This review of low-level laser therapy for patterned hair loss found that red-spectrum light may be effective for hair growth, but larger case-controlled studies are needed to further support this conclusion.

This case study reports a 20-year-old laborer's progressive hair loss with scalp and body lesions, diagnosed as lichen planopilaris, leading to scarring alopecia resembling male-pattern baldness.

In this case series, researchers observed a rare presentation of lichen planopilaris confined to the face in six patients, with dermoscopic and histopathological profiles indicating scarring alopecia and pigment changes, and suggested that shaving and mustard oil use might trigger the condition.

This study observed that PRP treatment resulted in greater improvement in hair thickness and density in alopecia areata patients compared to LLLT, with benefits sustained over 12 weeks.

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 case report documents the first known instance of Graham‐Little Piccardi Lassueur Syndrome in Saudi Arabia, observed in an adult dark-skinned male.

This study analyzed techniques to create the popular "sun-kissed" hair look on dark-to-medium blonde (Level 5–6) tones, concluding that a 2–3 level differential, targeted placement across three cranial zones, and acidic glossing are essential for optimal results.

This study suggested that differences in hair follicle development, indicated by the frequency of underdeveloped hairs, significantly contribute to the variation in hair loss severity among Japanese individuals with the LIPH c.736T>A mutation.

This case report suggests that exosome therapy may offer a promising alternative treatment for lichen planopilaris, showing potential benefits in hair regrowth, reduced inflammation, and improved scalp condition, but further studies are needed to confirm long-term efficacy and safety.

This study found that non-ionic silicone emulsion best protected hair color from UV-induced fading, outperforming honeysuckle extract and benzophenone-3, with significant effects in both dyed and virgin hair.

This study suggests that a purified sphingolipid fraction can activate melanocyte stem cells via p38 signalling, potentially offering a non-UV-based treatment for vitiligo, though additional validation is needed.

This article discusses the importance of early recognition of LPP due to its significant aesthetic and psychosocial effects and calls for efforts to prevent misdiagnosis.

This study reports that a clinical nutrition program may improve fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, and various symptoms in a 40-year-old female with systemic erythematous lupus.

In this case study, a 69-year-old woman with pityriasis rubra pilaris developed a scarring alopecia with lichen-planopilaris-like features, which responded well to early treatment.

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 tribuloside, a flavonoid from Tribulus terrestris L., enhances melanin production in human melanocytes, zebrafish, and human skin samples without causing toxicity, potentially through inhibiting PDE to increase cAMP levels and promote the melanin biosynthesis pathway.

This study found that topical and intralesional corticosteroids are effective in treating the primary symptoms of lichen planopilaris and promoting hair regrowth in the active perimeter of alopecic patches.

This article describes the various presentations of oral lichen planus and notes it often requires topical or systemic immunosuppressive treatment for associated discomfort, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study investigated a spontaneous mutation in mice resulting in hair abnormalities and elevated IgE levels, which resembles human Netherton's syndrome and monilethrix.

This study found that Litfulo improved hair regrowth in patients aged 12 and older with severe alopecia areata but did not meaningfully improve anxiety or depression symptoms compared to placebo.

This study found that adding molybdenum to poultry diets depressed growth without affecting feather pigmentation, and copper supplementation tended to counteract the growth inhibition.

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 observed that trichoscopy of long-lasting lesions in a chronic stage revealed specific features such as absence of follicular openings, cicatricial patches, and thick arborizing vessels.

In this study, the PLP2 gene was found to promote secondary hair follicle development in Liaoning cashmere goats, with its expression negatively regulated by melatonin and potentially affecting follicle development via the BMP pathway.

This study found distinct differences in UEA I glycoprotein binding on follicular keratinocytes between anagen and telogen hair follicles, with staining associated with follicle length and regrowth.

In this study, researchers using a UVB-induced mouse model identified the gene COL7A1 as a novel marker for hair luster, finding that minoxidil, caffeine, and biotin effectively restored its expression, indicating potential therapeutic strategies.

This study highlights that early detection and tailored treatment based on kidney biopsy classification are crucial in managing lupus nephritis to prevent progression to end-stage kidney disease, with a focus on saving nephron cells.

This study found that low-level laser/light therapy is effective and safe for treating mild to moderate androgenetic alopecia in individuals with certain skin types, especially when combined with other treatments, although further research is needed to refine protocols and verify long-term outcomes.

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

This study found that trichoscopy is crucial for distinguishing lupus erythematosus-specific alopecia from alopecia areata, leading to more accurate diagnoses and better outcomes for patients.
