This study observed that using ex vivo gene therapy to modify skin cells in a pre-graft model improved dermal-epidermal junction adhesion strength and maintained collagen production over time, suggesting a potential treatment approach for recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa skin wounds.

This study concluded that a combination of three specific dermoscopy features provides the highest diagnostic value for distinguishing actinic keratosis from other facial lesions.

This case series reports the specific dermoscopic features observed in two patients with syphilitic alopecia, highlighting alopecic patches with empty hair follicles and other distinguishing characteristics that may aid in differentiating it from other hair disorders.

This study reported that different types of alopecia have distinctive dermoscopic patterns, which aids in their diagnosis.

This study found that direct immunofluorescence of hair is a simple and non-invasive alternative for monitoring pemphigus vulgaris, matching skin biopsy results in the cases observed.

In this prospective observational study of 96 dermatomyositis patients, 47 showed scalp involvement, with significant symptoms like scalp inflammation, itching, and hair loss linked to myositis-specific antibodies. The study highlighted unique dermatopathological features in the scalp and emphasized the considerable morbidity caused by scalp dermatomyositis.

This article presents a new method using dermoscopy to evaluate the severity and treatment effectiveness of androgenetic alopecia in men by capturing images of specific scalp regions.

This study found that the modified wash test was generally more effective than TrichoScan® for diagnosing hair loss, particularly telogen effluvium, though both methods showed only fair concordance with clinical diagnosis.

In this retrospective study, researchers from the University of Bologna observed that trichoscopy can aid in diagnosing allergic scalp contact dermatitis, with key findings including common trichoscopic patterns of erythema, white scales, arborizing vessels, and simple red loops in 12 patients diagnosed with the condition.

This commentary discusses ethical concerns with direct-to-consumer teledermatology services, highlighting potential conflicts of interest and issues with care quality.

The authors concluded that VSCAPSI, a videodermoscopy-based assessment tool, provides evidence for early diagnosis, differential diagnosis, follow-up, and screening of scalp psoriasis.

This study found that ultraviolet-induced fluorescence dermoscopy enhanced the identification of follicular openings in alopecia areata, potentially aiding in the assessment of disease severity and treatment strategies.

This article reviews trichoscopic techniques for diagnosing common hair loss conditions and presents a revised algorithm for identifying specific features of cicatricial and noncicatricial alopecia, but reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that trichoscopy with a handheld dermatoscope may help differentiate temporal triangular alopecia from other localized alopecia by identifying specific hair features.

This systematic review evaluated 60 studies on trichoscopy in hair and scalp disorders, revealing gaps in accounting for variables like disease stage or hair texture, and underscoring a need for more comprehensive analyses to fully understand trichoscopic patterns.

This study found that using ionic liquid for specimen preparation allowed for observation of dermal papilla cells and their cilia in near-living conditions, reducing damage typically caused by conventional preparation methods.

This review examines non-invasive methods for diagnosing inflammatory skin diseases like lupus erythematosus and psoriatic inflammation using samples from plucked hair and skin tape-strips, but no new clinical results are presented.

This case report indicates that trichoscopy may significantly improve the diagnosis of Netherton syndrome by noninvasively identifying typical hair abnormalities without the need to pull hair.

This study reviewed the genetic and phenotypic aspects of Olmsted syndrome, highlighting pathogenic mutations in TRPV3 and MBTPS2 genes and their association with specific skin manifestations like symmetrical keratoderma and hyperkeratotic plaques.

UV dermoscopy helps detect white hairs in children more effectively.

This study found that multiphoton microscopy effectively visualizes the microstructure of in vivo mouse skin, offering a clear view of various skin layers and components like corneocytes and collagen fibers.

This review discusses the challenges and potential solutions in studying Demodex mites and their possible pathogenic role in human skin disorders but reports no new findings.

This study found that among patients with seborrheic dermatitis, the "dandelion" vascular conglomerate observed through trichoscopy was correlated with Malassezia scalp colonization.

This source outlines the Dermatologic Surgery journal, which provides extensive and up-to-date information on diverse dermatologic surgical procedures and skin cancer treatments, featuring peer-reviewed articles, literature reviews, and case reports valuable to professionals like dermatologists and plastic surgeons.

In this study, UVFD and sUVRD techniques revealed distinctive characteristics of GD lesions, suggesting that GD might be more common in younger individuals and females than previously thought, possibly due to underdiagnosis. Incorporating dermatoscopy in exams may help improve GD detection and management.

This study found that ultraviolet-induced fluorescence trichoscopy can help differentiate between scarring and non-scarring alopecia and between psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis.

In this review, the authors concluded that trichoscopy is a quick, non-invasive, and effective method for diagnosing and monitoring non-scarring alopecia, offering a more precise and faster alternative compared to other diagnostic methods for identifying and managing different types of hair loss.

This systematic review provides a detailed overview of the clinical and dermoscopic features of cutaneous adnexal tumors, highlighting their potential to mimic other skin lesions and assisting in differential diagnosis.

This study suggests using a handheld dermatoscope may allow for simple and efficient differentiation of eruptive vellus hair cysts by detecting vellus hair shafts, as demonstrated in a familial case involving five women.
