This study found that oral spironolactone improved or maintained hair condition in females with scarring alopecia and female pattern hair loss, with 83% of patients tolerating the treatment well, despite some side effects like hyperkalemia and leg cramps.

This study suggests that the GPX-PDE1 and GPX-PDE2 genes in white lupin enhance root hair development and contribute to Pi limitation acclimation by facilitating glycerophosphodiester degradation.

This case series reported that low-dose naltrexone may benefit patients with lichen planopilaris by reducing scalp symptoms and slowing disease progression, with no adverse effects observed in the patients.

This study found that biodegradable PLA particles released fluorochromes in a time-dependent manner on human skin, with BP-PLA particles releasing rapidly and DiAsp-PLA particles providing sustained release and accumulation in hair follicles.

This case report describes a patient with lichen planopilaris who experienced remarkable hair regrowth at a previously scarred area after treatment with low-dose naltrexone and platelet-rich plasma, following minimal response to other therapies.

This research reported that a newly developed adhesive wound dressing (SIS/PAA/LAP) demonstrated higher tissue adhesion and burst strength compared to conventional products, and improved tissue repair outcomes in animal models, suggesting potential for enhanced wound healing applications.

This study found that modified laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity reduced ghrelin levels, improved glycemic and insulin levels, and resulted in significant weight loss.

Low level laser therapy may help with hair loss.

This study reported that in mycosis fungoides and Sezary syndrome, there is male predominance and younger age of presentation in early-stage disease, with significant data collection efforts supporting biomarker identification.

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 study found that chemical lumbar sympathectomy with 5% phenol effectively treated idiopathic livedo reticularis in most patients, offering a potential long-lasting solution with repeatable efficacy upon recurrence.

This study found that overexpression of sPLA2-X in mice was associated with alopecia and hair follicle abnormalities, highlighting its potential role in hair follicle homeostasis.

The UK Intellectual Property Office allows granting of supplementary protection certificates with negative terms.

This study found that in Lichen Planopilaris, the Microbacteriaceae family was negatively correlated with IL-23 expression, suggesting a role in the disease's inflammation and microbiota composition.

This review discusses the role of trichoscopy in diagnosing lichen planopilaris and reports no clinical results; the authors emphasize early recognition to potentially prevent permanent scarring.

This editorial discusses the terminology and distinctions between Low-Level Light/Laser Therapy and Photobiomodulation Therapy but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that biallelic LSS mutations lead to congenital hypotrichosis and cataracts, with each tissue-specific loss of function observed in mouse models.

This study found that WISP-1 plays a key role in ligamentum flavum fibrosis through the Hedgehog-Gli1 pathway, with cyclopamine showing potential to reduce fibrosis effects in a rabbit model.

This study suggests that fractional infrared technology may effectively improve cervical skin laxity by enhancing dermal thickness without adverse effects in a small pilot group.

This case report describes a 22-year-old woman whose initial manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus was vision-threatening vaso-occlusive retinopathy, highlighting the need for early identification and multidisciplinary treatment.

This case report highlights lichen planus pigmentosus in a 60-year-old man, which was linked to previously undetected hepatitis C infection and liver cirrhosis, suggesting a need for hepatitis C testing in patients with similar dermatological manifestations.

In this study, a 9-year-old girl with female pattern hair loss showed clinical improvement and hair regrowth after six months of daily oral spironolactone.

This article reviews systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and highlights the FDA approval of belimumab, marking the first new SLE treatment in nearly 50 years, but reports no new clinical trial results.

In a study reviewing 291 patients with lichen planopilaris, findings revealed that women were more commonly affected than men, cyclosporine and methotrexate were most effective in achieving remission, and 5-alpha reductase inhibitors and systemic retinoids were particularly beneficial for frontal fibrosing alopecia.

ATR12-351 ointment safely delivers LEKTI protein to the skin, reducing enzyme activity in Netherton syndrome.

This review concludes that the global literature supports the efficacy and safety of lipidosterolic extract of Serenoa repens in treating lower urinary tract symptoms, comparable to alpha-blockers and 5α-reductase inhibitors.

This study identified biallelic variants in the LSS gene as a possible genetic cause of palmoplantar keratoderma-congenital alopecia syndrome type 2, highlighting the role of cholesterol synthesis in skin cornification.

This report describes a rare case of scarring alopecia, diagnosed as lichen planopilaris (LPP), affecting solely the limbs, highlighting the necessity for thorough evaluation of LPP beyond the scalp.

In this study, the gene SlPHL1 was identified as a transcription factor in tomatoes that enhances phosphate starvation responses by upregulating specific genes.
