This study identified a cluster of genes on chromosome 17 related to hair keratin-associated proteins, including 37 genes forming seven multigene families, localized in the hair shaft's upper cortex.

This study found that central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia primarily affects adult women of African descent and suggests an association with traumatic hair care practices and delayed diagnosis.

This study found no association between the -866G/A polymorphism in the UCP2 gene and the development of polycystic ovary syndrome.

In this study, researchers found that AP-2α and AP-2β are critical for maintaining epidermal homeostasis in adult skin, with their combined loss leading to severe skin and hair abnormalities and early skin inflammation due to impaired keratinocyte differentiation.

In this case report, researchers described a treatment for post-aplasia cutis congenita alopecia using follicular unit transplantation, platelet-rich plasma, and fat grafting, which significantly improved hair follicles, skin quality, and sensitivity in the affected scalp area.

This study found that the co-activator CBP enhances the agonistic action of hydroxyflutamide on androgen receptors, suggesting a mechanism for therapy resistance in prostate cancer.

This case report describes a 27-year-old male with autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1, characterized by symptoms including fever, dysarthria, dysphagia, oral candidiasis, nail dystrophy, alopecia, hypoparathyroidism, and dilated cardiomyopathy. The study highlights unique bilateral symmetrical brain calcifications and underscores the syndrome’s diverse manifestations.

In this study, researchers identified a recurrent MBTPS2 splice-site variant as a mutational hotspot in IFAP syndrome across diverse families, with phenotype severity suggesting the influence of additional modifiers.

This study reports that platelet-rich plasma therapy resulted in temporary hair growth in patients with stabilized Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia.

This study found that contrast enhanced phototrichogram (CE-PTG) significantly improved detection of various hair types and growth stages in androgenetic alopecia compared to standard PTG and was comparable to biopsy analysis.

This study suggests that congenital atrichia with papular lesions may be more common than previously thought and proposes diagnostic criteria including the observation of hypopigmented whitish streaks on the scalp.

This report details the case of an 11-year-old girl with APECED syndrome carrying a unique homozygous mutation in the AIRE gene, the first of its kind documented.

This study observed four consanguineous families with congenital atrichia with papular lesions and identified three novel mutations in the hairless gene, which may contribute to the disorder.

This study found that the oral Janus kinase inhibitor CP-690,550 has a direct effect on reducing pruritus in patients with psoriasis, independent of clinician-assessed improvements in psoriasis severity.

This study predicted that key components of Platycladi Cacumen, such as quercetin and apigenin, may have stable binding interactions with targets involved in androgenetic alopecia.

This study provides evidence that ILC1-like cells can induce alopecia areata in previously healthy human hair follicles, challenging the view that it is solely an autoantigen-dependent autoimmune disease.

Diphencyprone treatment protocols could be simplified as no harm occurred despite not fully following them.

This study found that serum APN levels were inversely related to insulin resistance in women with PCOS, suggesting that APN could serve as a clinical marker for insulin resistance in this population.

This survey found support among BAAPS members for using procedure-specific consent forms to improve clarity and consistency in patient information for aesthetic procedures.

This study identified 16 novel high sulfur KAP genes and two KAP pseudogenes on chromosome 21q23, showing expression in a specific region of the hair fiber cuticle.

In this study, most surveyed physicians were aware of the meningioma risk linked to cyproterone acetate monotherapy, but many did not recall receiving updated safety communications.

This case report describes a patient in whom vitiligo was induced by diphenylcyclopropenone treatment for alopecia universalis, highlighting the potential overlap of susceptibility genes between the two conditions.

This study identified numerous size polymorphisms in the human ultrahigh sulfur KAP4 genes due to intragenic sequence variations, suggesting these polymorphisms may have arisen through deletions and duplications during evolution.

This article reviews central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, including its various forms and potential multifactorial causes, but provides no new clinical findings.

This meta-analysis reported a significant association between vitamin D receptor gene ApaI polymorphism and polycystic ovary syndrome risk, with variations observed between Asian and Caucasian populations.

This abstract contains subscription and access information for Wolters Kluwer Health journals but reports no research findings.

This study suggests that alkaline phosphatase-regulated expression of CCL5 contributes to the trichogenicity of human dermal papilla spheres.

This study developed a highly sensitive fluorescent assay for measuring enzyme activity in single hair follicles, allowing the efficient analysis of over 100 samples per day.

This review discusses the challenges in diagnosing primary cicatricial alopecias and explores how improved communication and digital pathology could enhance diagnosis, but it reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the evaluation, clinical presentation, and cutaneous manifestations of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, focusing on differential diagnosis challenges with polycystic ovary syndrome, and reports no new clinical findings.
