This article introduces a new Core Curriculum for Hair Restoration Surgery, aimed at enhancing physician competence in diagnosing and treating hair loss with a multidisciplinary approach.

This article reports a rare case of squamous cell carcinoma with miliary calcification in a cutaneous horn, suggesting possible involvement of calcium-binding proteins in this unique presentation.

This study found that RSPO1 mutations in patients with a 46XX disorder of sexual development contribute to impaired skin integrity and increased risk of squamous cell carcinoma in areas subject to friction.

In this study, researchers analyzed skin tumors from patients with CYLD cutaneous syndrome and found that loss of CYLD function is linked to changes in cellular signaling pathways, particularly NF-κB signaling, and leads to increased secretion of specific extracellular matrix proteins.

A new test helps find drugs to treat head and neck cancer by targeting c-Rel.

The authors report that a 62-year-old woman with invasive conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma experienced complete remission two years after combining cemiplimab, retinoic acid, and IFNα-2b treatments, highlighting potential utility despite limited availability of IFNα-2b.

In this study, topical CUR61414 was effective in inhibiting basal cell carcinomas in mice, but no clinical activity was observed in human trials.

This study suggests that individuals with severe sickle cell disease, indicated by higher hemoglobin S and ferritin levels, may have lower cortisol levels as shown by reduced hair cortisol content.

This study found that oral spironolactone improved certain biomarkers in central serous chorioretinopathy patients, but recurrence, especially in older patients, was relatively common.

This study found that women with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia had a substantial prevalence of systemic comorbidities, including strong associations with dyslipidemia, uterine leiomyomas, and anxiety disorders.

This study found that Merkel cell carcinoma recurrence risk peaks within the first two years after diagnosis and varies significantly by stage, with immune suppression, age, and male sex also influencing risk.

This study observed that reduced activation of SMAD2/3 proteins in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma tissue compared to adjacent tissue may indicate a tumor suppressor role in disease progression.

This Cochrane review found no clear superiority among treatments for central serous chorioretinopathy, with low-dose photodynamic therapy, supplements, and eplerenone showing slightly higher probabilities of improving visual acuity, but evidence remains uncertain due to biases and small study sizes.

Human epidermal stem cells divide faster than previously thought.

In this case report, a 9-year-old boy with Sjogren-Larsson syndrome was also diagnosed with central precocious puberty, showing genetic mutations and increased hormone levels; he was treated with triptorelin acetate for CPP but experienced growth delay during follow-up.

This study found that the Cutaneous Lupus Disease Area and Severity Index (CLASI) is correlated with both physician-assessed and patient-reported outcomes in cutaneous lupus erythematosus, particularly highlighting concerns about body image in visible areas.

This article discusses the lack of information on central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia's manifestations in Black men and reports no new clinical findings; the authors emphasize the need for further study in this population.

This overview highlights the Dermatologic Surgery journal's comprehensive coverage of skin surgery procedures and techniques, but it reports no new research findings.

Using Selenium Disulfide shampoo weekly helps prevent scalp dermatitis flare-ups.

In this study, the researchers found that a 28-day topical treatment with a postbiotic ferment complex notably altered the scalp microbiome in women with sensitive scalps, increasing certain bacterial species and decreasing others, while also reportedly alleviating symptoms of sensitive skin syndrome in all participants.

This article discusses the sensitive skin condition of the scalp, its clinical manifestations, triggers, and individualized treatment options, but reports no new clinical results.

This case report suggests that intralesional cidofovir successfully treated SCC without systemic toxicity, making it a potential alternative to consider alongside surgical excision.

In this study, animal model observations suggested that GLI1 expression may reduce cSCC initiation but is not involved in the tumor's aggressiveness.

This study found that human adipose-derived stem cells co-cultured on a collagen sponge scaffold showed increased differentiation into keratinocytes, suggesting potential for improved skin wound healing.

This case report describes a 45-year-old woman with an SLE-SSc overlap syndrome who experienced significant improvement in symptoms after tailored immunosuppressive therapy including prednisone and mycophenolate mofetil.

In this study, targeted deletion of the stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 gene in mice disrupted the epidermal lipid barrier, leading to increased water loss, impaired thermoregulation, and metabolic issues.

In this study, a newly engineered SFCC hydrogel in animal models demonstrated promising potential for skin reconstruction, promoting hair follicle regeneration, enhancing collagen and cellular proliferation, and accelerating burn healing by supporting favorable immune responses and tissue repair.

This study found that anti-Sjögren's syndrome type B antibodies are highly specific for diagnosing systemic lupus erythematosus and are associated with several clinical symptoms, including cheek erythema and alopecia.

Genetic changes in specific proteins contribute to hair loss in some women of African descent.

This study found that premature desquamation of the inner root sheath is a non-specific histologic feature in scarring alopecia and cannot be used alone to define central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia.
