This pilot study found that a high fat lard diet may protect against fibrosis and affect the hair follicle cycle in a mouse model of systemic sclerosis, unlike a high fat coconut oil diet.

This review summarizes techniques like Raman spectroscopy, nanoindentation, and small-angle X-ray scattering to explore the biophysical interactions in collagen fibers, aiming to enhance understanding of fibroblast behavior and mechanisms involved in organ fibrosis and healing processes.

This study found that DPP4 is significantly involved in matrix deposition and fibrosis in human skin fibroblasts, although the exact functions of DPP4 remain unclear.

This study found that skin bacteria promote regeneration in wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis, suggesting a role for IL-1β signaling and challenging the belief that infection inhibits healing.

This study observed that frontal fibrosing alopecia is increasingly diagnosed in Italian Caucasian females, often showing premenopausal onset and eyebrow alopecia as an early sign.

This review discusses the immune system's role in skin repair and regeneration, highlighting how biomaterials could potentially enhance fully functional skin regeneration through immunomodulatory mechanisms, but reports no new results.

This study reports that the mechanical interactions between human skin and adjacent subcutaneous white adipose tissue influence the appearance of skin wrinkles, with sWAT reinforcement potentially more effective for reducing signs of skin aging than skin reinforcement alone.

This report discusses a series of patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia experiencing increased scalp sweating, which the authors hypothesize may be related to local skin inflammation affecting sweat gland activity.

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

This study reported that Hedgehog signaling in papillary fibroblasts is crucial for hair follicle regeneration during wound healing, emphasizing its potential for developing regenerative therapies in scarring wounds.

This systematic review discusses the treatment characteristics and outcomes for frontal fibrosing alopecia specifically in Black patients with skin of color, addressing a gap in clinical evidence due to underrepresentation in studies.

In this study, D-OCT imaging revealed distinct structural and vascular changes in patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, highlighting the technique's potential for diagnosing and monitoring the condition's activity.

This study identified that trichoscopy can effectively diagnose frontal fibrosing alopecia by highlighting specific scalp abnormalities in postmenopausal women.

This study found that applying aqueous bay leaf extract to skin graft wounds in rabbits reduced inflammation and improved tissue regeneration, leading to enhanced healing compared to untreated controls, particularly in terms of collagen organization, fibrosis, and inflammation modulation over a 21-day period.

In this pilot study, researchers found no sunscreen particles in the hair follicle units of patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, suggesting no direct link between sunscreen use and the condition.

This discussion highlights the evolving clinical spectrum of lichen planopilaris, noting atypical features and presentations in younger males that suggest potential different pathomechanisms from previously recognized variants.

This study found that females with frontal fibrosing alopecia had more preauricular lines than age-matched controls, indicating a potential new clinical marker for the condition.

This case report describes a patient with frontal fibrosing alopecia experiencing significant hair regrowth and reversal of cutaneous atrophy after treatment with the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride.

This study reports that variable environmental factors, including dietary habits, may contribute to the increasing incidence and diverse clinical presentations of frontal fibrosing alopecia.

In this study, patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia showed more actinic damage than control subjects, suggesting sunscreen use by these patients may be a consequence rather than a cause of the condition.

In this case study, a woman with frontal fibrosing alopecia and associated hyperpigmentation showed significant improvement in skin pigmentation and itch after 9 months of treatment with mycophenolate mofetil, highlighting its therapeutic potential for lichen planus pigmentosus linked to this condition.

In this study of a Colombian sample, the researchers found that while sex, alopecia location, and symptoms aligned with global reports, age at presentation, tobacco use, and use of wigs and dyes were different from those noted in other countries.

This study observed that among a Moroccan population with frontal fibrosing alopecia, common comorbidities included lichen planus pigmentosus (36.8%), rosacea (28.9%), thyroid disorders (23.7%), and dyslipidemia (21.1%), highlighting potential relationships mediated by shared inflammatory or metabolic pathways.

This article reviews potential causes of frontal fibrosing alopecia but does not provide new clinical findings.

This review provides a detailed analysis of frontal fibrosing alopecia, focusing on its prevalence in postmenopausal Caucasian women, associated comorbidities, and potential autoimmune, genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors; it emphasizes the need for improved understanding to enhance diagnosis and treatment.

This study reviewed 38 cases of frontal fibrosing alopecia, observing that diagnosis often occurs years after onset and is more prevalent in postmenopausal women.

This study found that infrared thermography might be a useful non-invasive tool to help diagnose frontal fibrosing alopecia by identifying active phases of the disease.

Certain drugs and supplements may contribute to hair loss in the frontal hairline in older women.

This review discusses the role of the endocannabinoid system in skin health and disease, highlighting its potential for future research and applications, but reports no new experimental results.

In this review, researchers explored the potential of exosomes in cosmetics, skincare, tissue regeneration, and dermatological treatment, noting their promising ability to modulate cellular environments, potentially improving skin health and treating various skin conditions.
