January 2024 in “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America” This study developed a multiscale spatial atlas of healthy skin and basal cell carcinoma, revealing a hair follicle origin for BCC and the expansion of specific cell populations such as POSTN+ fibroblasts and RGS5+ pericytes, suggesting roles in skin cancer stroma expansion and vascular remodeling.
2 citations
,
December 2015 in “Journal of dermatology” This letter to the editor discusses excessive hair growth observed around local β-interferon injection sites for malignant melanoma but reports no new clinical results.

January 2007 in “Acta Dermato Venereologica” In this report, a case of a bullous lesion developed at the injection site in a patient treated with PEG-IFN-α-2a for chronic hepatitis C was described.
2 citations
,
March 2006 in “International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery” This article discusses the concept of "donor dominance" in androgenetic alopecia, where grafted hair continues to grow in bald areas, but reports no new clinical findings.

January 2019 in “Dermatology Online Journal” This case report describes a rare occurrence of nevus comedonicus on the scalp of a 19-year-old woman, highlighting its unusual location and classic appearance.
March 2025 in “Pain Physician” This retrospective study found that applying local skin precooling before scalp nerve block significantly reduced injection site pain during PRP mesotherapy for patients with androgenetic alopecia, compared to those who did not receive precooling, thus improving patient comfort and compliance.
July 2026 in “Research Square”
June 2026 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” This study developed a comprehensive atlas of human scalp tissue to uncover cell states and lineages in hair follicles, identifying disease-specific cellular changes associated with non-scarring and scarring hair loss, which may offer new diagnostic and therapeutic insights.
This case study reports the first known instance of basal cell carcinoma developing at the site of repeated microneedling for androgenetic alopecia, suggesting further research is needed to assess the long-term safety of such devices.
This case report describes the first instance of basal cell carcinoma developing at the site of repeated microneedling for androgenetic alopecia, highlighting the need for further safety studies.
February 2026 in “Journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery” In this study, a case of a 20-year-old woman revealed ectopic acanthosis nigricans at a post-syndactyly-release surgical site, suggesting this rare condition could result from epidermal–dermal mismatch and altered growth factor signaling in grafted skin, without indicating any metabolic or malignancy concerns.
November 2025 in “Archaeometry” This study analyzed animal hairs from 18th-century burial sites in Mazamet, France, reporting distinct hair morphologies consistent with the use of common local animal furs such as goat, badger, cow, or horse, reflecting the modest socioeconomic status of the individuals interred.
June 2025 in “British Journal of Dermatology” In this report, two cases of melanocytic matricoma, a rare benign hair follicle lesion that mimics melanoma and basal cell carcinoma, were described and successfully treated with complete surgical excision. Histological analysis was crucial for differentiation from similar malignant lesions.
August 2023 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study using scRNA-seq on 96 skin biopsies from 51 healthy individuals revealed distinct cell signaling pathways in different skin sites, including unique pathways in facial and palmoplantar skin, which may explain their varying susceptibilities to skin disorders.
June 2023 in “Clinical Case Reports” This report describes a woman with microcystic adnexal carcinoma who underwent successful excisional surgery and hair transplantation, which may be beneficial for treating surgical scars.
May 2023 in “Stem Cells International” In this study, researchers used single-cell RNA sequencing to identify cell types and molecular differences in subcutaneous adipose tissue from various anatomical sites, suggesting that certain subpopulations of human adipose stem cells might improve the treatment of chronic refractory wounds.
April 2023 in “Authorea (Authorea)” Hair transplantation can improve scars after removing a rare skin cancer.
January 2023 in “Burns & Trauma” This study introduced a volar skin excisional wound model that closely mirrors human wound healing and supports evaluation of skin regeneration with multiple appendages and innervation.
February 2021 in “IP Indian journal of clinical and experimental dermatology” This report presents a rare case of trichoadenoma occurring in the vulva, adding to the limited instances documented in medical literature.
May 2020 in “Hair transplant forum international” This study found that younger age and preexisting acne on the scalp, face, and neck may increase the risk of developing folliculitis after hair restoration surgery, but the overall prognosis for hair growth is generally positive.
