This study found that involucrin likely plays a key role in forming the cornified material of the medulla and inner root sheath of human hair, contributing to its mechanical strength.

This article describes a refined technique for improving hair transplant results by recycling oversized plugs into smaller grafts, integrating advanced methods like scalp lifting and occipital harvesting.

This review discusses the cornification process of epidermal keratinocytes in forming the skin barrier and reports no new results; it emphasizes the importance for diagnosis and treatment of skin disorders.

This study reports a rare case of an epidermal cyst localized in the temporal bone, potentially as a complication of myringoplasty, marking only the fifth such report in English-language literature.

This study reports that KRTAP-like proteins, which resemble keratin-associated proteins found in mammals, are also present in the cornified teeth of various lamprey species, suggesting these proteins may serve similar functions in skin appendages across different vertebrates despite independent evolutionary origins.

This article discusses a historical case of a rare skin disorder involving alopecia and follicular plugs reported in 1907; it presents no new findings.

The document suggests fixing common hair transplant issues by combining artistic principles with plug reduction, recycling, and additional micrograft transplantation, while also potentially using arnica to help with post-operative swelling.

This case study reports a peculiar variant of an epidermal cyst in a patient, featuring unique characteristics like brownish, lumpy contents resembling bone marrow.

This study concludes that tiny infundibular cysts, rather than comedones, are the primary lesions in chloracne.

In this study, researchers found that the cornification process in the nuptial pads of Xenopus frogs involves the expression of the type II hair keratin homolog, krt59, and is regulated by the transcription factor hoxc13, showing similarities to mammalian hair evolution.

This article reviews the characteristics, common locations, and causes of epidermoid cysts, noting that surgical excision is the standard treatment, but it reports no new clinical findings.

The document suggests fixing bad hair transplants by removing large hair plugs and replacing them with smaller ones, considering the natural progression of hair loss, and emphasizing the need for ethical judgment in hair transplantation.

This study explains how the development of keratin-associated proteins in embryonic epidermis is crucial for forming protective barriers in vertebrates, enabling them to adapt to terrestrial environments.

This article reviews naevus comedonicus, highlighting potential treatments like retinoic acid application and surgical intervention, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study observed Malassezia hyphae in the keratotic plugs of healthy individuals, which contrasts with previous findings of these hyphae primarily in lesions of pityriasis versicolor patients.

This study found that keratin filament networks in SG1 cells of mice undergo dynamic changes during cornification, impacting the barrier function of the stratum corneum.

This article reports a rare case of squamous cell carcinoma with miliary calcification in a cutaneous horn, suggesting possible involvement of calcium-binding proteins in this unique presentation.

In this study, a daily topical application of a 0.05% tretinoin solution effectively removed dark plugs and resolved symptoms of trichostasis spinulosa.

This article discusses the characteristics, clinical presentation, and diagnosis of calcified epidermal cysts but reports no new clinical results.

This study reports that daily topical application of a 0.05% tretinoin solution can eliminate the hair plugs and symptoms associated with trichostasis spinulosa.

In this study, researchers found that overexpression of the Hedgehog signaling effector Gli2 in mice led to odontogenic keratocysts development, implicating GLI transcription factors in human keratocyst pathogenesis.

This study suggests that large corneal stem cells isolated from the stratum corneum may be capable of covering central wound areas when transplanted onto granulation tissue.

The authors present a case of punctate follicular porokeratosis, suggesting it as a distinct clinical entity distinguished by keratotic lesions originating specifically from hair follicles.

This study found that serious complications were more likely after using muscle-only free flaps for skull coverage compared to composite flaps.

This study demonstrated that plucked human hair follicles cultured in a collagen gel matrix developed spike-like structures, suggesting a useful method to study outer root sheath cell growth and differentiation in vitro.

This review discusses the formation and structure of the cornified cell envelope in the epidermis, highlighting biochemical pathways and genetic factors, but presents no new experimental results.

In this case study, a 51-year-old Japanese man was diagnosed with desmoplastic trichoepithelioma after histological examination of surgically excised facial plaques.

This study describes two new types of dermal keratinous cysts of the eyelids, derived from the pilosebaceous apparatus, each presenting distinct management challenges.

This study found that the corneal epithelium differentiation program can proceed independently of lens formation, suggesting the corneal program is the default in eye development.
