This study found that lupus discoid lesions on the scalp are more common in females and are associated with a higher incidence of other autoimmune diseases compared to lesions in other areas.

This review discusses low level laser therapy for hair loss but reports no new research findings; it serves as an introduction to understanding existing knowledge before upcoming evaluations of recent studies.

In this study, more than 25% of children experienced axial length shortening greater than 0.05 mm/year following repeated low-level red-light therapy.

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 article reviews loose anagen hair syndrome, an inheritable hair disorder affecting children and sometimes adults, but does not report any new clinical results.

This study found that the RpoN/RpoS pathway regulates gene expression in Borrelia burgdorferi, influencing its ability to persist in mammals and adapt to different hosts.

This case report highlights a female patient with familial partial lipodystrophy who showed significant improvement in liver stiffness after starting leptin replacement therapy.

In this study, mixed lice infestations and their associated skin changes were observed in the Egyptian lesser blind mole rat, marking the first report of such findings in this species.

This research reports a new autosomal recessive mutation in mice, 'lanceolate hair', causing generalized alopecia and hair shaft abnormalities, which may serve as a model for Netherton's syndrome in humans.

This research observed that removing RNase L in mice enhances regenerative capacity through increased IL-36 and wound-induced hair neogenesis, highlighting RNase L as a gene that represses regeneration by moderating immune responses during viral infections.

This study reports the first known case of linear lichen planopilaris following Blaschko's lines in a nonfacial region.

This study found that the genes FCER1A and RGS1 are promising biomarkers for diagnosing systemic lupus erythematosus, with FCER1A downregulated and RGS1 upregulated in patients.
