In this study, researchers observed a dose-dependent occurrence of persistent radiation-induced alopecia in patients with primary CNS tumors or head and neck sarcomas, noting distinctive patterns and features, and suggesting potential benefits of topical minoxidil and procedural interventions for treatment.

This article discusses the history of modern hair restoration surgery beginning with Dr. Norman Orentreich's introduction of the macrograft technique in 1959 and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that concurrent chemotherapy with radiotherapy may increase the risk of grade 2 persistent radiation-induced alopecia, while topical minoxidil showed potential benefits, though more research is needed on its efficacy.

This study found that using PRP injections in skin flap reconstructions and combining acellular dermal matrix with split-thickness skin grafts improved healing and reduced complications in the surgical treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa.

This study reviewed literature on the use of robotic systems in plastic and reconstructive surgery, highlighting their application in various procedures despite the predominance of descriptive case reports and a lack of comparative clinical outcomes and long-term data.

Hair follicle stem cells have significant potential for treating various disorders.

This paper critically reviews recent advances in the use of keratin-based biomaterials, highlighting their potential applications in wound healing, drug delivery, and tissue regeneration due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and ability to support cell growth.

This study reported that free tissue transfer for postcranioplasty implant exposure led to a 100% free flap survival rate and salvaged 91% of the implants without removal, suggesting it is a highly effective reconstructive option even for chronic cases.

This report describes the first known case of atypical fibroxanthoma developing on a hair-transplanted scalp, potentially linked to sun exposure and CO2 laser treatment.
