This study observed that Vitamin D receptor expression at protein and mRNA levels was significantly lower in the hair follicles of alopecia areata patients compared to healthy individuals.

This case report details a patient with myasthenia gravis and a malignant thymoma whose rising liver function tests, initially thought to be related to antibiotic use, were ultimately attributed to thymoma-associated multiorgan autoimmunity.

This study found that the mutant hairless rhino bald protein in mice interacts with the vitamin D receptor but cannot repress its transactivation and shows abnormal cellular localization.

In this study, aspartame consumption during gestation in rats was associated with significant histological changes and increased apoptosis in the skin of their neonatal pups.

Women with PCOS have overall higher body fat, not abnormal fat placement, and more insulin resistance.

In this case study, electron microscopy revealed that harlequin ichthyosis involves giant mitochondria in keratinocytes and abnormal lamellar granule development, which may contribute to pathogenesis through altered lipid metabolism.

This review summarizes studies on knockout mouse models revealing abnormalities in skin and hair follicle development but reports no new experimental results; the authors highlight the utility of these models for understanding hereditary skin disorders.

This article reviews the evolution of syndactyly repair techniques, highlighting a shift towards graftless approaches to avoid complications associated with skin grafts, but reports no new clinical outcomes.

This study found that introducing the recombinant rat OTC gene into SPF-ASH mice restored normal hair growth and metabolic function, improving symptoms associated with OTC deficiency.

This study found that an adult female farm-raised blue fox exhibited an abnormal hair growth cycle and seasonal estradiol variation, with a delayed winter coat cycle resulting in spring shedding.

This study found that Krox20 is overexpressed in scar fibroblasts and may play a role in scar formation by upregulating genes involved in tissue remodeling and wound healing.

This study found that while most adolescents with PCOS do not show overt diabetes, over half have insulin resistance, and ethnicity is a significant predictor of type 2 diabetes.

People with facial disfigurements are judged more negatively, highlighting the social benefits of corrective surgery.

In this study, the size of vaginal prolapse was significantly linked to preoperative vaginal length and the length of vaginal excision following the Michigan four-wall sacrospinous suspension.

In this study, thymosin beta4 over-expression in transgenic mice was linked to accelerated hair growth and abnormal tooth development, suggesting roles in hair and tooth physiology.

This study describes a mouse model for Marie Unna Hereditary Hypotrichosis, identifying mutations in the hairless gene that result in sparse or absent hair and cyst-like hair follicles.

This study observed that a low-protein, arginine-supplemented diet improved the abnormal hair appearance in untreated patients with argininosuccinic aciduria.

This study reported that applying natural or artificial folliculoid compounds to mouse skin caused estrous-like changes in internal sex organs, but did not lead to cancerous skin changes.

This study found no significant differences in phosphatide distribution between normal and cancerous mouse epidermis during different stages of growth, despite variations in total phosphatide levels.

This study found that magnesium supplementation significantly improved overall quality of life in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, but did not significantly affect acne, alopecia, or abnormal uterine bleeding.

This study describes three adult dogs with sebaceous gland dysplasia, reporting that two showed moderate to marked improvement in symptoms with treatment, though ongoing management is required as the condition cannot be cured.

This study used a mouse model to reveal that S100A4-positive cells, specifically fibroblasts and immune cells, play a crucial role in nipple development, essential for successful lactation, despite no issues with mammary morphology or milk production.

The ZIP13 variant is linked to abnormal hair quality.

Vitamin D deficiency is common in temporary hair loss, and stress is often a suspected cause.

This study found that mice with a disrupted TGFα gene display a curly whisker-coat phenotype, similar to waved-1 mice, suggesting TGFα's crucial role in skin architecture and hair development.

This systematic review reports that fatigue was the most common symptom in both phases of long COVID, with lung function issues more frequent in the ongoing symptomatic phase and psychological burdens like anxiety and depression more prevalent in the post-COVID syndrome phase.

This systematic review found that long COVID symptoms, particularly fatigue, sleep disorder, and dyspnoea, were similarly prevalent in ongoing symptomatic COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 syndrome, but psychological issues and poor quality of life were more common in the latter.
