June 2026 in “Preprints.org” Pathological skin scarring, including hypertrophic scars and keloids, arises from dysregulated wound healing processes involving excessive inflammation and mechanical tension, leading to fibroblast differentiation and disorganized collagen deposition. The review identifies key signaling pathways, such as TGF-β/Smad and TNF-α/NF-κB, as therapeutic targets and highlights a novel treatment using atorvastatin delivered via a keratin hydrogel derived from human hair. This approach offers a sustainable, localized anti-fibrotic therapy. Combination therapies are suggested to be more effective than monotherapies, although recurrence remains a challenge. The document also discusses genetic predispositions, various current treatments, and emphasizes the need for further research to optimize therapies for scar-free healing.

August 2025 in “American Journal of Dermatopathology” The document summarizes various dermatopathological case studies and research findings presented at the 28th Joint Meeting of the International Society of Dermatopathology. Key highlights include studies on alopecia, such as a case of progressive non-scarring alopecia linked to diffuse melanocytic neurofibroma, and alopecia associated with cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitor therapy, which showed specific histopathologic changes. Atypical cases of alopecia areata post-COVID-19 successfully treated with baricitinib, and facial papules as early indicators of frontal fibrosing alopecia, are also noted. These studies emphasize the importance of accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment approaches in dermatopathology.
