This study found that serum MIF levels were significantly higher in patients with extensive alopecia areata compared to those with mild alopecia areata and healthy individuals.

This study observed that the lower part of vibrissa hair roots in adult Wistar rats receives a richer blood supply and structural protection, compared to the upper part.

This study found that adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells produced more anti-inflammatory and pro-angiogenic cytokines on electrospun scaffolds, which enhanced wound healing and macrophage activity in a rat model.

This study used integrated single-cell chromatin and transcriptomic analyses in developing mouse skin to uncover gene networks involved in skin lineage specification and identified Mef2c+ upper fibroblasts as potential precursors to certain muscle-like structures, with cross-species findings in human skin.

This review discusses the complex nature of frontal fibrosing alopecia, suggesting it is a misnomer and possibly a subset of lichen planopilaris, but reports no new clinical results.

This review article examines the current understanding of frontal fibrosing alopecia, noting its prevalence in different demographics and the roles of genetic and environmental factors in its pathogenesis, while highlighting that treatment approaches remain varied and lack standardization.

This article describes a case of multiple perifollicular fibromas and suggests that cases previously reported as such might actually be instances of Birt‐Hogg‐Dubé syndrome.

In this study, researchers analyzed skin tumors from patients with CYLD cutaneous syndrome and found that loss of CYLD function is linked to changes in cellular signaling pathways, particularly NF-κB signaling, and leads to increased secretion of specific extracellular matrix proteins.

In this study, microporous electrospun scaffolds pre-seeded with dermal fibroblasts accelerated wound healing and improved dermal matrix structure and hair follicle regeneration compared to acellular scaffolds in a rat model.

This study found that macrophages near hair follicles contribute to the activation of skin epithelial stem cells in mice, suggesting a novel role for macrophages in regulating hair growth.

This study found that FM dyes are effective markers for tracing live Merkel cells in in vitro experiments, as they remain visible for at least seven days and highlight cell shape better than quinacrine.

This article discusses the pseudo 'fringe sign' in frontal fibrosing alopecia, highlighting that it is not solely related to traction, and it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that desmosomal cadherin desmoglein 3 loses its rigidity upon Ca2+ removal, regardless of desmosome functional state, suggesting a central role for signaling in hyper-adhesion.

This study found that adipocytes in the interfacial white adipose tissue adjacent to fibrotic lesions in systemic sclerosis show unique phenotypes and contribute to the condition's pathogenesis.

Pili annulati is caused by a protein metabolism disorder affecting hair structure.

This study found that keratin-associated proteins form part of the developing exocuticle and a-layer in hair fiber cuticle cells, while cornified envelope proteins were absent.

In this study, researchers found that the expression of vimentin, desmin, and laminin in rat skin contributes to cell structure and tissue integrity, with varying reactions across different cell types.

This study found that 11% of cutaneous focal mucinosis lesions demonstrated follicular induction, which can mimic basal cell carcinoma histologically and complicate diagnosis.

This article reviews frontal fibrosing alopecia, exploring its characteristics, demographics, and associated conditions, and calls for controlled trials due to an increase in worldwide cases; it reports no new findings.

This article reviews the composition and structure of mammalian hard keratins, focusing on the filamentous and nonfilamentous protein content, and reports no new experimental results.

This article is a letter to the editor about fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution and reports no new research findings.

This review discusses the mechanisms and pathways of FGFR signalling and its roles in development, disorders, and therapeutic targeting, but reports no new clinical results.

This chapter reviews trichoscopic-pathologic correlations in Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia and reports no new clinical results; the authors discuss genetics, clinical patterns, and unusual variants associated with this condition.

This study reviewed 18 postmenopausal women with frontal fibrosing alopecia, noting frontotemporal hairline recession and eyebrow loss, often treated with steroids, triamcinolone, and other medications.

In this study, researchers discovered that fat grafting helps reduce dermal fibrosis in radiation-injured mouse skin by decreasing specific fibroblast subpopulations associated with Fra/c-Jun signaling.

Using synchrotron X-ray imaging, this study mapped the complex innervation of male rat vibrissa follicles, revealing distinct types of myelinated afferent neurons and patterns of axonal organization that may inform sensory processing in the brainstem.

This case report presented a 52-year-old man with cutaneous focal mucinosis, exhibiting rare follicular induction of the epidermis, underscoring the importance of recognizing this association in differential diagnoses.

This study found that fibroblasts from Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy patients with certain genetic mutations overexpress markers of fibrosis, and gene correction techniques reduced fibrogenic molecule expression in cell models, suggesting potential therapeutic applications.

This study found that mouse FLRG protein, a secreted glycoprotein, is expressed in certain tissues and plays a role distinct from follistatin during wound healing, suggesting different functions in vivo.
