This study reported that alopecia occurred in 2.5% of patients with mycosis fungoides or Sézary syndrome, with some cases resembling alopecia areata and others associated with specific skin lesions.

This review examines the literature on laser hair removal to provide evidence-based guidelines for treatment intervals, pre- and post-treatment practices, and areas that should be avoided, but presents no new findings.

This study found that mice lacking alkaline ceramidase 1 with elevated skin ceramide levels showed disrupted skin homeostasis, including altered hair follicle structures, increased water loss, and a hypermetabolism phenotype.

This article reviews various topics discussed at a workshop on hair disorders, focusing on hair biology, diagnosis, and challenges in therapy evaluation, without presenting new clinical findings.

This study identified a nonsense mutation in the zinc-finger domain of the hairless gene associated with congenital atrichia in a Japanese family, indicating a potential genetic cause for this rare form of alopecia.

This study found that specific DNA variants in the TCHH, WNT10A, and FRAS1 genes are associated with predicting straight hair in Europeans, showing high sensitivity but low specificity, especially using a neural networks approach.

This study investigated a patient with spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy who had 68 CAG repeats, revealing early onset and unique symptoms not previously documented in the condition.

This study reports that TFM-4AS-1, a selective androgen receptor modulator, promoted bone and muscle growth with reduced effects on reproductive organs in ovariectomized rats.

This study observed a strong negative association between the HLA-DQB1*0201 allele and the alopecia totalis/alopecia universalis phenotype in Caucasian individuals, indicating a potential protective role.

This study found that healthcare workers with a positive COVID-19 test reported long COVID symptoms more frequently than negative controls, while prior physical activity was linked to reduced neurocognitive and fatigue symptoms.

This study found that transcription factors HOXC13, LEF1, and FOXN1 repress DSG4 transcription, with the Notch pathway possibly involved in maintaining DSG4 expression in hair follicles.

This study found that a novel effervescent formulation significantly increased minoxidil sulphate accumulation in hair follicles and skin compared to a standard minoxidil solution.

This study found that human hair follicle dermal cells, specifically dermal sheath cells, can serve as an alternative and potentially superior cell source for constructing the dermal component of bioengineered skin in both in vitro and in vivo settings.

This review discusses the use of finasteride for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia and highlights its potential for reducing prostate size, symptom control, and lowering the risk of surgery and urinary retention.

A specific gene mutation causes sparse, brittle hair in a family.

This study discusses the immune dysregulation observed in individuals with Down syndrome, highlighting their increased risk for autoimmune skin conditions, but does not yet clarify the molecular mechanisms behind this profile.

This article reviews central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, focusing on its multifactorial etiology and challenges in clinical diagnosis, and calls for more research and better treatment options.

This study found a significant shift to the telogen phase in the hair growth of children with classical marasmus compared to normal children, suggesting a connection to the chronicity of the condition.

This review discusses the changes in hair follicles with aging, particularly graying due to decreased melanocyte activity, and suggests potential for hair repigmentation under certain conditions, but reports no new results.

Oral dexamethasone may help regrow hair in adults with alopecia totalis and universalis.

This case study reports that a patient with extensive scalp scarring achieved an excellent cosmetic result when transplanted chest hair grew from an average of 4 cm at transplant to 15 cm after 18 months.

This study identified thousands of variant-metabolite associations in the human plasma metabolome, offering insights into the genetic bases of metabolism and potential adverse drug effects.

This review discusses recent findings on cellular antioxidant responses to oxidative stress and their implications for treating various human diseases but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses platelet-derived bio-products for tissue regeneration in various medical fields and reports no new clinical results; it highlights the need for a standardized classification to compare clinical outcomes effectively.

This study provides suggestive evidence that duplications in the MCHR2 gene may be involved in the pathogenesis of alopecia areata.

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

This study found that the loss of Smad4 in keratinocytes reduces Dsg4 expression via disrupted BMP signaling, contributing to hair follicle degeneration and alopecia.

This study identified overexpression of certain immune-related genes and underexpression of genes in specific signaling pathways in premature androgenetic alopecia, suggesting potential new therapeutic targets.

This study found that skin disorders are prevalent among elderly individuals and are often associated with underlying systemic diseases.

This study demonstrates that massage significantly enhances the follicular targeting of dutasteride-loaded nanocapsules, increasing drug accumulation in hair follicles by up to 5 times.
