In this study, researchers characterized the clinical features of ophiasis, an uncommon type of alopecia areata, and proposed a new subtype classification that may help predict treatment response and guide management, noting that ophiasis generally has a chronic and refractory nature.

Advanced imaging techniques are crucial for accurately diagnosing Monilethrix, a rare hair disorder.

This study examined the unique structural features of sinus hair follicles in the shrew Sorex unguiculatus, which suggest a specialization for vibration sensing.

This report describes ten cases of pityriasis amiantacea to raise awareness of this uncommon scalp condition, highlighting its negative test findings and its uncertain association with other skin diseases.

In this study, Dodatek A operationalizes the Functional Androgen Axis framework by defining three system-level indices and an efficiency metric to describe androgen function, incorporating key methodological improvements and acknowledging significant limitations for future empirical validation.

This study observed that among patients with Myhre syndrome, those with the SMAD4 gene variant p.Arg496Cys experienced fewer symptoms like hearing loss, while those with the p.Ile500Thr variant often had severe aortic hypoplasia, highlighting the diverse symptom progression and genetic factors of this rare condition.

In this case report, mogamulizumab treatment for Sézary syndrome was associated with rashes and alopecia in a patient, highlighting the potential for immune-mediated side effects and suggesting that such adverse effects might indicate a favorable prognosis, though further studies are needed.

This article reviews two cases of monilethrix in siblings, detailing their clinical and dermatoscopic characteristics, but reports no new findings.

In this study, researchers observed that alopecia prevalence varies in gray bats throughout the summer, with higher rates in lactating females, who also exhibit more severe lesions, but found no link between subcutaneous mites and fur loss.

This classification proposal introduces a novel system for categorizing cutaneous adnexal cysts based on their origin in the folliculosebaceous unit and sweat glands, aiming to simplify and enhance understanding of these skin lesions.

This article discusses a case of an adult with acneiform follicular mucinosis that was controlled using systemic corticosteroids and reports no new findings.

This study reports a rare case of amyloid-associated alopecia, confirmed through histologic analysis, as a scalp manifestation in a patient with primary systemic amyloidosis.

The study concluded that all parts of the normal human Meibomian gland ductal system show signs of early keratinisation, supporting the idea that these glands are akin to "hair follicles without a hair shaft.

This study found that Clitocybin A from Clitocybe aurantiaca significantly increased the proliferation of immortalized rat dermal papilla cells, suggesting potential hair growth-promoting effects in a laboratory setting.

In this study, the researchers explored how the loss of structural integrity in hair follicles due to reduced α-SMA expression in the vertex area may contribute to androgenetic alopecia.

This case report describes a young woman with an adrenal oncocytic tumor of uncertain malignant potential, highlighting the need for ongoing surveillance due to possible malignancy.

This case report describes a 25-year-old woman with alopecia areata and nail spooning, which regressed almost completely after treatment with oral corticosteroids.

In this case report, a patient with Cronkhite-Canada syndrome also had mononeuritis multiplex, and the authors suggest that an autoimmune mechanism may be involved based on steroid responsiveness and electrophysiological findings.

In this case study, a 10-year-old boy with alopecia caused by infections with Microsporum audouinii and Microsporum canis was successfully treated with oral griseofulvine over two months, highlighting a rare co-infection.

This study found that ATP synthases and the mitochondrial gene COX2 play a key role in determining the size of skin appendages in hedgehogs and mice by influencing energy metabolism and cell proliferation.

This study found that, in Japanese patients with androgenic alopecia, sebaceous glands exhibit increased multilobulation which may be significant in the condition's pathology.

This study found that comma hairs are a distinctive feature of tinea capitis caused by Microsporum canis, distinguishing it from alopecia areata, which is characterized by exclamation mark hairs.

This study reported three cases of tinea corporis caused by Microsporum canis in a household, linked to a domestic cat, where genetic analysis suggested a familial transmission route.

This study demonstrated that switching aE-catenin to aT-catenin in murine skin substantially rescued hyperproliferative and pre-cancerous conditions, but led to partial baldness, indicating potential functional discrepancies.
