Young women in West Bengal, India, with PCOS often have estrogen resistance, leptin receptor issues, folate deficiency, T2DM, and acanthosis, commonly linked to obesity.
research DERMOSCOPIC FEATURES IN CICATRICIAL AND NON CICATRICIAL ALOPECIA
Dermoscopy helps diagnose different types of hair loss and may reduce the need for biopsies.
research Hair shaft disorders: a rare case series

research Plica polonica: Trichoscopic findings with a brief literature review
Plica polonica is a rare condition where hair becomes irreversibly tangled, and the treatment is to cut the matted hair.
research Clinical Snippets
New treatments for hair growth and psoriasis may be possible, and gene differences could affect baldness and the severity of skin conditions.
research Editors' Picks
New findings suggest targeting IL-23 could treat psoriasis, skin cells can adapt to new roles, direct conversion of skin cells to blood cells may aid cell therapy, removing certain tumor cells could boost cancer immunotherapy, and melanoma may have many tumorigenic cells, not just cancer stem cells.
research Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia
Hair loss in African American women, caused by hair care, genetics, and environment, needs more research for better treatment.
research Molecular Dissection of Mesenchymal–Epithelial Interactions in the Hair Follicle

Understanding phenotypic plasticity is crucial for developing effective cancer therapies.
research Single-cell analysis reveals fibroblast heterogeneity and myeloid-derived adipocyte progenitors in murine skin wounds
The research found that different types of fibroblasts are involved in wound healing and that some blood cells can turn into fat cells during this process.
research Dermal β-catenin activity in response to epidermal Wnt ligands is required for fibroblast proliferation and hair follicle initiation
Skin needs dermal β-catenin activity for hair growth and skin cell multiplication.
research Advances in Regenerative Stem Cell Therapy in Androgenic Alopecia and Hair Loss: Wnt Pathway, Growth-Factor, and Mesenchymal Stem Cell Signaling Impact Analysis on Cell Growth and Hair Follicle Development
Stem cell therapy, particularly using certain types of cells, shows promise for treating hair loss by stimulating hair growth and development, but more extensive trials are needed to confirm these findings.
