This article reviews the current ACR classification criteria for systemic lupus erythematosus, highlighting their dermatologic limitations, and proposes guidelines for a study to update these criteria.

In this study, researchers reported that oral isotretinoin effectively treated facial papules in frontal fibrosing alopecia, with histopathologic findings suggesting the involvement of elastic fibers and sebaceous glands in papule formation beyond perifollicular inflammation.

In this study, a square pulse, low-fluence IPL device used at home significantly reduced terminal hair count by 87% six months post-treatment, with evidence of hair miniaturization similar to professional laser treatments.

The book is a detailed guide on children's skin disorders, their causes, and diagnosis, with many images for medical professionals.

This study found inflammation and fibrosis in both pattern hair loss cases and controls but concluded that these factors may not significantly contribute to the pathogenesis of pattern hair loss.

This commentary reviews the evidence for microinflammation's role in pattern hair loss and suggests that further studies with age- and sex-matched controls are needed to substantiate the findings.

This correspondence highlights existing research on pattern hair loss, discussing findings about immune deposits, lymphocytic infiltration, and responses to treatment, and calls for future well-controlled studies.

This study found that cyclosporine A treatment at 5 mg/kg/day may reduce inflammation and promote gland regeneration in dogs with sebaceous adenitis, though symptoms returned when treatment stopped.

This study examined variations in epidermal thickness and protein expression across different dog breeds, finding significant differences by anatomical site and breed, with associated mRNA and protein expression changes observed.

In this study, flutamide at therapeutic doses caused significant histological changes in the testes and epididymis of adult albino rats, reducing androgen receptor immunoreactivity and increasing estrogen receptor immunoreactivity.

This study demonstrated that supplementing aged mice with pro-IGF-II improved muscle regeneration by enhancing satellite cell proliferation and reducing adipogenesis, suggesting potential benefits for treating muscle injuries in elderly individuals.

This study analyzed gray hair, revealing that it differs from pigmented hair in follicular activity, oxidative balance, and structure, impacting coloring processes and necessitating adapted techniques to maintain hair quality.

This presentation explores burnout and compassion fatigue among healthcare professionals, detailing their causes, symptoms, and consequences, and emphasizes strategies for prevention and management, such as mindfulness and organizational support, to improve both provider and patient outcomes.

This article reviews various types of alopecia, their diagnostic features, and patterns, but presents no new clinical findings; the authors discuss multiple mechanisms and classification challenges.

This study found that human hair follicles demonstrated a dose-dependent response to light in an ex vivo photoepilation model, which could predict the clinical efficacy and permanency of light-based hair removal devices.

This study reviews the embryological origins, anatomical and histological structure, and key functions of the skin, emphasizing its protective, sensory, and regulatory roles, as well as the social and psychological impacts of post-lesion changes.

This study found that grafting split-thickness human skin onto nude mice produces scars that mimic hypertrophic scar characteristics in humans, offering a useful model for studying scar formation and treatments.

Caffeine and siloxanetriol alginate caffeine in emulsion form can reduce fatty cell size and number, potentially treating cellulite effectively.

In this study, researchers found that a nanoparticle gel derived from Astragalus polysaccharides improved wound healing significantly more than a Gold-Silver nanocomposite gel and untreated controls, with better wound closure observed by the 15th day.

This study found that specific histologic features in skin biopsies can help support a diagnosis of traumatic alopecia (trichotillomania), but not all markers are distinct to the condition.

This study demonstrated that modified montmorillonites combined with bacterial cellulose enhanced antimicrobial, wound healing, and tissue regenerative activities in a burn mice model, suggesting potential as an artificial skin substitute for burn patients.

This review discusses immunohistological and immunofluorescent methods for studying the human hair follicle cell cycle, reporting no new results, and suggests its potential for advancing cell cycle research.

This study found that using a wearable low-level light therapy device for photodynamic therapy significantly reduced actinic keratosis lesions and improved quality of life in patients with AK of the scalp.

This article provides a comprehensive overview of tattoo-related issues for clinicians, covering various aspects such as tattoo types, medical relevance, removal methods, complications, and South African legislation, but reports no new research findings.

This study describes tumor necrosis factor inhibitor-associated psoriatic alopecia, highlighting the distinctive histologic feature of sebaceous lobule atrophy, which is potentially reversible and helps differentiate it from idiopathic psoriatic alopecia.

In this study, adrenalectomy in black rats on a vitamin B-deficient diet restored hair growth and melanin deposition, effects reversed using adrenal cortical hormones.

This study focused on the ultrastructural and immunohistochemical aspects of dermal mast cells in systemic mastocytosis and their interaction with the epidermal melanin unit.

In this animal study, researchers found that cedrol, a constituent from Platycladus orientalis, significantly promoted hair growth in a dose-dependent manner in female C57BL/6 mice, surpassing results from blank control and 2% minoxidil groups over 21 days.

In this study, KC-AD-MSCs were found to increase COL7 deposition and anchoring fibril formation at the dermal-epidermal junction in a RDEB mouse model, suggesting potential for improving skin integrity in recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa patients.

This study found that in a rat model of alopecia, combining low-level laser therapy with Neoptide treatment resulted in better hair regrowth compared to either treatment used alone.
