This study found that feather patterning is primarily self-organizing and dynamic, relying on both genetic and epigenetic controls, with implications for similar processes like fingerprints and pigmentation.

This study found that specific dermoscopic signs, such as diameter diversity of leukotrichia and Pohl-Pinkus constrictions, were associated with progressive vitiligo, and early-stage melanin synthesis was impaired in vitiligo-associated leukotrichia.

This review highlights that alopecia areata, a common type of hair loss, currently lacks preventive or curative treatments, and traditional therapies such as minoxidil and corticosteroids offer inconsistent results, necessitating patient-consensual treatment planning.

This case report details the lack of confluent repigmentation in an 8-year-old girl with vitiligo after three years of trioxsalen and ultraviolet light treatment.

This study highlights that dermoscopy is an essential, non-invasive tool for diagnosing and monitoring alopecia areata, with various dermoscopic patterns associated with disease severity and activity, but also emphasizes the need for improved topical therapies and standardized criteria, especially for diverse populations.

This article outlines treatment options and counseling recommendations for pediatric alopecia areata, highlighting shared decision-making based on disease severity and patient goals, with newer treatments like JAK inhibitors and dupilumab requiring attention to cost and side effects.

GLP-1 receptor agonists may help or harm hair health, needing more research.

This study found that when choosing between hair transplant and scalp micropigmentation for female pattern hair loss, scalp micropigmentation is preferred if hair density is at least 104.6 hairs/cm².

This case report describes a 21-year-old female with systemic lupus erythematosus who developed tuberculous lymphadenitis, which was attributed to her compromised immune system from long-term immunosuppressive therapy.

This case report details the dermoscopic features of oral lichen planus in a young adult male, using mucoscopy to reveal a tri-colored pattern with unique structures and vascular patterns.

This study introduced a non-invasive, three-step diagnostic algorithm for alopecia that combines clinical and trichoscopic features to accurately identify alopecia subtypes, potentially reducing reliance on invasive histopathology.

In this literature review, researchers found that dermoscopic presentations of pediatric skin conditions often differ between children with skin of color and Caucasian children, with variations influenced by racial backgrounds.

This review discusses the assessment and management of common causes of pediatric alopecia, highlighting the importance of dermatologist referral for unclear diagnoses, treatment failures, or scarring alopecia, and reports no new clinical findings.

This study reported that dermoscopy can aid in distinguishing secondary syphilis from other skin conditions by enhancing diagnostic accuracy, though there are no standardized criteria; further research is needed to confirm these findings.

This article discusses the characteristics, diagnosis, and clinical presentation of different variants of lichen planopilaris on the scalp, with emphasis on cicatricial alopecia and the importance of clinical and trichoscopic monitoring; it presents no new clinical results.

This case series found that trichoscopy and biopsy of the scalp in individuals with skin of color identified concurrent lichen planopilaris and female androgenic alopecia, highlighting the importance of comprehensive scalp evaluation to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.

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

This study suggests that male androgenetic alopecia and female pattern hair loss follow distinct progression pathways, characterized by different trichoscopic patterns related to hair diameter and follicular unit changes.

This study aimed to document and compare the prevalence and characteristics of hair loss in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, noting the differences in trichoscopic and histopathologic evaluations between those with and without alopecia. Results are not reported.

This study found that trichoscopy was 73.77% concordant with histopathology in diagnosing patchy alopecia, highlighting its usefulness as a diagnostic tool for conditions like alopecia areata, lichen planus pigmentosus, and discoid lupus erythematosus.

This article discusses the characteristics and pathogenesis of acne keloidalis nuchae among men with coarse curly hair, reviewing its association with factors like chronic inflammation and potential roles for metabolic syndrome and infection. It reports no new results.

This study concluded that, in male patients with mild-to-moderate androgenetic alopecia, injections of PRP prepared by an automated method combined with topical 5% minoxidil were effective and safe, showing superior clinical efficacy and patient satisfaction compared to PRP alone.

The researchers in this study described the use of trichoscopy to assist in diagnosing aplasia cutis congenita of the scalp in a dark-skinned newborn, noting that trichoscopic findings can differ from those seen in light-skinned patients, yet remain a valuable diagnostic tool.

This study explored the expression and potential functions of long non-coding RNAs in the skin pigmentation of Koi carp, revealing their involvement in pigmentation and differentiation mechanisms.

This study found that trichoscopy can effectively differentiate scalp psoriasis from seborrheic dermatitis by identifying specific trichoscopic patterns such as hidden hairs, signet ring vessels, and comma vessels.

This study found that low levels of SHBG and testosterone were associated with higher mortality in men with severe COVID-19.

This study found that urchin-like Ag–Au bimetallic and Ag nanoparticle-decorated PAN mats showed significant antibacterial effects and potential for wound healing in in vitro and in vivo animal models.

This article reviews the use of dermoscopy in distinguishing temporal triangular alopecia from alopecia areata, emphasizing its role in avoiding invasive diagnostics and ineffective treatments; it reports no new clinical findings.

This case report describes a 37-year-old woman who developed widespread hair loss following the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine, which mostly recovered after topical corticosteroid treatment.

In this study, researchers used transcriptome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis to identify important genes and pathways involved in the transition between hair growth phases, offering new insights into hair follicle cycle regulation and development.
