperinnervation, which can be mitigated to enable regeneration.

This study found that using a stevioside-based microneedle patch significantly increased minoxidil's solubility and skin absorption, promoting hair growth in animal models and achieving 67.5% area coverage by day 35, highlighting the potential of this novel delivery system for androgenetic alopecia treatment.

This study observed that in a series of 28 patients with different types of alopecia, specific trichoscopic markers like exclamation-mark hairs and yellow dots helped distinguish alopecia areata from conditions like lichen planopilaris and discoid lupus erythematosus, which showed follicular ostia loss and white scarring.

This review explores the potential connection between GA and various types of alopecia but reports no new clinical findings, emphasizing the need for further research.

This review discusses the role of trichoscopy in diagnosing and managing various alopecia types, highlighting its ability to detect specific patterns in both scarring and non-scarring forms, thus aiding in treatment decisions and reducing biopsy necessity.

This report describes a rare case of a three-day-old male with ichthyosis hystrix type of epidermal nevus, featuring specific skin and hair symptoms but no nail or skeletal abnormalities.

This study identified a 69 bp deletion in the KRT75 gene as the cause of the frizzle feather trait in chickens, affecting feather curling.

This study reports that a sarcoptic mange outbreak, likely originating from mange-infected llamas from a governmental program, dramatically reduced vicuña and guanaco populations in San Guillermo National Park, Argentina.

This study found that radiation negatively impacts the survival and proliferation of fibroblasts on human dermis transplants, but hair follicle pores enhance cell viability even after irradiation.

In this study, researchers reported that dermatoscopy effectively differentiates between various types of alopecia and scalp disorders, offering a fast, minimally invasive diagnostic method that improves the standard of care and reduces the necessity for scalp biopsies.

This study found that mice lacking the CXCR2 receptor regenerated tissue scarlessly in various injury models and that administering plasma or G-CSF from these mice to wild-type mice also reduced scarring, suggesting potential therapeutic strategies to improve human skin wound healing.

In this case study, an 80-year-old woman developed lichen planus pigmentosus inversus after receiving multiple intra-articular injections of a homeopathic preparation, suggesting a possible link, though causality remains speculative.

This review explores enzyme inhibitors from gorgonians and soft corals and highlights their potential industrial and biomedical applications, but it reports no new experimental results.

This review presents European expert guidelines for diagnosing androgenetic alopecia across genders but reports no new clinical findings; it emphasizes the importance of trichoscopy for differentiating similar conditions.

This article discusses localized repigmentation of hair, suggesting it may be an indicator of underlying melanoma, and emphasizes the need for careful diagnostic evaluation.

This descriptive study observed that a "moth-eaten" pattern of hair loss can occur in several skin diseases, with lichen planopilaris and discoid lupus erythematosus being among the most common conditions identified in patients from Baghdad, emphasizing its potential as a diagnostic tool for clinicians.

This report describes a rare case of scarring alopecia, diagnosed as lichen planopilaris (LPP), affecting solely the limbs, highlighting the necessity for thorough evaluation of LPP beyond the scalp.

In this study, researchers observed that approximately 25% of patients experienced hair loss after COVID-19 infection, with nonscarring alopecia being the most common form.

This study found that trichoscopy is a valuable tool for diagnosing various hair disorders by identifying specific trichoscopic patterns, such as hair diameter diversity in androgenetic alopecia and exclamatory marks in alopecia areata.

This study determined that trichoscopy is a sensitive and specific tool that effectively aids in diagnosing alopecia in women, especially when clinical diagnosis is uncertain.

In this case report, a 42-year-old man with radiation-induced alopecia following endovascular embolization for a cerebral arteriovenous fistula experienced complete hair regrowth after three months of treatment with intramuscular corticosteroids and topical 5% minoxidil, suggesting a novel therapeutic approach for faster recovery.

This study observed that electrical stimulation of specific mechanoreceptive afferents in the orofacial region can evoke sensations consistent with their response properties, while others may require multiple afferents to access perceptual levels.

This study introduced a non-invasive, three-step diagnostic algorithm for alopecia that combines clinical and trichoscopic features to accurately identify alopecia subtypes, potentially reducing reliance on invasive histopathology.

This review summarizes trichoscopic features for diagnosing common hair loss disorders and reports no new clinical results, emphasizing their diagnostic utility in conditions like alopecia areata and trichotillomania.

This review discusses the heterogeneity and plasticity of epithelial stem cells in skin homeostasis, wound healing, and tumorigenesis, reporting no new results but emphasizing the need for further exploration of key regulatory mechanisms.

This review discusses recent advancements in understanding how the sympathetic nervous system and norepinephrine regulate hair follicle growth, highlighting innovative studies that explore their effects on hair follicle stem cells.

This review highlights that recent advancements in diagnostics and therapies, including AI-enhanced imaging, biomarker analysis, and novel treatments like low-dose oral minoxidil and JAK inhibitors, are improving the precision and customization of hair loss management.

This study reports a rare case of follicular porokeratosis in a diabetic woman, suggesting a potential association with diabetes mellitus in addition to its known presentation with keratotic papules and scalp alopecia.

This study found that citrullinated proteins, which are implicated in rheumatoid arthritis, were abundant in outer membrane vesicles from Porphyromonas gingivalis but nearly absent in mutants, validating their approach to citrullinated peptide identification.
