Finasteride may help treat frontal fibrosing alopecia, but more research is needed.

In this study, microneedle-assisted human basic fibroblast growth factor therapy was reported to significantly improve hair regeneration in both male and female patients with androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, and telogen effluvium, showing greater effectiveness in males.

This study reported significant transcriptomic changes in keratinocyte and immune cell populations in a mouse model with EGFR-deficient epidermis, suggesting possible targets for mitigating adverse skin events in EGFR-targeted cancer therapy.

In this clinical trial, the topical agent AP-FHG0604T significantly increased hair counts and growth rates in women with female pattern hair loss compared to a placebo, though some reported mild local irritation.

Minoxidil topical foam is a better, less irritating treatment for hair loss.

This reprint reviews 14 papers on advances in solid-phase microextraction techniques for bioanalysis, reporting no new results.

This study found that Piedraia hortae invades and damages human hair by slowly degrading keratin in the cortex, which may contribute to the fungus's persistence and the chronic nature of the infection.

In this study, microneedles combined with finasteride nanostructured lipid carriers (FIN-NLC-MNs) were found to enhance skin penetration and specifically target hair follicles, promoting hair growth and gene regulation in androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that chi-miR-30b-5p was more expressed in the telogen phase than in the anagen phase and inhibited dermal papilla cell proliferation by targeting CaMKIIδ.

Finasteride's effectiveness measured by observing hair cortex changes using a cheap and easy method.

This study used electron microscopy to identify a distinct dendritic cell in the human epidermis, similar to the melanocyte, with unique structural features and variable melanin content.

This study observed that combining high-potency steroids with pimecrolimus might effectively stabilize hairline recession in frontal fibrosing alopecia patients.

This study observed mycobacterial infection with M. xenopi in a pet ferret, noting its resistance to doxycycline, and highlighted the potential zoonotic transmission risk associated with such infections.

This article reviews various microscopy techniques and their applications in dermatology but reports no new experimental results.

This study observed that key signaling events controlling hair growth in ferret follicles occur between 0 and 4 days after melatonin implantation, highlighting distinct processes in follicular regeneration and fibre growth.

This study observed that methylene blue staining and zinc iodide-osmium tetroxide techniques effectively revealed anatomical details of intraepidermal nerve fibre endings in the rat's mystacial pad, suggesting their potential role in mechanoreception.

In a mouse model study, researchers developed a methacrylated hyaluronic acid-based hydrogel microneedle patch co-loaded with finasteride and a carbon monoxide-releasing molecule for androgenetic alopecia, which showed better hair regrowth and safety compared to traditional treatments, offering an innovative approach with minimized systemic side effects.

This study found that combining fractional radiofrequency microneedling with 5% topical minoxidil improved hair count and thickness more than minoxidil alone in Chinese men with male pattern hair loss.

This study found that coated microneedles promoted drug release effectively, comparable to marketed minoxidil solutions, with stable performance over 30 days at high temperatures.

This study found that increasing a drug's lipophilicity and adding ethanol to the donor phase can enhance its delivery to the hair follicle, although the precise transport mechanism remains unclear.

This case study describes effective treatment of local alopecia caused by Trichophyton schoenleinii in two patients, using griseofulvin and ciclopirox cream, respectively.

This review highlights the critical role of microRNAs in regulating hair follicle biology, significantly impacting wool and cashmere development by modulating gene expression and signaling pathways in sheep and goats.

This case report describes a 69-year-old man diagnosed with folliculotropic mycosis fungoides after initially being treated for folliculitis, highlighting emerging skin lesions despite subsequent photochemotherapy and acitretin treatment.

This case report describes a 46-year-old man who developed folliculotropic mycosis fungoides, a form of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder, following renal transplantation.

In this study, researchers found that massively parallel sequencing of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) can improve information recovery from forensic samples, with successful full region amplification possible from as few as 2,000 mtDNA copies, albeit with variability in heteroplasmy among hair samples from the same donor.

This review discusses advances in understanding the role of Malassezia in seborrhoeic dermatitis and dandruff, highlighting the significance of the hair follicle infundibulum and the action of zinc pyrithione, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers used a 3D in vitro organ culture system to show that rifampicin-loaded lipid nanocapsules can penetrate hair follicles more effectively than free rifampicin, highlighting the potential advantage of nanocarrier-based antibiotic treatments for follicular infections.
