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

The enzyme PA-PLA1α is important for proper hair follicle development.

Using a transgenic pig model, this study demonstrated that LGR5 is a marker of hair follicle stem cells across different species, with important similarities and differences in gene expression and developmental processes.

This study reports that the autotaxin–LPA–LPA3 signaling pathway at the embryo-epithelial boundary plays a critical role in decidualization by up-regulating HB-EGF and COX-2 in the uterine epithelium.

In this case study from King Fahad University Hospital, an 11-month-old Saudi boy with a history of short, non-growing hair was diagnosed with autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis, attributed to a homozygous mutation in the LIPH gene.

This study found that the transcription factor Lhx2 regulates Sonic Hedgehog signaling in mouse retinal progenitor cells, mainly by controlling the expression of co-receptors essential for effective pathway activation during early retinal neurogenesis.

This study found that a single ablative fractional laser treatment significantly reduced hedgehog pathway gene expression in microscopic murine basal cell carcinomas, nearly matching the effects of repeated topical vismodegib applications.

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.

This study identified ISPP-Rb, a novel immuno-stimulatory complex from Royoporus badius, that significantly activates murine macrophage cells and induces multiple proinflammatory cytokines.

The Nd:YAG laser is a successful and safe way to treat ingrown and pincer nails.

In this study, remote photobiomodulation therapy to the lungs improved behavioral and neurological outcomes in rats with repeated closed-head injuries, suggesting potential preventive benefits for brain health.

In this study, solid lipid microparticles loaded with lidocaine hydrochloride were developed to effectively deliver pain relief and antimicrobial benefits for wound management, demonstrated by testing with bioengineered skin substitutes and showing effectiveness against common wound-infecting bacteria.

This study suggests that the expression and localization of toll-like receptors and caveolin-1 in lichen planopilaris may influence cicatricial alopecia pathobiology and that downregulating caveolae could offer a novel management strategy.

In this study, deleting the transcriptional pause factor Nelfb in mouse preadipocyte lineages led to defective dermal fat formation and lethal outcomes, while interventions targeting Pparg could rescue adipocyte differentiation and promote dermal white adipose tissue formation, underscoring Nelfb's critical role in adipogenesis.

Minoxidil solution applied twice daily improved hair growth in patients with Woolly Hair/Hypotrichosis due to LIPH gene issues, with mild side effects.

This study found that nonionic liposomes were the most effective vehicle for delivering reporter genes into the skin of rat pups, compared to other liposome and nonliposome formulations.

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 describes trichoscopy features of lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia, identifying distinct patterns that help differentiate the two conditions.

In this study, lupus panniculitis of the scalp was associated with a high incidence of recurrence and progression to systemic lupus erythematosus, despite various treatments showing complete response within weeks.

This article details various skin and oral lesions through illustrative figures but does not present new research results.

The studies reviewed found favorable treatment outcomes for hypopigmented scars using PGF2α agonists with no adverse events reported. However, the authors highlight the need for larger randomized controlled trials to better understand their effectiveness and long-term safety.

This study demonstrated that a 1-step, peroxidase-labeled conjugated antibody method provides more accurate immunoreactivity patterns in hair follicle substructures compared to the 2-step LSAB method, which may cause false-positive staining in sebaceous glands.

This case report describes a rare occurrence of lichen planopilaris on the face in a 45-year-old man, contributing to the limited existing cases in the literature.

This report presents two cases of Berardinelli–Seip syndrome, emphasizing the role of genetic analysis and comprehensive care in managing the variability and complications of this rare condition.

This article reports on lentiginosis observed within plaques of linear atrophoderma of Moulin and discusses its potential classification as a twin-spotting phenomenon but provides no new clinical research results.

This article introduces the Progressive Loss (PL) Scale, aimed at helping physicians communicate the long-term cosmetic risks of hair restoration surgery to patients.

This study reports that cannabinoid receptor type 1 may influence psoriasis development by modulating laminin-511 expression, suggesting a potential target for treatment.

The LTF gene may help predict and manage nonspecific orbital inflammation.

Postinflammatory hyperpigmentation causes dark skin patches and needs personalized 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.
