LDL apheresis lowers inflammation and cardiovascular risk by reducing CRP levels long-term.

This study found that individuals with homozygous loss-of-function mutations in PLAAT3 experience a novel type of partial lipodystrophy linked to defects in white adipose tissue differentiation and function.

This study found that patients with lichen planus had significantly higher levels of triglycerides, total cholesterol, and LDL-C, and lower HDL-C compared to healthy controls, suggesting an association with dyslipidaemia.

This study examined clinical characteristics of lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia in 24 men, revealing common scalp symptoms, frequent beard involvement, and limited association with thyroid disease.

This article discusses folliculitis decalvans as a cicatricial alopecia caused by a neutrophilic immune reaction to microbial biofilms, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study developed the SAALIQ, a culturally adapted tool specifically for measuring quality of life in Spanish-speaking patients with alopecia areata, highlighting its strong psychometric performance and the benefit of capturing overlooked domains compared to generic measures.

In this study, researchers found that the pCLCA2 protein is expressed in specific areas of pig skin, but its role in skin structure or function remains unclear.

This article provides an overview of lipedematous scalp, a rare condition characterized by a thickened scalp without hair loss, and emphasizes the need for further research due to limited case reports.

This report describes a rare case of scarring alopecia, diagnosed as lichen planopilaris (LPP), affecting solely the limbs, highlighting the necessity for thorough evaluation of LPP beyond the scalp.

This study found that ILC1-like cells can induce alopecia areata in healthy human hair follicles, challenging the traditional belief that the disease is primarily driven by CD8+ T cells.

This study developed a foxn1-deficient Xenopus laevis model using CRISPR/Cas9, observing reduced T-cell markers and altered immune responses in tadpoles, providing a nonmammalian model for immunological research.

LSD1 is crucial for regenerating hair cells in zebrafish.

This case study reported a rare occurrence of lepromatous leprosy with Lucio phenomenon in a 50-year-old Indonesian living in Malaysia, highlighting the necessity for primary care practitioners, even in non-endemic areas, to recognize this serious leprosy reaction to prevent complications and transmission.

This study found that many participants with hair loss, or Khalitya, exhibited dietary incompatibilities and low calcium levels, aligning Ayurvedic concepts with modern dietary risk factors.

This article describes the extraction and characterization method for wedelolactone from Eclipta alba but presents no new clinical results.

This study identified a missense mutation in the rat Desmoglein 4 gene, causing abnormal hair shaft development in lanceolate hair mutant rats by disrupting a critical calcium binding site.

This study found that cathepsin L deficiency in mice led to significant abnormalities in hair follicle development and cycling, including disrupted hair shaft outgrowth and premature hair growth phase entry.

This review discusses the role of phospholipases in skin and hair health, suggesting that understanding their molecular control could inform new treatments for related conditions, but it presents no new clinical results.

This study suggests that cultured hair follicle dermal sheath cup cells exhibit immune privilege properties, partly through the expression of PD-L1, which impacts co-cultured immune cells' behavior.

This review discusses the diverse applications of low-level laser therapy in aesthetic dermatology, especially for managing alopecia, but notes that comprehensive literature on its effectiveness is lacking.

This report highlights that a coherent vision and collaboration are needed in Poland to address healthcare workforce shortages, including allowing domestic academic titles to confirm Polish language proficiency.

This study found a significant discordance between clinical symptoms and dermatoscopic signs with histopathological inflammation in patients with LPP and AFF, affecting diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

This article reviews laser hair removal techniques, noting its popularity and outpatient viability, but finds that definitive evidence for its permanent efficacy is still lacking.

This study analyzed animal hairs from 18th-century burial sites in Mazamet, France, reporting distinct hair morphologies consistent with the use of common local animal furs such as goat, badger, cow, or horse, reflecting the modest socioeconomic status of the individuals interred.

This review discusses the role and regulation of quiescent adult stem cells in tissue maintenance and repair, focusing on molecular mechanisms and their implications for regenerative medicine, but reports no new clinical results.
