This letter reports a homozygous missense mutation in the LIPH gene causing autosomal recessive hypotrichosis simplex in a Chinese patient.

In this case study, a woman with frontal fibrosing alopecia and associated hyperpigmentation showed significant improvement in skin pigmentation and itch after 9 months of treatment with mycophenolate mofetil, highlighting its therapeutic potential for lichen planus pigmentosus linked to this condition.

In this study, PRP and Yifu combined with ultrapulsed CO2 lattice laser were found to improve sunken acne scars more effectively than laser alone, enhancing patients' quality of life and reducing adverse events, with a higher effective rate compared to the laser-only group.

This review discusses the efficacy of the lipidosterolic extract of Serenoa repens for treating lower urinary tract symptoms and reports no new clinical results; the authors propose further examination of the existing literature and guidelines.

PLAU and SerpinB2 affect cell death differently in various forms of leprosy and could be targets for new treatments.

This case report describes an 18-year-old girl with systemic lupus erythematosus who developed lupus pneumonitis, initially misdiagnosed as tuberculosis, and responded dramatically to corticosteroid treatment.

This study found that CPA-loaded nanoparticles, particularly SLN formulations, increased CPA epidermal penetration compared to a conventional cream and may reduce side effects in treating androgen-dependent conditions.

ChatGPT is preferred for creating dermatology patient handouts, but all models can be useful with oversight.

This report presents a rare case of lichen spinulosus in a 52-year-old woman, featuring hyperkeratotic follicular papules and a dense lymphohistiocytic infiltrate in affected skin areas.

In this observational study, researchers reported a significant association between COVID-19 infection or vaccination and the development of new-onset lichen planus, suggesting these events, particularly infection, may act as triggers for the condition.

In this study, researchers found no significant differences in the serum levels of DHEAs, DHT, and testosterone between female patients with oral lichen planus and healthy controls, suggesting no neuroendocrine etiology is associated with this condition.

This study found that topically applied liposomal spherical nucleic acids targeting the IL-17 receptor could effectively reduce psoriasis severity in preclinical models.

This study reported an incidence of lichen planus of 0.16% among patients, with the classical type being most common, and found associations with various immune-mediated diseases and rare cases of malignant transformation.

This case report highlights a female patient with familial partial lipodystrophy who showed significant improvement in liver stiffness after starting leptin replacement therapy.

This study reported that a solid lipid nanoparticle-based gel formulation, specifically optimized for psoriasis, improved drug loading capacity and release properties using high-pressure homogenization, suggesting its potential efficacy as a topical treatment.

This review discusses the possible impacts of prolactin on skin conditions like psoriasis, alopecia, and stress-related dermatoses, emphasizing the need for further research to explore its therapeutic potential.

This study found that intense pulsed light treatment achieved a mean of 85% hair reduction in two patients with faun tail, although local anesthesia may be needed due to severe pain associated with neurological abnormalities.

This study found that periodic intratesticular PRP administration may slightly enhance testicular development in male lambs, indicated by increased testicular blood flow, length, and reduced resistance index compared to saline.

This study found that combining optical clearing methods with light-sheet fluorescence microscopy allows detailed 3D visualization of normal and pathological human skin biopsies, revealing differences in epidermal thickness and volume.

This study by Arthritis Ireland highlights that individuals living with lupus in Ireland face widespread impacts on daily life, work, and mental health, with 70% experiencing frequent flares despite 93% being on medication; 45% also reported significant medication side effects.

This study observed that POMP is strongly expressed in the root sheath hair follicles of Liaoning Cashmere goats and its expression can be regulated by certain factors, which may influence cashmere growth.

This study provides ex vivo proof-of-principle that low-intensity ultrasound may protect human hair follicles from paclitaxel-induced damage, potentially reducing chemotherapy-related alopecia.

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 research observed that multifocal pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia may explain some cases of squamous nests in vulvar lichen sclerosus with lichen simplex chronicus, potentially as a reaction to tissue damage rather than squamous cell carcinoma.

This study demonstrated that the IVL-DrugFluidic® platform is effective for mass-producing finasteride-loaded polymeric microspheres for long-acting injectables, maintaining stable drug release without an initial burst for a month.

This study found that lichen planopilaris is a common cause of scalp scarring alopecia in adults and has distinctive clinical features that help differentiate it from other similar conditions.

In this study, researchers found no significant differences in serum levels of DHEAs, DHT, and testosterone between female patients with oral lichen planus and healthy controls, suggesting no neuroendocrine etiology linked to the condition.

This review suggested that low-level light therapy using red/near-infrared light could be a safe and effective treatment for various skin and hair conditions, though more robust trials are needed to solidify its clinical utility.

This letter discusses three plasmacytoid dendritic cell-related parameters that may help differentiate lupus alopecia from lichen planopilaris, but it reports no new study results.
