This study reported discovering a novel missense variant in a case of autosomal recessive woolly hair in a 31-year-old Chinese woman, which significantly reduced secretion of the encoded protein, likely leading to disease by impairing its hydrolytic function.

This study suggests that sirolimus and propranolol may reduce abnormal lymphatic endothelial cell proliferation in lymphatic malformations, potentially improving vessel function and patient outcomes.

This study found that low fluence photoepilation with intense pulsed light targets the pigmented area of hair follicles, causing temporary hair loss by inducing a catagen-like state without severe follicle damage.

This study demonstrated that using lead-doped keratin film as a calibration standard allows for accurate tracking of lead distribution along hair strands, revealing different exposure patterns among workers in a battery manufacturing factory in Thailand.

This study found that oral tofacitinib improved disease activity in patients with lichen planopilaris, suggesting it may be a promising treatment option for this condition.

In this study, researchers conducted a retrospective analysis of 16 cases of erosive palmoplantar lichen planus in North East India, finding a higher prevalence in pediatric and male patients, with common clinical features including plantar involvement and histopathological indicators such as basal cell degeneration.

This study identified that in Japanese patients with autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis, the c.736T > A LIPH mutation is associated with a mild phenotype, while the c.742C > A mutation may lead to severe baldness.

This review discusses the roles of interferon-γ and PPAR-γ-mediated signalling in scarring alopecia, suggesting these pathways as potential therapeutic targets, but it reports no new empirical results.

In this study, frontal fibrosing alopecia showed a higher cumulative remission rate compared to lichen planopilaris, despite similar timeframes and relapse rates between the two conditions.

In this study, clinically used preoperative skin preparations with povidone iodine and chlorhexidine gluconate did not meet FDA log-reduction standards for bacterial bioburden in a porcine model, suggesting persistent infection risks.

This study explored the structure and function of lipocalin prostaglandin D synthase, revealing its dual role in substrate catalysis and as a lipophilic ligand carrier, potentially informing future drug delivery design.

This report describes a case of granulomatous reaction to injectable poly-L-lactic acid in the periorbital area and suggests surgical excision as an effective treatment for persistent nodules.

This study found that mouse embryonic fibroblasts better supported the growth and maintenance of LGR5+ epidermal stem cells compared to porcine fetal fibroblasts, under various culture conditions.

In this study, patients with facial papules due to Lichen planopilaris showed no improvement with treatments for frontal fibrosing alopecia or scalp Lichen planopilaris.

In this study, researchers reported that applying topical 7.5% dapsone led to a significant decline in lichen planopilaris activity within a month and a sustained two-year remission in a patient intolerant to other treatments, suggesting dapsone as a promising alternative for managing this condition.

This article discusses a case of Graham Little–Piccardi–Lassueur syndrome in a patient with androgen insensitivity syndrome and reports no new research findings.

This case study discusses a postmenopausal woman's frontal fibrosing alopecia and lichen planus pigmentosus, controlled with corticosteroids and finasteride, highlighting diagnostic and therapeutic challenges in scarring alopecia.

This study found that prototype right heart circulatory assist devices significantly improved hemodynamics and reduced pulmonary vascular resistances in piglet models of acute hemodynamic shock.

This case series found that trichoscopy and biopsy of the scalp in individuals with skin of color identified concurrent lichen planopilaris and female androgenic alopecia, highlighting the importance of comprehensive scalp evaluation to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.

This study found that treatment with oral tofacitinib, alone or with other therapies, was associated with clinical improvement in most patients with recalcitrant lichen planopilaris.

This study found that a combination of dermatoscopy and reflectance confocal microscopy assists in accurately diagnosing pigmented prurigo, which is often misdiagnosed due to its varied clinical manifestations.

This study suggests that prolactin has complex, gender- and location-dependent effects on human hair follicles, promoting hair growth in female frontotemporal scalp areas while inhibiting it in male occipital regions.

This study demonstrated that LGR5 is a marker of hair follicle stem cells across species using a transgenic pig model and noted similarities and differences in expression patterns compared to humans.

The laser therapy device effectively increased hair growth in people with androgenetic alopecia.

This review discusses the formation of gintonin LPAs in ginseng during processing and reports no new clinical results; the authors suggest potential benefits against degenerative diseases through LPA receptors.

This study identified a specific LIPH gene mutation (736T>A) as common in Japanese patients with autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis, potentially indicating its role in the condition's manifestation within this population.

This study found that CD1a-restricted CD4+ T cells responsive to lysyl-phosphatidylglycerol were more frequent in the blood of atopic dermatitis patients, suggesting a potential role in the disease's Th2-mediated pathology.

The woman was diagnosed with lichen planopilaris and can be treated with corticosteroids.

The study found that prolactin expressed in human scalp hair follicles acts as an autocrine modulator, inhibiting hair growth and promoting hair follicle regression, which may contribute to hair loss in hyper-prolactinemia patients.

This study found that mice lacking sPLA2-IIE had distinct skin abnormalities, particularly affecting hair follicles, highlighting the differing roles of sPLA2 isoforms in mouse skin.
