This article discusses primary cicatricial alopecias, a group of rare inflammatory scalp disorders resulting in permanent hair loss, and reports no new findings.

This review explores new theories, diagnostic tools, and management strategies for primary cicatricial alopecia but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that discoid lupus erythematous was the most common type of primary cicatricial alopecia, predominantly affecting middle-aged women.

This study concluded that incorporating the percentage of free PSA and urinary markers improves the accuracy of determining the need for prostate biopsy.

This review concludes that while many epidemiological studies suggest high alcohol intake is associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer, the evidence may be affected by confounding factors such as diet and lifestyle.

This article reviews the challenges of treating frontal fibrosing alopecia and the potential role of hair transplantation, noting the lack of effective medical treatments and uncertainty surrounding transplant outcomes.

This study developed solid lipid nanoparticles for delivering a shRNA-encoding plasmid that effectively reduced 5α-reductase enzyme levels in vitro without significant cytotoxicity, suggesting potential therapeutic applications.

This study indicates potential differences in the hair spectra of individuals with mood disorders, suggesting a promising, yet preliminary, method for noninvasive prediagnosis.

This study found that certain molecular quantum descriptors can be directly correlated with the biological activity of benzo[c]quinolizin-3-ones, potentially aiding in the identification and design of active compounds.

This article details the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment options for an Aboriginal Canadian male with perifolliculitis capitis abscedens et suffodiens, without reporting new study results.

This study discusses the effects of incorporating various amino acids in hair care products, noting improvements in hair surface properties and color retention when integrated with conditioners.

This review discusses the challenges in diagnosing primary cicatricial alopecias and explores how improved communication and digital pathology could enhance diagnosis, but it reports no new clinical results.

The researchers reported that protocatechuic acid reduced melanin synthesis and enhanced antioxidant activity in cultured human hair follicle melanocytes, indicating potential for skin whitening applications.

In this observational study, dermoscopy was found to be a useful tool in diagnosing lichen planopilaris among patients with primary cicatricial alopecia.

This study suggests that male pattern baldness—especially moderate to severe—is an independent risk factor for prostate cancer and high-grade disease in men undergoing prostate biopsy.

Some people with primary cicatricial alopecia also have inflammatory bowel disease, suggesting a possible connection.

Treating primary cicatricial alopecia is difficult and requires evidence-based methods.

In this study, Lespedeza bicolor extract was found to enhance dermal papilla cell proliferation and extend the anagen phase in mice, suggesting its potential as a treatment for alopecia.

This study suggests that 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors may reduce the rate of clinical progression in men with low-risk prostate cancer who choose active surveillance.

In this study, researchers observed that a hidden scalp condition could contribute to acne keloidalis nuchae and potentially other primary cicatricial alopecias, impacting their diagnosis and treatment.

This article discusses primary cicatricial alopecia, highlighting the need for early and precise diagnosis to effectively manage and treat these complex inflammatory hair disorders, but presents no new clinical results.

This review discusses primary cicatricial alopecias, detailing their classification, pathogenesis, clinical features, histopathologic findings, and treatment, without reporting new experimental results.

This study found a significant association between baldness patterns, particularly vertex and early-onset baldness, and an increased risk of prostate cancer.

In this study, long-term low-dose finasteride use in men with alopecia was associated with a significant reduction in the diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer, although further research is needed to understand the mechanisms and long-term effects.

In this study, cicatricial alopecias were classified by inflammatory cell type and the researchers highlighted that primary cicatricial alopecia's exact causes remain unknown, accounting for 6% of all hair diseases despite its unclear prevalence.

This study suggests that autologous platelet concentrates may improve inflammatory activity, disease control, and hair regrowth in primary cicatricial alopecia, but the evidence is limited by small sample sizes and study quality.

This review found that hair transplantation in patients with primary cicatricial alopecias is a viable option when the disease is stable, with outcomes varying significantly by subtype.

This study found that patients with primary cicatricial alopecia are at higher risk of developing various comorbidities, including systemic lupus erythematosus, hypothyroidism, and dermatological conditions, compared to controls.

Specific immune cells and pathways contribute to hair follicle inflammation and hair loss, suggesting potential treatments for lichen planopilaris.

In this pilot study, participants with lymphocytic primary cicatricial alopecia who applied 6% topical gabapentin solution twice daily for 12 weeks experienced significant symptom reduction, though there was no noticeable change in nerve fibre density or neuropeptide expression.
