This review from the 2013 Keogh Review found that non-surgical cosmetic interventions in the UK are largely unregulated, leaving patients with little protection or recourse.

This study found that adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells produced more anti-inflammatory and pro-angiogenic cytokines on electrospun scaffolds, which enhanced wound healing and macrophage activity in a rat model.

The researchers reported that human foreskin fibroblasts isolated by enzyme digestion method proliferated faster and were purified more quickly than those isolated by the inverted tissue culture method; additionally, post-psoralen photoactivation therapy moderately repaired UVB-induced damage in these fibroblasts, suggesting potential clinical applications.

This review discusses the role of transient receptor potential channels in pathological scarification and suggests these channels as potential targets for its prevention and treatment, although it reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, the researchers identified a PBX1-SIRT1-PARP1 axis that plays a crucial role in reducing senescence and apoptosis in hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stem cells.

This case report describes a rare aggressive variant of squamous cell carcinoma on the scalp of a non-immunosuppressed older male, highlighting its high biological risk for metastasis and poor outcomes.

This article discusses the legal considerations of delegating parts of hair restoration procedures to unlicensed personnel and reports no new results.

In this study, combining stromal cells and PRP resulted in a significantly higher cell count and volume than using a saline group, suggesting increased potential efficiency; however, clinical outcomes need further evaluation.

This review covers the current status of the interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (IPAF) category, pointing out the need for revision of its criteria to establish it as a standalone diagnostic term, but reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, researchers used a 3D printing technique to spatially pattern human dermal papilla cell spheroids in a collagen matrix, enhancing skin and hair regeneration in a mouse model, with notable upregulation of key genes for hair follicle formation compared to traditional cell cultures.

In this multicenter study, adipose-derived stem cell-enriched fat grafting achieved higher satisfaction and better clinical outcomes compared to platelet-rich plasma and hyaluronic acid filler in aesthetic interventions.

This article discusses the first international certification examination by the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery, with no new research findings reported.

PDE inhibitors, especially PDE4 inhibitors like apremilast, are effective for certain inflammatory skin conditions but have side effects and can be costly.

This article previews the upcoming International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery meeting in Toronto, offering no new clinical results but promising more than typical technique presentations.

This case study describes a rare cutaneous follicular hybrid cyst intimately associated with syringocystadenoma papilliferum, proposing a potential relationship with the infrainfundibulum based on keratin expression.

This study found that generating pluripotent stem cell-derived skin organoids in a 3D bioprinted hydrogel device improved keratinocyte differentiation and hair follicle formation while reducing necrosis.

In this study, researchers reported a 1.33% prevalence of scarring alopecia among 450 patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors for metastatic melanoma, noting that hair loss did not require treatment discontinuation and seemed to coincide with favorable cancer outcomes.

This pilot clinical trial observed that combining subcision using a blunt cannula with platelet-rich plasma injections and microneedling for post-acne rolling scars was associated with a significant positive correlation between physician satisfaction and age of acne onset.

This study found that combining pulsed dye laser with pingyangmycin improved treatment efficacy, scar repair, skin condition, and patient satisfaction in treating post-acne hyperplastic scars, compared to laser alone, without increasing adverse reactions.

In this study, animal model observations suggested that GLI1 expression may reduce cSCC initiation but is not involved in the tumor's aggressiveness.

This study found that autologous cell-based therapy using dermal sheath cup cells showed a moderate increase in hair volume in patients with pattern hair loss, particularly in women.

The Journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery is now included in PubMed.

In this case study, intravenous cyclophosphamide pulse therapy effectively improved symptoms of steroid-resistant lupus cystitis and peritonitis, allowing for a reduction in steroid dosage.

In this case series, researchers reported scarring alopecia in six out of 450 patients (1.33%) treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors for metastatic melanoma, with all affected patients experiencing other immune-related adverse effects but continuing treatment with favorable cancer outcomes.

This study suggests that blood microarray biomarkers may help predict individual treatment response in psoriasis patients, highlighting a distinct blood signature related to inflammation, interferon, and myeloid lineage transcripts.

This review reports significant advancements in plastic surgery using stem cell therapies for aesthetic and reconstructive applications, including grafting and wound healing, though it underscores the need for continued research to address regulatory, ethical, and standardization issues.

This study found a 31% decrease in antidepressant use following cosmetic surgery, suggesting that such procedures may influence medication use by improving self-esteem.

This descriptive longitudinal study conducted in a Kolkata hospital found that intense pulsed light treatment significantly improved hirsutism in patients, as evaluated by trichoscopy and visual analog scores, demonstrating its effectiveness and safety for hair removal, independent of medical treatment.

Some people with primary cicatricial alopecia also have inflammatory bowel disease, suggesting a possible connection.

Systemic mastocytosis may cause a type of hair loss called cicatricial alopecia.
