In this animal study, zinc deficiency in mice was linked to disrupted hair cycles and impaired hair regrowth, which were reversed by zinc supplementation.

This case study describes a 34-year-old woman with low serum zinc levels, skin lesions, and hair loss, potentially linked to excessive alcohol consumption.

This report presents a case of acrodermatitis enteropathica in a 22-year-old female, highlighting the absence of underlying comorbid conditions.

In this case report, an 11-year-old girl with acrodermatitis enteropathica experienced a complete resolution of symptoms following oral zinc therapy, highlighting its effectiveness in managing this condition.

This case study reported normal hair structure under polarized light microscopy in a 70-year-old man with zinc deficiency, contrasting with previous findings in acrodermatitis enteropathica.

Hair loss improved after removing pituitary tumor.

This article discusses the impact of trichotillomania on children, highlighting significant impairment and distress, but reports no new clinical findings.

This case report describes a patient with a hepatitis C diagnosis whose acral rash, initially unresponsive to psoriasis treatment, showed significant improvement with oral zinc sulfate, suggesting a diagnosis of necrolytic acral erythema.

In this study, symmetrical acrokeratoderma was observed to frequently occur alongside ichthyosis vulgaris, with no specific therapy available for the condition.

This study observed that women post-bariatric surgery may be at increased risk for dermatological signs of malnutrition during subsequent pregnancies, highlighting the need for dermatologists to recognize these early symptoms.

This study found that adding low-level laser therapy to conventional treatment for canine acral lick dermatitis significantly increased hair growth compared to conventional therapy alone, but did not significantly reduce licking behavior.

This case report describes a girl diagnosed with ADULT syndrome, highlighting its rarity, varied presentation, and the importance of early diagnosis to prevent unnecessary stress and medical expenses.

This study suggests that the EULAR/ACR classification criteria for SLE may help predict organ damage, particularly in renal, cardiovascular, dermatological, and gonadal domains.

In this review, researchers analyzed literature on trichotillomania and found advances in understanding its neurobiology—highlighting dysregulated reward circuits and genetics—and treatments, with behavioral therapy and innovative pharmacological approaches improving outcomes where traditional SSRIs do not.

This review highlights advances in understanding trichotillomania's neurobiology and treatment, noting behavior therapy's effectiveness and new pharmacological and digital therapies, while addressing underdiagnosis, stigma, and research gaps.

In this literature review, researchers highlighted that trichotillomania involves dysregulated reward circuits, abnormal sensory processing, and potential genetic factors, advancing both therapeutic strategies and understanding of the condition, but stigma and provider training gaps persist in effective care provision.

This study found that infections and eczematous conditions were the most common skin disorders across all ages, with acne vulgaris being notably prevalent in adolescents and young adults.

This review explores recent advances in understanding molecular mechanisms of tissue regeneration in mammals and suggests potential therapeutic targets, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study estimates that young adults have about 230,000 tactile afferent fibers innervating their skin, with density varying by region and decreasing with age.

This study examined different polymersome systems for topical finasteride delivery and found that chitosan-decorated C7 polymersomes may enhance skin retention and provide controlled drug release compared to non-decorated systems in laboratory settings.

This article describes international efforts by dermatologists to launch and harmonize registries focused on COVID-19's dermatologic impacts, aiming for better global collaboration and data sharing.

This study estimates that approximately 230,000 tactile afferent fibers innervate the human body's skin, with varying densities across different regions correlating with spatial acuity and hair follicle density.

In this research, the authors identify coordinated mechanical forces as crucial for hair follicle development in mammals, with contractile, proliferative, and proteolytic activities facilitating the formation and sectioning of epithelial structures crucial for forming a functional tissue.

This study observed that darker hair is typical in wetter regions for the Indriidae family, while within Propithecus, dark black hair is common in colder forests, suggesting evolutionary adaptations to environmental pressures.

The article concludes that studying how skin forms is key to understanding skin diseases and improving regenerative medicine.

In this study, researchers used atomic force microscopy to evaluate mechanical stiffness across different skin layers in six participants, finding the highest stiffness in the epidermis and lower stiffness as layers progress to subcutaneous tissue, enhancing understanding of skin's physical properties and aiding future research.

This study investigated the physicochemical properties of polystyrene-b-poly(acrylic acid) nanovesicles coated with modified chitosans, finding that they can effectively control surface charge and potentially serve as drug delivery carriers with a 50.7% encapsulation efficiency for minoxidil.

This article examines the pricing differences between Proscar and Propecia, concluding that this represents price discrimination for varying uses of the finasteride compound.
