This case report describes a 54-year-old woman with familial dyskeratotic comedones who experienced slight improvement in her skin lesions after three months of treatment with topical retinoids and urea cream.

This study found that men with frontal fibrosing alopecia exhibited more frequent facial papules, androgenetic alopecia, and body hair loss compared to women with the condition, and were generally older.

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

This study demonstrated that human hair follicle stem cells can be efficiently differentiated into endothelial-like cells using VEGF and bFGF, suggesting their potential as a novel cell source for vascular tissue engineering.

This study found no evidence that HDGF expression transforms melanocytes into tumors in a mouse model, although it may play a role in cell differentiation and tumor progression.

This review discusses genetic mutations associated with Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome and reports no clinical results; the authors emphasize the importance of cardiovascular monitoring in management.

This case report describes a patient with frontal fibrosing alopecia experiencing significant hair regrowth and reversal of cutaneous atrophy after treatment with the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride.

This case study documented a 36-year-old woman with postpartum-onset frontal fibrosing alopecia who showed significant improvement in hair regrowth after early combination therapy with dutasteride, tofacitinib, and intralesional triamcinolone acetonide, suggesting potential benefits of multimodal treatment in this typically irreversible condition.

This study found that eyelash loss, facial papules, and body hair involvement were linked to severe frontal fibrosing alopecia, and antiandrogens were the most effective treatment.

This study reports a novel missense mutation in the HR gene in a 68-year-old Hungarian woman with alopecia universalis and limb deformities, suggesting a need for further research on its role in these conditions.

This review highlights available treatments for frontal fibrosing alopecia, noting that 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, intralesional steroids, and hydroxychloroquine currently have the most evidence supporting their use, while other treatments show variable results and require further study.

This report from the UK reviews the literature on post-menopausal frontal fibrosing alopecia and highlights its under-recognition and distinctive characteristics compared to lichen planopilaris, but does not provide new results.

Certain genetic factors may contribute to frontal fibrosing alopecia in Brazil.

This study observed that in Mexico, Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia predominantly affects postmenopausal women, with an increased incidence in recent years, and highlights the challenge of early diagnosis to prevent irreversible hair loss.

Early diagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach are crucial for managing Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia.

In this study, researchers found that WNT activation influenced FGF expression in human scalp-derived fibroblasts, with mouse model results showing FGF9 increased hair follicle number and diameter, while FGF7 reduced diameter.

This review discusses hair follicle organoids as emerging models for studying hair biology and disorders, emphasizing their promise for bridging basic research and clinical applications, but reports no new results.

Frontal fibrosing alopecia can affect African men and may be underdiagnosed.

This study reports that gastrointestinal problems, such as intractable diarrhea and enterocolitis, can dominate the clinical course of patients with Hoyeraal-Hreidarsson syndrome and may occur before hematological and immunological symptoms.

FPHL affects hair density and diameter, causing visible hair loss in older women.

This case report highlights the potential for laser hair reduction treatments to trigger Fox-Fordyce disease, a chronic skin disorder, and underscores the need for awareness and management strategies among patients and clinicians.

This study suggests that infrared thermography may be a useful noninvasive tool for diagnosing active phases of frontal fibrosing alopecia when combined with dermoscopy.

This study found that the mutant hairless rhino bald protein in mice interacts with the vitamin D receptor but cannot repress its transactivation and shows abnormal cellular localization.

In this study, researchers found that the human hair follicle microbiota vary by anatomical compartment and donor age, with specific microbes like S. epidermidis potentially influencing hair follicle functions, which suggests new avenues for therapeutic targeting.

This article discusses the authors' concerns over the misinterpretation of studies linking smoking and frontal fibrosing alopecia, clarifying that neither study suggests smoking is protective against the condition.

This study found that hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells improved liver function and pathology in a mouse model of liver cirrhosis, potentially by inhibiting the TGF-β/Smad pathway and reducing hepatic stellate cell activation.

This study suggests that Myelin Protein Zero-like 3 plays a crucial role in hair follicle cycling by regulating anagen and catagen phases, mediated through mitochondrial signaling mechanisms in both human and murine hair follicles.

This study suggests that fibroblast growth factors FGF-4, FGF-8, and FGF-9 may play redundant roles as signals in epithelial-mesenchymal interactions during multiple stages of tooth development in mice.

This review discusses female pattern hair loss, emphasizing its complex causes and the limited treatment options available, and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that high frequency use of sunscreen is associated with frontal fibrosing alopecia among women attending a specialist hair clinic in Australia.
