This study found that human C-tactile afferents respond to hair deflection, suggesting a functionally relevant anatomical relationship to hair follicles similar to that observed in mice.

In this study, researchers identified Tenascin-C as a marker for touch dome keratinocytes, which maintain themselves and can develop into Merkel cells following injury, showing they share molecular traits with various epidermal keratinocytes.

This case report describes a 34-year-old kidney transplant patient who developed a unique skin condition linked to cyclosporine, characterized by flesh-colored papules, and introduces "cyclosporine induced folliculodystrophy" as a term for this condition.

This review outlines the current regulatory framework for cosmetics under the FD&C Act, highlighting that they are less strictly regulated than drugs, but notes potential future changes due to proposed legislations requiring stronger safety measures.

This study classified dutasteride, fesoterodine, and finasteride as beneficial for older or frail elderly patients, while suggesting caution or avoidance of α-blockers and antimuscarinics in this group.

This review discusses the molecular mechanisms of Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome and evaluates current research trends, available mouse models, and prospects for developing therapies, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study suggests that human keratin fiber matrix has a well-defined nano-scale grainy structure rather than being amorphous, with grain size influenced by chemical treatments, temperature, humidity, and follicle-level factors.

This article reviews the challenges in diagnosing mild hyperandrogenism in adolescent girls, discussing potential causes like PCOS and treatment options, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that laminin-511 is crucial for hair morphogenesis in mice, as it influences primary cilia formation and dermal papilla maintenance through noggin and sonic hedgehog signaling.

This review discusses how various reproductive factors are linked to increased risks of hypertension and cardiovascular disease, noting associations with impaired fetal growth, male hypogonadism, and effects of contraceptive use, but reports no new results.

This study found that in Colombian women with non-scarring alopecia, decreased serum ferritin levels were associated with telogen effluvium, but no such link was observed with thyroid disorders.

This case report describes a ten-year-old boy with kerion celsi caused by Trichosporon asteroides, successfully treated with systemic fluconazole over eight weeks, marking the first documentation of this cause in the literature.

This letter reports three cases of diffuse hair loss linked to hyperprolactinaemia but does not present new research findings.

This study found that patients with telogen effluvium had slightly lower vitamin D levels compared to healthy controls, but the difference was not statistically significant.

This source provides medical information intended solely for licensed professionals and emphasizes that it is not a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment decisions, which remain the responsibility of treating physicians.

This case study describes two postmenopausal women with severe androgen excess symptoms, diagnosed with ovarian hyperthecosis and stromal hyperplasia, emphasizing the challenges in differentiating these benign conditions from androgen-secreting tumors and the importance of surgical and histopathological evaluation for correct diagnosis and management.

This study found that among pediatric patients with inborn errors of immunity, severe COVID-19 was linked to chronic lung disease, hypogammaglobulinemia, and musculoskeletal abnormalities, with chronic pulmonary illness being a major risk factor, while long-term effects included fatigue, hair loss, and red eye.

This study found that individuals with both androgenetic alopecia and metabolic syndrome had thicker subcutaneous adipose tissue in the frontal scalp, along with unfavorable metabolic parameters, compared to those without metabolic syndrome.

Vitamin D is crucial for skin health and managing skin diseases.

This study investigates the relationship between vitamin B12 levels and chronic telogen effluvium, reporting that the role of vitamin B12 in its pathogenesis remains unclear.

This article reviews the differential diagnosis of mild hyperandrogenism in adolescent girls, discussing potential causes such as PCOS and nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia, but presents no new data.

This study found that Czech women with polycystic ovary syndrome in their thirties had a significantly worse cardiovascular risk profile compared to a control group, independent of obesity.

This review discusses the crosstalk between auxin and ethylene in seedling growth and development, emphasizing how ethylene modulates auxin's effects across different tissues.

This review noted that alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease impacting hair follicles and offered insights into its complex pathogenesis involving immune responses, while highlighting ongoing research into new treatments such as Janus kinase inhibitors and other immunomodulatory drugs.
