This review highlights that obsessive-compulsive disorder and body-focused repetitive behaviors are increasingly encountered in dermatology, often going undetected, and emphasizes the role of dermatologists in early identification and interdisciplinary treatment to address both physical and psychological aspects for improved outcomes.

This study observed that DNA damage response (DDR) plays a key role in pressure overload-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, with disruption of the ATM kinase pathway potentially modulating this hypertrophy in mice.

This study found that the expression levels of nucleolin, nucleophosmin, and UBTF genes were lower in normal sites compared to hair loss sites in males with alopecia.

Vitamin D3 affects cell differentiation in specific skin areas.

The AR gene is linked to male-pattern baldness, TNFSF4 to heart disease, SLC19A3 to BBGD, MCT8 to a syndrome, and segmental duplications to genetic variation.

This study described an Appenzeller Mountain Dog with clinical signs of an NSDHL defect, discovering a large heterozygous de novo deletion spanning the entire NSDHL gene through whole genome sequencing.

In preclinical studies, topical CUR61414 reduced Hh signaling and shrank BCCs in mice, but this study found no clinical efficacy in human superficial or nodular BCCs.

In this study, researchers observed temporary skin reactions at BCG vaccination sites following the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 mRNA vaccine in five patients, suggesting underreported occurrences.

This study observed that cultured dermal papilla cells showed distinct functional properties from dermal fibroblasts, including lower proliferation rates, higher adhesion to collagen type IV, and different cell-matrix interactions.

This study found that specific genes related to vascular endothelial growth factors are critical for feather maturity in certain chicken breeds, identifying key genetic markers that could enhance breeding efficiency.

Diphencyprone initially increases mouse hair growth, then slows it, possibly due to changes in specific protein levels.

In this study, researchers found that the loss of SETDB1 in epidermal keratinocytes led to altered chromatin states, increased ERV expression, and activation of immune responses, while inhibiting these effects with certain antiviral drugs reduced skin inflammation and hair loss in a mouse model.

This study suggests that FGF18 may enhance radioresistance in telogen hair follicles by inducing cell cycle arrest, potentially serving as a radioprotector against radiation-induced hair follicle damage.

This study found that valproic acid and crocin, alone or together, significantly increased the expression levels of neurotrophic factors in rat-derived epidermal neural crest stem cells, suggesting therapeutic potential for neurological disorders.

NF-κB activity is crucial for keeping hair in the growth phase.

In this study, Fgf20 was found to trigger movement and morphogenesis in dermal fibroblasts, facilitating dermal condensate formation essential for hair follicle development.

Zebrafish skin regeneration relies on cell behaviors and reactive oxygen species, with antioxidants reducing and hydrogen peroxide increasing regeneration.

The researchers reported that PEG-FGF2 conjugates, particularly Compound 6, significantly enhanced stability, proliferation, migration, and wound healing activity compared to native FGF2, despite some reduction in bioactivity near crucial binding domains.

This study found that Wnt1a overexpression from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells enhanced hair follicle regeneration in mice by promoting the dermal papilla's role in hair cycling and gene expression recovery.

In this summary, the researchers describe the Brazilian keratin treatment as a popular hair-straightening process that originated in Brazil in 2003 and has since gained global traction, particularly for smoothing and straightening curly or frizzy hair through a keratin-based product and heat application.

This study found that certain polymorphisms in EGF and EGFR genes may increase susceptibility to alopecia areata in the Korean population, and these genetic variations could be associated with specific symptoms such as nail involvement and body hair loss.

This study introduces a new test using a pendulum device to assess the bending stiffness of hair fibers, which can evaluate the effects of different hair treatments.

In a rabbit model, this study found that the AMFIBHA skin substitute promoted wound healing and regeneration of skin structures in large-area third-degree burn wounds, suggesting potential clinical use.

In this case report, researchers identified a potential adverse skin reaction, called SDRIFE or Baboon syndrome, caused by the drug tofacitinib in a 19-year-old woman being treated for alopecia subtotalis, leading the authors to recommend discontinuation of the drug.

This study found that biallelic mutations in the TTC7A gene affect lymphocyte and gut epithelial cell function, thereby contributing to the development of inflammatory bowel disease in patients.

This study found that Dock5 plays a crucial role in keratinocyte function and wound healing, with its expression reduced in diabetic models but improving healing when restored.

This study found that inhibiting DPP4 during a critical period post-wounding increases hair follicle regeneration and Wnt signaling in large skin wounds.

In this study, ectoderm-targeted transgenic mice with glucocorticoid receptor overexpression exhibited multiple epithelial defects, suggesting the role of NF-kappaB and p63 dysfunction in ectodermal dysplasia syndromes.
