This study reviewed clinical data from 60 patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia and found increasing prevalence and generally poor response to treatment, with the cause remaining unclear.

This study examined 56 Thai patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, finding frontotemporal hairline recession and eyebrow loss were common, and reported better disease stabilization with combination treatments of topical corticosteroids with hydroxychloroquine or finasteride.

This review discusses the enigmatic nature of frontal fibrosing alopecia and reports no clinical results; the authors stress the need for further research.

The Fas/FasL pathway may play a role in alopecia areata.

This case series observed a potential familial link in central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA), suggesting a genetic predisposition that may be worsened by hair grooming practices.

This study found that key amino acids lost from hair due to weathering can be successfully reintroduced through cosmetic treatments, improving hair strength and aesthetics.

In this study, FAPD was characterized in a Chinese population by perifollicular mast cell infiltration, suggesting young individuals may be at higher risk than previously thought.

This article discusses features, genetics, and diagnostic challenges of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in African American women but reports no new clinical results.

This study concluded that removing alopecia and mucous membrane components from the CLASI-A score limits the ability to capture crucial clinical information about cutaneous lupus erythematosus activity, recommending their retention.

Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM) is a useful tool for studying how drugs interact with skin and diagnosing skin disorders, despite some limitations.

This review discusses the mechanisms and pathways of FGFR signalling and its roles in development, disorders, and therapeutic targeting, but reports no new clinical results.

This report describes a case where a woman with frontal fibrosing alopecia initially presented with symptoms resembling rosacea, but further investigation led to a diagnosis of FFA, resulting in a treatment change to oral finasteride and hydroxychloroquine.

This review discusses the possible immune-mediated and environmental factors contributing to frontal fibrosing alopecia but reports no new clinical findings, emphasizing the need for standardized treatment evaluations.

This case report describes a young man with rapidly progressive cicatricial alopecia that shows features overlapping several other types, suggesting these conditions may exist on a spectrum.

This study found a high prevalence of beard and eyebrow alopecia in male patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, and suggests a potential link between hormonal imbalances and the condition.

This pilot study found that examining changes in scalp scales after scraping may effectively distinguish seborrheic dermatitis associated with androgenetic alopecia from fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution.

This paper introduces Concentration Growth Factor (CGF) as a potential treatment for androgenetic alopecia, but reports no clinical findings on its effectiveness in promoting hair growth.

This review discusses central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in adolescents, noting varied presentation and highlighting genetic and environmental factors, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study in Morocco found that all women with frontal fibrosing alopecia presented frontotemporal hairline recession, with trichoscopic features such as perifollicular erythema and follicular hyperkeratosis being indicative of the condition, and suggested a potential link between cosmetic products or emotional factors and the disease.

In this study, canine hair follicle stem cells were shown to be multipotent, capable of differentiating into various cell types like adipocytes in vitro.

This study found that for thyroid cancer patients who underwent radical mastectomy, the combination of CAF regimen and fufangbanmao capsule improved short-term clinical efficacy, enhanced immune function, reduced drug toxicity, and positively impacted quality of life compared to the CAF regimen alone.

This study identifies a new mutation in the Scd1 gene in a strain of Kunming mice, causing skin and hair defects with the mildest impact among similar mutations.

This study found that patients with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia were less likely to report treatment improvement and more commonly associated with certain hairstyling practices compared to those with other scarring alopecias.

This study introduces ficlatuzumab, an anti-HGF monoclonal antibody, in combination with gefitinib in a phase 2 trial to address EGFR TKI resistance in Asian NSCLC patients.
