November 2024 in “Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications” The study investigates hair loss in spontaneously mutated inbred C57BL/6 mice, which exhibit a delayed catagen phase in the hair cycle, leading to cyclic alopecia. The research identifies significant differential expression of genes related to keratinization, such as Krt16, Alox15, and Msx2, with Krt6b levels notably higher in hair loss mice across all hair cycle stages. These findings suggest that the abnormal expression of these genes contributes to the hair loss phenotype. The study provides a model for understanding hair loss mechanisms and developing potential treatments for alopecia.

April 1969 in “Archives of Dermatology” The document described a unique syndrome characterized by progressive baldness due to a distinctive hamartoma of the hair follicle. The patient exhibited symptoms including myasthenia gravis, an enlarged sella turcica, and an abnormal urinary amino acid pattern, with a suspicion of lupus erythematosus. Initially diagnosed as alopecia universalis, multiple skin biopsies later identified a basal cell hamartoma in each hair follicle. Histochemical and electron microscopic analyses revealed the tumor's epithelial cell characteristics. The study highlighted the critical role of skin biopsy in diagnosing alopecia of unknown origin and suggested that further research into abnormal ectodermal tissues could enhance understanding of hair keratin defects.
