This study found that narrowband UVB phototherapy alone is not very effective for severe alopecia areata, with improved responses noted primarily in patients also receiving corticosteroid injections.

This study found that the E6 gene, but not E7, was responsible for HPV8-induced expansion of keratinocyte stem cells in hair follicle junctional zones in mice.

This study suggests that using UVFD to examine non-pigmented facial lesions can potentially enhance diagnostic accuracy and reduce unnecessary biopsies.

In this study, researchers investigated the role of the ATX-LPA axis in asthma pathogenesis using human and mouse models and highlighted the potential for developing new ATX inhibitors as effective asthma treatments.

In this study of mouse embryos, the researchers found that the expression of the Lhx2 gene plays a significant role in wound healing and may promote scar formation in later stages of development.

In this first-in-human study, BLZ-100, an intraoperative fluorescent imaging agent, was administered to 21 patients before skin cancer surgery and was found to be well tolerated without serious adverse effects, suggesting its potential to help distinguish cancerous from non-cancerous tissue based on fluorescence.

This study identified a novel mutation and confirmed a previous mutation in the LIPH gene in a woman with autosomal recessive woolly hair, expanding the mutation spectrum for this condition.

Bath PUVA therapy works well for a skin condition without as many cancer risks and is cheaper, and iron deficiency might not cause female hair loss.

This study found that a recessive mutation in the RHD4 gene of Arabidopsis thaliana leads to slower and more variable tip growth in seedling root hairs, resulting in shorter and wider hairs than in wild-type plants.

This study found that low-level laser therapy may reduce inflammation and increase hair thickness in patients with lichen planopilaris after six months of treatment, though the small sample size limits the findings.

This study identified 64 chemical compounds in the L. luteus L. plant, including several fatty acids and coumarin, highlighting the pharmacognostic potential of yellow lupine.

This letter to the editor provides no new results or studies on dermatological topics; it may address previous articles or observations.

Linalool in personal care products may worsen frontal fibrosing alopecia by damaging hair follicle stem cells and triggering harmful immune responses.

This review suggested that low-level light therapy using red/near-infrared light could be a safe and effective treatment for various skin and hair conditions, though more robust trials are needed to solidify its clinical utility.

This study observed that some patients with homozygous c.736T>A mutation in LIPH may have mild hypotrichosis with long hairs in adulthood.

This study reports a case where a biologic medication used for atopic dermatitis unexpectedly also treated concurrent alopecia areata.

This study found that hairless mice with homozygous mutations developed significantly more aggressive basal cell carcinomas and a heightened inflammatory response to UVB exposure compared to their haired littermates.

This research reported that the FDA approved Litfulo® (ritlecitinib) as the first oral treatment for severe alopecia areata in adolescents over 12 years old, with 23% of treated patients showing significant hair regrowth in clinical trials compared to 1.6% with placebo.

This study found that activating Toll-like receptor 3 signaling in periodontal ligament stem cells may enhance their immunomodulatory properties, suggesting potential implications for future stem cell therapy applications.

People with acne have more CD4+ immune cells in their skin than healthy people.

This study found that ILC1-like cells can induce alopecia areata in healthy human hair follicles, suggesting that these cells might be a therapeutic target in AA management.

This study introduced a novel in vitro murine assay using transgenic mice to identify immunomodulatory compounds, which identified 160 potential hits from 4,398 compounds screened.

This study found that immune privilege collapse in the hair follicle bulge and associated immune responses may contribute significantly to the pathogenesis of lichen planopilaris, suggesting a potential autoimmune basis for the disease.

This study found that urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) is elevated in hyperproliferative hair follicle keratinocytes in mice, and its inhibition significantly reduces their proliferation.

This study reports that a patient with rare linear lichen planopilaris experienced complete hair regrowth after 12 weeks of treatment with the antibody ixekizumab, suggesting it as a potential targeted therapy.

This study established a Krt24-CreERT2 mouse line targeting outer bulge hair follicle stem cells, finding these cells crucial for hair follicle development and repair, particularly following ionizing radiation exposure.

This study found that belimumab helped achieve low disease activity in over 40% of systemic lupus erythematosus patients in real-life settings, alongside reduced corticosteroid use and fewer flares.

This study identified 15 Iranian patients with PLEC variants linked to various plectinopathies and highlighted a novel association between a homozygous nonsense variant in PLEC and a rare combination of disorders including EB pruriginosa, muscular dystrophy, and congenital myasthenic syndrome.

This study reports that LL-37 treatment enhances cell proliferation, migration, and secretion of regenerative factors in adipose-derived stem cells, potentially promoting hair growth in vivo.
