This correspondence discusses the diagnostic criteria for frontal fibrosing alopecia but reports no new research findings, agreeing with many previously suggested criteria.

This study found that among Filipino women, a modified Ferriman-Gallwey score of 7 or above indicates hirsutism and is significantly associated with elevated calculated free testosterone.

This piece presents no new research findings; it briefly mentions opinions on Female Pattern Hair Loss and the importance of increasing awareness.

This case report presents unique histopathological findings in skin lesions of hereditary mucoepithelial dysplasia that have not been previously documented.

This study found that infrared thermography might be a useful non-invasive tool to help diagnose frontal fibrosing alopecia by identifying active phases of the disease.

This study examined the application of new clinical guidelines for diagnosing frontal fibrosing alopecia in 18 men, highlighting that current diagnostic criteria may often overlook early beard involvement and sideburn recession.

In this study, to address long wait times for alopecia specialists, researchers implemented shared medical appointments for women with female pattern hair loss, modeled on formats previously used for conditions like acne and vitiligo.

In this retrospective study, researchers at a Spanish hospital found that the severity of frontal fibrosing alopecia, primarily affecting postmenopausal women, was correlated with the duration of the disease, though inflammatory signs were not linked with its progression.

This study found that the absence of Hes1 in hair follicles delays secondary hair germ activation and shortens the anagen phase, impacting HFSC self-renewal and long-term hair regeneration.

This review discusses frontal fibrosing alopecia in males and reports no new clinical results, indicating a broader demographic affected by this inflammatory disorder beyond postmenopausal women.

This study found that both bFGF and herbal extracts significantly induced proliferation in human hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells, suggesting their potential for promoting hair growth.

In this study, HPH-15, a newly synthesized compound, demonstrated potential in reducing skin fibrosis in a mouse model by targeting underlying pathogenic mechanisms and exhibited a good safety profile, warranting further clinical trials for fibrotic skin disorders like systemic sclerosis.

This paper argues that the cycling hair follicle serves as a valuable model for systems biology research, highlighting its potential for translational medicine.

This study observed that using a 1064 nm Nd: YAG laser may stabilize hair loss and promote new growth in some females with frontal fibrosing alopecia, though individual results varied.

This study observed that abnormal hormone levels were associated with lower disease activity in frontal fibrosing alopecia, while thyroid disorders were a common comorbidity among the affected population.

This study found that deleting the Mof gene in mouse skin leads to severe defects in skin cell self-renewal, differentiation, and hair follicle growth, indicating that MOF is crucial for mitochondrial and ciliary gene expression and essential for skin development.

This study found that FGF18 is crucial for regulating hair follicle rest and growth phases, as its absence in mice leads to a shorter resting phase and rapid hair cycling.

In this case report, a 46-year-old woman with familial frontal fibrosis alopecia experienced initial stabilization of hair loss with dutasteride and minoxidil, but artificial hair transplantation led to implant folliculitis, requiring removal of the fibers.

This study demonstrated that FGF5s acts as an inhibitor of FGF5 in regulating hair growth cycles in cashmere goat dermal papilla cells.

This case report highlights the diagnostic challenges of distinguishing folliculotropic mycosis fungoides from alopecia areata and lichen planopilaris, emphasizing the importance of histopathological evaluation for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

This study demonstrated a method for large-scale preparation of self-sorted hair follicle germs in vitro, which successfully generated hair follicles when transplanted into the skin of nude mice.

This article reviews Frambusia, a skin-contact-spread tropical infection, and stresses improving medical professionals' diagnostic and treatment skills to achieve the WHO's eradication target by 2030, without reporting new results.

This study found that HIF-P4H-2 function in FoxD1-lineage cells is crucial for normal hair follicle development and homeostasis in mice, implicating disrupted HIF, TGF-β, and Notch signaling pathways in associated defects.

This article notes slow progression and spontaneous stabilization in untreated cases of a specific scarring alopecia and reports no new results; the authors call for randomized trials to confirm the treatment's benefit.

This study mapped a spontaneous mouse hair mutation, "hague," to keratin genes on chromosome 15 but found no gene mutations in hague mice.

This study found that when NFIB was removed in adult mouse hair follicle stem cells, it did not affect their maintenance but unexpectedly led to increased proliferation and differentiation of nearby melanocyte stem cells.

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 prospective study observed that low-dose oral minoxidil improved anterior hairline and eyebrow coverage in adult women with frontal fibrosing alopecia and was generally well-tolerated.

This study reports that flaky skin mice exhibit skin and nail features that closely resemble human psoriasis vulgaris, suggesting they may serve as a natural model for this condition.

This case report describes an autoimmune hepatitis patient who achieved remission with mycophenolate mofetil and corticosteroids after intolerance to azathioprine-based therapy.
