This study demonstrates that Rac1 activity is essential for normal hair follicle formation but influences hair structure and pigmentation, in terminal differentiation, through alterations in hair shaft, cuticle, and pigmentation organization.

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.

Trichoscopy helped diagnose and treat a child's fungal scalp infection by spotting specific hair shapes.

This study found that Prss53-mutated rabbits exhibited curved hair and skeletal dyskinesia, suggesting a link between Prss53 loss and these traits, potentially involving disrupted calcium metabolism.

This workshop reviewed various roles of endoplasmic reticulum chaperones, including calreticulin, in cellular signaling, disease states, and potential markers, but reports no new experimental findings.

In this study, germacrone from Curcuma aeruginosa showed anti-androgenic effects by inhibiting 5α-reductase, suggesting its potential as a lead compound for treating androgen-dependent disorders.

This article reviews the clinical features, pathogenesis, and treatment strategies for Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia, emphasizing the need for enhanced understanding and early diagnosis, but reports no new research findings.

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

A 4kb fragment of the desmocollin 3 promoter targets gene expression to specific skin and hair follicle areas.

In this case report, a 42-year-old male diagnosed with Cronkhite-Canada syndrome presented symptoms like chronic diarrhea, significant weight loss, skin hyperpigmentation, alopecia, and nail dystrophy, with endoscopic findings revealing numerous gastrointestinal polyps.

This report highlights the diagnosis of a giant congenital blue nevus with secondary cutis verticis gyrata in a 20-year-old Asian male, underscoring the need for clinicopathologic correlation due to overlapping features with cerebriform intradermal nevi.

This study found that mutant Cx43 impairs fibroblast function during wound healing and reduces hair follicle cell proliferation, likely contributing to hair growth defects in ODDD patients.

This study suggests that Acrotrema arnottianum, a herb used in traditional medicine, contains biologically active metabolites like squalene and α-Tocopherol. It showed antibacterial effects against Staphylococcus aureus and antifungal properties against Candida albicans, while demonstrating antioxidant activity.

This study found that social hair plucking in captive rhesus macaques may share traits with both prosocial and aggressive behaviors and is associated with alopecia and hair cortisol levels.

This study emphasizes the genetic component of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, highlighting an atypical case involving an adolescent male within an African-American family.

This study diagnosed a group of six girls with various ectodermal abnormalities, identifying cranio-skeletal malformations consistent with focal dermal hypoplasia (Goltz syndrome), and found heterozygous mutations in the PORCN gene in two children.

This study in mutant mice found that Bmpr2 and Acvr2a are individually redundant, but together essential for normal hair follicle development, with their reduction causing rapid hair cycling and graying.

This study observed that K5Cre +/+ transgenic mice develop a distinct phenotype characterized by wavy hair, curly whiskers, and an increased rate of papilloma malignant transformation.

This study suggests that the NGF/TrkA/CREB system plays a crucial role in promoting outer root sheath cell proliferation in cashmere goats, which may aid in marker-assisted breeding.

This case report describes a 16-year-old with ectrodactyly-ED-clefting syndrome, where scarring alopecia with follicular involvement appeared during puberty, possibly due to anatomic hair abnormalities.

This article evaluates the therapeutic effects and safety of traditional herbal medicines used by tribal communities in India, but does not present new data or results.

This case report details a 71-year-old man diagnosed with Cronkhite-Canada Syndrome, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and endoscopic evaluation due to the disease's progressive nature and significant mortality risk.

In this study, the researchers observed significant metabolic dysregulation in central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, particularly involving lipid metabolism and the downregulation of AMPK-related genes.

This report introduces a new potential sign, paired ear creases of the helix, which may have relevance to cardiovascular disease similar to diagonal ear lobe creases, in a case of coronary artery disease.

This study showed that the stress hormone CRF inhibits hair growth and induces hair loss by affecting both the proliferation of human dermal papilla cells and hair follicle function.

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

This study found that CRISPR/Cas9 efficiently edited two cellulose synthase-like genes in spinach, significantly altering root hair growth patterns and suggesting potential for large-scale genome editing in this crop.

This study observed that hair loss in captive rhesus macaques varies with season, sex, and housing conditions, and is significantly correlated with HPA axis activity as indicated by faecal cortisol metabolites.

This study in Kitui County, Kenya, identified histopathological lesions due to Cordylobia anthropophaga infestations in dogs, including parasitic granulomas and eosinophilic lymphadenitis, leading to severe health effects such as emaciation and potential death.

This study found that cucurbitacin cream reduced FGF18 levels and accelerated hair follicle transition to the anagen phase in mice, suggesting its potential as a treatment for hair regeneration.
