July 2021 in “Anais Brasileiros de Dermatologia” This study suggests that observing the acute telogen effluvium triad—frontal fringe, temporal recess, and occipital fringe—can aid in diagnosing telogen effluvium during resolution phases, despite challenges like negative pull tests.

January 2017 in “International Journal of Trichology” This case report describes the trichoscopic and histological features observed in a 7-year-old boy with morphea en coup de sabre and details the positive response to systemic immunosuppressive therapy.
May 2017 in “InTech eBooks” This article describes various hair and scalp examination techniques, including noninvasive, semi-invasive, and invasive methods, noting that trichoscopy is a simple, well-accepted, noninvasive technique for evaluating hair loss patients and monitoring treatment.
December 2023 in “Portuguese journal of dermatology and venereology” This study found that trichoscopic examination can effectively differentiate between alopecia areata and trichotillomania, as specific features such as black dots and exclamation marks favor alopecia areata while hair breaking at various lengths and several unique patterns are exclusive to trichotillomania.
October 2022 in “Hair Transplantation” This article discusses the temporary scalp trichopigmentation procedure, detailing its unique approach compared to traditional scalp micropigmentation, and reports no new clinical findings.

January 2014 in “Annals of Dermatology” This study found that dermoscopy showed distinctive patterns for different types of alopecia, supporting its clinical usefulness for diagnosing diseases with small round or oval hairless patches on the scalp.
November 2021 in “Skin appendage disorders” This case report describes the first known instances of male androgenetic alopecia with trichoteiromania, suggesting self-induced hair loss can occur alongside patterned miniaturization of hair.

May 2024 in “PLoS Biology” This study on feather pattern formation in chicken skin found that inhibiting gap junctional intercellular communication can lead to the emergence of new feather buds in specific spatial patterns, suggesting that GJIC may facilitate Turing-type periodic patterning by propagating inhibitory signals over long distances.
6 citations
