This study identified a new variety of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia that includes patchy hair loss on the lateral and posterior scalp in African-American women, which could be misdiagnosed as traction alopecia without dermatoscopy and pathology.

This study used electron microscopy to identify a distinct dendritic cell in the human epidermis, similar to the melanocyte, with unique structural features and variable melanin content.

This study identified CCCA in 10 children of African descent, highlighting the occurrence of this scarring alopecia in patients under 18 and the importance of early diagnosis for better outcomes.

This study found that combining CelluTome system and RCM is a safe and effective protocol for evaluating wound healing responses in patients with epidermolysis bullosa.

In this study, subcutaneous injection of mesenchymal stem cell-conditioned medium promoted regeneration of mice skin aged by D-galactose, improving skin thickness, vascularization, and collagen density.

This article reviews central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, focusing on its multifactorial etiology and challenges in clinical diagnosis, and calls for more research and better treatment options.

This case report describes a patient with Clouston syndrome who developed squamous cell carcinoma, highlighting the need for regular follow-up in patients with chronic paronychia that do not respond to conventional treatments.

This study observed that amelanotic melanocytes from human hair follicles appeared morphologically immature, suggesting they might not transfer melanosomes into keratinocytes.

This study found diverse clinical presentations in patients with newly detected connective tissue disease, highlighting the diagnostic and prognostic importance of cutaneous features.

This study presents the first reported case of a collision tumor consisting of basal cell carcinoma and cutaneous leiomyosarcoma, emphasizing the need for pathologists to recognize such combinations.

This study found that mesenchymal stem cell treatment alleviated atopic dermatitis-like symptoms in a mouse model by modulating immune and inflammatory responses, with gene expression changes suggesting pathways for potential personalized treatment approaches.

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 cystatin M/E strongly inhibits human cathepsin V and cathepsin L via distinct non-overlapping sites, suggesting an important role in human epidermal differentiation and hair follicle morphogenesis.

In this study, electron microscopy of follicular mucinosis showed severe cytoplasmic degeneration in hair follicles, with myelin figures and onion-like lamellar structures, but no indications of mucin release through degeneration or degradation were found.

In this study, the researchers reported that chloramphenicol-loaded liposomes, particularly those incorporating deoxycholic acid, enhanced follicular uptake and showed strong antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, offering potential for treating MRSA-infected skin conditions with good skin biocompatibility and minimal toxicity.

This study identified a novel missense MAFB variant in a family with some unaffected members, suggesting incomplete penetrance and the potential influence of modifier genes, epigenetic mechanisms, or environmental factors on MCTO phenotype.

This study found that MEGA PROTAC improved the prediction of ternary structures with higher maximum DockQ scores compared to the BOTCP method in 16 out of 22 test cases.

In this study, researchers found that mosaic PLCD1 hotspot variants, even without the recognized germline "risk allele," may be a rare but significant genetic cause of nevus trichilemmocysticus, warranting DNA testing and sensitive sequencing technologies for accurate diagnosis.

This study found that minoxidil sulfate stimulates Cl channels, potentially depolarization-activated and outwardly rectifying, in eccrine clear cells, while minoxidil itself stimulates Ca-insensitive K currents.

This study identifies a new mutation in the Scd1 gene in a strain of Kunming mice, causing skin and hair defects with the mildest impact among similar mutations.

This study developed and evaluated a photographic scale to assess CCCA pattern and severity in African American women, finding it reproducible when used by investigators and participants.

This report details a pediatric COVID-19 case with skin symptoms aligning with multisystem inflammatory syndrome.

This source provides supplementary materials for the Carnivore Follicular Integrity Framework, a theoretical model proposing that animal-based diets may support hair follicle stability through several biological mechanisms. The materials include definitions, nutrient tables, and mechanistic notes but do not report empirical results.

This article explores the theoretical foundations of the ChromaLens Precision Mapping system for analyzing hair, but it does not present any new experimental findings.

This case report describes a 37-year-old Filipino man with Cronkhite-Canada syndrome who improved after receiving nutritional support and medical treatment, despite the typically poor prognosis of the condition.

This study reports that miR-22 promotes cancer progression and metastasis by maintaining Wnt/β-catenin signaling and cancer stem cell function.

In this study, incorporating a novel amino acid compound into a hair-straightening formulation improved humidity-resistant straightening and enhanced the surface and mechanical properties of hair fibers, including increased bending stiffness, reduced friction, and better shape retention under high temperature and humidity conditions.

This study concluded that removing alopecia and mucous membrane components from the CLASI-A score limits the ability to capture crucial clinical information about cutaneous lupus erythematosus activity, recommending their retention.

This study demonstrated that modified montmorillonites combined with bacterial cellulose enhanced antimicrobial, wound healing, and tissue regenerative activities in a burn mice model, suggesting potential as an artificial skin substitute for burn patients.

In this study, researchers found that β-catenin directly promotes TERT expression in stem and cancer cells by interacting with the Tert promoter, illustrating a mechanistic link between tumorigenesis and pluripotency.
