This report describes two cases where lichen planopilaris compromised hair follicles in both donor and recipient areas after follicular unit transplantation, emphasizing the need for a biopsy if lichen planopilaris is suspected.

This review discusses Graham-Little Piccardi-Lasseur syndrome, a rare dermatosis with limited treatment options, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis through physical exam and dermoscopy, but reports no new results.

This study found that miR-339-5p negatively regulates loureirin A-induced differentiation of hair follicle stem cells, potentially impacting skin repair and regeneration by inhibiting the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

This review explores potential indications for prolactin receptor inhibitors beyond breast and prostate cancers, emphasizing the need for potent antibodies to further research prolactin receptor expression.

Applying minoxidil can help improve hair growth in people with hair loss caused by LIPH gene mutations.

This case report details a 17-year-old girl with systemic lupus erythematosus and recurrent infections linked to a complete isolated Clq deficiency.

This study observed that beef cattle with certain prolactin receptor gene mutations, known as slick mutations, demonstrated improved post-weaning growth and temperature regulation in a hot, humid climate compared to other genotypes, suggesting genotype influences growth efficiency and heat tolerance.

This case report highlights a rare instance of visceral leishmaniasis presenting as seropositive rheumatoid arthritis in a patient with HIV, emphasizing the importance of considering chronic infections as a differential diagnosis in inflammatory arthritis, especially in diverse populations with a history of travel.

This study found that the small signaling peptide RALF22 plays a key role in root hair growth response to volatile compounds emitted by Penicillium aurantiogriseum through ethylene, auxin, and photosynthesis signaling in Arabidopsis.

This study found that repeated treatments with the long-pulsed ruby laser result in a small but statistically significant reduction in unwanted hair, with high patient satisfaction despite modest efficacy.

This case report describes a woman in her 30s diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus, characterized by alopecia, arthritis, photosensitivity, and skin rashes, confirmed through positive serology.

This review discusses the clinical and trichoscopic features of lichen planopilaris and notes its potential underdiagnosis prior to hair transplant, but it reports no new findings.

This study found that the protein hairless acts as both a corepressor and coactivator of the vitamin D receptor, influencing gene transcription in a ligand-selective manner.

This study found that the mammalian hairless gene encodes a corepressor protein that interacts with thyroid hormone receptors, providing insights into hair loss syndromes in humans and mice.

This study reported a case of hereditary vitamin D–resistant rickets caused by a single heterozygous missense mutation in the VDR gene, showing dominant-negative effects and reduced response to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3.

This report describes an infant who was diagnosed with Rothmund-Thomson syndrome, a rare genetic disorder characterized by diverse skin changes, short stature, and other developmental anomalies.

This study reported that ritlecitinib was prescribed to a diverse group of patients with severe alopecia areata in the first 10 months after FDA approval, indicating its potential role in AA management.

In this case report, a 20-year-old male with tricho-rhino-phalangeal syndrome was found to have a de novo frameshift mutation in the TRPS1 gene, highlighting the challenges in diagnosing this rare disorder.

In this case study, a 6-year-old child with autosomal recessive woolly hair showed significant hair growth and sustained improvement with a 4-year combination treatment of botanical extracts, though the precise mechanisms need further research.

Ritlecitinib helps adolescents with severe alopecia areata regrow scalp hair and normalize body hair and nails.

This study introduced the Lichen Planus Activity and Damage Index (LiPADI), which effectively assesses the severity and progression of lichen planus, aligning well with other clinical indicators.

This study found that RSL4 in Arabidopsis thaliana regulates genes necessary for root hair elongation by controlling proteins involved in cell signaling, cell wall modification, and secretion.

This case report describes a rare occurrence of lichen planopilaris on the face in a 45-year-old man, contributing to the limited existing cases in the literature.

This study reports two cases of follicular lichen planus, suggesting that GLPLS and LPP may be variants of this condition based on clinical and immunofluorescent findings.

People with lichen planopilaris often have seborrheic dermatitis, which can delay the diagnosis of lichen planopilaris.

This article discusses the potential misdiagnosis issues in cutaneous manifestations of lupus erythematosus and reports no new research findings.

This study found that RCM combined with dermoscopy can differentiate disease states between alopecia areata, tinea capitis, nevus sebaceous, and linear scleroderma of the scalp by identifying distinct dermal and follicular patterns.
