Scalp-to-scalp skin grafts quickly heal and hide well under regrown hair, making them good for repairing large scalp defects.

This report discusses a rare case of polypoid cystitis in a 45-year-old Asian man, which mimicked a bladder tumor and caused bilateral upper tract obstruction that was successfully treated through staged endoscopic management, ureteral stenting, and oral steroids.

This article discusses objective methods for assessing hair loss and notes that most types of hair loss can regrow without treatment, but effective treatments for pattern or senescent alopecia remain unavailable.

This overview examines the biology, origin, structure, and function of various cells and structures, such as the blood-retinal barrier and Merkel cells, and discusses their roles in disease pathogenesis, along with recent findings related to the lymph nodes' paracortex.

This chapter discusses stem cell activity in feather and hair follicles, emphasizing how stem cells maintain their population by cycling between quiescence and activation in specialized niches but reports no new results.

This study observed that transgenic mice with overexpression of HE4 developed keratitis and severe corneal opacity, suggesting that HE4 may significantly influence keratopathy and inflammatory responses in the eye.

This study demonstrated that using a mass spectrometry imaging technique, researchers were able to visualize the incorporation of argan, avocado, and coconut oils into hair fibers, suggesting their potential in cosmetic and alopecia treatments by confirming oil absorption and fiber modification.

This review compiles insights from ancient texts and recent studies on Kadali (Musa paradisiaca), highlighting its potential medical use in treating various disorders, including bleeding, eye, menstrual, bronchitis, diabetes, and uraemia.

This case report details a 38-year-old woman in Sri Lanka diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus-associated protein-losing enteropathy, identified through hypoalbuminemia and EULAR criteria in a resource-limited setting.

T cells and bacteria in the gut and skin help maintain health and protect against disease.

This study found that zebrafish and stickleback fish use similar genetic programs for tooth regeneration, despite differences in their dental structures.

This study found that canine hair follicle stem cells are located in the isthmus/bulge region of the hair follicle, surrounded by telocytes.

This study found that a high-fat diet in macaques led to severe gastrointestinal inflammation and chronic wasting, with more pronounced effects in females, highlighting the potential risks of certain dietary interventions in obesity models.

In this mouse study, aerobic exercise was found to protect the intestinal mucosal barrier in obstructive jaundice by inhibiting the HMGB1 / TLR4 / NF-κB signaling pathway through the H2S / CSE system.

This thesis explores how optical coherence tomography and advanced imaging methods may address clinical needs in fields like interventional pulmonology and dermatology, highlighting their potential for disease assessment and staging.

This chapter reviews the presence and roles of stem cells in various body systems, focusing on their lifelong function in animals and humans, and reports no new experimental findings.

Lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia are likely the same disease with different clinical appearances.

This article reviews advances in hair transplant techniques such as megasessions of micro and mini grafts, highlighting platelet growth factors' potential to enhance hair density, without reporting new clinical findings.

This study observed that mink dermal collagen fibrils undergo structural changes during the hair cycle, with increased fiber thickness and bundle density as minks grow.

This study found that distinct low-threshold mechanoreceptors innervate different hair follicle types in mice, suggesting that these follicles serve as unique mechanosensory structures in touch perception.

In this case report, a 4-year-old Indian girl with linear and annular lupus panniculitis of the scalp achieved complete remission and hair regrowth with oral corticosteroids, showing no relapse after 6 months of follow-up.

This case report describes two instances of rare linear alopecia on the occipital scalp, associated histologically with lupus erythematosus profundus, despite resembling alopecia areata clinically.

This study describes the structure and composition of the epidermal horny layer in elephant seals, noting that its keratinized cells are attached without a specialized fission zone, differing from the sloughing mechanism in reptiles.

In this study, a mouse model of scarring alopecia demonstrated significantly reduced CD200R expression in affected skin, which may contribute to immune attacks on hair follicles.

Lgr5 is a marker for active, long-lasting stem cells in mouse hair follicles.

This study found that immune privilege collapse in the hair follicle bulge and associated immune responses may contribute significantly to the pathogenesis of lichen planopilaris, suggesting a potential autoimmune basis for the disease.

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 study reports that a patient with rare linear lichen planopilaris experienced complete hair regrowth after 12 weeks of treatment with the antibody ixekizumab, suggesting it as a potential targeted therapy.

This study concluded that label-retaining cells in mouse epidermis differ in their sensitivity to proliferative stimuli, influencing their division and potential transdifferentiation without consistently depleting their population.

In this study, upper-bulge epidermal stem cells in mouse hair follicles were shown to play a role in forming tactile sensory units by creating an extracellular matrix that supports nerve interactions.
