This study found that mice lacking the type 3 IP(3) receptor in their hair follicles experienced repetitive hair loss and regrowth, indicating disrupted hair-cycle regulation potentially linked to specific signaling pathways.

This study suggests that central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia may involve a CD4-predominant T-cell process with potential PD1/PDL1 pathway involvement, indicated by increased caspase 3 expression and loss of PDL1.

Scalp cooling therapy is costly and often not covered by insurance, limiting access for low-income patients.

In this study, Mononuclear Cells provided site-specific protection against chemotherapy-induced alopecia in rats treated with Ara-C, but not with CTX or VP-16, while PRP showed no protective effect.

Isotretinoin can raise CPK levels, so patients need monitoring, especially before surgery.

In this study, iL-PRF injections produced significantly better clinical scores for androgenetic alopecia patients compared to controls, especially in those with more severe baseline conditions.

This study found that ICAM-1 expression in murine skin is developmentally regulated and crucial for skin and hair follicle remodeling beyond its recognized role in immune responses.

In this case report, a nine-year-old girl with both chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy and alopecia universalis showed improvement in muscle weakness and hair loss after treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin and corticosteroids.

This case report identified a connection between idiopathic intracranial hypertension, papilledema, and newly diagnosed systemic lupus erythematosus in a young woman, highlighting the importance of thorough system reviews in such circumstances.

This study found a weak negative correlation between inhaled corticosteroid dose and hair cortisol levels in children with asthma, suggesting that hair cortisol measurement may reflect adrenal function in these children.

In this report, a unique female presentation of IFAP syndrome is described, featuring musculoskeletal contractures but no photophobia, highlighting the importance of early detection and multidisciplinary care to improve outcomes and prevent disability.

In this study, researchers found that inhibiting IKKα in patient-derived CCS tumour models reduces tumour viability, supporting the potential for topical IKKα inhibitors as a treatment for CCS.

This study reported cold thermal injuries on the scalp in four patients using cold caps to prevent chemotherapy-induced alopecia, suggesting improper application can lead to adverse events.

In this case report, a 28-year-old Chinese man with severe dissecting cellulitis of the scalp experienced nodules resolution and hair regrowth after treatment with ixekizumab and tofacitinib, marking the first reported use of this drug combination for the condition.

This proof-of-concept study reported that a new, ultra-fast, one-step immunohistochemistry method improved the interpretation of Mohs surgery slides, particularly for poorly differentiated tumors.

This review discusses central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, its similarities to lichen planopilaris, and emphasizes the need for further research due to its underdiagnosis and impact on African-descended women.

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.

This study developed and finalized standard treatment workflows for thirteen common skin diseases, such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis, to optimize management across primary, secondary, and tertiary care centers in the country, with resources available both online and in physical formats.

This study analyzed the cost-effectiveness of scalp cooling as a means of preventing chemotherapy-induced hair loss and found it to be financially reasonable compared to dermatologic management strategies, suggesting that it should be considered for routine insurance coverage due to its cost-effectiveness.

Diphencyprone initially increases mouse hair growth, then slows it, possibly due to changes in specific protein levels.

This study found that continuous itraconazole therapy was more effective than pulse therapy for treating tinea capitis caused by Microsporum ferrugineum, with a higher cumulative cure rate and no significant adverse effects.

This case report describes a young man diagnosed with encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis who had unique bilateral optic disc colobomas, a previously unreported association with this syndrome.

This study reported that a combination of Myo-inositol and D-chiro-Inositol improved clinical and laboratory parameters in teenage girls with PCOS compared to a placebo.

This study suggests that the neuropeptide CGRP may protect against, but not restore, IFNγ-induced collapse of hair follicle immune privilege in alopecia areata.

This study found that women with PCOS had significantly elevated plasma levels of PAI-1, which correlated with insulin resistance and obesity.

This article reviews DPCP's use as a topical immunotherapy for alopecia areata and discusses its suggested mechanism, but reports no clinical results.

This article discusses intraoperative floppy iris syndrome during cataract surgery and highlights the importance of awareness and preoperative documentation of its risk factors, emphasizing a multidisciplinary approach to management.

This study, conducted at Montefiore Medical Center, reports that central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia predominantly affects middle-aged Black or African American women, often presenting without symptoms, which may delay diagnosis and treatment. The study underscores the need for a specific ICD-10 code for better epidemiological studies.

In this retrospective study on pediatric craniospinal irradiation, researchers found that permanent radiation-induced alopecia occurred in 45.8% of patients, with higher radiation doses and treatment intensity being significant predictors, suggesting that defined dosimetric thresholds can support scalp-sparing planning.
