This review discusses the complex nature of frontal fibrosing alopecia, suggesting it is a misnomer and possibly a subset of lichen planopilaris, but reports no new clinical results.

This report describes a Sapajus nigritus investigated for multiparasitism after rescue from illegal home possession, highlighting public health and biodiversity conservation concerns related to human-primate proximity.

In this study, a patient with lichen planopillaris experienced complete resolution of itching and hair shedding following treatment with a new platelet-rich plasma regimen, marking the first reported success in this context.

This study found that a combination of Ziziphus lotus, Linum usitatissimum, and Opuntia ficus-indica extracts may reduce porosity and improve surface condition in bleached hair when used as a conditioner.

In a study conducted on a beef-producing farm, "Deltsid 7.5" was found to be the most effective treatment for psoroptic scab in cattle, eradicating acarian phases and restoring skin and hair by 28 days, outperforming macrocyclic lactone treatments.

In this study, trichostasis spinulosa was observed in 51 patients with lesions on the nose, where some follicles contained up to 86 hairs each, possibly influenced by endocrine factors and actinic rays.

This report on two Indian male siblings with monilethrix highlights trichoscopy's role in diagnosing this condition, which can be complicated by early-onset androgenetic alopecia.

This case study reported a rare occurrence of lepromatous leprosy with Lucio phenomenon in a 50-year-old Indonesian living in Malaysia, highlighting the necessity for primary care practitioners, even in non-endemic areas, to recognize this serious leprosy reaction to prevent complications and transmission.

This study found that the LEF-1 binding site acts as an enhancer element for the wool keratin intermediate filament gene promoter in hair follicle cortex, with specificity regulated by additional factors.

This study reports that progressive frontal fibrosing alopecia, a distinct and gradually stabilizing form of lichen planopilaris affecting elderly women and often involving eyebrow hair loss, lacks effective treatments.

This study reports on a unique clinical presentation of folliculotropic mycosis fungoides in a 60-year-old man, highlighting complexities in diagnosis due to dense histiocytic infiltration, which led to xanthoma formation before treatment, and obscured lymphomatous features.

This study documented a case of Dipylidium caninum infection in a 4-month-old female dog, effectively treated with a deworming medication, resulting in significant improvement and no worms detected after five days. Routine deworming and maintaining hygienic conditions are recommended to prevent reinfection and transmission.

In this murine study, researchers found that topical treatment with Philippine stingless bee propolis increased folliculogenesis, epidermal thickness, and melanogenesis, but not hair length, potentially supporting hair follicle regeneration and melanocyte function in chemotherapy-induced alopecia models.

In this study, researchers identified the lncRNA MSTRG.14227.1 in cashmere goats and found it inhibits the morphogenesis of secondary hair follicles by interacting with the chi-miR-433/ADAMTS3 signaling axis, affecting cashmere yield and quality.

This study identified a new Demodex species causing demodicosis in a zoo koala, successfully treated with daily oral ivermectin.

This chapter reviews trichoscopic features of primary cicatricial alopecias, particularly lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia, and reports no new results.

This case report describes a 66-year-old man with frontal fibrosing alopecia, a rare lichen planopilaris variant, presenting with scarring alopecia at the hairline and extensive body hair loss.

This study found that Fructus Ligustri Lucidi water extract significantly increased proliferation in human hair dermal papilla cells, potentially promoting hair growth by activating ERK and Akt pathways.

This study describes unique anatomical characteristics of the skin and hair structures in the silver marmoset, including features such as thin epidermis, specialized nerve end-organs, and distinctive gland compositions.

This study found that loss of the folliculin protein delays transferrin receptor recycling, leading to iron deficiency and suggesting a role in the mechanisms of Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome.

This study observed that cathepsin L and transglutaminase 3 colocalize in the human hair bulb and nail matrix, suggesting their involvement in terminal differentiation within these epidermal appendages.

In this study, researchers identified elongated corkscrew hairs as a new trichoscopic pattern in immunosuppressed adults with chronic endothrix tinea capitis, which may help in earlier diagnosis and targeted mycological investigation.

This study found that hair transplantation is feasible in patients with lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia, but outcomes are generally less favorable compared to other causes and these diseases may also develop after the procedure.

This study found that Mitracarpus hirtus extracts showed potential antifungal activity against Tinea capitis in vitro, with ethylacetate extracts demonstrating the highest inhibitory effects.

This study found that mechanical stress activates a WISP-1/Hedgehog signaling axis that contributes to ligamentum flavum hypertrophy and fibrosis, identifying Hedgehog signaling as a potential therapeutic target.

This study examined extracts from the heartwood of Kouyousan trees for anti-termite activity against Japanese termites. The researchers reported that cedrol showed strong anti-termite effects, with feeding deterrent activity at low concentrations and lethal effects at high concentrations, while isoabienol mainly contributed to feeding deterrence.

This study successfully developed a method to measure four flavonoids from Platycladus orientalis leaves in rat plasma, which was used in a pharmacokinetic study on healthy rats.

This study found that the Abyssinian and Sphynx breeds have significantly higher felinine:creatinine ratios in their urine compared to several longhaired cat breeds, suggesting hair growth may influence felinine production.

This study reports that flaky skin mice exhibit skin and nail features that closely resemble human psoriasis vulgaris, suggesting they may serve as a natural model for this condition.
