This study found that novel compound heterozygous mutations in the desmoplakin gene lead to hair shaft abnormalities and can result in lethal cardiomyopathy.

This case study of a 2-month-old boy with maple syrup urine disease highlights the dangers of restricting branched-chain amino acid intake, as it led to acrodermatitis dysmetabolica-like skin eruptions and hair loss, later resolved with careful dietary adjustments and monitoring.

In this case study, a 19-month-old infant with palmoplantar keratoderma and nail dystrophy was found to have a desmoplakin gene mutation, leading to cardiomyopathy by age 7, illustrating diagnostic challenges and the potential link between skin, dental, and cardiac anomalies.

This paper highlights advances in Developmental Dynamics, noting how epoa-deficient zebrafish can model Diamond-Blackfan anemia like disorders for drug screening, Alx4 mouse models offer insights into craniofacial development, and mTORC1 signaling is crucial for retinal development.

This study found that ACOD1 deficiency in dermal papilla cells promotes mitochondrial dysfunction and contributes to cellular senescence in androgenetic alopecia, suggesting ACOD1 as a potential therapeutic target and 4-octyl itaconate as a promising treatment option for AGA.

This paper discusses a structure-based analysis to find new BRD4 inhibitors, identifying finasteride and amentoflavone as promising candidates for BET inhibition.

This study identified that disrupting Mef2c in dermal papilla cells delays the early stages of hair cycle catagen in mice, revealing potential interactions with Sox18 in regulating hair growth.

This study details the isolation and characterization of the human type II 5 alpha-reductase gene, which may play a role in male pseudohermaphroditism, prostate cancer, and benign prostatic hyperplasia.

This case study describes a unique instance of warty dyskeratoma involving two adjacent hair follicles within one lesion.

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 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.

This study observed that in live rodents, actin filaments adjust their structure to facilitate membrane transfer between cellular compartments; linear filaments stabilize fused membranes, while branched filaments, connected by the protein Ezrin, drive integration, demonstrating actin's role in adapting to membrane biophysical changes.

This study found that monilethrix in three unrelated European families is linked to the type II keratin gene cluster on chromosome 12q13, with no evidence of defects in type I keratins.

Multiple mouse desmoglein 1 isoforms have distinct roles in skin and hair development.

This study found that conditional deletion of Mof in mice resulted in severe defects in skin development, including compromised epidermal differentiation and hair growth, leading to perinatal lethality.

This case report describes a rare instance of double-lined frontoparietal scleroderma en coup de sabre and suggests a genetic basis involving postzygotic mosaicism.

In this study, a 68-year-old man with muscle-invasive bladder cancer and renal insufficiency achieved a partial radiological response to neoadjuvant therapy with gemcitabine and Disitamab Vedotin, without significant adverse events, highlighting a potential alternative for cisplatin-ineligible patients.

This review discusses AR-modulating agents developed between 2012 and 2018, highlighting challenges with ligand-binding domain antagonists and proposing nonconventional approaches targeting other domains as promising strategies.

This case report describes a nine-year-old girl with juvenile dermatomyositis and alopecia areata, suggesting a possible etiological link between these coexisting immune-mediated diseases, a previously unreported association.

This study reports that newly diagnosed patients with Bachmann-Bupp syndrome exhibit a broader phenotype than previously documented, including late-onset seizures, and suggests a possible universal biochemical mechanism involving elevated ODC activity.

CaBP1 and CaBP2 are important for continuous hearing by preventing inactivation of calcium currents in ear cells, with CaBP2 also able to restore hearing when reintroduced.

This study found that the PP2A-B55α regulatory subunit is crucial for ectodermal development in mice, with knockout embryos displaying severe neural and epidermal defects and failing to survive to birth.

This study characterized the crystal structures and supramolecular architectures of new salts made from 2,4-diaminopyrimidine and different dicarboxylic acids, revealing subtle differences in crystal packing and hydrogen-bonding patterns, particularly influenced by sulfur atom interactions, through Hirshfeld analysis and enrichment ratios.

This study suggests that EDA-A2 induces apoptosis in hair follicles by increasing DKK-1 expression, implicating EDA2R signaling as a potential therapeutic target for androgenetic alopecia.

This study isolated a bioactive peptide from Trapa japonica fruit and found that it may protect human dermal papilla cells from DHT-induced stress, suggesting potential for biomedical applications.

This study examined the evolutionary and functional homology of steroid 5α-reductase and DET2 proteins, identifying protists as a common ancestor, and discovered a new subclass DET2-like in plants, potentially involved in polyprenol reduction.

In this study, a patient with Cronkhite-Canada syndrome complicated by severe sepsis and disseminated intravascular coagulation was successfully treated using combined therapies, including recombinant human soluble thrombomodulin, despite the absence of a standard treatment regimen for CCS.

This study identified that mouse MILL1 and MILL2 are glycoproteins distinct from human MICA/B, primarily due to their association with β2-microglobulin and TAP-independent surface expression.
