This review discusses fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution and highlights diagnostic features, but reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize the value of trichoscopy and histology in diagnosis.

THAP1 gene changes do not affect DYT1 dystonia; finasteride may help reduce tics and OCD in Tourette syndrome.

In this study, 4‐MAPC treatment reduced ventral prostate weight in rats primarily through decreased synthetic activity, with testosterone propionate increasing prostate weight and activity at pharmacologic doses.

ABS-201 may effectively promote hair growth in men by targeting the prolactin receptor.

This research investigated the role of EphA1 in embryonic and adult tissues, generating mouse models suggesting potential links to skin and colon cancer, sepsis, and post-traumatic injury.

This study identified that the Wave complex proteins ABI1 and Wave2 play a crucial role in regulating epidermal shape and growth during skin development, notably influencing SOX9 expression and Wnt signaling pathways.

This study suggests that canonical BMP signaling, particularly involving Smad1 and Smad5, plays a critical role in hair follicle stem cell regulation and hair morphogenesis, with distinct roles from pSmad8.

This study found that overexpressing the PCaP2 protein in Arabidopsis enhanced drought tolerance by influencing ABA and SA signaling pathways and regulating root hair growth, suggesting a key role in water deficit response.

In this study, Dsc 1 was highly expressed in certain layers of fetal epidermis and hair follicle but not in basal cells or oral mucosa, indicating its potential role in maintaining epithelial integrity.

This study found that keratin 15 lacks the ability to sequester YAP1 in keratinocytes effectively, unlike keratin 14, and suggests that a higher K15:K14 ratio may promote a progenitor state and inhibit differentiation in epidermal keratinocytes.

This study identified novel 4-Amino-2H-benzo[h]chromen-2-one analogs as potent androgen receptor antagonists that show strong antiproliferative activity against prostate cancer cells, suggesting them as potential lead compounds for therapy development.

This study found that the ARL15 gene affects adipocyte differentiation and adiponectin secretion, and suggests that ARL15 haploinsufficiency may predispose individuals to lipodystrophy.

This study found that apocynin restored collagen production, reduced DNA damage and senescence, and protected skin stem cells from aging in UVB-exposed human keratinocytes.

This case study highlights the complexity of managing autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1, emphasizing the need for thorough clinical history, high suspicion for early diagnosis, and continuous long-term follow-up.

PDE inhibitors, especially PDE4 inhibitors like apremilast, are effective for certain inflammatory skin conditions but have side effects and can be costly.

This study found that upadacitinib significantly improved hair regrowth compared to placebo in adults and adolescents with severe alopecia areata, and demonstrated a positive benefit-risk profile.

In this study, researchers identified a putative ovine KAP24-1 gene in sheep, revealing four unique DNA sequences with some similarity to KRTAP24-1 sequences from other species.

This study found that TPA induces apoptosis in pig renal epithelial cells by affecting cell cycle proteins, and activated ras can prevent this process.

This study found that 17β-estradiol was the most powerful hormone for inducing APE1/Ref-1 secretion in cultured vascular endothelial cells, with secretion occurring through exosomes dependent on estrogen receptors and intracellular calcium.

This study found that keratinocyte stem cells in mouse skin are closely related to side population or BCRP1-positive cells based on their localization and marker expression.

Blocking CYP17A1 enzyme may help improve certain brain function issues related to dopamine.

This study found significant changes in gene expression related to skin structure and signaling pathways in AEC syndrome skin, offering new insights into the syndrome's molecular underpinnings.

This study found that pelage abnormalities in Harlequin mutant mice are linked to severe AIF deficiency and associated with altered expression of genes related to hair structure.

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.

Apremilast was not effective in treating moderate-to-severe alopecia areata.

This study found that the enzyme A20 helps regulate EDAR-induced NF-κB signaling in mice, preventing ectodermal abnormalities like disheveled hair and assuring proper skin and appendage development.

In this case report, a 67-year-old Thai woman exhibited isolated cheilitis due to actinic prurigo—an unusual presentation in Asian patients—successfully treated with topical hydrocortisone and sun protection, highlighting the need to consider actinic prurigo in chronic lip lesion diagnoses even with normal phototesting results.

This study found that ANXA1 may influence hair growth in mice by regulating hair follicle stem cell proliferation through the EGF signaling pathway.

This case report suggests acitretin as a potential treatment for pseudoainhum, following the successful resolution of the condition in a patient with palmoplantar keratoderma and congenital alopecia.

This study observed that apremilast treatment improved skin lesions and reduced pruritus in patients with chronic, severe atopic dermatitis and one case of hand and foot dermatitis.
