Leflunomide is more likely to help treat alopecia areata than cause it.

This study found that serum 3α-androstanediol glucuronide levels were higher in Indian women with female pattern hair loss and correlated with the severity of the condition.

This study reports that oral tofacitinib treatment in a patient with refractory lichen planus pigmentosus and frontal fibrosing alopecia resulted in near-complete resolution of hyperpigmentation and cessation of hairline recession over 18 months, and suggests it may be a promising therapy for these challenging conditions.

This narrative review highlights recent advancements in anti-ageing cosmetic procedures, emphasizing personalized interventions that improve patient outcomes and quality of life. The review synthesized evidence from 144 articles to assess the effectiveness and potential side effects of surgical and non-surgical techniques for facial rejuvenation.

In this case report, a 7-year-old boy with alopecia totalis experienced significant hair regrowth after adding topical tofacitinib and mometasone to his treatment regimen, suggesting potential benefits of topical Janus kinase inhibitors for pediatric patients with this condition.

This review discusses the potential of exosomes as cell-free treatments for skin aging and various dermatological diseases, highlighting their role in preventing scarring and promoting wound healing, while acknowledging the need for further research and quality control methodologies.

In this study, researchers described hyperandrogenism as a condition resulting from excessive androgen production, which can lead to symptoms like acne, hirsutism, and hair loss, particularly relevant for dermatological evaluation and management in adult females.

This study found that tofacitinib was safe and effective for patients with severe or treatment-resistant alopecia areata, alopecia totalis, and alopecia universalis, resulting in significant hair regrowth for most participants.

In this study, researchers used trichoscopy to establish standardized findings for normal hair and scalp characteristics in 360 healthy males, noting significant age-related differences in hair diameter variability and identifying potential pathological indicators like colored dots and scarring not present in healthy individuals.

This case study describes a 21-year-old male diagnosed with Becker's nevus, characterized by hyperpigmented and hypertrichotic lesions that developed over several years.

In this review, the authors discussed optimal resources and books for dermatology residency training, identifying useful materials by conducting a Google Book search and incorporating their own experiences to recommend an ideal book set for MD students.

This study found that alopecia induced by CDK4/6 inhibitors in breast cancer patients occurs more quickly and is more resistant to minoxidil treatment compared to endocrine therapy-induced alopecia.

This review discusses the role of the JAK/STAT pathway in managing alopecia areata and emphasizes the need for further research to determine the ideal JAK inhibitor, as it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, the authors explore the use of endophytic fungi as biofactories for producing eco-friendly silver nanoparticles, emphasizing their antimicrobial potential and the methods for their synthesis and analysis in nanobiotechnology.

This study describes how incorporating curcumin-loaded nanoparticles into various nanoformulations can enhance its bioavailability and improve wound healing processes such as angiogenesis, collagen deposition, and cell proliferation.

This review covers advancements in skin repair and rejuvenation technologies, highlighting potential benefits of stem cell therapy, bioengineered skin substitutes, PRP, exosome therapies, and gene editing for conditions such as chronic wounds and genetic disorders, though challenges in accessibility, safety, and long-term effectiveness remain.

In this study, among various treatments for localized alopecia areata, intralesional and topical steroids were found to be the most effective with no significant side effects.

This study suggests that PRX01, PRX44, and PRX73 regulate extensin-mediated cell wall properties during root hair cell growth, influencing growth patterns, peroxidase activity, and cell wall thickness.

In this study, researchers identified three root hair-specific peroxidases that may control cell wall properties during root hair cell expansion, affecting growth, enzyme activity, and cell wall structure.

This review explores enzyme inhibitors from gorgonians and soft corals and highlights their potential industrial and biomedical applications, but it reports no new experimental results.

In this study, researchers found that the efflux of calcium in root hairs of Arabidopsis thaliana, particularly through the ER-localized ACA2 and ACA7, is crucial for modulating cytoplasmic calcium signals and enabling proper root hair growth, with disruptions leading to impaired elongation.

This study investigates the relationship between chemotherapy for cervical cancer, including drugs like Paclitaxel and Cisplatin, and the development of alopecia, highlighting the need for more research to improve symptom management and the crucial role of pharmacists in patient education and care.

This study examined postmenopausal hyperandrogenism related to ovarian disease and found that specific biochemical markers can help differentiate between tumorous and non-tumorous cases, with a good level of sensitivity and specificity, supporting surgical intervention for resolution.

This review outlines the functional anatomy, pathology, and molecular mechanisms of androgenetic alopecia, emphasizing the need for multi-omics approaches to better understand this condition's biology.

This source discusses the complexity of cancer research, emphasizing that despite extensive studies, a comprehensive understanding of metastatic progression and therapeutic development remains elusive, and underscores the importance of animal models in breast cancer research.

This study found that phospho-S6 is strongly expressed in malignant hair follicle tumors but only patchily in a minority of benign tumors, indicating a potential marker for distinguishing between the two.

This study found that the SBN system effectively evaluates and describes the severity and clinical variant of alopecia areata using a standardized scale, aiding in patient management and disease course prediction.

This case report found that topical bimatoprost usage in a female Hispanic patient with open-angle glaucoma was associated with hypertrichosis and increased pigmentation of vellus hairs on the malar region.
