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 suggests that the hydrogel nanoparticle formulation of hair growth-promoting compounds may enhance hair follicle penetration and induce hair growth in tested models, demonstrating its potential as a hair growth treatment.

In this study, high concentrations of dihydrotestosterone and testosterone reduced the growth of human hair follicle cells in vitro, while high estradiol levels increased their growth.

This review discusses hair abnormalities in various epidermolysis bullosa subtypes and reports no new clinical findings.

This study indicates that the OVOL1-OVOL2 axis may play a significant role in hair follicle differentiation and growth, potentially serving as therapeutic targets for hair disorders like alopecia and in the tumorigenesis of pilomatricoma.

This paper describes a case of epidermolysis bullosa simplex with muscular dystrophy associated with a novel PLEC mutation and diffuse alopecia, highlighting a potential genetic link that remains uncertain.

This study suggests that pilomatricoma can differentiate towards various hair follicle structures, including hair matrix, hair cortex, follicular infundibulum, outer root sheath, and hair bulge.

In this study, a genetic analysis identified a pathogenic variant in the ALOXE3 gene associated with non-bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma, and the patient's response to antifungal treatment highlights the risk of cutaneous fungal infections.

Epidermolysis bullosa in calves was not caused by mutations in the keratin genes bKRT5 and bKRT14.

This study reports a novel homozygous mutation in the DST gene causing a unique form of epidermolysis bullosa simplex with prurigo papules in a 39-year-old Syrian man.

This report describes a rare case of epidermolysis bullosa acquisita in a child developing during therapy with squaric acid dibutyl ester for alopecia areata, suggesting a possible link between the medication and disease onset.

This review explores epidermolysis bullosa simplex subtypes caused by mutations in KRT5 or KRT14 and summarizes gene expression patterns and molecular mechanisms, without presenting new experimental results.

This review highlights promising recent advances in therapies for epidermolysis bullosa, including gene therapy and stem cell approaches, but reports no definitive cures and emphasizes the need for further research.

This study found that epidermal growth factor and fibroblast growth factor accelerated proliferation of human hair bulb papilla cells and root sheath fibroblasts cultured in vitro.

In this study, follicular unit extraction grafting using a patient's own scalp follicles showed promise in healing chronic ulcers in a woman with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa.

This study found that the ID2 gene was highly expressed in bulge-derived keratinocytes when exposed to contact sensitizers and may serve as a marker to distinguish sensitizers from irritants during in vitro testing.

This study found that pigmented hair-thickening fibers improved the appearance of scalp alopecia in patients with epidermolysis bullosa, although they may cause pruritus and should be used cautiously.

This study found that epidermal-specific deletion of integrin α3β1 significantly reduces papilloma formation in a skin carcinogenesis model by modulating HB stem cell behavior and CCN2 expression.

This study found that testosterone and dihydrotestosterone inhibit the growth rates of hair bulb papilla cells and root sheath fibroblasts, especially at higher doses, while estradiol was ineffective.

This study reports that analyzing the clinical manifestations of different genetic variants in EBS families helps predict disease progression and severity, guide complication risk assessment, and plan necessary medical care.

This study found that epidermolysis bullosa simplex keratinocytes had impaired mitochondrial activity and more dispersed mitochondrial distribution compared to normal human keratinocytes.

This study found that a 12-week supplementation with MePL, a solution of miliacin encapsulated within polar lipids, significantly reduced hair density in the telogen phase and improved scalp dryness and hair brightness in women with telogen effluvium.

This letter to the editor discusses the natural course of epidermolysis bullosa simplex with mottled pigmentation in a Japanese family but does not present new clinical results.

This study concluded that the inner root sheath inhibits the expression of certain differentiation markers in hair bulbs, with calcium-induced changes paralleling those seen in hair follicle mid-segments.

This study reports that the peptide GPIGS, found in Bacillus sp. M18 conditioned medium, may promote hair growth through the PI-3K/Akt pathway and accelerate hair regrowth in mice.

This study concluded that a liquid serum formulation delivered two fluorescent dyes to deeper follicular regions more effectively than nanoparticle systems.

This correspondence describes two patients with both epidermolysis bullosa simplex, Dowling-Meara type, and loose anagen hair syndrome, an association not previously reported in the literature.

In this study, researchers observed that more hairs are extracted from the follicle with intact root bulbs than breakage occurring along the fiber in treated versus untreated hair.

This case study reports that a woman with epidermolysis bullosa acquisita experienced severe cicatricial alopecia and total nail loss after discontinuing treatment for two years, highlighting the potential for serious effects if the condition is not managed.

In this study, all 26 patients with epidermolysis bullosa were found to have extensive dental caries, with various dental and oral complications varying by EB type, due in part to inadequate oral care and associated physical limitations.
