This review discusses the possible link between cosmeceuticals and frontal fibrosing alopecia but reports no conclusive findings; the authors stress further research on environmental triggers is needed.

The study observed that patterned fibrosing alopecia, a type of scarring hair loss, appears in some patients after hair transplants, facelifts, and other surgical interventions, sharing features with lichen planopilaris and androgenetic alopecia.

This review discusses the use of human-to-mouse xenografting to study human skin processes in vivo, highlighting its importance for understanding skin regeneration and pathology while identifying knowledge gaps and challenges in applying these findings to human skin.

This study evaluated dermoscopic findings in patients with different types of primary cicatricial alopecias, suggesting trichoscopy may aid in differential diagnosis by revealing abnormalities in scalp structures.

This review discusses central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in adolescents, noting varied presentation and highlighting genetic and environmental factors, but reports no new clinical findings.

This review provides a framework for diagnosing acquired scalp alopecias and discusses both non-scarring and scarring types, but reports no new clinical results.

This case report in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology discusses dissecting cellulitis of the scalp, emphasizing its disproportionate impact on Black males and the need for early diagnosis and effective management to mitigate scarring and quality of life issues.

This review outlines a systematic approach for dermatologists to accurately diagnose hair loss disorders, emphasizing the importance of differentiating between scarring and non-scarring alopecia to guide appropriate treatment decisions.

This study found that grafting an autologous cultured epithelial sheet improved both scarring and skin texture in four patients with acne-associated scar contracture three months post-treatment, suggesting the technique might effectively treat difficult acne scars by metabolizing excess collagen.

This review discusses central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, its similarities to lichen planopilaris, and emphasizes the need for further research due to its underdiagnosis and impact on African-descended women.

In this report, a unique case of lupus panniculitis of the scalp was diagnosed in a 40-year-old woman presenting with non-scarring patchy alopecia, which responded completely to oral prednisolone and methotrexate treatment.

This study found that in female mice, softer, lightly crosslinked gelatin-based hydrogels promoted better wound healing with less scarring and inflammation compared to stiffer, heavily crosslinked hydrogels, affecting immune and stromal cell behavior.

The authors of this meta-analysis suggest that intralesional injections of methotrexate and vitamin D3 may serve as safe and effective alternatives to triamcinolone acetonide for treating localized alopecia areata in adults, with trichoscopy aiding early detection of treatment effects.

This article reviews primary cicatricial alopecias, focusing on lymphocytic forms such as chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus, according to a classification by the North American Hair Research Society, and reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the assessment and management of common causes of pediatric alopecia, highlighting the importance of dermatologist referral for unclear diagnoses, treatment failures, or scarring alopecia, and reports no new clinical findings.

This letter to the editor discusses an unusual complication, crescent-shaped incisional cuts, observed with Q-switched Nd:YAG 1064 laser tattoo removal and reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the follicular unit extraction technique for hair transplantation, noting its rise in popularity due to patient demand and improved surgical skills, but reports no new clinical results.

This study reviews emerging techniques in acute burn wound therapy, noting innovations such as advanced imaging for better wound assessment and new closure strategies aimed at improving healing, graft survival, and scarring outcomes, while emphasizing the need for further research to validate these methods.

This review describes various types of folliculitis based on their causes, clinical manifestations, and treatments, but reports no new clinical results.

This article reviews the classification, diagnosis, and management of hair disorders, emphasizing the role of trichoscopy and early diagnosis for effective treatment but reports no new clinical findings.

This paper proposes a systematic approach to evaluating scalp itch using the SCALLP acronym and highlights the importance of classifying cases based on the presence of dermatological lesions and hair loss, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This case report describes a serious complication of follicular unit extraction, where donor-site necrosis led to cicatricial alopecia, but was successfully treated with two-stage surgery using tissue expanders.

In this review, the authors explore strategies for inducing scarless skin regeneration by modulating dermal signaling or specific fibroblast subsets to promote the formation of new hair follicles in wounds, particularly focusing on mimicking neonatal skin's regenerative capabilities.

This study found that exosomes derived from antler stem cells significantly enhanced wound healing speed and quality in rats, including better skin regeneration and collagen distribution, outperforming exosomes from bone marrow stem cells, and suggesting potential clinical applications.

This review examines the trichoscopic characteristics of scalp DLE and LPP, correlating these findings with histopathological data, but provides no new clinical results.

This case report highlights keloid formation as a rare complication at the donor site after follicular unit extraction hair transplantation, suggesting practitioners should be aware of procedure-associated risks.

This article discusses various issues and controversies in hair transplantation, including ethical considerations, the debate between follicular unit transplantation and excision, the concept of a safe donor area, the use of platelet-rich plasma, and the minimum qualifications needed for practitioners.

This study found that in spiny mice, the proximal side of ear wounds is crucial for regeneration, a process possibly linked to unique injury-induced immune responses compared to nonregenerative rodents.

This review highlights that recent advancements in diagnostics and therapies, including AI-enhanced imaging, biomarker analysis, and novel treatments like low-dose oral minoxidil and JAK inhibitors, are improving the precision and customization of hair loss management.

Minoxidil is the only FDA-approved topical drug for treating male or female pattern hair loss, and other medications like finasteride and dutasteride can also increase hair growth.
