January 2020 in “DOAJ (DOAJ: Directory of Open Access Journals)” This survey among members of the Association of Hair Restoration Surgeons of India explored the impact of COVID-19 on hair transplant surgery, highlighting challenges posed by halted operations and financial implications.
September 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study suggests that human skin contains distinct fibroblast subsets with unique expression profiles and functions, which can be isolated to investigate their role in skin pathogenesis.
August 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that tight junctions extend to the most superficial layer of the stratum granulosum in human skin, challenging previous claims of their limited presence in the epidermis.
November 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” Lichen Planopilaris causes irreversible hair loss due to immune attacks on hair stem cells, but modulating PPAR-γ might help treat it.
July 2018 in “Elsevier eBooks” This study highlights lichen planopilaris as a form of scarring hair loss with symptoms like shedding and itching, and notes successful treatment options such as topical and oral antiinflammatory medications to preserve hair follicles by early intervention.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study suggests that macrophages play a more substantial role in the pathogenesis of Lichen planopilaris compared to Frontal fibrosing alopecia, as indicated by increased CD68+ cells in Lichen planopilaris.
April 2018 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that the cell of origin in mouse skin affects melanoma phenotype and response to therapies, despite the presence of the same genetic mutations.
November 2015 in “European Journal of Inflammation” This review discusses the potential pathogenic mechanisms of cicatricial alopecia and emphasizes the need for further research on treatment methods, but it reports no new clinical findings.
May 2014 in “Clinical and Experimental Dermatology” A 70-year-old woman with a rare skin condition improved after treatment with topical steroids and acitretin.
