This study presents a case of neuropsychiatric lupus in a 50-year-old woman, highlighting the severe impact on quality of life and the necessity for aggressive treatment to improve outcomes.

This study identified a splicing-site deletion in the DCAF17 gene associated with Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome in a large consanguineous pedigree, leading to typical phenotypic features.

This study reports the first case of diverse medium-sized visceral arterial aneurysms in a patient with functionally impaired A20, potentially linked to HA20, and its atypical presentation in East Asia.

This study found that although progerin expression in mouse skin causes significant nuclear shape changes in keratinocytes, it does not result in alopecia or common skin abnormalities seen in human Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome.

In a mouse model of chemotherapy-induced alopecia, this study found that inhibiting the protein S100A8 with paquinimod alleviated hair loss and reduced oxidative stress and ferroptosis, suggesting a potential therapeutic strategy for managing this side effect in chemotherapy patients.

This study reports that despite normal cystine incorporation into hair follicles, trichothiodystrophy patients have decreased cystine levels in hair shafts, contradicting the hypothesis of defective transport in hair follicles.

In this study, hair shafts from trichothiodystrophy patients with ERCC2 mutations revealed abnormal cuticle structures and protein imbalances compared to normal hair shafts.

This study found that Ca²⁺ signaling and peptidylarginine deiminase enzymes play a crucial role in activating neural stem cells in response to injury in zebrafish, suggesting potential therapeutic targets for CNS injuries and cancer.

This study observed that overexpressing TSPO in the hippocampal dentate gyrus of mice led to significant anxiolytic and antidepressant-like effects, potentially mediated by increased allopregnanolone synthesis.

This study found that intermediate filaments and matrix proteins in presumptive hair shaft cells are synthesized sequentially, identifying a new polypeptide component that changes during hair cell differentiation.

In this follow-up of three siblings with ATP6AP1 deficiency, the researchers observed progression to total hearing loss, hair loss, and proteinuria.

In this study, researchers identified a recurrent MBTPS2 splice-site variant as a mutational hotspot in IFAP syndrome across diverse families, with phenotype severity suggesting the influence of additional modifiers.

Among families with pediatric brain disease, this study identified over 200 novel genetic causes, revealing potential treatment points using drug repurposing or nutritional supplementation.

This study provided the first proteome dataset for alopecia areata, revealing novel pathways in the disease mechanisms that may lead to new therapeutic targets.

This study found that among COVID-19 patients, a higher presence of the G allele in the IFITM3 rs12252 polymorphism correlates with increased inflammatory markers and disease severity, noting higher ESR, CRP, Fibrinogen, LDH, and D-dimer levels in severe cases compared to mild ones.

This case report describes a patient with SLE who developed acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, experiencing significant improvement after treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin, methylprednisolone, and cyclophosphamide.

This study identifies a new mutation in the Scd1 gene in a strain of Kunming mice, causing skin and hair defects with the mildest impact among similar mutations.

This study reports that two mouse models of scarring alopecia exhibit similar patterns of hair loss progression despite histological differences in inflammatory cell localization and MHC class I expression.

This case report describes a 19-year-old patient with systemic lupus and a composite heterozygosis SC with thalassemic component, highlighting the diagnostic challenge when symptoms of both conditions occur simultaneously.

This study developed an improved reference genome for the African spiny mouse using long Nanopore sequencing reads, potentially aiding future research into the species' remarkable tissue regeneration capabilities.

This study found that the hHa1-t protein variant, caused by a genetic polymorphism in the hHa1 gene, forms functional keratin filaments despite lacking a complete nonhelical tail domain, explaining the absence of a pathological hair phenotype.

This study reports that the symptoms and immunological findings in two children with diverse autoimmune-like conditions were ultimately attributed to lysinuric protein intolerance, confirmed by genetic analysis in one child.

This study found that schizophrenia-derived neurons exhibited impaired differentiation and mitochondrial dysfunction, suggesting a potential link between these factors and neurodevelopmental processes in schizophrenia.

This study found that the molecular structure of hair is more sensitive to synchrotron X-ray radiation than its supramolecular architecture, indicating potential concerns for biological analyses using such radiation.

This article reviews the regulation of gene expression and assembly of intermediate filaments but presents no new findings.

This study suggests that the T allele of the SNP rs2476601 in the PTPN22 gene may increase the risk of alopecia areata, although further studies are necessary to validate this finding across different populations.

This review explores the mechanisms and clinical applications of thymosin β4, highlighting its potential in various medical fields, but it presents no new research findings.

This case study reports a 33-year-old man with autoimmune thyroiditis and alopecia universalis experiencing reversible CNS demyelination, possibly due to autoimmune activity against CNS antigens.

In this study, researchers found that while the SNP rs6152 is strongly associated with androgenetic alopecia, the GGN triplet repeat is not, suggesting the causative variant is likely a non-coding one.
