Lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia are likely the same disease with different clinical appearances.

This study tested the acute toxicity of Ficus platyphylla methanol leaf extract in Wistar rats and found no mortality or significant liver enzyme changes at doses up to 5000 mg/kg, suggesting a high margin of acute safety and supporting its traditional use under short-term exposure.

This study suggests that linalool, a common allergen in personal care products, may contribute to frontal fibrosing alopecia pathogenesis by triggering immune responses and depleting hair follicle stem cells, especially in sensitized individuals.

This study found that Peperomia pellucida, a plant traditionally consumed in some countries, contains various antioxidants and extends lifespan under oxidative stress in Drosophila, with no observed toxicity in mice, supporting its potential safety and use in foods and pharmaceuticals.

This study found that Limosilactobacillus reuteri NCHBL-005, derived from honeybees, may promote hair growth via a novel non-androgenic mechanism involving the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, as it increased hair follicle size and number in mice and influenced related gene expression in human follicle cells.

In this study, the aqueous extract from Phthirusa pyrifolia leaves significantly decreased testosterone levels in male Wistar rats without causing liver or kidney damage, suggesting potential effects on libido and reproduction.

This study examined vicuña skin and hair follicle structures, finding a high density of secondary hairs in fleece areas compared to belly and legs, and identified various types of cutaneous glands potentially important for chemical communication.

This study found that 88.89% of examined domestic and stray cats in Mymensingh district, Bangladesh, were infested with arthropods, notably Ctenocephalides felis felis, with higher prevalence in females and in summer for certain infections.

This study found that adding menthol to Phyllanthus niruri ethanol extract gel enhanced hair growth and thickness in rats compared to the gel without menthol.

Frontal fibrosing alopecia can occur with lichen planus pigmentosus, needing careful diagnosis and treatment.

In a depilation mouse model, this study found that Limosilactobacillus fermentum MF10 promoted hair growth and increased follicle size by activating skin Wnt/β-catenin signaling and modulating gut microbiota, with effects comparable to the positive control finasteride.

This study found that adding menthol to Phyllanthus niruri ethanol extract gel enhanced hair growth and thickness in rats.

This study identified compound heterozygous mutations, c.1101del and c.736 T > A, in the LIPH gene responsible for causing autosomal recessive woolly hair in a child, with c.1101del being a novel frameshift mutation.

This study found that frontal fibrosing alopecia and lichen planopilaris have similar histopathological features, but FFA exhibits more prominent apoptosis and less inflammation with spared interfollicular epidermis.

This case report describes a rare occurrence of lichen planopilaris on the face in a 45-year-old man, contributing to the limited existing cases in the literature.

This study found that the Florida worm lizard has lost certain genes associated with claw development, which are present in other lizard species with claws, suggesting a link between the evolution of their limbless body and the loss of claw-related genes.

Capitate trichomes have more endoplasmic reticulum and vacuoles, while peltate trichomes have more plastids and larger subcuticular spaces.

In this case report, folliculitis decalvans with frontal fibrosing alopecia was observed in a patient with a dark phototype, highlighting the phenotypic spectrum of folliculitis decalvans and lichen planopilaris.

This study found that Nephelium lappaceum extract restored hair growth more effectively than finasteride in mice with testosterone-inhibited hair growth, suggesting its potential as a nutraceutical for hair growth.

This study aimed to assess pruritus in lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia, analyzing its correlation with dermoscopic features, but it reports no specific clinical results.

This study found that human hair shows more susceptibility to perforation by Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Trichophyton verrucosum compared to animal hair, with black human hair serving as a reliable diagnostic tool for differentiation between the two species.

Lustre mutant sheep have normal hair structure and proteins but differ in felting properties.

This case study reports a new variant of chronic dermatophytosis with giant cutaneous horns, suggesting a possible genetic link and highlighting successful treatment with antifungal medications.

This study found that a cream containing 2% Fennel extract reduced hair diameter in idiopathic hirsutism patients more effectively than a cream with 1% Fennel or a placebo.

This case report describes an atypical presentation of lichen planopilaris affecting only facial vellus hair, without scalp involvement, in a 46-year-old man.

This study found that in semi-coarse wool sheep of the Ukrainian Carpathian Mountain breed, changes in microflora and grease composition are linked to increased felting in wool, due to wetter, more alkaline fleece conditions that promote bacterial and mold growth and alter fatty acid balances.

This review discusses the potential of Lansium domesticum as a herbal medicine, summarizing its traditional uses, nutritional value, bioactivities, and related nanoparticles and pharmaceutical formulations, but reports no new experimental results.

In this study, researchers found that Langerhans' cells likely do not play a role in the depigmentation process in C57Bl/Ler-vit.vit mice, as their number was normal during depigmentation and highest afterward.

This study observed that administering 1000 mg/kg of LSFP significantly reduced serum FSH and LH levels and testicular index in male Wistar rats, while lower doses showed no such effect.

This study found that knockout mice lacking intestinal hephaestin are smaller and anemic compared to wild-type, suggesting other mechanisms may compensate for iron absorption.
