This article discusses the characteristics of lichen planus pigmentosus and frontal fibrosing alopecia but reports no new clinical findings; the authors review existing knowledge.

This review explores links between metabolic syndrome and skin diseases, reporting shared mechanisms like inflammation and hormonal imbalances that may influence conditions such as acne, rosacea, psoriasis, and alopecia, and emphasizes the importance of managing cardiovascular risks in affected patients.

This review discusses recent advances in understanding the cellular, molecular, and genetic factors contributing to lupus erythematosus and reports no new experimental findings.

This study found that erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp is often misdiagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma, highlighting the importance of biopsy for accurate diagnosis.

This review summarized multiple molecular markers studied for their association with dry skin, finding considerable variability and uncertainty about which markers best indicate xerosis cutis.

This article, a special issue on hair follicle biology and pathology, reports no new research findings.

This case report suggests that identifying hyperpigmentation on the upper eyelid with specific dermoscopy patterns could help diagnose facial lichen planus pigmentosus without needing a facial biopsy.

This review discusses loose anagen hair syndrome in children, characterized by non-scarring alopecia and increased hair shedding, and reports no new results; topical minoxidil may be used as a treatment.

This study found that hyperpigmented skin changes resembling Schamberg’s purpura occur in areas affected by CRPS and can also appear on mirror-image locations of unaffected limbs, potentially improving with the condition's treatment.

This study discusses the epithelial-immune microenvironment in chronic skin diseases, such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis, and highlights current and future treatment strategies targeting inflammatory loops within these diseases.

This case report highlights a rare instance of CD8-positive hypopigmented mycosis fungoides causing alopecia areata-like changes, emphasizing the necessity of scalp biopsy in such presentations.

In this systematic review, researchers found that individuals with lichen sclerosus have a higher prevalence of comorbidities like vitiligo, alopecia areata, and cardiovascular diseases compared to non-affected controls, and suggest screening all LS patients for cardiovascular risk factors and other diseases.

This case report details an 80-year-old woman with circle hair potentially linked to acquired ichthyosis from multiple myeloma, where a prescribed topical treatment led to clinical improvement.

In this study, researchers suggested that adipose-derived exosomes could be a promising treatment option for lichen planopilaris, particularly in cases resistant to standard therapies, by potentially aiding in symptom management and hair preservation.

This case report describes a 44-year-old patient with late-onset partial lipodystrophy, mental retardation, epilepsy, ichthyosis, and glomerulonephritis, linked to a 10 Mb duplication of chromosome region 5q31.3-5q32.1.

This review discusses the role of the long form of thymic stromal lymphopoietin in cutaneous immune-mediated diseases and reports no new results.

In this study, Msx2-deficient mice showed progressive hair loss due to shortened anagen phase and prolonged catagen and telogen phases, resulting in cyclic alopecia with structurally abnormal hair shafts.

This review highlights that platelet-rich plasma and adipose-derived stem cell therapy may offer safe and promising improvements for managing symptoms of genital lichen sclerosus, with a potential synergistic benefit when combined.

This study synthesizes knowledge of how dendritic cell signals, epithelial integrins, and fibroblast activity converge on TGF-β1 to maintain or disrupt skin healing, contrasting normal and fibrotic scar formation and suggesting possible integrin and immune-targeted treatments for skin fibrosis.

This article highlights that erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp is often under-diagnosed in the United States, potentially leading to unnecessary surgery.

This study examined dermatological conditions in people with multiple sclerosis and found nevus and hair diseases to be the most common, indicating the importance of comprehensive skin examinations for early diagnosis and treatment.

This review discusses the etiology of moth-eaten alopecia patterns in lichen planopilaris and emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and treatment to prevent permanent scarring, offering no new empirical findings.

This case study describes a cat with concurrent cutaneous xanthomas, demodicosis, and dermatophytosis, which suggests potential primary hyperlipidaemia as the underlying cause for its symptoms.

This study reports that acquired frictional alopecia of the lower legs, often caused by socks or footwear, is a non-scarring condition that may be more common than previously thought.

In this article, the authors compile various dermatological conditions that metaphorically reference animal-related visuals, such as "buffalo hump" in HIV-associated lipodystrophy or "leonine facies" in lepromatous leprosy, to enhance learning through mnemonic and visual associations.

Skin-associated cartilage cells can influence hair growth by altering specific signaling pathways.

This review summarizes current literature associating mitochondrial dysfunction with dermatologic issues like skin aging, hair loss, and poor wound healing, noting potential benefits in targeting mitochondrial components for treatments.

This case report describes a 53-year-old woman with a rare presentation of trichostasis spinulosa on her breast and abdomen, featuring itchy, comedo-like lesions. Dermoscopy revealed diagnostic features that may eliminate the need for a biopsy, highlighting the potential for non-invasive diagnosis in such cases.

This review discusses the diverse clinical manifestations of mucopolysaccharidoses in children and emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and treatment initiation, but it reports no new clinical findings.
