This study reports a case of a 59-year-old female with refractory follicular mucinosis and diffuse scalp alopecia who achieved complete clinical remission following treatment with a combination of topical tacalcitol and photodynamic therapy.

This study identified a shared gene signature in scarring alopecia subtypes, with increased mast cell presence, suggesting similar treatment approaches may be effective across these hair loss disorders.

Some human genetic markers work for genetic studies in pig-tailed and stump-tailed macaques, which can help in their conservation.

This study observed that repeated hair follicle sampling is feasible and reliable for measuring FMR1 mRNA and FMRP in individuals with Fragile X syndrome, supporting its use in longitudinal studies.

In this study, mice lacking the Mcpip1 gene in their myeloid cells did not develop SCC-like tumors but instead showed increased melanocyte activity and hair loss, indicating a distinct role for myeloid Mcpip1 in skin cancer development compared to keratinocyte Mcpip1.

Martin-Perez et al. show that rapamycin's beneficial effects in a mouse model of Leigh syndrome are linked to the downregulation of protein kinase C.

This study reports that biomass activated carbon fibers derived from metaplexis japonica seed hair effectively adsorb methylene blue dye, demonstrating high capacity and rapid adsorption performance.

In this case report, a novel missense mutation c.1360G>C (p.Ala454Pro) in the MBTPS2 gene was identified in a boy with typical IFAP syndrome and severe atopic features, although no phenotype/genotype correlation was established.

This case report describes frontal fibrosing alopecia in a woman with primary biliary cirrhosis and polymyalgia rheumatica, suggesting a possible autoimmune link to this form of hair loss.

This article reviews insights into the pathogenesis of primary cicatricial alopecias, such as lichen planopilaris, provided by emerging technologies, but it does not report new clinical results.

Mycophenolic acid may help hair grow by activating pathways important for hair growth.

This study found that 11% of cutaneous focal mucinosis lesions demonstrated follicular induction, which can mimic basal cell carcinoma histologically and complicate diagnosis.

The study concluded that poly(propylene carbonate maleate) microspheres effectively encapsulated finasteride, achieving a biphasic release with prolonged drug release over 5-6 weeks in vitro.

This study concluded that coat damage in captive rhesus macaques is unlikely caused by parasitic, bacterial, or mycotic infections but may be linked to environmental or behavioral factors affecting hair growth.

This review summarizes how foods with both medicinal and nutritional properties are being examined for their potential role in addressing post-acute COVID-19 syndrome, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that MEGA PROTAC improved the prediction of ternary structures with higher maximum DockQ scores compared to the BOTCP method in 16 out of 22 test cases.

In this study, 4‐MAPC treatment reduced ventral prostate weight in rats primarily through decreased synthetic activity, with testosterone propionate increasing prostate weight and activity at pharmacologic doses.

This study found that systemic mycophenolate mofetil and topical clobetasol were equally effective at reducing lichen planopilaris activity over six months, but satisfaction differed between the treatments.

PMS nanoparticles improve damaged hair by protecting and restoring its surface and color.

In this study, PMC was identified as a promising plant for nourishing hair, with effective hair growth promotion and 5α-reductase inhibition observed in both laboratory and animal studies for androgenetic alopecia treatment.

In this study, researchers discovered that the MafB gene, which is important for macrophage differentiation, shows high expression in the pancreas and is influenced by sex steroids, with varied expression patterns in hamster tissues and during reproductive phases.

This study identified a genetic locus associated with rhabdomyosarcoma susceptibility in mice and found that specific differentiation markers are linked to the regression of basal cell carcinoma.

This study found that the catalytically inactive serine protease CAP1/Prss8 can still induce skin disorders in mice and is subject to inhibition by nexin-1, independent of its catalytic activity.

Mycophenolate mofetil improved skin condition in a man with nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy.

This study found that inhibiting mTORC1 activity with rapamycin significantly increased melanin production and extended hair growth phase in human hair follicles, suggesting potential for managing hair growth and pigmentation disorders.

This study found that the selective PPARγ modulator GMG-43AC may inhibit unwanted hair growth by inducing catagen phase while preserving hair follicle epithelial progenitor cells, suggesting potential in anti-hirsutism therapy.

This report from the UK reviews the literature on post-menopausal frontal fibrosing alopecia and highlights its under-recognition and distinctive characteristics compared to lichen planopilaris, but does not provide new results.

This study reported that the combination of tacrolimus, clobetasol, and minoxidil improved hair measurements and stabilized inflammation in primary cicatricial alopecia patients, with most tolerating the treatment well.

This meeting review discusses recent advances in systemic psoriasis treatments, emphasizing the impact of dimethylfumarate monotherapy on understanding psoriasis and treatment strategies; it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that selective deletion of PIKFyve kinase using a PF4 promoter in mice led to defective platelet lysosome biogenesis and a prothrombotic effect, with unexpected macrophage infiltration in multiple organs.
