This study reports the first known case of oral lichen planus preceding lichen planopilaris in a patient, highlighting a possible sequential relationship between the conditions.

This study identified a new subtype of lichen planopilaris that mimics androgenetic alopecia, selectively affecting vellus hair follicles and presenting unique histopathological features.

This review discusses newly identified non-Edg family lysophosphatidic acid receptors, detailing their roles in vascular development, platelet activation, and hair growth, and reports no clinical results.

This study discusses clinical cases of Lichen Planopilaris in men that were initially misdiagnosed and inadequately treated, resulting in significant irreversible hair loss.

This study found that cPPARγ and dnPPARγ isoforms are differentially expressed in healthy human skin, suggesting that PPARγ modulators may have compartment-specific effects depending on isoform presence.

This case report highlights that early signs like pili torti may precede lichen planopilaris in some patients, emphasizing the importance of timely intervention to prevent permanent hair loss.

This study reports a case of complete hair regrowth in lichen planopilaris after 12 weeks of treatment with ixekizumab, suggesting its potential as a targeted therapy.

This study found that female patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia are significantly more likely to have systemic lupus erythematosus compared to controls.

In this case report, a rare instance of Graham–Little–Piccardi–Lassueur syndrome coexisting with linear lichen planus was identified in a 35-year-old male, highlighting the condition's rarity in males, with dermoscopy aiding diagnosis through distinctive scalp and trunk lesion features.

This report describes two cases where lichen planopilaris compromised hair follicles in both donor and recipient areas after follicular unit transplantation, emphasizing the need for a biopsy if lichen planopilaris is suspected.

This study reports that the loss of Langerhans cells in lichen planopilaris scars may be linked to the downregulation of ITG αvβ6, which is not seen in other scar formation diseases.

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.

Up to 10% of hair loss patients might have early signs of a condition called Lichen Planopilaris.

No treatment showed clear superiority for lichen planopilaris.

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.

People with lichen planopilaris often have seborrheic dermatitis, which can delay the diagnosis of lichen planopilaris.

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.

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.

This study found that line-field confocal optical coherence tomography effectively visualized key diagnostic features of classic lichen planopilaris in real time, suggesting its potential as a valuable diagnostic tool.

This review discusses the role of trichoscopy in diagnosing lichen planopilaris and reports no clinical results; the authors emphasize early recognition to potentially prevent permanent scarring.

This case report by the researchers observed a complete remission of lichen planopilaris in a 58-year-old woman after treatment with the JAK-1 inhibitor abrocitinib, although they noted that concurrent topical therapy might have contributed to this outcome.

This study found that lichen planopilaris in men typically presents similarly to women, with a lower likelihood of nonscalp hair loss and a higher association with mucosal lichen planus and thyroid disease.

This research letter discusses the use of Janus kinase inhibitors for treating lichen planopilaris, although specific results or conclusions from the study are not provided.

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

This study found that six sessions of a modified phenol peel effectively reduced hyperpigmentation in patients with Lichen Planus Pigmentosus, with 76% of treated individuals experiencing at least a 25% improvement, and no serious side effects reported.

This review discusses Graham-Little Piccardi-Lasseur syndrome, a rare dermatosis with limited treatment options, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis through physical exam and dermoscopy, but reports no new results.

In this pilot study, PDLLA scalp microinjections showed improvement in physician-rated Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale scores over 12-24 weeks for 90% of patients with non-scarring alopecia, with no serious adverse events reported, although findings remain preliminary due to methodological limitations.

This study used atomic force microscopy to identify significant morphological differences in hair from patients with lichen planopilaris compared to healthy controls, noting more scratches, uneven edges, and pitted scales in affected hair, which may aid future research on the condition.

This case report describes the first instance of classical lichen planopilaris with atrophic lichenoid plaques developing in a Blaschko-linear pattern due to imatinib treatment in a patient with chronic myeloid leukemia.

In this study, treatment with oral JAK inhibitors was associated with improved disease outcomes in 80.6% of patients with refractory lichen planopilaris over a mean duration of 5 months.
