This study found that ultraviolet-induced fluorescence dermoscopy enhanced the identification of follicular openings in alopecia areata, potentially aiding in the assessment of disease severity and treatment strategies.

This study found a recurrent nonsense mutation in the HR gene linked to atrichia with papular lesions in two Kashmiri families, suggesting whole exome sequencing as an efficient method for diagnosis and genetic counseling.

This study identified multiple mutations in the 5 alpha-reductase-2 gene among male pseudohermaphrodites in the Dominican Republic, suggesting they do not share a common ancestry.

Alopecia areata is caused by an immune response, and targeting immune cells might help treat it.

This study found a significant association between antigliadin antibodies (IgA and IgG) and alopecia areata severity, suggesting a need for celiac disease screening in these patients.

This study reported improvement in an 11-year-old boy with refractory alopecia areata after 4 months of treatment with oral abrocitinib, a JAK1 inhibitor, suggesting it may be a potential alternative for pediatric patients unresponsive to conventional therapies.

This article discusses dermatological issues associated with black skin, such as postinflammatory pigmentation and keloids, and highlights the need for practitioners to understand these racial characteristics; it reports no new clinical results.

This case study reported that a 62-year-old woman with alopecia areata experienced significant hair regrowth with completely non-pigmented white hair following a 2-month course of oral prednisolone.

Mother and son diagnosed with a rare genetic hair loss condition with no effective treatment.

In this study of alopecia areata patients, researchers reported that nail changes are significantly associated with severe disease, and dermoscopic analysis revealed a notable correlation between yellow dots and increased disease severity, with the condition primarily affecting young adults and more common in males.

This study identified a novel mutation in the coproporphyrinogen oxidase gene, contributing to hereditary coproporphyria in a family, with decreased enzyme activity observed in the affected members.

Scientists found gene mutations that affect hair loss, skin stem cells, and skin disorders, and identified drugs that may help treat blood vessel and skin conditions.

This article reports a case of a 19-month-old boy with scalp erythematous papules and hair loss, showing no improvement with initial treatment.

A rare skin condition causes red and dark patches on the face and limbs.

This study suggests that hairlessness in nude mice may be due to insufficient expression of phospholipase C-δ1, a molecule essential for normal hair development downstream of the Foxn1 gene.

This study found that in AGA, the risk allele at locus 2q35 alters WNT10A expression through EBF1, suggesting a potential androgen-dependent regulatory mechanism.

Dermoscopy quickly and accurately diagnosed a rare hair disorder in a 12-year-old girl.

This review details the global mutation patterns of genes associated with autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis and highlights potential, yet unproven, treatments like minoxidil and regenerative therapies, reporting no new clinical results.

A gene deletion in DSG4 causes sparse hair in some Pakistani families.

A specific RNA molecule blocks hair growth by affecting a protein related to hair loss conditions.

In this case report, a nine-year-old girl with both chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy and alopecia universalis showed improvement in muscle weakness and hair loss after treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin and corticosteroids.

This study identified novel LSS mutations implicated in hypotrichosis simplex with or without neurodevelopmental abnormalities, highlighting the need for careful evaluation of synonymous mutations' potential pathogenic effects.

A woman with severe hair loss regrew mostly white hair after treatment.

This study identified and described a new form of alopecia termed "macular alopecia," predominantly affecting young Hispanic/Latinx females, characterized by small macules on the scalp with a high rate (63%) of spontaneous resolution in about five months.

This study reported a case where cyclosporine treatment in a child led to remission of ulcerative colitis and regrowth of scalp and body hair, suggesting a possible connection between the disorders.

This case study of a 45-year-old man from Tonga describes the identification of pachyonychia congenita through genetic testing, revealing a mutation in the keratin gene KRT16, associated with chronic painful skin and nail conditions.

This review discusses the associations between nonscarring alopecia and conditions like vitiligo and autoimmune reactions, but reports no new clinical results.

Alopecia areata patients are more likely to develop keloids, especially if they also have atopic dermatitis.

This study investigated genetic markers for alopecia areata in the Turkish population, finding that the CT60 polymorphism might be linked to increased susceptibility, while no such association was found for the +49AG polymorphism; further studies are needed to confirm these findings.

CTA is often mistaken for AA but doesn't respond to steroids and may require hair transplantation.
