Using lasers to deliver minoxidil can potentially improve its effectiveness in treating male pattern hair loss.

This study found that lichen planus in Taiwanese patients is associated with several autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjögren's syndrome, and alopecia areata, with some gender-specific variations in associations.

This report describes a unique case of linear lichen planus pigmentosus on the face with histological features of lichen planopilaris, which has not been documented before.

This study highlights the diverse prescribing and monitoring practices for low-dose oral minoxidil among dermatologists in the UK and Ireland, used widely for various hair loss conditions both as monotherapy and adjunctive therapy.

This study identified miRNAs within the Dlk1-Gtl2 region on chromosome 18 as potential epigenetic regulators of lamb fur traits, with possible implications for the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway.

This study examined clinical characteristics of lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia in 24 men, revealing common scalp symptoms, frequent beard involvement, and limited association with thyroid disease.

This review discusses potential EMT-targeting drugs for treating lichen planopilaris and emphasizes the need for clinical trials, as current evidence is limited to individual cases or case series.

This study suggests that using a non-medicated, hypo-allergenic scalp clarifying shampoo may improve hair volume and reduce shedding in women with lichen planopilaris and female pattern hair loss.

This article narrates the author's personal journey with systemic lupus erythematosus over 15 years, highlighting the challenges and strategies for managing this complex disease and maintaining quality of life.

This report describes two unusual cases of lichen planopilaris in Caucasian patients, detailing features suggestive of folliculotropic mycosis fungoides and an overlap with systemic lupus erythematosus.

This study described a case where lupus erythematosus panniculitis preceded the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus, highlighting the need for regular follow-ups in LEP patients for potential SLE development.

This study reported that lichen planopilaris predominantly affects females over 60, with a registered prevalence rate of 0.02581%, and is often associated with autoimmune diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus, suggesting a need for further research to enhance treatment approaches.

This study found that nanostructured lipid carriers enhanced the skin penetration and retention of minoxidil compared to solid lipid nanoparticles, suggesting they could be a promising method for topical delivery.

This case report highlights lichen planus pigmentosus in a 60-year-old man, which was linked to previously undetected hepatitis C infection and liver cirrhosis, suggesting a need for hepatitis C testing in patients with similar dermatological manifestations.

This study reports a novel LSS gene mutation in an Egyptian family with alopecia intellectual disability syndrome 4, expanding the known clinical and genetic features of the condition.

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

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

In this case report, a 65-year-old woman with lichen planopilaris achieved stabilization of her condition through early recognition and systemic corticosteroid therapy, emphasizing the critical role of coordinated management between primary care and dermatology.

This study reported that certain minoxidil conjugates, specifically those with spermine, methylenedianiline, and diaminofluorene, were able to induce differentiation in HL-60 acute myeloid leukemia cells without toxicity at a concentration of 10 μM.

Low-level laser therapy reduces pain, swelling, and improves healing after wisdom tooth removal.

This review discusses photobiomodulation as a potential treatment for hair loss, highlighting its safety and possible effectiveness but noting cost, protocol standardization, and expectation management as limitations; it reports no new clinical results.

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 found that MRP3 is induced in wound edge keratinocytes during wound healing and may play a role as a growth or angiogenesis factor in this process and the hair follicle cycle.

This clinical trial found that combining 678 nm helmet-type low-level laser therapy with topical minoxidil 5% significantly increased hair density and patient satisfaction in men with androgenetic alopecia, compared to using minoxidil alone. Both treatments were well tolerated.

This study found that certain lncRNA gene polymorphisms in HOTAIR and MALAT1 are associated with increased susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus, potentially informing clinical applications.

This study suggests that MPZL3, a mitochondrially localized protein, may play an integral role in regulating hair follicle cycles, with potential therapeutic implications for hair growth disorders if findings translate to humans.

This case study reports the first known instance of lichen planopilaris being associated with multiple autoimmune syndrome in a woman with hypothyroidism and Crohn's disease.

In this preclinical study, researchers developed and evaluated a new non-invasive laser system designed for personalized medical use, showing its potential for chronic disease management and adjunctive fat reduction by offering enhanced treatment precision and adaptability over existing devices.

In this study, methotrexate therapy with or without corticosteroids showed similar efficacy and safety in treating patients with lichen planopilaris, with no significant differences in the primary outcome or adverse effects between the two groups.
