This study identified histologic lesions and a defect in adhesion molecules causing hair loss in mice with the bal mutation, linked to a mutation in the desmoglein 3 gene.

This study found that topical diphenylcyclopropenone was effective in treating severe alopecia areata but had a high relapse rate and was often accompanied by side effects like eczema and lymphadenopathy.

This review discusses stem cell therapy as a promising treatment for epidermolysis bullosa, highlighting preliminary successes in treating skin lesions but noting the need for further research on effectiveness and safety.

This study found that disrupting Lm332 expression in mice changes keratinocyte genetic expression, alters cell shape, and disrupts epidermal homeostasis, despite some compensatory anchorage by hair follicle basal cells.

Norfolk Terriers have a genetic skin defect causing scaling and blisters due to a keratin issue.

This case study in an 8-month-old mixed-breed dog with symptoms and histopathological findings supports a diagnosis of hereditary junctional epidermolysis bullosa, although specific genetic mutations weren't identified.

Cocaine use can cause a blistering skin disease.

In this study, KC-AD-MSCs were found to increase COL7 deposition and anchoring fibril formation at the dermal-epidermal junction in a RDEB mouse model, suggesting potential for improving skin integrity in recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa patients.

This case report describes a patient with mucous membrane pemphigoid who experienced recurrent blisters and cicatricial alopecia, showing improvement with prednisolone and dapsone treatment.

This study found that absence of α3 integrin in mice led to faster wound healing but also caused inflammation, hair loss, and skin defects, suggesting complex roles in skin integrity and repair.

In this case study, two middle-aged patients with pruritic scalp erosions were diagnosed with localized pemphigus vulgaris, which resolved without relapse after treatment with low-dose oral prednisone and intralesional triamcinolone acetonide.

In this study, mesenchymal stem cell-conditioned medium gel significantly improved wound healing and accelerated hair growth in rats with third-degree burns compared to a placebo, silver sulfadiazine, or no treatment.

In this study, researchers examined the skin of Baikal seals, identifying two main skin pathologies potentially linked to global warming and an unknown viral pathogen, suggesting immune inflammatory processes associated with environmental changes may be affecting these seals.

Negative Pressure Wound Therapy reduces surgical site infections and speeds up healing.

This study investigated the skin of 12 Baikal seals and identified two main skin pathologies potentially linked to global warming and changes in Lake Baikal's ice regime, including koilocytosis and inflammation associated with a possible viral pathogen.

New findings on hair keratin, wound healing, and skin blistering were presented.

A woman with a rare autoimmune disorder had a blister on her eye and unique immune reaction, which was effectively treated with medication.

A woman's skin symptoms led to a diagnosis of systemic AL amyloidosis, but she died from sepsis shortly after.

In this study, researchers found that in growing skin tissue, epidermal wound healing occurs at the expense of normal skin development, as it impairs hair follicle growth and does not activate tissue morphogenesis genes.

The document concluded that stem cells are crucial for skin repair, regeneration, and may help in developing advanced skin substitutes.

In this study, injecting Fetuin A into embryonic mouse wounds led to scar formation, suggesting the protein may play a role in scar development by promoting collagen production.

This study found that male and female chicken feather morphology and color patterns can be extrinsically modified through molting and resetting the stem cell niche during regeneration.

This report examines efforts to enhance the efficacy of topical steroids for alopecia areata using penetration-enhancing vehicles and exceptionally high concentrations, noting systemic steroids often lead to relapses and toxicity.

This observational study reports a striking correlation between the use of henna hair dye and a specific pattern of hair loss, termed "hennapecia," but calls for experimental research to determine causality.

This report details a case of dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa in a 37-year-old male with a recessive mutation in the CLO7A1 gene, affecting type VII collagen.

A woman developed a severe skin reaction called toxic epidermal necrolysis after taking the antibiotic cephalexin.

Certain skin diseases are linked to Agent Orange and similar chemicals; veterans should be screened and informed about uncertain risks, and current data doesn't link spironolactone with breast cancer.

In this review, the authors summarize classical and recent insights into the biology and treatment of hypertrophic scars and keloids, concluding that while understanding and strategies have advanced, effective prevention and treatments remain unsatisfactory.

This review discusses various surgical techniques for vitiligo repigmentation, noting that suction blister and split-thickness skin grafting have the highest success rates according to previous analysis, but reports no new results.

This study found that in skin blister healing, hair follicle development is compromised as stem cells repair wounds at the expense of morphogenesis gene expression.
