In this study, researchers found that a low-cost USB dermoscope can effectively detect microscopic hair changes associated with early female pattern hair loss, making it a useful tool for diagnosis even without expensive equipment or programs.

This report describes how ultraviolet-induced fluorescence dermoscopy helped accurately diagnose scalp disorders, specifically alopecia areata and tinea capitis, in pediatric patients.

This review discusses the current procedure for follicular unit hair transplantation, emphasizing its natural and reproducible results, but does not report new clinical findings.

This article presents modifications to the microfollicular hair transplant process, reporting innovations at each step to enhance results based on over 1000 cases at the authors' center.

This study observed that dermatophytosis, primarily caused by fungi like M. canis, is the most common fungal skin infection in cats, often resolving spontaneously except in young or immunocompromised animals.

This study found distinct differences in UEA I glycoprotein binding on follicular keratinocytes between anagen and telogen hair follicles, with staining associated with follicle length and regrowth.

In this case study, a 3-year-old with tinea capitis achieved complete resolution following treatment, highlighting hair salons as potential indirect transmission sites for infection and emphasizing trichoscopy's diagnostic value when traditional signs like Wood’s lamp fluorescence are missing.

This study found that microencapsulated dermal papilla cells implanted into mice ears led to the successful regeneration of hair follicles, with APA microencapsulations of 400µm diameter allowing effective nutrient exchange.

This study successfully used noninvasive bioluminescence imaging to monitor hair generation in vivo after transplanting hair follicle stem cells in mice.

This case report highlights the diagnosis of folliculotropic mycosis fungoides in a 15-year-old boy with atypical skin and hair follicle changes, a rare occurrence in pediatric patients.

This review highlights the light microscopic features of various infectious and non-infectious hair conditions and reports no new clinical results.

In this study, Wood's lamp effectively identified tinea capitis among pediatric patients with alopecia, particularly when contact with animals was a factor, supporting its diagnostic use in primary healthcare settings.

In this study, the authors emphasize the importance of not ignoring the partial presence of comma or harpin hairs and black spots when identifying early lesions of tinea capitis, which may initially be overlooked due to their small size.

Hair malformations may occur due to timing issues in hair development.

A woman with frontal fibrosing alopecia experienced unusual hair growth after using a specific topical lotion.

In this case report, an 80-year-old male with severe sycosis barbae and no animal contact was successfully treated with oral terbinafine after diagnostic sequencing identified Trichophyton verrucosum as the infecting species.

This study reported a case of equine ringworm infection in a 2-year-old horse caused by Nannizzia gypsea, confirmed through culture and SYBR-Green real-time PCR techniques, demonstrating that qPCR allows specific detection of dermatophytes more rapidly than conventional methods.

This essay reviews the potential of protein microarrays in proteomics and diagnostics, highlighting no new clinical results but emphasizing the need for advanced high-quality proteins and antibodies.

In this retrospective study, oral minoxidil was found to improve the density of the frontotemporal hairline in 45.1% of patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, with some also experiencing eyebrow and eyelash growth; however, adverse effects such as hypertrichosis were noted in 33.6% of the participants.

This study found that two microRNAs, oar-miR-23b and oar-miR-133, inhibit the development of hair follicles in superfine wool sheep by targeting genes involved in key signaling pathways, suggesting their potential use as molecular markers for breeding fine wool sheep.

This study found that micro-needling combined with topical 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) was more effective in treating vitiligo patches than topical tacrolimus, with significant improvement observed in six patients, although it caused mild side effects like erythema and irritation.

The study reported that combining the Follicular Closing Technique with the Franz diffusion cell is a valuable method for investigating follicular caffeine penetration in vitro, though kinetics differ from in vivo results.

This study reported that X-ray microscopy provides more intact images of hair's internal structure compared to transmission electron microscopy, particularly for observing fine details like cuticle coarsening and cortex cracks.

This study used atomic force microscopy to image surface structures of human epidermal melanocytes, hair follicle amelanotic melanocytes, and mouse melanoma cells, revealing differences in branch structure and granule distribution.

This study found that olorofim demonstrated potent in vitro and in vivo antifungal activity against dermatophytes, resolving skin lesions in a guinea pig model similar to clotrimazole, suggesting it may be a promising treatment for dermatophytosis.

This study developed microfluidic-assisted GelMA-MSC/HAD-EPC microspheres that efficiently generated hair follicles in nude mice, suggesting a promising strategy for advancing hair-regenerative medicine.

PEVs effectively deliver minoxidil through skin.

This study found that Mueller Matrix microscopy can accurately identify, detect, and evaluate hair follicles in mouse skin tissue, suggesting its potential for skin structure research and dermatological applications.
