This study suggests that keratinocytes in skin and mucous membranes might be involved in prion disease transmission due to their expression of PrPc, potentially serving as an entry point for prions.

This article discusses the potential for disposable instruments in hair restoration surgery, noting that their development will follow demand, and reports no new clinical findings.

This commentary reviews the link between androgenetic alopecia and metabolic syndrome and explores potential therapeutic strategies, but reports no new clinical results.

This study reported differences in serum IgG N-glycans between male patients with different types of androgenetic alopecia, suggesting that GP10 and GP22 may serve as biomarkers for assessing hair loss severity in male FPHL.

This study concluded that the effectiveness and safety of a domestic follicular extraction system were similar to conventional follicular unit excision in patients undergoing hair transplant surgery for androgenetic alopecia.

This study reported that female patients aged 20-30 with androgenetic alopecia had higher serum DHT levels compared to healthy individuals, and those with a family history of the condition experienced earlier onset than those without it.

This review reports that studies from China and elsewhere indicate microneedling, combined with traditional therapies, enhances treatment outcomes for androgenetic alopecia, offering superior efficacy, a shorter treatment period, and improved safety compared to conventional methods.

Vascular endothelial growth factor might be involved in common hair loss.

In this review, researchers examined the link between COVID-19 and telogen effluvium, a hair loss condition, noting that increased stress, immune response, medications, and worsening of underlying diseases may contribute to this condition post-infection.

Protecting hair and scalp from sunlight may help prevent hair loss.

This review highlights emerging evidence that low-dose oral minoxidil could be used off-label to treat androgenetic alopecia, offering insights into its potential mechanisms and clinical applications beyond its current role in treating hypertension.

This report presents a case of cicatricial female pattern hair loss in a 36-year-old woman, treated with topical minoxidil, tacrolimus, clobetasol, and oral medications, resulting in stabilized hair loss over six months.

This review summarizes research advancements in the pathogenesis, diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of androgenetic alopecia in 2020, but reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the relationship between allergies and alopecia areata, highlighting potential roles for anti-allergy and desensitization therapies, but reports no new clinical results.

This study observed that skin dryness does not seem to indicate impaired epidermal barrier function, as there was no negative correlation between stratum corneum water content and transepidermal water loss.

This study identified two novel mutations in the CDH3 gene causing HJMD in a Chinese patient, expanding the genetic and phenotypic understanding of the disorder.

This systematic review suggests that current evidence does not support routinely discontinuing gender-affirming hormone treatments before surgery, especially testosterone and spironolactone, due to limited data on related perioperative risks.

This report describes two cases of sustained hair repigmentation related to porphyria cutanea tarda, though the underlying mechanism remains unclear.

This study demonstrated that both classical and atypical BSE strains from cattle can be transmitted to goats, highlighting the importance of surveillance in protecting public health.

This study concluded that combining the Shumin treatment instrument with oral doxycycline provides better clinical outcomes for rosacea than combining red light therapy with doxycycline, while both regimens improved quality-of-life scores and reduced Demodex counts.

This meta-analysis found that autologous cell-based therapies, especially stromal vascular fraction, significantly improved atrophic acne scars over control treatments, enhancing both clinical and patient-reported outcomes.

In this expert consensus, the authors aimed to address the challenges of diagnosing and treating uncommon dermatophytoses due to their distinct characteristics and lack of standardized protocols, by providing scientific guidance on their epidemiology, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment.

In this study, researchers explained that healing of extensive skin defects involves granulation filling the wound cavity, followed by epithelialization from skin edges and hair follicles, which are crucial steps in wound healing.

This study identified specific dermoscopic features for differentiating rosacea, seborrheic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, and atopic dermatitis, suggesting dermoscope's value in diagnosing facial erythema with atypical presentations.

This review details the global mutation patterns of genes associated with autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis and highlights potential, yet unproven, treatments like minoxidil and regenerative therapies, reporting no new clinical results.

LIPH mutations cause woolly hair in some Chinese people.

This description of dystrophy hypotrichosis associated with juvenile macular dystrophy provides an overview of this rare disorder characterized by short hair from birth and progressive loss of central vision but reports no new findings.

This report describes a novel mutation in the CDH3 gene in an 11-year-old Iranian boy with hypotrichosis and juvenile macular dystrophy, indicating a new genetic variant associated with the disorder.

This case report identifies a novel CDH3 gene mutation associated with hypotrichosis with juvenile macular dystrophy in a 13-year-old Turkish girl, highlighting implications for future genetic analysis and counseling.

This study observed that CDH3-related congenital hypotrichosis with juvenile macular dystrophy presents with childhood-onset progressive chorioretinal atrophy and universally thin and sparse scalp hair.
