PP405 may help hair growth by activating hair follicle stem cells.

This study observed that frontal fibrosing alopecia predominantly affects postmenopausal women, can be associated with lichen planus, and may lead to progressive hairline recession, though this progression is not consistent in all cases.

Early diagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach are crucial for managing Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia.

This correspondence discusses the diagnostic criteria for frontal fibrosing alopecia but reports no new research findings, agreeing with many previously suggested criteria.

This case report documents the first instance of frontal fibrosing alopecia where lichen planopilaris developed at wig attachment sites, suggesting wigs may trigger the Koebner phenomenon in affected patients.

This study evaluated a new anti-baldness product, IPSTiC patch hair, designed to treat androgenetic alopecia, and reported that it effectively inhibits NO radical and 5α-reductase activity while maintaining safety and stability, suggesting its potential for topical use.

This case report highlights an atypical presentation of favus in an immunocompetent adult, where a psoriasiform plaque over the 'bindi' area was successfully treated with systemic itraconazole, achieving complete resolution without relapse. Simple stains proved essential for diagnosis in this resource-limited setting.

The researchers reported that the facial Psoriasis Log-based Area and Severity Index (fPLASI) more reliably and sensitively captured clinical improvement in facial psoriasis than the existing facial Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (fPASI).

This study found that men with frontal fibrosing alopecia were more likely to have facial papules, androgenetic alopecia, and body hair loss compared to women, with the average patient age being higher than in other series, potentially explaining these differences.

This study introduces an extended approach to the Bonferroni procedure that accounts for correlations among endpoints, aiming to improve test power while maintaining strong control of the family-wise type I error rate in clinical trials.

In this study of a Colombian sample, the researchers found that while sex, alopecia location, and symptoms aligned with global reports, age at presentation, tobacco use, and use of wigs and dyes were different from those noted in other countries.

GFC is more effective than PRP for treating hair loss.

In this case report, the researchers documented a rare instance of plica neuropathica, characterized by matted and twisted hair, occurring alongside diffuse alopecia, marking the first such documented association and emphasizing its diagnostic challenges in identifying causes of alopecia.

In this study, stress hormone CRF was found to inhibit hair growth, suggesting that the HPA axis is functional in human dermal papilla cells and contributes to hair loss under stress conditions.

In this study, a hair tonic containing black fungus extract was shown to have antifungal activity against Malassezia furfur, with the 70% extract concentration providing the strongest effect.

This review discusses applications of light diffraction in healthcare, highlighting its use in LASIK procedures, optogenetics, and measuring hair diameter, but reports no new results.

This study found that follistatin and activin interactions are important for hair follicle development and cycling in mice, suggesting that they may regulate processes involving BMP-2 and its antagonist.

This article summarizes Dr. Alan Jacobs's presentation at the 2016 ISHRS World Congress but reports no new research findings.

This study found a significant discordance between clinical symptoms and dermatoscopic signs with histopathological inflammation in patients with LPP and AFF, affecting diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

This case report describes the first known instance of fibrosing alopecia associated with cutaneous lichen planus, suggesting fibrosing alopecia may be a variant of lichen planopilaris.

This study found that Foxp1, a transcriptional factor, plays a key role in regulating hair follicle stem cell proliferation by modulating oxidative stress and the cell cycle during hair growth phases.

This study found that low-level pulsed wave red light stimulated collagen and ATP production in human fibroblasts with significantly shorter treatment time than continuous wave light, suggesting enhanced consumer compliance for skin treatments.

This study observed two cases of frontal fibrosing alopecia developing on preexisting vitiligo, suggesting a potential causal link between the two conditions.

This study found that local injections of fetal tissue mesenchymal stromal cells in mice significantly improved healing and hair follicle density after high-dose radiation-induced skin damage.

Finasteride may help treat frontal fibrosing alopecia, but more research is needed.

This review discusses the unique clinical features, challenges in diagnosis, and treatment protocols of frontal fibrosing alopecia in men, noting the overlap with other types of alopecia and the need for further studies.

This study found that the PP2A-B55α regulatory subunit is crucial for ectodermal development in mice, with knockout embryos displaying severe neural and epidermal defects and failing to survive to birth.

This study observed that using serial sectioning and d-PAS staining improved detection of Malassezia folliculitis, notably in lesions on the trunks of male patients.
