This study found that micro-current electrical stimulation may promote hair growth in human hair follicle-derived papilla cells and a mice model by enhancing cell proliferation, migration, and activating key growth pathways.

This article reviews central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in African-descent females, discussing possible causes, associated styling habits, and potential treatments, but reports no new clinical findings; the authors call for further research.

This study found that Mueller Matrix microscopy can accurately identify, detect, and evaluate hair follicles in mouse skin tissue, suggesting its potential for skin structure research and dermatological applications.

This study found that deleting the Mad2l1 gene in mice leads to rapid onset of acute lymphoblastic leukemia and liver cancer due to induced chromosomal instability.

Wharton's Jelly stem cell medium may help treat skin issues in Systemic Sclerosis.

This study reports a unique case of coinheritance of BRCA2 and CYLD pathogenic variants in a man with metastatic malignant cylindroma, suggesting that recognizing such genetic profiles in rare conditions can provide new treatment options, including the potential use of therapies targeting BRCA deficiency.

Online medical education helps doctors make better clinical decisions and increases their knowledge in treating fungal nail infections.

The Celsr1 gene is crucial for normal hair patterning in mice.

This study found that a peripilar white gray halo around hair emergence is a highly specific and sensitive dermatoscopic feature for diagnosing central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in African American patients with mild central thinning.

This study found that Musashi-2 regulates mRNA targets to restrict epithelial cell migration, revealing a key function of Msi2 beyond its known role in promoting cell growth.

This study found that calmodulin 7 (CaM7) inhibits the calcium channel CNGC14 in root hairs, affecting their polar growth by controlling calcium signaling.

Hair shaft changes may be linked to CCCA, but their role is unclear.

Alpha-MSH affects mitochondrial function, and MC1R mutations may increase skin aging.

This study found that longer-chain cationic surfactants like BTMC provided superior hair conditioning by reducing combing forces, but did not reverse oxidative hair damage, emphasizing the role of molecular structure in surfactant performance.

This study explored the diversity of melanocyte stem cell subpopulations in the hair follicles of adult female mice and identified novel groups with distinct immune privilege regulation, suggesting a heterogeneous landscape that future research should consider.

Early intervention is important for limited systemic sclerosis patients due to higher pain and ulceration risks.

In this study, CCCA patients were found to have higher odds of metabolic, autoimmune, atopic, and psychiatric comorbidities compared to matched controls.

This article reviews central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, particularly in women of African descent, and explains its progression and symptoms but provides no new clinical findings.

This study, conducted at Montefiore Medical Center, reports that central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia predominantly affects middle-aged Black or African American women, often presenting without symptoms, which may delay diagnosis and treatment. The study underscores the need for a specific ICD-10 code for better epidemiological studies.

In this study, researchers found that basal cell carcinomas with common Hedgehog signaling mutations may require additional mutations to hyperactivate downstream signaling and progress beyond dormancy.

This case report describes a 32-year-old Filipino female with mixed connective tissue disease who sequentially developed distinct autoimmune disorders over seven years, highlighting the complexities in diagnosis and management of overlap syndromes.

This study demonstrated that transcutaneous vaccination via cyanoacrylate skin surface stripping effectively induced both CD4 and CD8 T cell responses in humans, offering a promising alternative to intramuscular injection.

This study found that small molecule AP-1 inhibitors may selectively target SMO inhibitor-resistant basal cell carcinoma cells characterized by specific markers, potentially enhancing combinatorial cancer therapies.

This study describes three new cases of MCOPS6 with BMP4 variants, noting expanded phenotypic variability but no clinically apparent microphthalmia in these individuals, which is commonly reported in the disorder.

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 study reports the first case of mandibuloacral dysplasia syndrome associated with MTX2 gene mutation in the Chinese population, expanding the known spectrum of MTX2 mutations.

In this case study, a man's hair and nail symptoms, following dental treatments, resolved with mesalazine therapy after investigating suspected clindamycin allergy and diagnosing mucosal changes.

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

In this study, researchers created a mutant mouse lacking the first cut repeat in the Cux/CDP protein, resulting in curly vibrissae and wavy hair, supporting the role of Cux/CDP's DNA binding domains in gene regulation during development.
