This article discusses aspects of evaluating patients with androgenetic alopecia for hair transplantation and reports no clinical results.

This review discusses the role of scalp imaging techniques in trichology for researching drug delivery and toxicology, without presenting new clinical results.

Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM) is a useful tool for studying how drugs interact with skin and diagnosing skin disorders, despite some limitations.

Dermoscopy greatly improves melanoma diagnosis and reduces unneeded surgeries.

This case report describes how real-time PCR rapidly identified Trichophyton mentagrophytes in a dog's dermatophytosis when traditional mycological methods were slower.

This article presents a comprehensive overview of hair microscopy techniques and their diagnostic potential for systemic and cutaneous disorders, emphasizing its usefulness in resource-limited settings and highlighting the underutilization of this non-invasive method due to lack of awareness.

This article discusses the role of clinical observation and microscopic correlation in American dermatology training and reports no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers linked SARS-CoV-2 infection to telogen effluvium in some COVID-19 patients by observing the accumulation of viral proteins in hair follicle cells, which may trigger stress responses and cell death, suggesting hair follicles as a potential target in COVID-19.

This review reports that while deep learning shows promise in diagnosing scalp disorders from images, challenges remain with data quality and model interpretability, suggesting that integrating explainable AI techniques is crucial for building trust and facilitating clinical adoption.

The digital system for measuring melasma shows promise but needs more development for better accuracy and automation.

This study found that sonography and electron microscopy revealed distinct abnormalities in hair follicle morphology in patients with androgenetic alopecia, which may aid in diagnosing and managing the condition.

This study suggests that the absence of alpha5(IV)/alpha6(IV) chains in certain subepidermal basement membrane spots may relate to interactions with melanocytes in human skin.

In this study, human hair follicles showed varying expression of cholesterol transport proteins during the hair cycle, suggesting a potential role of cholesterol in hair growth and cycling.

This study found that the expression of laminin-511 and -332 was significantly increased in psoriasis skin lesions and may influence keratinocyte proliferation and apoptosis, suggesting a previously overlooked role in the disease's pathogenesis.

This study found that rebonding hair straightening treatments visibly damage the hair cuticle, causing surface erosion and cracks, as shown through Scanning Electron Microscopy analysis.

In this study, XZYFD, a Traditional Chinese Medicine formulation, was found to improve androgenetic alopecia in a testosterone-induced mouse model by promoting hair regrowth, restoring follicular morphology, and modulating androgen metabolism, MAPK signaling, and lipid metabolism pathways, suggesting potential benefits for patients with metabolic dysfunction.

This study found that external application of DGD activates the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, promoting hair follicle anagen phase entry, and is a more effective and safer treatment for androgenetic alopecia in mice compared to oral administration.
