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

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

This case report highlights a 60-year-old patient's diagnosis with Cronkhite-Canada syndrome, characterized by gastrointestinal polyps, diarrhea, weight loss, brittle nails, alopecia, and skin changes, which showed improvement with treatment.

This study introduced the BASP classification, a new system for categorizing pattern hair loss in both men and women, and applied it to analyze 2213 Korean subjects.

This study found that RSPO1 mutations in patients with a 46XX disorder of sexual development contribute to impaired skin integrity and increased risk of squamous cell carcinoma in areas subject to friction.

This review discusses central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in adolescents, noting varied presentation and highlighting genetic and environmental factors, but reports no new clinical findings.

Clear definitions and strategies are needed to manage long-term COVID-19 symptoms effectively.

Scalp cooling therapy is costly and often not covered by insurance, limiting access for low-income patients.

This study reports the first familial case of alopecia linked to a novel homozygous variant in the DSP gene, which did not coincide with heart abnormalities despite prior associations.

This study identified five mutations in the gene LSS in individuals with unexplained hypotrichosis simplex, highlighting a potential role of mislocalized LSS proteins in disrupting hair follicle biology.

In this case report, a 72-year-old female with Cronkhite-Canada syndrome showed significant improvement in symptoms and gastrointestinal polyps after hormone therapy and additional treatment.

This case report suggests that in African-American patients, the histology of Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia may resemble lichen planopilaris, indicating a potential diagnostic challenge.

This study reports a novel diagnostic method for latent circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorder using circadian gene oscillations from hair follicle cells to improve sleep disorder differentiation and potential therapeutic intervention.

In this study, three cases of Cronkhite-Canada syndrome revealed small bowel mucosal lesions, but these findings did not correlate with clinical symptoms or steroid treatment outcomes.

In this study, topical application of Cyclosporin A on mice skin induced hair growth by transitioning follicles from telogen to anagen, but no effect was observed on cultured human hair follicles.

In this case study, a 19-month-old infant with palmoplantar keratoderma and nail dystrophy was found to have a desmoplakin gene mutation, leading to cardiomyopathy by age 7, illustrating diagnostic challenges and the potential link between skin, dental, and cardiac anomalies.

Corkscrew hair may be a new sign for quickly diagnosing scalp fungus in black children.

This study found that the Cutaneous Lupus Disease Area and Severity Index (CLASI) is correlated with both physician-assessed and patient-reported outcomes in cutaneous lupus erythematosus, particularly highlighting concerns about body image in visible areas.

CRISPR/Cas9 and prime editing can potentially fix skin disorder genes safely and effectively.

This study examined different polymersome systems for topical finasteride delivery and found that chitosan-decorated C7 polymersomes may enhance skin retention and provide controlled drug release compared to non-decorated systems in laboratory settings.

This study used Cisd2 knockout mice models and found that these mice display premature aging characteristics and an increase in dysfunctional neutrophils, suggesting Cisd2's role in calcium homeostasis and neutrophil function via interactions with Calnexin and SERCA.

This review discusses the characteristics and challenges in treating Cronkhite–Canada syndrome but reports no new clinical findings, emphasizing the need for better understanding and uniform treatment approaches.

CCCA in women of African ancestry may be caused by PADI3 gene mutations and intense hair grooming.

This study found that sulfated CCK octapeptide reduces psoriasis-like skin inflammation in mice, suggesting a new pathophysiological role for CCK in regulating epidermal inflammation.

Chemical treatments damage hair more than UV exposure, making it thinner and less flexible.

This study found that while a modified BASP classification for pattern hair loss could classify previously unrecognized types, it was less accurate and harder to use than the existing BASP classification.

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.

CCCA affects Black men too, with a genetic link found in the PADI3 gene.

In this study, scalp cooling therapy was found to be well tolerated and effective at improving hair preservation for Asian women with breast or gynecological cancers undergoing certain chemotherapy regimens, particularly weekly paclitaxel, compared to historical controls.
