This letter reports a homozygous missense mutation in the LIPH gene causing autosomal recessive hypotrichosis simplex in a Chinese patient.

This case study reports a rare coexistence of alopecia areata and lichen planopilaris in a 37-year-old woman and highlights the importance of targeting active scalp areas for biopsy to appropriately manage coexisting scarring and non-scarring alopecias, with distinct therapeutic priorities.

This case report demonstrates a strong association between protein-losing enteropathy and systemic lupus erythematosus, with symptoms and conditions improving with prednisolone treatment.

In this study, researchers found that Langerhans' cells likely do not play a role in the depigmentation process in C57Bl/Ler-vit.vit mice, as their number was normal during depigmentation and highest afterward.

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

In this case report, a rare form of chronic cutaneous lupus, lupus erythematosus profundus, was treated effectively with topical and systemic therapies, leading to improvement and healing of ulcerations, though resulting in atrophic scars and macules.

This article contains no new research findings or results.

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.

In this study, low-level light therapy increased the proliferation and activation of dermal papilla cells, which in turn may enhance the growth of outer root sheath keratinocytes, suggesting potential mechanisms for improving hair follicle interaction.

In this observational study, dermoscopy was found to be a useful tool in diagnosing lichen planopilaris among patients with primary cicatricial alopecia.

This study reported that diffuse lichen planopilaris significantly impairs quality of life in Moroccan patients, with trichodynia and hair quality changes most affecting daily functioning and leisure activities.

This article discusses two cases of the rare combination of frontal fibrosing alopecia and lichenoid pigmentation in women, but reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that lichen planopilaris should be considered as a potential diagnosis in African American women with scarring alopecia, often displaying an "arrowhead" distribution pattern, which may guide treatment strategies.

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 found that bimatoprost eye drops significantly increased eyelash length, thickness, pigmentation, and the number of eyelashes per follicle in rabbits within one month.

This study found that low level laser therapy at 655 nm significantly increased hair counts in males with androgenetic alopecia.

In this study, Lespedeza bicolor extract was found to enhance dermal papilla cell proliferation and extend the anagen phase in mice, suggesting its potential as a treatment for alopecia.

This study conducted at a Moroccan tertiary dermatology center describes the characteristics of pediatric lichen, highlighting that dermoscopy can improve diagnostic accuracy by identifying distinct patterns across clinical variants, with lichen sclerosus being the most frequent subtype among the children studied.

This study found that Lepidium sativum seed extract showed potential in treating alopecia in rats by reducing 5(alpha)-dihydrotestosterone levels and improving hair length compared to minoxidil.

This article reviews lichen planopilaris, a chronic scarring alopecia, and explores recent treatment developments, but it reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes a patient with lupus nephritis coexisting with discoid lupus erythematosus and vitiligo, noting improvement in proteinuria and DLE lesions following treatment, while vitiligo lesions persisted.

This case study found that a 7-year-old girl's crystalline cataract had sulfur-containing amino acids likely cystine, and was associated with abnormal hair conditions.

This article discusses the applications and proposed benefits of LED low level light therapy for various conditions like acne, wound healing, and pain relief, but provides no new clinical results.

In this case report, a 65-year-old woman with lichen planopilaris achieved stabilization of her condition through early recognition and systemic corticosteroid therapy, emphasizing the critical role of coordinated management between primary care and dermatology.

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.

In this study, adding low-level light therapy to minoxidil significantly improved hair regrowth and patient satisfaction in treating androgenetic alopecia compared to minoxidil alone.

In this randomized, double-blind trial, researchers observed that low-level laser therapy led to significantly greater hair regrowth on treated areas compared to a sham treatment in patients with androgenetic alopecia over 24 weeks, suggesting it as a potentially effective and safe option.

This chapter provides dermatology trainees with insights on managing lichen planopilaris, emphasizing treating active disease to prevent further hair loss and recommending a tapered course of oral steroids for disease stabilization.

This case report describes a 46,XY female patient with a novel homozygous nonsense mutation in the LHCGR gene, highlighting the need for molecular analysis in disorders of sexual development.
