This article proposes an updated naming system for keratin-associated proteins and genes, aiming to improve data storage and retrieval by including species information and genetic variation.

In this study, researchers found that the prevalent Glu 410 Lys mutation in hHb6 and a new Glu 403 Lys mutation in hHb1 are linked to monilethrix, suggesting a mutational hotspot in type II hair keratins.

This study found that Arabidopsis thaliana plants developed longer root hairs under low phosphorus conditions, suggesting auxin involvement in this adaptive response.

This study revealed that Thai youths who are more worried about androgenetic alopecia tend to experience higher severity of the condition, poorer quality of life, and increased use of multiple hair styling products.

The compound (NH4)2Mn0.17Cu0.83Cl4.2H₂O has a specific structure, shows weak magnetism at low temperatures, and undergoes phase changes at high temperatures.

In this study, researchers found that stabilizing the protein HIF1A in hair follicles promotes glycolysis over oxidative phosphorylation, potentially reducing oxidative stress and supporting hair growth.

This study reported significant challenges in the UK care system for alopecia areata patients, including inconsistent care pathways, long waiting times, inadequate access to specialists, and insufficient resources, particularly affecting referral processes and treatment access.

In this study, shampoos containing sodium lauroyl methylaminopropionate showed superior coacervate formation and lubrication on wet hair, outperforming other amino acid surfactants and suggesting potential for creating low-irritation, high-performance hair products.

Arg1+ macrophages may play a role in Alopecia Areata, offering new treatment targets.

In this study, a new pH-responsive hydrogel composed of polyvinyl alcohol and boric acid was found to release salvianolic acid B effectively, reducing excessive scar formation and enhancing tissue regeneration during early-stage wound healing.

This study presents case reports of four patients with alopecia areata or alopecia universalis, highlighting varied responses to treatments like prednisone, intralesional triamcinolone, and squaric acid dibutyl ester.

This study evaluated hair tonic and gel formulations containing Angiopteris evecta root water extract and found both fulfilled pharmaceutical preparation standards, with the 12.5% hair tonic and 10.0% gel concentrations most effective for hair growth without a significant difference in performance.

Aδ-LTMRs have complex synapses with glycine, while Aβ-LTMRs have simpler ones.

In this study of Beauty and Aesthetics students, researchers found that using a hair tonic made from Green Spinach Leaves significantly reduced hair loss when applied weekly, compared to a control, but no significant difference was observed when increasing application to twice weekly.

This study found that type A botulinum toxin treatment significantly increased hair thickness and reduced vellous hair count in patients with androgenetic alopecia, suggesting its potential as an effective therapy.

This study sequenced a related gene to KRT2.9 called KRT2.13, which encodes a type II keratin protein not expressed in the hair follicle, and found significant sequence homology suggesting possible gene conversion or conservation of functional sequences.

This study suggests that the amino acid composition of fibrous proteins in normal human hair is similar to that of stratum corneum proteins, particularly in cysteine and glycine content.

This study reports a unique case of identical twins experiencing alopecia areata at the same time, suggesting potential environmental triggers for this polygenic autoimmune condition.

This study describes a Japanese family with monilethrix and found no clear genotype/phenotype correlation in cases with the E413K mutation in hHb6.

This case report describes a 4-year-old boy with congenital alopecia characterized by complete irreversible hair loss and papular lesions associated with keratin-filled cysts.

This review found that hair antiretroviral concentration may be associated with several factors, including hair type and genetic factors, but not with race/ethnicity or alcohol use.

The researchers reported that treatment with adipose-derived stem cell conditioned medium significantly increased hair count in the study participants, suggesting it is an effective therapy for hair regeneration.

This study identified a severe MBTPS2 gene mutation in a Japanese patient with IFAP syndrome, suggesting other factors may influence the varied clinical severity of the condition.

In this study, AA patients and healthy controls showed no significant difference in carotid intima-media thickness, but AA patients had higher diastolic blood pressure and fasting blood glucose levels, indicating potential cardiovascular risks.

In this case report, a 9-year-old horse was diagnosed with alopecia areata contributing to Malassezia dermatitis, involving lymphocyte infiltration and symptoms consistent with yeast presence.

Accurate protein modeling can help develop new treatments for prostate cancer and other diseases.

This study suggests that trichohyalin is modified by peptidyl-arginine deiminase before being cross-linked by TGase 3, allowing the formation of rigid structures in hair follicle cells.

This study found an association between hydroxyl radical-modified SOD and alopecia areata, suggesting these modifications may lead to antibody induction in the condition.

In this study, Doublebase gel was more effective in maintaining and increasing skin hydration compared to Aqueous cream BP, with higher patient satisfaction and preference for future use.

This study evaluated azathioprine in treating alopecia areata and found that it was effective for 77.4% of patients, significantly reducing SALT scores after 6 months of treatment, with safety monitored through regular testing.
