This study reviewed existing literature and found that androgenic alopecia may be associated with cardiovascular risk factors, while evidence for alopecia areata and cicatricial alopecias is limited and sometimes contradictory.

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.

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.

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

This review found that antimalarial agents were more effective than steroids for Lichen planopilaris, while finasteride and dutasteride showed favorable impacts on frontal fibrosing alopecia, despite heterogeneous study quality.

Women in Australia report different signs of facial aging compared to women in the US, UK, and Canada; men with Lichen planopilaris often have hormonal abnormalities and thyroid disease.

Most men with lichen planopilaris had it confirmed by biopsy and often had thyroid issues, sexual dysfunction, or prostate cancer, hinting at a link with hormonal problems.

Lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia are likely the same disease with different clinical appearances.

Mycophenolate mofetil may improve symptoms and stop hair loss in Lichen planopilaris, but more research is needed.

Lichen planopilaris is a rare, chronic condition causing hair loss, mainly in middle-aged women, and early treatment is important to prevent permanent baldness.

This study reviewed and reclassified 37 cases of primary scarring alopecia using histological methods to achieve more accurate diagnoses within subtypes like lupus erythematosus and lichen planopilaris.

This review suggests that 308 nm excimer therapy may offer a well-tolerated non-pharmacologic option for alopecia areata, with more limited evidence for its effectiveness in lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia.

This study found that subjective scalp sensations like hurting and burning are common among alopecia patients, with burning in particular showing a significant association with psychological distress in patients with lichen planopilaris and androgenetic alopecia, suggesting a potential psychoneuroinflammatory pathway.

This article notes the lack of US prevalence data for primary lymphocytic cicatricial alopecias due to the recent introduction of subtype-specific ICD-10 codes and highlights the importance of early diagnosis for hair preservation.

This study provides a framework for understanding different types of alopecias based on immune privilege collapse at specific follicular sites, revealing distinct patterns in immune effector programs and stromal influences depending on the alopecia type.

Lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia are likely distinct diseases with different tissue involvement.

This report describes a rare case of scarring alopecia, diagnosed as lichen planopilaris (LPP), affecting solely the limbs, highlighting the necessity for thorough evaluation of LPP beyond the scalp.

In this study, researchers developed iron-curcumin-coordinated nanoparticles to enhance curcumin's bioavailability and therapeutic effects, finding that these nanoparticles accelerate wound healing in diabetic mice by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress more effectively than free curcumin.

In this study, patients with lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia reported a substantial impairment in quality of life and experienced high levels of stress, often considering stress a cause of their condition.

This review details the global mutation patterns of genes associated with autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis and highlights potential, yet unproven, treatments like minoxidil and regenerative therapies, reporting no new clinical results.

In this experimental study, researchers found that Notopterygii rhizoma et radix (Qiang Huo) significantly alleviated psoriasis symptoms in mice and cell models, primarily by modulating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway, indicating potential as a multi-target alternative therapy for psoriasis treatment.

This study demonstrated that a mouse model of telogen effluvium induced by lipopolysaccharide was effective for evaluating the therapeutic effects of topical minoxidil, which accelerated hair regrowth in treated mice.

In this study, a nanoemulsion containing lavender, peppermint, and rosemary essential oils was developed and shown to promote hair growth in mice at a rate comparable to 2% topical minoxidil, suggesting a promising natural alternative due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

This study suggests that combining tranexamic acid with low-dose oral retinoids may offer moderate to good improvements for lichen plan pigmentosus, although larger trials are needed for confirmation.

This review found that hair transplantation in patients with primary cicatricial alopecias is a viable option when the disease is stable, with outcomes varying significantly by subtype.

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.

In this case report, researchers detailed a 22-year-old Turkish woman diagnosed with autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis (ARWH/H), linked to a mutation in the LIPH gene, resulting in sparse, poorly growing, curly hair, highlighting the need for genetic consideration in similar hair conditions.

This study found that patients with primary cicatricial alopecia are at higher risk of developing various comorbidities, including systemic lupus erythematosus, hypothyroidism, and dermatological conditions, compared to controls.

Specific immune cells and pathways contribute to hair follicle inflammation and hair loss, suggesting potential treatments for lichen planopilaris.

This reported case of lichen planopilaris in siblings suggests a potential genetic predisposition, supporting the hypothesis of inherited susceptibility in this condition.
