This case report describes a 5-year-old girl with childhood discoid lupus erythematosus, where treatment led to reversal of scarring alopecia and hair regrowth.

This study proposed and tested an Ensemble Pre-Learned Deep Learning and Optimized Long Short-Term Memory (EPL-OLSTM) model for classifying Alopecia Areata, achieving a 93.1% accuracy in differentiating healthy from varying severity levels of AA scalp hair using specific datasets.

In this study, transgenic mice altered to express a Clim-inhibiting molecule under a keratin promoter showed corneal degradation and hair follicle failure, highlighting Clim proteins' role in maintaining these tissues.

This study reports that metreleptin treatment in a boy with congenital generalized lipodystrophy significantly improved metabolic complications and overall health outcomes during the first year of therapy.

This study evaluated a novel hand-held low-level light therapy device for treating mild-to-moderate acne, finding it significantly reduced inflammatory lesions and moderate acne severity without severe adverse reactions, while also reducing Cutibacterium acnes viability in vitro.

This review discusses the clinical and trichoscopic features of lichen planopilaris and notes its potential underdiagnosis prior to hair transplant, but it reports no new findings.

In this study, researchers analyzed lurasidone's risk profile for treating schizophrenia and bipolar depression, identifying unlisted adverse reactions like hypersexuality, restless leg syndrome, thrombocytopenia, and telogen effluvium, which show probable or possible correlations with the drug.

This review categorizes 59 modifications of the Dermatology Life Quality Index across multiple studies, highlighting the need for further validation of these customized health-related quality of life tools in dermatology.

This study reported that the combination of a 308-nm excimer lamp and 10% liquor carbonis detergens significantly improved scalp psoriasis symptoms compared to the excimer lamp alone, with more patients achieving 75% reduction in their Psoriasis Scalp Severity Index.

This letter discusses the limited adaptation of low dose oral minoxidil for androgenetic alopecia in North America and reports no new clinical results; the authors suggest safety concerns or unclear dosing may be factors.

Lichen Planopilaris causes irreversible hair loss due to immune attacks on hair stem cells, but modulating PPAR-γ might help treat it.

This study found that Fructus Ligustri Lucidi water extract significantly increased proliferation in human hair dermal papilla cells, potentially promoting hair growth by activating ERK and Akt pathways.

In this case study, researchers observed reversible scalp hair loss associated with centrifugal lipodystrophy, potentially linked to altered leptin expression in inflamed adipose tissue.

This report details two cases of Lichen spinulosus in the submental area, treated effectively and safely with topical tacalcitol cream.

This study reported that genetic testing is crucial for accurately diagnosing hypotrichosis, especially in cases with subtle symptoms or coexisting severe atopic dermatitis, as demonstrated in a young girl with a DSG4 gene mutation.

This review describes how recent discoveries in genetic defects and alternative pathways in androgen biosynthesis are reshaping our understanding of male sexual differentiation, but it presents no new clinical findings.

This case report describes the first confirmed instances of X-linked adrenomyeloneuropathy/adrenoleukodystrophy in two brothers from Bangladesh, noting their progressive neurological symptoms, MRI findings, and differing disease outcomes over several years of observation.

This study found that low-level laser therapy with an 830-nm wavelength most significantly stimulated hair growth in rats, compared to other wavelengths tested.

This case report emphasizes that lipedematous scalp and lipedematous alopecia are not distinct diseases, highlighting the need to consider reversible causes of alopecia for effective treatment.

This case report presents a 2-year-old girl with type B loose anagen syndrome diagnosed through a painless hair pull test, avoiding unnecessary further tests or referrals.

This study found pathogenic mutations in genes EDA, EDA1R, and EDARADD in 101 out of 124 hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia patients, revealing 23 novel mutations and indicating genetic variability.

This study found that low-level laser therapy (LLLT) may enhance hearing recovery after noise-induced hearing loss in rats.

In this report, a 54-year-old woman with familial dyskeratotic comedones showed slight improvement in skin lesions after topical retinoids and urea cream. This source also describes the first dermoscopic findings for this condition and reviews 21 previous cases.

In this study, researchers developed a new photoactivatable Cre recombinase mouse model, DiLiCre, which allows precise light-induced genetic modifications and cell tracing, demonstrating its effectiveness for advancing biological and biomedical research.

Low level laser or LED therapy combined with infiltrations may help hair growth.

This study demonstrates that confocal laser scanning microscopy can effectively visualize the rapid diffusion and penetration pathway of a dye into the hair follicle in fresh human scalp skin.

This systematic review found that low-level light/laser therapy showed a positive effect in treating male and female pattern hair loss without side effects, as reported by all analyzed randomized controlled trials.

In this study, researchers found that the gene LRRC15 was overexpressed in dermal papilla cells from balding areas compared to non-balding areas in patients with androgenetic alopecia.

Discoid lupus erythematosus involves immune activation and fibrosis around hair follicles, with shared pathways across humans, dogs, and mice, suggesting potential treatments for both humans and animals.
