This study reports the cloning and sequencing of two type II hair-specific keratin genes, ghHb1 and ghHb6, located on chromosome 12q13, which are expressed during hair growth.

This review discusses the use of hair cortisol concentration as a marker for chronic stress and long-term cortisol secretion in animals, highlighting its benefits and the need for standardized sampling protocols.

Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM) is a useful tool for studying how drugs interact with skin and diagnosing skin disorders, despite some limitations.

This study found that the HoxC gene cluster is crucial for the development of hair and nails in mice, with key regulation by two mammalian-specific enhancers.

This study found that synchrotron radiation ECD imaging provides new insights into solid-state Finasteride by highlighting the significant role of anisotropy in local domains for chiroptical measurements.

This study identified a human sequence likely coding for a new ultra-high sulphur protein, which may aid in understanding hair differentiation and the molecular basis of human trichothiodystrophy.

This case report described a 9-year-old girl initially suspected to have complete androgen insensitivity syndrome, whose laboratory tests later suggested an alternative diagnosis involving atypical steroid metabolism patterns and hormonal responses.

In this study, a low-methionine diet significantly improved the health and physical traits of cystathionine β-synthase-deficient mice, contrasting with negative effects on mice with partial deficiency.

This paper discusses X-linked ichthyosis and its genetic causes, focusing on biochemical pathways and their role in epidermal differentiation and barrier function, but it presents no new clinical findings.

This study found that dermatology consultations in a tertiary care center led to treatment changes in most cases, especially for complex conditions potentially linked to systemic disease.

In this study on C57BL/6 mice, researchers found that cadmium chloride exposure led to metabolic disruption, accelerated skin aging, and impaired hair regeneration, with more severe effects observed at higher doses.

This case study reports a rare combination of primary hyperparathyroidism with Klinefelter syndrome in a 44-year-old male, highlighting an unusual KS mosaicism with a mild phenotype.

Mouse Scube3 affects teeth, tongue, vibrissae, and eye development, but not facial structure or limb growth.

This case report suggests that nonsynchronized segmented heterochromia in black scalp hair in a 14-year-old girl may represent premature greying unrelated to deficiencies in iron, copper, zinc, or protein.

This case report detailed a 71-year-old male with Cronkhite-Canada syndrome and associated membranous nephropathy, who showed a significant improvement in skin and gastrointestinal symptoms, and remission of nephropathy, after treatment with rituximab, cyclosporine, and azathioprine.

This study reported the hematology and serum protein characteristics of chinchillas, including elevated transferrin to albumin concentration ratios during March and April, possibly linked to pregnancy or hair growth.

This study suggests that biallelic loss of the Hedgehog signaling repressor Patched alone in Keratin 5+ epidermal cells is insufficient to drive basal cell carcinoma development unless exogenous stimuli trigger accumulation of BCC precursor cells.

In this report, a 22-year-old woman with congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency underwent treatment with hydrocortisone and spironolactone, followed by feminization surgery, which subsequently led to the development of secondary sexual characteristics and regular menstruation.

This study found that certain C57BL/6 mouse substrains have a genetic vulnerability to skin lesions resembling central centrifugal cicatrical alopecia in humans, potentially worsened by high vitamin A levels.

Complex basal cell carcinomas need personalized treatment due to unique genetic mutations.

In this study, researchers found that TCDD exposure accelerated differentiation and altered gene expression in human epidermal cells, indicating the epidermal barrier as a target of TCDD-activated AHR.

This review discusses the uses and toxicological data of eleven unsaturated halogenated hydrocarbons, including dichloroacetylene, allyl chloride, hexachlorobutadiene, β-chloroprene, vinyl chloride, trichloroethylene, and perchloroethylene, but presents no new findings.

This case report describes a 60-year-old woman with Cronkhite-Canada syndrome whose symptoms and polyposis improved following prednisolone therapy, but emphasizes the need for periodic digestive tract screening due to associated cancer risks.

This study found that cathepsin L deficiency in mice led to significant abnormalities in hair follicle development and cycling, including disrupted hair shaft outgrowth and premature hair growth phase entry.

This study found that disrupted cholesterol homeostasis impairs hair regrowth in individuals with primary cicatricial alopecia by damaging hair follicle stem cells, highlighting the importance of cholesterol in maintaining stem cell function and hair follicle integrity.

In this study, researchers found that the pCLCA2 protein is expressed in specific areas of pig skin, but its role in skin structure or function remains unclear.

This study found that human adipose-derived stem cells co-cultured on a collagen sponge scaffold showed increased differentiation into keratinocytes, suggesting potential for improved skin wound healing.

This descriptive study reported that Chronic Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus was the most prevalent subtype, highlighting distinct clinical and pathological features among Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus subtypes.

This study found that Rab5c is crucial for proper HSPC development in zebrafish embryos by regulating Notch and AKT signaling through endocytic trafficking, with both deficiency and overactivation leading to production defects.
