This review explores clinical studies on low-level laser therapy (LLLT) for alopecia and suggests it may benefit patients unresponsive to conventional treatments, but larger studies are needed to confirm efficacy.

This study found that patients with lupus nephritis experience a greater overall burden than those with systemic lupus erythematosus without nephritis, particularly impacting areas such as family planning, professional life, disease features, medication usage, and quality of life.

This study found that freezing nitrogen ethanol composite (FNEC) caused less cryoablative damage to surrounding normal tissue than liquid nitrogen in a mouse model of human bone xenograft transplantation.

This case report highlights a misdiagnosis of traction alopecia that progressed to lichen planopilaris in a patient of color, emphasizing the need to consider LPP in similar cases due to differing treatments.

This case study describes a 33-year-old woman with chronic myelogenous leukemia who developed nonscarring alopecia after starting nilotinib therapy, linked to perifollicular inflammation.

This study successfully created a mouse model with conditional knockout of the p75 neurotrophin receptor gene in epidermis cells, with no significant changes in skin histomorphology observed.

In this study, intralesional platelet-rich plasma was found to be a beneficial and safe treatment option for oral lichen planus, an inflammatory disease affecting the oral mucosa.

This study suggests that tetracycline may be more effective for treating lichen planopilaris than previously thought, alongside topical high-potency and intralesional corticosteroids.

This review discusses partial longitudinal-follicular unit transplantation (PL-FUT) for hair loss and notes its potential to multiply hair follicles while preserving donor areas, but reports no new clinical results.

This study reported that using plain bottles instead of commercial kits for extracting platelet-rich plasma may be an effective method for treating hair loss.

In this study, petroleum ether extracts of Phyllanthus niruri promoted hair regrowth in testosterone-induced alopecia in rats by inhibiting the 5α-reductase enzyme.

This study found that lash ptosis was more common and severe in eyes with blepharoptosis, especially congenital, compared to normal eyes.

In this pilot study, researchers observed a correlation between clinical severity and histologic severity of lichen planopilaris, suggesting that an immunohistochemical scoring system could aid in grading disease activity.

This study identified PTEN as a key regulator in non-healing venous leg ulcers, suppressing immune responses and lymphangiogenesis, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target for promoting VLU healing.

The project developed and tested a method using plasma rich platelets to treat hair loss.

In this study, the researchers compared the pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of dihydroartemisinin in nanostructured lipid carriers versus in solution, finding longer mean residence times and variable organ accumulation with the nanostructured lipid carriers.

This study reports the first identification of the deleterious NIPAL 4 variant, associated with autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis, in an American Bully and describes its clinical management and follow-up.

Phospholipid-coated nanoparticles penetrate hair follicles better than others, especially in pig ears.

This research reports a new autosomal recessive mutation in mice, 'lanceolate hair', causing generalized alopecia and hair shaft abnormalities, which may serve as a model for Netherton's syndrome in humans.

Bhamrung-Lohit may help with inflammation and oxidation.

This review discusses the use of platelet lysate and its growth factors in treating diseases and regenerative medicine but reports no new clinical findings.

This clinical case report presents photographs of a patient with Netherton syndrome, highlighting severe inflammatory vegetative lesions on the pubic area and umbilicus.

This study observed that disrupting the Pnkp gene in adult mice resulted in a premature aging-like phenotype, suggesting PNKP's vital role in maintaining normal growth and survival of certain progenitor cell populations.

This report describes a rare case of scarring alopecia, diagnosed as lichen planopilaris (LPP), affecting solely the limbs, highlighting the necessity for thorough evaluation of LPP beyond the scalp.

This case report highlights that early signs like pili torti may precede lichen planopilaris in some patients, emphasizing the importance of timely intervention to prevent permanent hair loss.

This study presents a computational approach, CATNIP, which repurposes drugs using only their biological and chemical information, predicting new uses like adrenergic uptake inhibitors for Parkinson's and vandetanib for Type 2 Diabetes.

This study found that integrating machine learning enhances the predictive accuracy of forensic DNA phenotyping from low template DNA, achieving high accuracy for traits like eye color, although challenges remain for admixed populations and complex traits.

This review discusses lichen planopilaris in children and highlights its rarity, potential for misdiagnosis, and need for suspicion in atypical or treatment-resistant alopecia cases, but reports no new results.

In a study reviewing 291 patients with lichen planopilaris, findings revealed that women were more commonly affected than men, cyclosporine and methotrexate were most effective in achieving remission, and 5-alpha reductase inhibitors and systemic retinoids were particularly beneficial for frontal fibrosing alopecia.

In this study, induction nab-paclitaxel plus cisplatin, combined with nimotuzumab and IMRT, followed by S-1 adjuvant chemotherapy, showed excellent survival benefits with tolerable toxicities for stage N3 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients.
