This study suggests that coexisting LSS and TSPEAR variants might contribute to a complex phenotype of congenital hypotrichosis and ectodermal abnormalities in a child, and highlights the need for cautious interpretation of genotype-phenotype links and the potential value of broader genetic testing.

This study in male rats identified a unique type of mechanoreceptor, the club-like ending, which responds only to touch and not to self-motion during whisking, contrasting with other receptors that show mixed selectivity.

This study found that combining topical calcipotriol with intralesional autologous PRP injection significantly reduced Severity of Alopecia Tool scores in patients with alopecia areata, more effectively than either treatment alone.

In this in-vitro study, neem leaf extract, combined with oils from Eucalyptus citriodora and Cymbopogon martini, inhibited dermatophyte growth responsible for tinea capitis, showing potential for developing a treatment formulation against the infection.

In this study, Trichophyton tonsurans and Microsporum canis were identified as the primary causes of tinea capitis, with terbinafine treatment showing the highest cure rate. Non-commercial kits surpassed real-time PCR commercial kits in specificity and sensitivity for diagnosis.

This study reviewed medical records of tinea capitis patients at a clinic in Surabaya, finding that the condition predominantly affected young males and was often associated with contact with cats.

In this case report, an 8-year-old child with tinea capitis caused by Microsporum canis showed significant clinical and mycological improvement after a four-week course of oral griseofulvin, highlighting the importance of comprehensive diagnostic examinations to confirm the diagnosis and determine the best treatment.

This study discovered that the gene Tfap2b identifies a melanocyte stem cell population in zebrafish, essential for regenerating melanocytes with multi-fate potential into adult pigment cells.

This article describes how recognizing distinct trichoscopic features aids in diagnosing various dermatological conditions and hair loss, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study observed that grey patch is the most common variant of tinea capitis in northeastern India, with T. violaceum being the predominant fungal isolate.

This case report describes successful treatment of a four-year-old boy with kerion-type tinea capitis caused by T. mentagrophytes using griseofulvin, erythromycin, wet dressing, and ketokonazole shampoo, with improvement after 8 weeks.

In this expert consensus, the authors aimed to address the challenges of diagnosing and treating uncommon dermatophytoses due to their distinct characteristics and lack of standardized protocols, by providing scientific guidance on their epidemiology, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment.

This review explores skin manifestations associated with autoimmune liver diseases and highlights known and probable links, such as vitiligo's strong association with autoimmune hepatitis.

This paper reviews existing research on the cosmetic benefits of hemp-derived cannabinoids for skin and hair, highlighting their unique mechanisms of action, while discussing formulation, legal, and regulatory challenges associated with using these compounds in cosmetic products.

This review summarizes research on cannabinoids like CBD and THCV, reporting that they improve hair growth in patients with androgenetic alopecia when applied topically, with CBD showing a dose-dependent effect.

This review examines advancements in "smart" hydrogel dressings for complex wound healing, highlighting innovations in materials that provide multifunctionality, such as responsive drug delivery and regenerative capabilities. The study also addresses potential challenges in clinical application, like manufacturing and regulatory hurdles.

This article reviews the design and objectives of the Rotterdam Study, as well as summarizes major findings, without reporting new results.

This article outlines the rationale and design of the Rotterdam Study, summarizes its major findings, and updates its objectives and methods; it reports no new research results.

This article outlines the rationale, design, major findings, and updated objectives of the ongoing Rotterdam Study, without presenting new research data.

This study found that fibroblast growth factor 9, initially secreted by γδ T cells, plays a key role in modulating hair follicle regeneration in mice after skin wounds.

This review discusses recent advances in skin penetration mechanisms, specifically focusing on the enhanced understanding of the follicular pathway and its implications for transdermal therapies, immune system targeting, and nanoparticle safety.

This study found that overexpression of activin in transgenic mice led to enhanced granulation tissue formation after skin injury due to changes in keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation.

In this study, researchers identified 18 genetic associations with scalp and facial hair traits in Latin Americans, including novel loci for hair greying and balding, with implications for understanding hair evolution.

This study found that the HairMax LaserComb® significantly increased hair density and was safe and well tolerated for treating androgenetic alopecia in men compared to a sham device.

Dermatoscopy and videodermatoscopy are useful for diagnosing and monitoring various skin, hair, and nail conditions.

Male hormones affect COVID-19 severity and certain drugs targeting these hormones could help reduce the risk.

This study identified a genetic locus associated with idiopathic scoliosis in females, which might influence spinal gene expression and was previously linked to protection from early-onset alopecia.

This systematic review reports that "COVID toes" and other skin manifestations can be initial signs of COVID-19, and advises immunosuppressive therapy adjustments only for infected or at-risk patients.

In this study, latanoprost significantly increased hair density in young men with mild androgenetic alopecia after 24 weeks, suggesting it may stimulate hair follicle activity and treat hair loss.

This study found that blue light at a wavelength of 453 nm promoted hair growth ex vivo, potentially through interacting with OPN3 receptors in human hair follicles.
