This study demonstrates a sample preparation method for wool follicles that allows for clear keratin labeling and ultrastructural preservation in microscopy, reducing common artefacts from conventional fixation techniques.

This case report and literature review concluded that using the follicular unit extraction technique for hair transplants in androgenetic alopecia patients yields satisfactory aesthetic results and high patient satisfaction over 12 months.

This study reviewed the use of microinfusion of microparticles (MMP®) with methotrexate for treating alopecia frontal fibrosante and found it reduced symptoms associated with the condition and improved specific scalp measurements, showing that the technique is safe and well-tolerated.

This study reports that using laser microdissection to isolate telogen hair follicles significantly improves DNA extraction efficiency for STR typing, reducing contamination from keratin.

This study found that dermoscopy combined with calcium fluorescent white staining effectively aided in the early diagnosis and treatment evaluation of tinea capitis by highlighting specific hair changes and fluorescent patterns associated with different dermatophyte infections in a sample of 20 patients.

This study identified key dermoscopic features in folliculotropic mycosis fungoides patients, showing that dilation of follicular openings and spiky follicular keratosis are specific indicators of follicular involvement, potentially aiding in diagnosis, classification, and treatment decisions.

This study found that multiphoton microscopy effectively visualizes the microstructure of in vivo mouse skin, offering a clear view of various skin layers and components like corneocytes and collagen fibers.

This article describes a new T-Fast multi-implanter that potentially reduces operating costs and surgical time by implanting two follicular unit excision grafts simultaneously, which may encourage clinics to adopt this technique.

This study suggests that topically applied fusidic acid may penetrate only the most superficial layers of canine skin but can reach sufficient concentrations to potentially treat infections caused by pathogenic staphylococci.

In this case report, a female patient with frontal fibrosing alopecia and lichen scleroatrophicus vulvae experienced excellent results from hair microtransplants combined with finasteride and topical minoxidil, maintained over six years.

In this study, researchers developed a microfluidics-based method to generate hair follicle germs on a large scale for potential hair regeneration therapies, demonstrating efficient hair follicle regeneration following transplantation into mice.

This study found that the newly developed microarray patches for intradermal delivery of finasteride showed high drug content and significantly improved skin deposition compared to existing methods.

This study found that Demodex mites may transport Microsporum canis spores on human skin, suggesting a potential role in microbial movement despite typically being considered harmless.

This review details the Follicular Unit Extraction technique for hair restoration, highlighting its advantages over traditional strip surgery, but includes no new clinical findings.

In this case study, a 70-year-old woman with generalized favus caused by Trichophyton schoenleinii achieved a clinical and mycological cure after a one-month terbinafine treatment.

This review assessed trichoscopic findings in folliculotropic mycosis fungoides of the scalp, reporting features like milky-red globules and distinct vascular patterns, but noted the predominance of small studies and the need for larger research to validate trichoscopy's diagnostic utility for this condition.

This study reported that combining microdialysis and selective follicular closure with varnish significantly reduces caffeine penetration through hair follicles in an ex vivo porcine ear skin model.

A 64-year-old man had a rare skin cancer near his ear, unresponsive to antibiotics, with specific skin and hair follicle changes.

This literature review reports that micro-needle radiofrequency is increasingly recognized in aesthetic medicine as a safe, effective treatment for various skin conditions, but further research is needed to optimize treatment parameters for the best outcomes.

In this case study of a 64-year-old woman with kerion celsi caused by Microsporum canis, treatment with the oral antifungal fosravuconazole resulted in symptom resolution without scarring or side effects over 12 weeks, suggesting its potential effectiveness for various dermatomycoses.

This study used fibre optic confocal imaging to visualize subsurface structures in live mouse skin, revealing cellular details and blood vessel networks that dynamic events could be studied in vivo.

This study found that using a microscope can effectively distinguish between human and animal hair based on microscopic characteristics, making it a critical tool in forensic investigations.

This case report describes a 50-year-old man with folliculotropic mycosis fungoides stage IB, noting trichoscopic findings like dilated follicular openings, black dots, and dystrophic hairs, which are less commonly documented in this condition, suggesting trichoscopy could aid in early diagnosis.

This article discusses the increasing use of follicular unit extraction in hair transplant surgery and presents no new research findings.

In this study, radiofrequency microporation significantly improved topical minoxidil delivery and hair regrowth in a mouse model of androgenetic alopecia, with minimal systemic exposure compared to oral administration, suggesting it could be a promising needle-free option for topical therapy.

This study found that certain circulating miRNAs in skin and plasma may serve as potential biomarkers for distinguishing frontal fibrosing alopecia from control cases, highlighting the need for further validation in larger cohorts.

This study found that the film-trigger applicator system enhanced drug delivery efficiency and skin penetration of dissolving microneedles compared to traditional patch systems in both lab and animal models.

This study found that methylene blue staining helped identify late catagen and telogen hair follicles more accurately than unstained follicles, which suggests that established telogen percentage standards may be overestimated.

In this study, researchers found that dermoscopy revealed specific features in Malassezia folliculitis, such as folliculocentricity and perilesional erythema, which can aid in its identification and potentially distinguish it from acne vulgaris.
