This study reports two cases of frontal fibrosing alopecia in postmenopausal women, suggesting it as a variant of lichen planopilaris due to similar histological findings yet distinct clinical presentation.

This study is the first to report that apremilast may be effective in treating refractory lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia, though some patients experienced adverse effects leading to discontinuation.

This comprehensive literature review highlighted that lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia, both primary scarring alopecias, are diagnosed via scalp biopsy, with no standardized treatments available, necessitating individualized therapeutic approaches based on patient characteristics.

This review found that antimalarial agents were more effective than steroids for Lichen planopilaris, while finasteride and dutasteride showed favorable impacts on frontal fibrosing alopecia, despite heterogeneous study quality.

This study concluded that platelet rich fibrin (PRF) may enhance healing and functional recovery compared to platelet rich plasma (PRP) during immediate post-extractive dental implant procedures.

This case series reported that low-dose naltrexone may benefit patients with lichen planopilaris by reducing scalp symptoms and slowing disease progression, with no adverse effects observed in the patients.

This review examines the molecular effects of photobiomodulation therapy, particularly its influence on gene and protein expression related to inflammation and cell functions, but reports no new clinical results.

This study reported that lichen planopilaris predominantly affects females over 60, with a registered prevalence rate of 0.02581%, and is often associated with autoimmune diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus, suggesting a need for further research to enhance treatment approaches.

This study found that PLDζ2 and NPC4 enzymes play distinct roles in lipid remodeling and root hair growth in Arabidopsis under phosphate deficiency, influencing root hair density and length in a tissue- and time-specific manner.

This case study reported a 49-year-old woman with metastatic adrenocortical carcinoma who experienced an abscopal effect after pulse electric field ablation, leading to the resolution of three untreated liver lesions, suggesting potential benefits of this treatment combined with immunotherapy.

This manuscript reports on the first case of perforating necrobiosis lipoidica in Colombia, marking the 19th documented case worldwide.

This study found that mouse FLRG protein, a secreted glycoprotein, is expressed in certain tissues and plays a role distinct from follistatin during wound healing, suggesting different functions in vivo.

This study found that Egyptian women with frontal fibrosing alopecia had lower serum PPARγ levels and a higher occurrence of PPARG gene polymorphism compared to healthy controls, suggesting a potential role for PPARγ in the condition's development.

This study describes the development of a monoclonal antibody, 005-C04, which blocks PRLR-mediated signaling, suggesting its potential for furthering understanding of PRLR's role in health and disease.

This study documented the onset of lichen planopilaris during treatment with etanercept.

This study suggests that prolactin has complex, gender- and location-dependent effects on human hair follicles, promoting hair growth in female frontotemporal scalp areas while inhibiting it in male occipital regions.

This study found that Low Power Laser therapy may be an effective complementary treatment for scalp alopecia and crural ulcers, showing quicker and potentially better results than conventional treatments.

This study found that treatment with oral tofacitinib, alone or with other therapies, was associated with clinical improvement in most patients with recalcitrant lichen planopilaris.

This article introduces the Progressive Loss (PL) Scale, aimed at helping physicians communicate the long-term cosmetic risks of hair restoration surgery to patients.

In this study, fibroblasts treated with the small molecule peficitinib were reprogrammed into dermal papilla cell-like cells capable of inducing hair growth, offering a new strategy for hair loss treatment.

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 polymorphous light eruption (PLE) may include a wide range of conditions, requiring careful differentiation from similar skin disorders such as benign summer light eruption.

In this study, baricitinib treatment improved the differentiation of skin-derived precursors into adipocytes for diseases like Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, suggesting potential benefits when combined with lonafarnib.

This study found that targeting both hormonal and immune pathways improved treatment outcomes in androgenetic alopecia patients with an under-recognized inflammatory component called PIILIF, which may contribute to treatment resistance.

This study reports that optimized PLA nanoparticles can effectively target hair follicles to deliver both lipophilic and hydrophilic compounds, suggesting potential applications in hair cosmetics and treatments.

This study found that low fluence photoepilation with intense pulsed light targets the pigmented area of hair follicles, causing temporary hair loss by inducing a catagen-like state without severe follicle damage.

In this study, treatment with oral JAK inhibitors was associated with improved disease outcomes in 80.6% of patients with refractory lichen planopilaris over a mean duration of 5 months.

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.

Female Pattern Hair Loss affects women's quality of life, with limited treatment options and a need for more research.
