This article reviews various dermatophyte infections, particularly tinea capitis, and discusses their clinical presentations, diagnosis, and treatment, but reports no new clinical findings.

This case report describes two instances of white piedra, a fungal hair infection, and notes successful treatment with oral itraconazole and topical ketoconazole in one patient.

This study identified a fungal sulfotransferase enzyme, FgSULT1, from *Fusarium graminearum*, expanding the sulfotransferase superfamily and offering new biocatalytic methods for producing bioactive sulfates.

In a rabbit study, flaxseed oil applied topically significantly increased hair width, while flaxseed ingestion also had a positive effect, but neither method improved hair length or weight.

This study observed that the reproductive phenology of Ficus species in Northern Thailand varied seasonally, with female trees producing the most figs during the rainy season, while male trees' fig production peaked earlier.

Fermented Liriope platyphylla helps hair grow in mice with hair loss.

This case report discusses a rare instance of pseudolymphomatous folliculitis in a 19-year-old man, highlighting the challenge in diagnosing PLF due to its low clinical suspicion index and variable initial clinical diagnoses.

This study reviewed 40 patients with scalp symptoms and identified a new variant of diffuse lichen planopilaris in 20 individuals, suggesting these conditions should be considered in similar cases.

This study found that in mice, Bacillus anthracis infections destroy hair follicles by progressing inward from the surface and clear when inflammatory cells disperse the bacteria after 3-4 days.

This report describes two scalp lichen simplex chronicus cases with hair loss and intense itching, noting unique dermoscopic and histopathological features.

This study suggests that the GPX-PDE1 and GPX-PDE2 genes in white lupin enhance root hair development and contribute to Pi limitation acclimation by facilitating glycerophosphodiester degradation.

This study revealed distinct cellular and transcriptomic differences among various subtypes of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, particularly highlighting characteristics unique to folliculotropic mycosis fungoides.

This study used atomic force microscopy to identify significant morphological differences in hair from patients with lichen planopilaris compared to healthy controls, noting more scratches, uneven edges, and pitted scales in affected hair, which may aid future research on the condition.

This study reported that C. procera leaf extracts showed antifungal activity against several dermatophytes, with ethanol extracts demonstrating slightly greater efficacy than aqueous extracts.
