This article describes a non-blinded study investigating low level laser therapy for seven patients but reports no new clinical findings.

This study reported four new cases of NISCH syndrome in a Moroccan family, confirming genetic variability in liver disease severity and suggesting potential benefits from early UDCA therapy.

This study found that combining optical clearing methods with light-sheet fluorescence microscopy allows detailed 3D visualization of normal and pathological human skin biopsies, revealing differences in epidermal thickness and volume.

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.

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 review synthesizes the diverse roles of the transcription factor LHX2 in development, tissue maintenance, and injury repair across various organ systems, highlighting its potential therapeutic applications and significance in regenerative medicine, particularly in developmental disorders and tissue regeneration.

This study reports the first known case of linear lichen planopilaris following Blaschko's lines in a nonfacial region.

This extensive review discusses the clinical manifestations, potential associations, and treatment approaches for lichen planus, but reports no new clinical results, highlighting gaps in evidence for therapeutic strategies.

This case report documents the rare occurrence of lipedematous scalp in two black Caribbean female siblings, suggesting a potential genetic factor and noting psychiatric co-morbidities as novel associations.

Scarring alopecia involves increased immune cells and specific gene changes near damaged hair follicles.

This study reports on a 46-year-old female with a high hairline who underwent hairline-lowering surgery using bone-tunneling suture fixation, achieving an average of 2 cm reduction, equivalent to transplanting up to 3,000 hair grafts, with satisfactory results for both patient and surgeons.

This study introduces a new device for measuring changes in hair stiffness and lubricity, which can help predict the effects of various hair treatments.

This research observed that multifocal pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia may explain some cases of squamous nests in vulvar lichen sclerosus with lichen simplex chronicus, potentially as a reaction to tissue damage rather than squamous cell carcinoma.

In this case report, the patient was diagnosed with oral lichen sclerosus following a detailed clinical and histological examination and referral to dermatology, and it underscores the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in managing this rare condition and its associated risks.

This study reports a rare case of two siblings with lipoedematous scalp, suggesting a possible genetic link that warrants further investigation.

In this research, RNA expression analysis of scalp biopsies from lichen planopilaris patients revealed changes in specific genes after treatments with hydroxychloroquine, narrow band UVB, or low level laser light therapy, suggesting potential biomarkers and implicating M2 macrophages in the disease's immunopathogenesis.

This case study reported a rare occurrence of lepromatous leprosy with Lucio phenomenon in a 50-year-old Indonesian living in Malaysia, highlighting the necessity for primary care practitioners, even in non-endemic areas, to recognize this serious leprosy reaction to prevent complications and transmission.

This study demonstrated that litifilimab significantly reduced disease activity in cutaneous lupus erythematosus by Week 16, with improvements most notable in sunlight-exposed skin areas.

This review discusses Limbal Mesenchymal Stem Cell Secretome therapy for ocular chemical injuries, noting its potential in reducing inflammation and corneal opacity, but reports no new clinical results.

This paper presents a therapeutic approach with excellent results in a case of lichen planopilaris overlapping with dermatomyositis and scleroderma, although broader applicability is not discussed.

In this case report, lichen myxedematosus associated with hepatocellular carcinoma showed progressive improvement in skin lesions without further treatment following tumor resection.

This study found that using the novel eyelid shampoo ESL improved eyelid hygiene, reduced dry eye symptoms in meibomian gland dysfunction patients, and increased eyelash length over 8 weeks.

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.

This study demonstrated that lactate dehydrogenase activity is notably high in quiescent hair follicle stem cells within mouse skin using a specific enzymatic activity assay.

In this study, a 3-year-old Japanese child with autosomal recessive woolly hair was found to have a distinctive irregular and rough cuticle on the hair shaft, along with a homozygous pathogenic LIPH variant, suggesting a critical role for genetic analysis in understanding rare hair conditions.

This case report describes a strong dermoscopic and histopathological correlation in lichen nitidus, helping differentiate it from other similar conditions.

In this case report, a 9-year-old boy with Sjogren-Larsson syndrome was also diagnosed with central precocious puberty, showing genetic mutations and increased hormone levels; he was treated with triptorelin acetate for CPP but experienced growth delay during follow-up.

This article discusses Graham-Little Piccardi Lassueur Syndrome, a rare variant of Lichen planopilaris, but reports no clinical findings or results.

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.

This study identified two prevalent and one newly proposed founder LIPH mutations in Japanese patients with autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis and associated these mutations with different severities of hair loss.
