This case report documents a young woman who experienced a visual field defect similar to those linked to vigabatrin use, despite treatment only with valproic acid and carbamazepine, suggestive of a possible metabolic vulnerability in certain patients with specific genetic backgrounds.

A new mouse mutation causes skin and hair issues, influenced by another gene.

The BEARD Score helps assess beard hair loss in alopecia areata for better treatment.

This article summarizes a meeting of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery's Board of Directors to discuss future plans, but does not report new experimental results.

This study in Morocco found that all women with frontal fibrosing alopecia presented frontotemporal hairline recession, with trichoscopic features such as perifollicular erythema and follicular hyperkeratosis being indicative of the condition, and suggested a potential link between cosmetic products or emotional factors and the disease.

This study reported that BRL 7660 significantly reduced sebum secretion and acne symptoms in human studies with topical administration, but the placebo effect and commercial pressures halted further investigations.

This study suggests that linalool, a common allergen in personal care products, may contribute to frontal fibrosing alopecia pathogenesis by triggering immune responses and depleting hair follicle stem cells, especially in sensitized individuals.

This article discusses the characteristics and pathogenesis of pseudofolliculitis barbae, particularly its prevalence in men of African and Asian descent, but presents no new research findings.

This case study suggests that patients with acquired progressive kinking of the hair may benefit from finasteride treatment due to an increased risk of developing androgenetic alopecia.

This research suggests that the barley protein RACB supports cell polarity functions rather than interfering with immunity, as it aids nucleus positioning during fungal attack rather than affecting early immune responses.

This paper compiles previously observed similarities in biomagnetic fields emitted by human hair and mouse vibrissa follicles, with findings supporting distinctive patterns of biomagnetic activity skewed to one side.

This study found that essential fatty acid deficiency in rabbits leads to significant degeneration of gonadal tissue, possibly due to impaired anterior pituitary gland function.

This report describes two unusual cases of frontal fibrosing alopecia in men, highlighting potential vaccine-related immune triggers and genetic factors, especially regarding the pronounced facial papular phenotype observed.

This study found that Hoxc13-/- rabbits exhibit complete hair loss on the head and dorsum, providing a potential model for understanding human ECTD-9 and related dermatological conditions.

This study reports an abnormal onion-shaped swelling on the hair shafts of some Abyssinian cats, affecting the appearance of their coat, though skin and hair structures appear normal under the microscope.

This review covers the molecular basis of Birt–Hogg–Dubé syndrome and its implications for potential therapeutic targets, but it does not report new experimental results.

In this study, the researchers found that an increased number of hairs less than 40 microns in diameter per cm² was associated with androgenic alopecia in both men and women.

Mutations in the ACTB gene cause Becker’s nevi and may lead to muscle issues in Becker’s nevus syndrome.

This article reviews Becker's nevus syndrome, covering its symptoms, causes, and cosmetic treatment options, without presenting new clinical findings.

The study concluded that a 'Swiss cheese' pattern in hair follicles is a useful sign for diagnosing alopecia areata.

This article reviews the causes and clinical presentation of pseudofolliculitis barbae, highlighting how genetic susceptibility and hair removal practices contribute to its development, but reports no new research findings.

This study found that BBS7 downregulation in occlusal hypofunctional periodontal ligament tissue is associated with reduced Sonic hedgehog signaling activity, potentially playing a key role in maintaining PDL homeostasis.

This study in mutant mice found that Bmpr2 and Acvr2a are individually redundant, but together essential for normal hair follicle development, with their reduction causing rapid hair cycling and graying.

This abstract introduces baricitinib as an approved treatment for adults with severe alopecia areata in the US, Europe, and Japan, but does not report any specific study results or findings.

This review discusses the causes and diagnosis of traction alopecia, emphasizing education for high-risk populations as there is currently no cure, and presents no new clinical findings.

This report documents follicular dysplasia with pigmentary changes in two adult cows, contributing to the understanding of this rare condition in cattle.

Researchers found an RNA transcript that might help control a growth factor linked to tumor development.

This study found that Florida manatees have unique types of specialized nerve endings in their vibrissae, which assist in their sensory and manipulative functions in aquatic environments.

This study found that tofacitinib and baricitinib, when administered with unorthodox weight-stratified dosing in pediatric patients with moderate-to-severe AA, showed comparable efficacy and tolerability, though baricitinib's efficacy decreased with non-standard dosing.

This study suggests that acquired progressive kinking of hair, which typically appears at or after puberty, may be androgen dependent and could progress to male pattern baldness.
