This report describes two cases where acquired zinc deficiency was associated with skin symptoms like hair loss and eczema, suggesting a recognizable syndrome in zinc-deficient patients.

This study found that the use of hot combs with petrolatum in Black women causes irreversible alopecia limited to the crown of the scalp, resulting in follicular scarring.

This study found that neither a single application nor prolonged exposure to selenium sulfide had a significant effect on hair growth or rest phase percentages.

This study found that endothelin-1 increases adhesion and chemotaxis of amelanotic melanocytes on fibronectin, laminin, and collagen IV, potentially through changes in the actin cytoskeleton.

This study found that calcitriol-resistant rickets is associated with alopecia in children and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of hair loss.

This case report describes a 7-year-old boy with Netherton's syndrome, highlighting the identification of the tricorrhexis invaginata hair defect using a photographically illustrated scalp biopsy, which had not been visually documented before.

This article discusses the case of a patient on long-term renal dialysis with high serum vitamin A levels likely due to inadequate removal during dialysis, highlighting the need to reassess vitamin A supplementation in such patients.

This case report describes a 16-year-old girl with both tinea faciale and systemic lupus erythematosus, highlighting the challenges in differentiating overlapping dermatoses.

This case report describes a 5-year-old boy with a solitary patch of hair loss, indicating possible fungal involvement after initial antibiotic treatment was minimally effective.

This article reviews alopecia treatment and reports a case where hair regrew rapidly with prednisolone, but fell out again after stopping the medication; no new results are presented.

This study investigated various animal tissues from adult mice and embryonic chicks, finding that tissue stiffness follows a sub-linear power law relationship with Collagen-I levels, consistent with cellularized collagen gels but not acellular ones.

This article discusses a planned advertising campaign for topical minoxidil as a treatment for male pattern baldness and reports that it was significantly superior to placebo in clinical trials.

In this study, researchers developed a custom-designed 3D-printed microscope stage insert for inverted confocal microscopes, enhancing the accessibility of long-term intravital imaging of live cell dynamics in live transgenic mice, particularly in the skin.

This study found that modulating epithelial and mesenchymal cell interactions in vitro enabled nearly 100% efficient induction of hair follicles, suggesting potential applications for understanding and testing hair growth and graying.

This study found that injury-induced proliferation of wild-type cells can suppress oncogenic growth in Ras-mosaic skin.

This study found that targeting HSP70 can suppress basal cell carcinoma growth, underscoring the importance of tumor microenvironment interactions in cancer progression.

This letter reports that normal iron levels were observed in women with androgenetic alopecia, suggesting the condition may not be related to iron deficiency.

In this study, researchers explored ubiquitination patterns in healthy human skin and CYLD cutaneous syndrome tumors, identifying extensive ubiquitin sites and differential protein ubiquitination linked to tumor pathology, highlighting the role of ubiquitination in tissue architecture and disease mechanisms.

This study found that human dermal papilla cells are surrounded by a basement membrane-like extracellular matrix, which maintains their aggregated structure without strong cell‒cell contacts.

This study evaluated a herbal oil derived from plant extracts for hair growth, finding it significantly accelerated hair growth in an animal model compared to controls, suggesting it as a natural and safe alternative to synthetic treatments with minimized side effects.

This study proposes a model suggesting that the ratio of keratin 15 to keratin 14 in epidermal keratinocytes promotes a progenitor state and opposes differentiation, based on insights from both cell culture and transgenic mouse models.

In this mouse study, nitrate supplementation at 10mM was observed to significantly promote hair growth by increasing hair follicle number and dermis thickness, and it may work by activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and inhibiting TGF-β1 signaling.

This study found that gap junctional communication influences feather patterning by modulating Turing-type activator-inhibitor systems in chicken skin, suggesting its role in propagating inhibitory signals crucial for pattern formation.

In this study, researchers observed that blood vessel maturation in mice involves neonatal endothelial cells expanding the capillary network through vessel regression and angiogenesis, with adult cells later maintaining stability and repair through specific signaling pathways.

This study reports that fly blood progenitors in a long-term organ culture model undergo symmetric cell divisions influenced by cell size and orientation, with infection triggering changes in cell differentiation kinetics.

This study found that new folate salts in aqueous and lipophilic solutions can penetrate skin and enhance wound healing in vitro by converting metabolically, suggesting their potential for topical application.

This paper discusses the various causes and types of alopecia and presents no original research findings.

This study concluded that ethanolic extract of Morinda may enhance hair growth in male rabbits.

This study clarified and quantified the concept of hair transparency using a validated mathematical model based on measurable hair properties and consumer perception data from stylists in Japan and China.

This study found that the absence of unliganded vitamin D receptor significantly impairs cWnt and hedgehog signaling pathways necessary for hair cycle initiation in VDR-null mice.
