This review discusses the challenges in identifying specific hair follicle antigens involved in initiating alopecia areata and highlights the need for further research to understand its etiopathogenesis, reporting no new results.

This study highlights the historical and contemporary use of hair sutures in plastic surgery, noting their advantages such as favorable aesthetic outcomes, minimal tissue reaction, and cost-effectiveness, despite modern synthetic alternatives.

This review reports that 3D skin bioprinting has made significant progress towards clinical application, particularly in wound healing and disease modeling, but further work on vascularization and bioink standardization remains crucial.

This research review explores an algorithmic approach to scalp reconstruction, emphasizing the importance of considering defect location, size, and local scalp anatomy in optimizing cosmetic and functional surgical outcomes.

This article reviews the use of micrografts and minigrafts for facial and scalp hair reconstruction, noting it is safe, predictable, and achieves high patient satisfaction, but it presents no new clinical data.

This study from China found that although traditional surgical techniques remain common, endoscopic-assisted surgery is linked with higher patient-reported satisfaction, suggesting its valuable potential for broader application in clinical settings. Factors like reduced bra cup size, surgical method, and implant placement influenced patient satisfaction.

This preclinical study found that exercise-induced extracellular vesicles delayed breast cancer tumor growth in mice, potentially by enhancing the immune response within the tumor microenvironment.

This study found that total head shaving during brain tumor surgery is significantly associated with lower postoperative self-esteem in patients, suggesting that minimizing shaving when possible could improve psychological recovery.

This study demonstrated that intraoperative bioprinting using a bioink with human adipose-derived extracellular matrix and stem cells achieved successful reconstruction of full-thickness craniomaxillofacial skin defects in rats, promoting wound closure, adipogenesis, and hair follicle-like structure formation within two weeks.

Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure to move hair to bald areas, requires good donor hair, and results show in about a year.

This article discusses beard reconstruction techniques focusing on surgical algorithms and the use of tissue expansion, reporting no new clinical results.

This article reviews the literature on trichofolliculoma, a rare benign hair follicle tumor, and provides an observational report, noting the lack of consensus on treatment.

In this study, plasmatherapy was found to improve immune status indicators in patients with vitiligo, particularly benefiting those with segmental vitiligo by normalizing immune markers and reducing IL-6 levels, suggesting its potential as an adjunct treatment to slow depigmentation progression.

This review provides an overview of current research on AD-MSCs, PRP, and biomaterials, highlighting their safety and efficacy in treating soft tissue defects and chronic wounds without major side effects.

Scalp-to-scalp skin grafts quickly heal and hide well under regrown hair, making them good for repairing large scalp defects.
