This study found that patients with alopecia areata have distinct mRNA and lncRNA expression profiles between normal and bald scalp areas, identifying differentially expressed genes and revealing potential biomarkers for diagnosis, with keratin family genes possibly playing a key role in the disease's pathogenesis.

This study highlights a rare case of vitamin D-dependent rickets type 2A caused by a heterozygous mutation in the vitamin D receptor gene, emphasizing the complexity of managing this condition with high-dose calcium and vitamin D therapy.

This study found that metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease is linked to a higher risk of androgenetic alopecia, especially in women and individuals with certain lifestyle patterns.

This case report reviews a 67-year-old man with both alopecia totalis and lichen planus of the nails, suggesting a possible autoimmune link between these rare concurrent conditions, but presents no new clinical data.

A 70-year-old woman with a rare skin condition improved after treatment with topical steroids and acitretin.

This study identified the rough coat mutation in mice, but found that LOXL is not the causal gene, although its downregulation might contribute to related phenotypic changes.

In this study, researchers found that retinoids might improve lupus nephritis resistant to conventional treatments, but the sample size was too small for significant results, and side effects were noted.

The abstract highlights that lichen planus can manifest as cicatricial alopecia or lichen planopilaris, while discoid lupus erythematosus, a common form of lupus erythematosus, typically causes scarring alopecia. Results are not reported here.

This study found that RNase L acts as a regeneration repressor gene in mammals, as seen in Rnasel-/- mice which showed increased regenerative capacity and elevated Wound Induced Hair Neogenesis through enhanced IL-36α signaling, suggesting a tradeoff between regeneration and immune regulation.

In this study, researchers analyzed skin tumors from patients with CYLD cutaneous syndrome and found that loss of CYLD function is linked to changes in cellular signaling pathways, particularly NF-κB signaling, and leads to increased secretion of specific extracellular matrix proteins.

This study identified biallelic variants in the LSS gene as a possible genetic cause of palmoplantar keratoderma-congenital alopecia syndrome type 2, highlighting the role of cholesterol synthesis in skin cornification.

This review examines low-level laser therapy as a potential treatment for androgenetic alopecia, presenting current clinical findings, proposed mechanisms, and rare side effects, but does not report new results.

This study found that low-level laser therapy may effectively stimulate hair growth in adults with androgenic alopecia, but further research is needed to confirm its long-term clinical effectiveness.

In this case study, a girl with hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets had a novel mutation in the VDR gene that affected hair cycling without causing total alopecia, suggesting ligand-independent VDR function in hair cycling.

This review discusses Graham-Little Piccardi-Lasseur syndrome, a rare dermatosis with limited treatment options, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis through physical exam and dermoscopy, but reports no new results.

The LTF gene may help predict and manage nonspecific orbital inflammation.

This review discusses the potential relationship between lichen planus pigmentosus and frontal fibrosing alopecia, presenting a case study but reporting no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the mixed evidence and high risk of bias in studies on low-level light therapy for treating androgenetic alopecia and calls for rigorous randomized controlled trials to assess its efficacy.

This study found that nanostructured lipid carriers enabled effective follicular delivery and accumulation of anti-hair loss drugs like dutasteride in mice, suggesting potential for reduced dosage frequency.

This case report discusses a 58-year-old female diagnosed with oral lichen sclerosus, an extremely rare form of the disorder, which improved following treatment with topical and intralesional corticosteroids, highlighting the importance of recognizing this rare condition in the oral mucosa.

This study found that Low Power Laser therapy may be an effective complementary treatment for scalp alopecia and crural ulcers, showing quicker and potentially better results than conventional treatments.

This study found that low-intensity light therapy improved quality of life related to emotional, psychosocial, and symptom domains in individuals with androgenic alopecia, with a greater impact observed in women.

The researchers reported that low-dose methotrexate, in combination with surgical dilatation and local treatments, may improve symptoms in patients with severe stenosing vulvovaginal lichen planus.

This case report describes a young male with trachyonychia with associated hypertrophic cutaneous lichen planus, reticular oral lichen planus, and nail lichen planus. The diagnosis was aided by dermoscopy and histopathology, highlighting the importance of accurate diagnosis for effective treatment and prognosis.

This study identified compound heterozygous mutations, c.1101del and c.736 T > A, in the LIPH gene responsible for causing autosomal recessive woolly hair in a child, with c.1101del being a novel frameshift mutation.

Men with Addison disease should be screened for X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy if they have hair loss.

This case study presents what is reportedly the first association of Graham Little-Lassueur Syndrome with chronic hepatitis C, observed in a 47-year-old female patient.

This article reports a case of Netherton's syndrome that responded to 12% ammonium lactate lotion, suggesting potential treatment benefits for skin and allergic symptoms in this rare condition.

This study reports that the loss of Langerhans cells in lichen planopilaris scars may be linked to the downregulation of ITG αvβ6, which is not seen in other scar formation diseases.

This study found that loss of the folliculin protein delays transferrin receptor recycling, leading to iron deficiency and suggesting a role in the mechanisms of Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome.
