This study found that retinoic acid induces epidermal transdifferentiation into mucosal epithelium in both chick and mammalian embryonic skin, involving specific gene expressions and pathways.

This source discusses how radiotherapy-induced skin fibrosis, a chronic side effect affecting cancer survivors' quality of life, is driven by ongoing inflammation and fibroblast activity, and emphasizes the need for comprehensive dermatologic management and better diagnostic tools.

This chapter reviews traction alopecia, discusses its clinical presentation and severity grading, and reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight controversies in its treatment and prevention strategies.

In this study, PRP injections showed comparable effectiveness to triamcinolone for alopecia areata, with a significant decrease in SALT score at one interval, and 12.5% of patients in the PRP group experienced excellent hair regrowth compared to none in the triamcinolone group.

In this review, researchers reported that plasma therapy, specifically PRP therapy, shows a high regenerative potential with low toxicity and beneficial effects like immunomodulation and soft tissue remodeling, suggesting its recommendation for broader clinical use based on most studies.

In this case study, a 24-year-old female with treatment-resistant trichotillomania achieved a 9-month remission of hair-pulling and hair regrowth through mindset reframing, physical barriers, and community support, suggesting these approaches may offer promising interventions for individuals with similar conditions.

In this study, platelet-rich plasma therapy was observed to provide better improvement in hair regrowth for alopecia areata patients than intralesional triamcinolone acetonide, as measured by lower SALT scores.

This article presents a case of trichostasis spinulosa, a common but often unrecognized disorder, diagnosed through dermoscopic examination of black macules revealing bundled vellus hairs, with the patient declining treatment.

This study found that concentrated clusters of noradrenergic nerve fibers form a longitudinal linear system in rat skin, particularly innervating arrector pili muscles.

This study found that the STRIAA scoring tool provides a rapid and highly reliable assessment of alopecia areata severity, showing a significant correlation with the traditional SALT score, thus enhancing clinical evaluation in patients with this condition.

In this study, authors reported that reflectance confocal microscopy may aid in diagnosing trichofolliculoma by identifying specific features correlated with histopathology that can be difficult to discern with other methods.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) shows promise for tissue repair and immune response, but more research is needed to fully understand it and optimize its use.

This study found that treatment with ritlecitinib led to significant scalp hair regrowth in patients with alopecia areata at Weeks 24 and 48, with higher response rates observed in those receiving 50 mg compared to 30 mg doses.

This paper reviews the literature on acquired trichorrhexis nodosa, a clinical hair loss diagnosis associated with hair care practices, particularly in those with tightly curled hair, and emphasizes management through protective hair care regimens rather than traditional prescription therapies.

In this study, researchers found that retinoids might improve lupus nephritis resistant to conventional treatments, but the sample size was too small for significant results, and side effects were noted.

This paper details a method for measuring testosterone metabolism into seven androgens using digital autoradiography, which offers high sensitivity and reduces the need for radioactive materials.

This study concluded that the combination of all-trans-retinoic acid and tocopherol-α is not recommended for treating del(5q) myelodysplastic syndromes due to low efficacy and high incidence of adverse effects.

This study found that RAR-gamma 1 mRNA is present in multiple skin layers and structures, suggesting a role in maintaining and differentiating normal epidermis and skin appendages.

TEC kinases may help cause inflammation in vitiligo and could be targeted for treatment.

This review discusses trichotillomania's clinical features, prevalence, and treatment options, highlighting the potential benefits of behavior therapy and pharmacotherapy but reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, co-administering adipose-derived stem cells with platelet-rich plasma reduced radiation therapy-induced skin and hair follicle damage in mice, suggesting potential for clinical application.

This study found that a specific macrophage subpopulation in the dermis helps maintain hair follicle stem cell quiescence through cytokine-mediated signaling.

Scientists found key proteins and genes that affect skin and hair health, and identified potential new treatments for hair loss, skin disorders, and wound healing.

This study demonstrated that thyroid hormone receptors play a crucial role in hair growth and skin health, as mice lacking these receptors showed impaired hair cycling and wound healing.

This study examined the effects of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment on women with female androgenetic alopecia in a double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot trial, but specific results were not reported in the abstract.

Temporal triangular alopecia is a lifelong condition with hairless patches on the side of the head that may be present from birth.

In this study, researchers identified thousands of mRNA, lncRNA, circRNA, and miRNA transcripts involved in different hair follicle stages of Rex rabbits and highlighted significant gene expression changes and pathway enrichments, providing insights into the regulatory mechanisms of hair development in these animals.

This study found that Oncostatin M, via JAK-STAT5 signaling, keeps hair follicle stem cells inactive, and its removal leads to hair growth initiation in mice.

This study found that Malt1, particularly its protease activity, plays a crucial role in maintaining Treg cell function and homeostasis, with its inactivation leading to autoimmune diseases and altered immune responses in mice.
