This study found that women with nonscarring alopecia had lower ferritin levels compared to women without the condition.

This review highlighted significant properties of probiotics that can promote hair growth and reduce dandruff, offering guidance for future research to scale these findings to pilot studies.

This study observed that transverse sectioning of scalp biopsies may aid in diagnosing different types of alopecia by revealing distinct histopathological features like follicle miniaturization and specific inflammatory patterns.

This study reported that frontal fibrosing alopecia predominantly affects postmenopausal women and identified potential risk factors like frequent β-blocker use and sunscreen application, indicating the need for further research.

This study reported that in male subjects with androgenetic alopecia, there is greater uncertainty in hair growth duration, with regulatory factors in the dermal papilla significantly affecting outcomes.

In this systematic review and meta-analysis, researchers found that exosome therapies significantly improved facial wrinkles by 20.2% and enhanced hair density and thickness by 23.6% and 18%, respectively, despite challenges in generalizability due to study heterogeneity and nonstandardized protocols.

This study found that patients with primary cicatricial alopecia are at higher risk of developing various comorbidities, including systemic lupus erythematosus, hypothyroidism, and dermatological conditions, compared to controls.

This study found that combined microneedling with minoxidil significantly improved hair count and diameter in patients with androgenetic alopecia, although more mild adverse events were reported compared to minoxidil alone.

This study found that canine pemphigus foliaceus skin lesions exhibit a distinct immune signature, with upregulated pro-inflammatory and Th17-related genes, showing similarities to human pemphigus. Further research using advanced sequencing is needed to better understand the disease's pathogenesis.

This study analyzed gene expression data to identify key genes involved in severe forms of alopecia areata, discovering four immune monitoring genes (LGR5, SHISA2, HOXC13, S100A3) with potential for early diagnosis and better understanding of the disease's biological mechanisms.

This study found that patients with alopecia, particularly alopecia areata and female pattern hair loss, often have vitamin D deficiency, suggesting that screening for vitamin D could benefit these patients.

This study reports that yellow dots in a higher number per field of vision were the most consistent dermoscopic finding in severe cases of alopecia areata.

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.

In this study on Iranian patients with non-scarring alopecia, researchers found that androgenetic alopecia was the most common subtype, with perifollicular inflammation observed more in males. They reported that transverse sectioning is generally sufficient for diagnosis, but combining with vertical sectioning provides more comprehensive information.

This scoping review reports that while empirical evidence suggests an overlap between Long/Post Covid-19 syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome, and fibromyalgia, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear, highlighting the need for standardized definitions and rigorous methodologies in Long Covid research.

Hair diameter diversity helps assess hair loss, but its standard measure varies by individual and ethnicity.

Lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia are likely distinct diseases with different tissue involvement.

This study found that a 25% Pistacia atlantica leaf extract ointment significantly enhanced wound healing in rats, performing comparably to phenytoin in terms of epithelialization, angiogenesis, and collagen deposition, with reduced inflammation, suggesting it may be a safe and effective alternative for wound management.

This study found that livedoid and acro-ischemic skin manifestations were significantly associated with severe COVID-19, while chilblains-like eruptions appeared in less severe cases.

This study found that women with female pattern hair loss had significant hormonal imbalances, specifically involving adrenal androgens, suggesting these may play a central role in the condition's development.

This study highlights the distinct distribution patterns of extracellular matrix components in the scalp skin of male and female androgenetic alopecia patients, with increased elastin staining intensity observed in male cases.

This study identified discoid lupus erythematosus and pseudopelade of Brocq as the leading causes of scarring alopecia, highlighting the importance of skin punch biopsy for accurate diagnosis.

This study found that pediatric alopecia areata patients with atopic predisposition showed heightened immune and inflammatory responses, including significant immune cell infiltration, compared to adults and healthy controls.

This review examines histochemical and immunohistochemical markers to differentiate apocrine and eccrine sweat glands, highlighting their distinct markers, though it reports no new clinical findings.

This study reported that immunotherapy in cancer patients can lead to skin-related immune adverse events, such as rashes, pruritus, and vitiligo, affecting a substantial proportion of patients.

This study found that GLI1 RNA CISH was highly sensitive and specific for distinguishing basal cell carcinoma from nonfollicular epithelial neoplasms but not from most benign follicular tumors.

In this study, researchers observed that trichoscopy could reliably identify features such as anisotrichosis and signs associated with inflammation and fibrosis in female pattern hair loss, which may aid in assessing disease severity and guiding treatment decisions.

This study analyzed the features of alopecia areata incognita and diffuse alopecia areata, finding distinct patterns in hair loss regions and trichoscopic signs, and noted a benign course responsive to topical steroid therapy.

The authors concluded that trichoscopic examination can be useful for diagnosing syphilitic alopecia in patients with idiopathic alopecia, though the findings are nonspecific and further studies are needed.

This study identified high expression of the Sur2A subunit in cancerous cells in two animal models, highlighting a potential drug target in breast and renal cancers, with additional pharmacovigilance data linking KATP channel genes to varied cancer risks.
