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 study found that liarozole is more effective than cyproterone acetate for improving PSA response and survival in metastatic prostate cancer after first-line endocrine therapy, while maintaining quality of life.

This review discusses insights into the role of lipase H in controlling hair form and texture, emphasizing genetic mutations linked to autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis, and reports no new experimental results.

This study reports that the near-naked hairless mutation in mice is not an allele of the Hairless gene but may involve a mutation in a linked gene or a regulatory mutation.

In this systematic review, researchers found that individuals with lichen sclerosus have a higher prevalence of comorbidities like vitiligo, alopecia areata, and cardiovascular diseases compared to non-affected controls, and suggest screening all LS patients for cardiovascular risk factors and other diseases.

This study reports that structural abnormalities in the inner root sheath of hair follicles may cause the hair shaft to be loosely attached in patients with loose anagen hair syndrome.

This study found that FDA-approved low-level light/laser therapy devices significantly increased hair density in individuals with pattern hair loss compared to sham devices.

This case report describes a female patient with systemic lupus erythematosus who developed generalized hair-follicle hamartoma, marking the fourth documented association between the two conditions.

In this study, researchers identified a novel and two previously reported pathogenic mutations in the HR gene associated with atrichia with papular lesions in five Pakistani families.

This study found that the lncRNA lncRNA2919 is involved in hair follicle regeneration by downregulating growth-related genes, inhibiting cell proliferation, and promoting apoptosis in rabbit dermal papilla cells.

This study found that a novel R343H mutation in the vitamin D receptor gene impairs its transcription activity, contributing to hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets and alopecia in the affected family.

This study identified acute localized telogen effluvium as a potential cause of temporal hair loss following rhytidectomy.

This study found that female patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia are significantly more likely to have systemic lupus erythematosus compared to controls.

This study identified multiple loss of function variants in the HR gene linked to the unique hair coat phenotype in lykoi cats, also known as werewolf cats.

This systematic review found widespread support in existing literature for the effectiveness of low level laser therapy in promoting hair growth, but emphasized the need for larger case-controlled studies to confirm these results.

This study reports the first cases of loose anagen hair syndrome in dark-skinned children from Upper Egypt, noting it may be under-diagnosed and primarily causes cosmetic concerns without affecting general health.

This case report highlights a misdiagnosis of traction alopecia that progressed to lichen planopilaris in a patient of color, emphasizing the need to consider LPP in similar cases due to differing treatments.

This case report describes a 78-year-old male with adenocarcinoma and Hypertrichosis lanuginosa acquisita, highlighting the need to consider malignancy in patients with unexplained excessive hair growth.

This study identified a large deletion in the desmoglein 4 gene as the genetic basis of the Iffa Credo "hairless" rat's skin phenotype, linking it to lanceolate hair mutations.

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 reports the first case of atrichia with papular lesions in a Taiwanese family without a detectable mutation in the HR gene.

This review discusses patient-reported outcomes for health-related quality of life in cutaneous lupus erythematosus and reports no new clinical results; the authors note limited existing research and recommend further studies.

This case report describes a 38-year-old male with scarring body hair loss as the sole manifestation of lichen planopilaris, characterized by progressive alopecia and preceding itching.

This study found that activating liver X receptors with an agonist reduced skin fibrosis in experimental models, particularly in inflammation-driven conditions, by inhibiting macrophage infiltration and interleukin-6 release.

This case report describes digital gangrene as a rare primary manifestation of late-onset systemic lupus erythematosus in a 56-year-old man, with marked lesion improvement following rituximab treatment.

This study observed that Langerhans cells and melanocytes migrated to hair follicle sites during human embryogenesis, suggesting that Langerhans cells acquire immunoregulatory properties there.

This meeting announcement reports no new research results; it describes the upcoming Annual Meeting of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery in 2001.

This study found that in Asian patients aged 12 and older with alopecia areata and significant hair loss, ritlecitinib showed clinical efficacy in improving hair regrowth and eyebrow and eyelash scores over 48 weeks, with an acceptable safety profile observed throughout.

In this report, researchers describe a case of scalp discoid lupus erythematosus unresponsive to topical treatments, where hydroxychloroquine administered at 200 mg/day led to complete resolution of skin lesions in five months.

This article describes a rare case of syringolymphoid hyperplasia with alopecia and anhidrosis in a female patient, emphasizing challenges in diagnosis and treatment unresponsiveness despite the condition's link to mycosis fungoides.
