This review discusses central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, its similarities to lichen planopilaris, and emphasizes the need for further research due to its underdiagnosis and impact on African-descended women.

This study found that the wavy coat trait in Nakano cataract mice is polygenic, involving major and minor genes, and resembles human curly scalp hair associated with the PRSS53 gene alteration.

This study identified elevated CD25 on secreting CD4 regulatory T cells as a genetic risk factor for androgenetic alopecia, with certain plasma proteins acting as mediators in this causal relationship.

This study found that Yangxuebushen Decoction significantly promoted hair regrowth and improved hair follicle structure in a cyclophosphamide-induced alopecia mouse model by reducing inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis.

This study demonstrated that incorporating PDA@Ag nanoparticles into a cationic guar gum hydrogel significantly enhanced photothermal conversion efficiency, achieving superior antibacterial efficacy both in vitro and in vivo, advancing the potential of PDA as a photothermal antibacterial agent.

This study observed significant differences in hair and cashmere properties among three goat breeds in Southwest China, noting better quality cashmere in Inner Mongolia cashmere goats and their crossbreed compared to Dazu black goats.

This report documents a case of Cronkhite-Canada Syndrome in a 56-year-old Laotian man, who successfully improved with vitamin supplementation and medical treatment after experiencing weight loss, alopecia, and gastrointestinal polyposis.

In this case study, treatment with cabergoline in a diabetic cat with hyperadrenocorticism was associated with diabetic remission and improved clinical signs.

In this study, researchers conducting a genome-wide association study on 263 adult female goats identified significant genomic variants linked to coarse hair diameter, particularly emphasizing a crucial region on Chromosome 10. These findings enhance understanding of the genetic factors influencing fiber diameter in goats.

This study developed and validated a Gas Chromatography-Flame Ionization Detection method for assessing minoxidil, which shows good precision, accuracy, and specificity for quality control and pharmacokinetic studies.

In this multicentric retrospective study, researchers reported that cutaneous adverse events were common among advanced breast cancer patients treated with cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (CDK4/6i), generally mild, and manageable with topical treatments, though in some cases, they led to treatment discontinuation.

This study found that GDNF promotes hair formation and skin wound repair by enhancing the self-renewal and differentiation of bulge stem cells in mice.

This study found that combining the natural product cedrol with minoxidil can improve the treatment of androgenetic alopecia by reducing the minoxidil dose needed, while a new nanocarrier system enhances drug delivery and effectiveness at hair follicles.

This study found that applying both dehydrothermal treatment and carbodiimide crosslinking improved the mechanical properties of porcine acellular dermal matrix scaffolds without added cytotoxicity, suggesting potential applications in tissue engineering.

This study identifies two new proteins, CCDC22 and CCDC93, essential for root and root hair growth in Arabidopsis, and demonstrates their genetic link to a VTI13-dependent vacuolar trafficking pathway.

In this case report, a three-generation family with Gorlin-Goltz syndrome showed a heterozygous PTCH1 splice-donor variant associated with the disease, and two affected relatives benefited from individualized, side-effect-guided dosing of the drug sonidegib, experiencing regression of basal cell carcinoma lesions.

This study suggests that dsRNA may enhance KRT9 expression in palm and sole skin through β-catenin signaling, potentially linking mechanical damage to specific skin features and certain skin conditions.

This study found that the dermal glycosaminoglycan content and mast cell count in rats peaked during the anagen stage of hair growth and decreased during later stages.

In this study, Gsdma1/2/3 knockout mice showed reduced epidermal hyperplasia and inflammation when induced by PMA, which was attributed to decreased EGFR-Stat3/Akt signaling due to a decrease in related ligands.

In this study, researchers used the CRISPR/Cas9 system to edit the FGF5 gene in Dorper sheep, observing increased density and finer wool, along with changes in cortisol levels and antioxidant enzyme activity linked to hair follicle development.

This study found that CD2 could be a potential new therapeutic target for treating patchy-type alopecia areata, suggesting the need for further research into its role.

ChatGPT-4 can help with allergic contact dermatitis but shouldn't replace expert doctors.

This study highlighted cases where children with atypical forms of celiac disease exhibited symptoms like recurrent alopecia and seborrhea, emphasizing the need for timely diagnosis and treatment to optimize outcomes.

In this study, researchers found that the novel gene circCFAP20DC enhances the proliferation of goat follicular granulosa cells by activating the RB pathway, facilitating their progression from the G1 to S phase during follicular development.

In this study, cedrol was found to reduce lipid accumulation in the liver and adipose tissues of dexamethasone-treated mice by antagonizing glucocorticoid receptors, suggesting its potential utility in treating dexamethasone-induced lipid metabolism disorders.

This study found that Cacumen platycladi extract significantly promoted hair growth and reduced dihydrotestosterone levels by inhibiting 5α-reductase activity in an androgen-sensitive mouse model.

AGC2-1 protein is essential for root hair growth in Arabidopsis.

This study suggests that pretreatment with a PPAR-γ modulator may prevent damage to hair follicle stem cells caused by a chemotherapy metabolite, potentially offering a strategy to mitigate permanent chemotherapy-induced alopecia.

This study suggests that increased amounts of less stable disulfide conformers in hair shafts may be linked to the brittleness observed in trichothiodystrophy.
