Although the findings are promising, the authors concluded it is premature to establish their place in dermatological treatments.

This review discusses the role of cholesterol homeostasis in hair follicle biology and its potential connections to various hair disorders, but it reports no new findings.

This study found that intralesional minoxidil alone has limited efficacy for non-severe patchy alopecia areata, though it may accelerate hair regrowth compared to spontaneous recovery.

This case report describes a 9-month-old male infant with Netherton syndrome, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and treatment initiation for better management of symptoms and prevention of misdiagnosis.
