This study reports that oral tofacitinib treatment in a patient with refractory lichen planus pigmentosus and frontal fibrosing alopecia resulted in near-complete resolution of hyperpigmentation and cessation of hairline recession over 18 months, and suggests it may be a promising therapy for these challenging conditions.

This study found that mesenchymal cell processes from the dermal papilla contact epithelial hair matrix cells through gaps in the basal lamina during hair matrix cell differentiation in mouse vibrissa follicles.

This study found that immune privilege collapse in the hair follicle bulge and associated immune responses may contribute significantly to the pathogenesis of lichen planopilaris, suggesting a potential autoimmune basis for the disease.

In this study, researchers found that a single oral dose of afoxolaner was safe and effective in treating a severe case of Trixacarus caviae mange in a guinea pig, achieving full remission of clinical signs and mite eradication within 4 weeks without needing repeated treatment.

The study observed that Carthamus tinctorius extract-loaded lipid carriers promoted hair growth in C57BL/6 mice more effectively than minoxidil, although further research on humans is needed for confirmation.

This study reports that trichocyte intermediate filaments from rat vibrissae and human hair follicles may contain a hollow region at their core, suggesting unique structural properties.

FOL-005 peptide may help treat excessive hair growth safely.

In this case report, a female mixed-breed dog was observed with dermatophytosis, presenting with alopecia in the neck and ear, highlighting the zoonotic nature of the infection caused by fungi that can affect both animals and humans.

This study observed that daily selenium sulfide shampoos successfully removed fungal spores hidden beneath the hair cuticle in patients infected with ectothrix Microsporum canis.

This study examined the hair structure of five Muridae species to provide insights into their distinct pelage characteristics.

This case study describes a 9-year-old boy with monilethrix and associated abnormalities, suggesting a new, severe autosomal recessive variant termed "monilethrix syndrome.

This study describes a double embedding technique for preparing tangential sections of hair and wool fibers, recommending specific staining methods for quantitative analysis and demonstrating wool fiber cortical fractions.

This case report describes a patient with eruptive tumor of follicular infundibulum, emphasizing the need for dermatologists to include it in the differential diagnosis of acquired facial hypopigmentation.

This study found that Prosopis farcta is a rich source of phenolic compounds with strong antioxidant activity, suggesting its potential for use in food, beverage, feed, and pharmaceutical applications.

In this article, a rare case of black piedra, a zoonotic hair disease typically found in tropical climates, was documented in Russia due to close contact between an infected and a healthy person, with insights into its epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic methods, and treatment discussed.

This study identified Armillaria gallica and Armillaria cepistipes as the most common symbiotic species with Polyporus umbellatus in China, and reported genetic diversity among their genotypes.

This article comments on Nemet et al.'s study of blepharitis, emphasizing that Demodex folliculorum is a significant factor in its associated morbidity and can be effectively managed with tea tree oil shampoo.

In this study, oral administration of Crataegus pinnatifida extract was associated with hair growth promotion in mice by inducing anagen phase and enhancing cell signaling related to hair follicle development.

In this case report, a female patient with frontal fibrosing alopecia and lichen scleroatrophicus vulvae experienced excellent results from hair microtransplants combined with finasteride and topical minoxidil, maintained over six years.

This study suggests that deep dermatophytosis is a distinct condition occurring in immunocompromised patients, characterized by nodules, an indolent course, and absence of follicular invasion, which resolves completely with systemic antifungal treatment.

This case report describes an 8-year-old boy with impetigenic scabies on his scalp, which responded well to treatment with topical permethrin, oral antihistamines, and antibiotics.

This study found that a novel peptide, FOL-005, derived from osteopontin, significantly inhibited hair growth in human hair follicles both ex vivo and in vivo, suggesting potential as a treatment for unwanted hair growth.

This study found no significant differences in hair growth between two formulas of hair tonic from meniran extract, one with a menthol enhancer, despite variations in hair length and weight measurements.

This case report details the diagnosis of monilethrix in a 4-year-old boy, characterized by brittle hair and specific dermoscopic findings, and highlights the condition's hereditary nature and management through avoiding mechanical hair damage.
