This study reports a novel LSS gene mutation in an Egyptian family with alopecia intellectual disability syndrome 4, expanding the known clinical and genetic features of the condition.

This thesis examines the medicalization of the male and female body from the 19th century to the present, highlighting how biomedicine has shaped norms around health and illness.

Nephronectin helps attach muscle cells to hair follicles.

This study found that sympathetic nerves and arrector pili muscles form a niche that modulates hair follicle stem cell activity, revealing their role in hair follicle regeneration.

This study found that in androgenic alopecia, the arrector pili muscle degenerates and is replaced by fat, unlike in normal skin or telogen effluvium.

This study presents a new model for androgenetic alopecia progression, explaining diffuse hair loss in women through 3D reconstructions of the arrector pili muscle and its relationship with the hair follicle stem cell niche.

This review summarizes the anatomy and physiology of the arrector pili muscle and discusses its potential role in hair loss disorders, reporting no new clinical results.

This study found that loss of contact between the arrector pili muscle and the hair follicle bulge may explain why hair loss in male and female pattern baldness is largely irreversible, unlike in alopecia areata.

This study revealed that in androgenic alopecia, the proximal attachment of the arrector pili muscle to the hair follicle is often lost or significantly reduced.

This study discovered that adipose tissue infiltration at the isthmus level appears significantly more often in frontal fibrosing alopecia cases compared to controls, suggesting a potential role in the condition's pathology.

This study found that epidermal stem cells in nonglabrous skin are connected to the distal end of the arrector pili muscle, which may play a role in epidermal renewal and wound healing.

Androgenetic alopecia may be irreversible due to the detachment of a muscle from hair follicles.

This review discusses genetic conditions linked to complete scalp alopecia in children, identifying six genetic causes, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that iontophoresis significantly enhances the skin penetration of magnesium salt of L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate, especially in hairy mice, compared to passive diffusion.

This review discusses androgenetic alopecia and reports no clinical findings; the authors highlight a need for further research.

This study hypothesizes that the curling of hair may result from the contraction of the Arrector Pili Muscle, contributing to the diverse types of curly hair.

This study hypothesizes that curly hair is shaped by the contraction of the Arrector Pili Muscle within the follicle, potentially modifiable through muscle-relaxing treatments, but further research is needed to confirm this mechanism.

In this research, the author hypothesizes that curly hair is influenced by the contraction of the Arrector Pili muscle, suggesting that its relaxation through specific treatments could potentially modulate hair follicle curvature, but further studies are needed to confirm this mechanism.

This study, involving an international panel of 16 psychodermatology experts, proposed a new classification system for psychodermatology disorders that aims to unify previous classifications and improve their management by systematizing disorders into two main categories: primary mental health disorders and primary skin disorders.

This review describes three mouse models using fluorescent proteins to image tumor angiogenesis in real-time, but reports no new clinical results.

This review describes the development of three mouse models using fluorescent proteins to visualize and study angiogenesis in tumors, particularly detailing interactions between tumor cells and the surrounding stroma.

This report observed that repeated stellate ganglion blocks over six years were associated with improved skin elasticity, increased water content, and more hair follicles on the treated side of a patient's face.

This study found that ultra-pulse CO2 fractional laser treatment improved skin smoothness and total skin lesion scores more effectively in patients with depressed acne scars compared to other treatments.

This review explores the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in musculoskeletal recovery, detailing its history, mechanism, and clinical applications, but reports no new clinical findings.

This review examines the incidence and management of dermatologic adverse effects from FDA-approved oral targeted cancer therapies, highlighting frequent occurrences like rashes and rarer severe conditions such as Stevens-Johnson Syndrome.

In this clinical study, plum blossom needle acupuncture and qi-invigorating therapy were reported to be more effective than conventional Western medicine for treating seborrheic alopecia, as they improved hormone levels, reduced hair loss, and stimulated hair growth among the 87 patients observed.

This meta-analysis found that plum-blossom needling, as an add-on therapy, provided moderate beneficial effects on hair regrowth in alopecia areata patients compared to conventional treatment alone.

This study found that immunohistochemical markers like ER, PgR, b-catenin, p21, and Ki-67 showed significant expression changes after progesterone therapy in women with endometrial hyperplasia without atypia, suggesting their potential as diagnostic and prognostic markers.

This article provides a review of alopecia areata, highlighting the development of diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms that consider factors such as age, disease severity, and quality of life, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study reports that pediatric alopecia areata in Faisalabad predominantly affects boys, often involves the scalp, and is significantly associated with family history of psoriasis and atopic disorders.
