This review outlines current treatments for folliculitis decalvans and dissecting cellulitis of the scalp, noting conventional therapies' limitations and promising but limited results from targeted biologic agents.

In this review, the authors discuss various skin conditions linked to hyperandrogenism, such as acne and alopecia, with a focus on androgen-targeted therapies, suggesting these are generally more effective than non-androgen-targeted options.

In this review, the authors reported that sprout extracts, rich in bioactive compounds, show promising effects on skin health, such as enhancing collagen synthesis, improving hydration, and reducing inflammation, though most evidence comes from laboratory and animal studies.

This study found that targeting both hormonal and immune pathways improved treatment outcomes in androgenetic alopecia patients with an under-recognized inflammatory component called PIILIF, which may contribute to treatment resistance.

This study found that a natural illite-based carrier could deliver minoxidil topically with preserved efficacy, minimizing solvent toxicity, and showed hair-growth-promoting activity via anti-inflammatory and pro-proliferative mechanisms in mice.

This study found that in a mouse model of androgenetic alopecia, topical application of finasteride-loaded Platycladi cacumen-derived nanovesicles improved hair regrowth more effectively than minoxidil.

This study found that the protein C4BPA may link insulin resistance and acne vulgaris by influencing lipid metabolism and inflammatory pathways, suggesting it as a potential mediator in the pathogenesis of both conditions.

This study reports that SARS-CoV-2 infection, COVID-19 vaccination, and off-label dupilumab treatment may exacerbate psoriasis, with overlapping inflammatory pathways involving cytokines like IL-17 and TNF-α. Histopathological similarities between psoriasis flares and COVID-19 skin manifestations were noted, suggesting a potential connection requiring further research.

In this literature review, it was reported that mental health disorders may both contribute to and be exacerbated by various types of hair loss, and an interdisciplinary treatment model is recommended for effective diagnosis and patient care.

The authors highlighted promising developments in JAK inhibitors as targeted treatments for skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and alopecia areata, noting their effectiveness and safety profiles. Recent advances also suggest potential for treating melanoma with these inhibitors.

In this study, finasteride was found to reduce cholesterol levels and delay atherosclerosis in LDL receptor-deficient mice, and men using finasteride reported lower cholesterol levels, suggesting potential cardiovascular benefits by improving lipid profiles.

This study reports that combining ergothioneine, collagen peptides, and sodium hyaluronate improved skin parameters like hydration, elasticity, and wrinkle reduction in Chinese women, while ex vivo data indicated enhanced antioxidant action and structural support, suggesting potential for anti-aging nutricosmetics.

This study detailed distinct immunophenotypic stages of alopecia areata in C3H/HeJ mice, providing an immune blueprint that may help identify therapeutic targets for disease pathways in humans.

This review found that adding immune checkpoint inhibitors to cancer treatment regimens likely increases the incidence of specific drug-related skin toxicities in adult Asian patients, highlighting the need for careful monitoring and management strategies.

This study highlights the under-explored relationship between alopecia areata, an immune-mediated disorder, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, emphasizing their shared inflammatory and metabolic pathways.

In this study, Ark-e-Kasni was found to alleviate PCOS symptoms in rats by restoring hormonal levels, improving insulin sensitivity, and reducing inflammation and cystic follicles, suggesting its therapeutic potential via diverse molecular mechanisms.

This source highlights the challenge in achieving scarless healing with skin appendage regeneration for wounds and notes that vitamin A derivatives show promise for promoting new follicle growth. However, specific results from this research are not reported in the abstract.

This study evaluated 129 patients with androgenetic alopecia and identified an inflammatory pattern of perifollicular infiltration linked to treatment resistance. Targeting both hormonal and immune pathways improved outcomes for 67% of patients, suggesting inflammation may play a role in some cases of stubborn hair loss.

This study found that transdermal delivery of finasteride using biomimetic Platycladi cacumen-derived nanovesicles enhanced hair regrowth in a mouse model of androgenetic alopecia, outperforming minoxidil by improving skin permeation, reducing oxidative stress, and boosting local drug retention.

This review highlights the potential benefits of low-level light therapy for treating various alopecias, with reported improvements in hair density and count, especially when combined with minoxidil or finasteride, but it offers no new clinical results.

Serotonin helps wounds heal faster.

This research observed that EGFR activity appears to maintain hair follicle quiescence and immune privilege, and its inhibition may lead to stem cell apoptosis and scarring alopecia during inflammation.

This study reported that in mouse models, deletion of EGFR resulted in stem cell hyper-proliferation followed by apoptosis, leading to scarring alopecia, and implicated EGFR's role in maintaining hair follicle quiescence and immune privilege during inflammation.

This study found that non-balding dermal papilla cells emphasized extracellular matrix organization and reduced inflammation when cultured in 3D or with adipose-derived stem cells, unlike balding cells which maintained inflammatory pathways.

This article discusses the prevalence of female pattern hair loss and reports no new results; the authors highlight its increased prevalence with aging.

This article reviews the genetic and androgenic factors influencing the development of androgenetic alopecia and reports no new findings; the authors highlight a need for further research into the underlying mechanisms.

In this study, researchers observed distinct aging signatures in mouse keratinocytes, with increased expression in older mice, and noted relevant pathway changes that were also evident in human skin, suggesting potential insights into intrinsic skin aging.

In this study, researchers observed that patients with androgenetic alopecia show differences in scalp microbial communities compared to the general population, including an increase in Cutibacterium acnes, particularly in males, which may interact with lipid and immune pathways to contribute to hair follicle miniaturization.

This article reviews the role of skin appendages in wound healing and appendage regeneration, discussing cellular and molecular mechanisms but reports no new experimental findings.

This study found that both Th1 and Th2 immune responses, along with IL-23 and IL-32 cytokine pathways, are active in alopecia areata lesions, and corticosteroid injections significantly altered these immune markers.
