research A case of cicatricial alopecia associated with pemphigus: a case report
The link between pemphigus and the patient's scarring hair loss is still unclear.
research NEW ENGLAND DERMATOLOGICAL SOCIETY
The woman's widespread skin condition did not improve despite various treatments.
research Keratosis pilaris atrophicans faciei: An observational, descriptive, retrospective clinical study
Early diagnosis of Keratosis pilaris atrophicans faciei can lead to better, personalized treatments.
research Erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp following topical latanoprost for androgenetic alopecia
Latanoprost may cause scalp inflammation and delayed healing.
research Alterations in epidermal stem cells within the pilosebaceous unit in atrophic acne scars
Inflammatory acne damages skin stem cells and reduces their growth, leading to atrophic acne scars.
research Regulation of epidermal proliferation and hair follicle cycling by synthetic photostable retinoid EC23
The synthetic retinoid EC23 thickens skin and promotes hair growth more effectively and with a lower dose than natural retinoids.
research Defining compartmentalized stem and progenitor populations with distinct cell division frequency in the ocular surface epithelium
Stem and progenitor cells in the eye have different division rates and locations, affecting how they respond to injury.
research Ultraviolet Light-Induced Leukoderma of the Scalp Associated with Androgenetic Alopecia: Senescent Actinic Depigmentation of the Scalp
UV light causes skin color loss in bald areas; wear a cap and use sunscreen.
research 586 Increase in CD8+ effector memory cells re-expressing CD45RA (TEMRA) reflects disease activity and enables early prediction of therapeutic outcome in rapidly progressive alopecia areata
Increased TEMRA cells can predict treatment outcomes in rapidly progressive alopecia areata.
research Ulerythema Ophryogenes
Treatment with vitamin A did not improve the child's skin condition.
research Latanoprost-induced Skin Depigmentation
Latanoprost eye drops may cause skin depigmentation.
research An unusual anatomical colocalization of alopecia areata and vitiligo in a child, and improvement during treatment with topical prostaglandin E2
Topical prostaglandin E2 can help treat both alopecia areata and vitiligo.
research Latanoprost
A woman got a scalp condition from using latanoprost, but it improved after stopping the drug and starting other treatments.
research Hypopigmentation in frontal fibrosing alopecia
FFA patients have fewer melanocytes and thinner skin compared to others.
research Macular Alopecia: A Single‐Center Retrospective Cohort Study to Describe an Underrecognized Pattern of Alopecia
Macular alopecia is a distinct, non-scarring hair loss pattern that mostly affects young Hispanic/Latinx females and often resolves on its own.
research Eyebrow reconstruction in dormant keratosis pilaris atrophicans
Eyebrow reconstruction using hair follicle grafts was successful in a man with a benign hereditary disorder affecting his eyebrows.
research 1378 Identification of two distinct stem cell clusters, Lrig1-derived and Wnt/CD44-dependent, in corneal epithelium
The conclusion is that the cornea has two types of stem cells, with Lrig1+ cells being key for renewal in aging corneas, independent of CD44.
research Scarring Alopecia in a 66‐Year‐Old Woman
A rare autoimmune disease caused the woman's scalp blisters and hair loss, successfully treated with medication.
research 441 RPGRIP1L facilitates desmosomal adhesion through suppressing PKCβII-mediated desmoglein endocytosis: Implication in pemphigus
RPGRIP1L helps skin cells stick together by blocking PKCβII, which can prevent skin blistering like in pemphigus.
research Transdifferentiation of rat hair follicle stem cells to epithelium-like cells induced by stroma of limbus corneae
Rat hair follicle stem cells can become corneal epithelium-like cells when exposed to rabbit corneal limbal stroma.
research 1363 Hair follicle growth and pigmentation during ageing
The research found that a specific skin cell type not only triggers hair growth but also controls hair color, and that aging can lead to hair loss and color changes.
research Molecular basis of hypotrichosis with juvenile macular dystrophy in two siblings
A specific gene mutation causes hair loss and potential eye issues, even if vision seems normal.
research Faculty Opinions recommendation of Hair follicle stem cell-specific PPARgamma deletion causes scarring alopecia.
PPARgamma is crucial for healthy hair follicles, and its loss causes scarring alopecia.
research Erosive Pustular Dermatosis of the Scalp: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Systemic retinoids may effectively treat erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp.
research Both Retinoic Acid Receptors α (RARα) and γ (RARγ) Are Able to Initiate Mouse Upper-Lip Skin Glandular Metaplasia
research Lichen Planopilaris
Lichen planopilaris causes permanent hair loss and scarring due to damage to hair follicles and can be mistaken for other hair loss conditions.
research Pityriasis rubra pilaris
Pityriasis rubra pilaris is a rare skin disorder with reddish-orange patches and thickened skin, needing better treatment understanding.
research Preservation of sebaceous glands and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma expression in central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia
Sebaceous glands are often preserved and PPARy expression is constant in some cases of Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia.
research 265 Loss of Langerhans cells in scar lesion of lichen planopilaris is caused by downregulation of integrin αvβ6 in the epidermal keratinocytes
Scarred skin in lichen planopilaris loses immune cells due to a decrease in a specific protein in skin cells.
