In this study, researchers found significant associations between trichoscopic features and the severity of androgenetic alopecia in Korean participants, suggesting trichoscopy as a useful tool for early detection and monitoring by identifying indicators like vellus hairs and follicular unit changes.

This review highlights that iron deficiency is a significant yet often overlooked contributor to the development of immune-mediated inflammatory skin diseases, suggesting that iron dysregulation may drive inflammation and metabolic imbalances in conditions like psoriasis and atopic dermatitis.

In this study, the researchers found that cholinergic signaling via M4 muscarinic receptors influences hair growth, with enhanced elongation observed upon activation with bethanechol, highlighting its potential role in hair biology using mouse models.

This retrospective study at the University Clinical Centre in Gdańsk reported that 77.9% of patients with alopecia areata were treated with off-label pharmacotherapy, predominantly glucocorticosteroids, highlighting a reliance on these therapies in European clinical practice.

This study found that inhibiting the Hedgehog pathway may reduce proliferation and migration in melanoma, suggesting its potential repurposing as a therapeutic target.

This report presents a rare case where a patient with chronic urticaria developed alopecia areata during azathioprine therapy, accompanied by bone marrow suppression; these effects resolved after stopping the medication, suggesting a possible link between azathioprine and autoimmune activation despite its intended immunosuppressive use.

This study provides an overview of androgenetic alopecia in the USA, highlighting social determinants, differences in onset between genders, and how management varies by age and gender.

This review highlights the potential for using the Y chromosome in epigenetic analyses to better understand male-specific aging and disease mechanisms.

This article reviews the use of herbal ingredients in hair care products, highlighting their potential benefits for scalp health, hair growth, and condition, while also discussing challenges such as individual sensitivities and the importance of transparent labeling.

In this study, researchers found a significant association between the rs13405699 SNP at 2q31.1 and male pattern baldness among Han Chinese men, suggesting genetic influence on this condition in this population.

This study found that adenosine promotes hair growth by stimulating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway in cultured human dermal papilla cells through activation of the adenosine receptor.

This case report describes a patient who developed severe alopecia and a rash after increasing captopril dosage, which resolved upon discontinuing the medication.

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 case report describes a 5-year-old girl with atrichia with papular lesions, whose diagnosis was confirmed through genetic testing identifying mutations in the hairless gene.

This study describes a new mite species from marmots in a city park in Washington, noting that infested marmots displayed significant hair loss and tissue abnormalities.

This case report highlights a rare instance of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage in a patient with catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome, emphasizing the importance of early recognition and multidisciplinary management.

This study found that in hair follicles, androgen receptor expression is stronger in the hair loss and transitional areas compared to the occipital region, suggesting a role in male pattern baldness.

This study found that combining liposuction with diode laser ablation was effective in treating axillary osmidrosis, with high patient satisfaction and no significant complications reported over a 10-month follow-up period.

This review discusses the relevance of human androgen receptor action in sports doping and examines the potential of cell-based biological assays for detecting androgenic anabolic steroid use, without presenting new research findings.

This case study highlights congenital atrichia with papular lesions as a cause of total body hair loss, characterized by the absence of hair follicles and the presence of skin-colored papules.

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.

In this study, analysis of FDA data revealed a substantial risk of dermatologic adverse events with aromatase inhibitors, especially anastrozole and exemestane, highlighting the importance of dermatologic monitoring during such therapies.

In this review, the authors detailed various dermatologic adverse events associated with aromatase inhibitors in postmenopausal women and discussed strategies to potentially prevent these events, aiming to minimize interruptions in breast cancer treatment.

In this study, researchers found that the congenital absence of the palmaris longus muscle was relatively uncommon and showed no significant differences according to sex, side, or digit ratio (2D:4D) among individuals assessed using MRI and radiographs.

This study identified novel compound heterozygous mutations in the hairless gene among a non-consanguineous Chinese family with congenital atrichia, illustrating phenotypic variations due to founder or modifier genes.

This case report describes a 4-year-old boy with congenital alopecia characterized by complete irreversible hair loss and papular lesions associated with keratin-filled cysts.

This study identified pantolactam based compounds as effective topical antagonists of the androgen receptor, reducing sebum components in a hamster model.

This study demonstrated that AIRE-deficient rats exhibit key symptoms of APECED, making them a relevant model for exploring potential treatments.

This report discusses a case of a rare congenital neck mass called a "wattle" or congenital cervical tragus, emphasizing its histological features and its association with other branchial arch anomalies.

This study found that high skin expression of amphiregulin in acute graft-versus-host disease was associated with severe disease grade, poor overall survival, and increased non-relapse mortality.
