This study found that a highly resistant structure, located at the interface between the cuticle and cortex of human hair, acts as a penetration barrier, which the authors propose to name the "cuticle anchored resistant base" or CARB.

In this review, the authors summarize classical and recent insights into the biology and treatment of hypertrophic scars and keloids, concluding that while understanding and strategies have advanced, effective prevention and treatments remain unsatisfactory.

This study reports that elderly men with baldness and comorbid conditions experienced persistent scalp erosions following topical treatment with imiquimod or diclofenac, suggesting alternative therapies should be considered for this group.

This clinical report describes a method for using tattoo marks to help align a facial prosthesis for a patient with skin flap reconstruction.

This study conducted in Yemen involving 50 patients found that tissue expansion was effective for correcting scars and defects from post-burn and post-war injuries, achieving a 78% satisfaction rate with minimal complications.

This study found that high-concentration cell-free adipose extract effectively reduced collagen deposition and blood vessel formation in a rabbit ear model, showing promise for preventing and treating hypertrophic scars.

This study found that scalp involvement in dermatomyositis consistently shows a nonscarring pattern with chronic telogen effluvium, featuring telangiectasia and mucin deposition as universal histologic markers.

This study found that fibromodulin significantly reduces scar formation and boosts scar strength in rodent and porcine models, suggesting potential for FMOD-based therapies in cutaneous wound repair.

This article reviews cultural differences in the incidence of hair-thread tourniquet syndrome and finds it may be less prevalent in Iranian children compared to Europe, possibly due to social and cultural factors.

This case report describes a 56-year-old woman with wooly hair and skin lesions, who experienced reduced plaque size and thickness after using 6% salicylic acid topically for three months.

A heart transplant patient developed a skin condition called epidermodysplasia verruciformis after taking immune-suppressing drugs.

This study identified specific reflectance confocal microscopy features that help differentiate scarring from non-scarring alopecia, providing a non-invasive diagnostic tool.

In this study, researchers developed a new variant of the Mercedes flap with releasing incisions for reconstructing medium-sized scalp defects, demonstrating complete defect closure without complications in three patients following a single operation with excellent aesthetic outcomes.

This study found that fibrosis-associated trochanters in central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia are enriched with hair follicle stem cells and may indicate a disrupted stem cell niche contributing to scarring.

This case study reports that a patient with extensive scalp scarring achieved an excellent cosmetic result when transplanted chest hair grew from an average of 4 cm at transplant to 15 cm after 18 months.

This study found that dense-packing megasession follicular unit extraction is a safe and effective method for treating extensive scarring alopecia, with a graft survival rate of 85% and high patient satisfaction.

This study developed a rapid, cost-effective three-dimensional skin equivalent model using human dermal fibroblasts, collagen, and hair follicles, which closely resembles natural human skin and can be used for autologous transplantation.

This study presents a new approach to automatically remove hair artifacts from dermoscopic images, which reportedly performed well compared to existing methods like DullRazor using the PH2 datasets.

This article discusses various dermatologic surgical methods for managing skin conditions but reports no clinical results; the authors note that some manifestations of senile skin are not amenable to these procedures.

The study found that a specific signaling pathway helps skin wounds heal faster but may lead to larger scars.

This case report describes three Iranian men with gradual reddish-brown pigmentation on their cheeks and preauricular areas since childhood, unresponsive to sunblocks and topical steroids.

This case report describes a dual transposition flap technique for closing large scalp defects post-Mohs surgery, achieving minimal alopecia and scar visibility, though it is based on a single patient.

This article describes the skin changes seen in acute and chronic graft-vs-host reactions after bone marrow transplantation, highlighting the potential for early recognition due to the visibility of these changes, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, free flaps, specifically the ALT-free tissue transfer, were found to be safe and reliable for reconstructing large scalp defects requiring both scalp and skull repairs, with consistent results observed in clinical applications.

This article reviews central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, particularly in women of African descent, and explains its progression and symptoms but provides no new clinical findings.

This abstract describes a rare case of a young Kashmiri woman with neglected scarring alopecia due to favus, a type of tinea capitis more commonly observed in Kashmiri children.

This study found that coconut seed extract may effectively treat scabies in rabbits by improving infection signs and causing high mite mortality, suggesting its potential as a cost-effective herbal alternative.

This chapter reviews classification and techniques of surgical therapies for treating stable, recalcitrant vitiligo, highlighting their role alongside non-surgical methods for small, specific cases.
