This study found that stimulating the olfactory receptor OR2A4/7 with cyclohexyl salicylate promoted human hair growth and increased progeny of hair follicle epithelial stem cells in an ex vivo setting.

The authors concluded that steatocystoma multiplex is a rare dermatological condition with poor treatment outcomes, emphasizing the importance of early recognition and psychological support for affected individuals.

This article discusses central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, noting its prevalence in women of African descent and highlighting the need for further genetic research to improve treatment options; it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, the researchers found that a 28-day topical treatment with a postbiotic ferment complex notably altered the scalp microbiome in women with sensitive scalps, increasing certain bacterial species and decreasing others, while also reportedly alleviating symptoms of sensitive skin syndrome in all participants.

This study found that CNGC 6, CNGC 9, and CNGC 14 are crucial for maintaining calcium oscillations necessary for normal root hair growth in plants, with mutations leading to defects like swelling and bursting.

This study found that the protein CCN2 in dermal papilla cells is a physiologically relevant suppressor of hair follicle formation by destabilizing β-catenin, which may help maintain stem cell quiescence.

In this study, carboxymethylalanyl disulfide keratin was shown to effectively prevent hair damage during repeated bleaching and permanent waving treatments.

This study found that rice bran supercritical CO₂ extract was classified as a non-irritant for ocular use but a moderate irritant for dermal use in rabbits and guinea pigs.

This study utilized a fluorescence probe to evaluate cysteine formation on hair fibers, finding that optimal fluorescence emission occurred at pH 4.5.

This systematic review indicates that patients with Down syndrome have an increased prevalence of various dermatologic disorders, especially infectious, inflammatory, autoimmune, and connective tissue conditions.

This study found that centrosomes, unlike cilia, are essential for proper epidermal and hair follicle development in mice, with these effects being dependent on the presence of p53.

This review covers the clinical features and heterogeneity of polycystic ovary syndrome and reports no new findings, emphasizing the need for further research on its complex traits and interactions.

This study reports that side-population stem cells, distinct from hair follicle stem cells, may play a significant role in the malignant progression of squamous cell carcinomas in mice.

This study suggests that the NCSTN knockout mouse could serve as an HS animal model, with tamoxifen potentially used for gene deletion in mice.

This study found that two unrelated domestic shorthair cats had novel DSG4 gene mutations causing defective hair shafts, representing the first report of pathogenic DSG4 variants in domestic animals.

A 4-year-old girl had a rare hair disorder affecting only part of her scalp.

This case report highlights a 16-year-old girl with primary amenorrhea diagnosed with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome after chromosomal analysis revealed a 46,XY karyotype.

This study found that scurvy is associated with the development of Sjögren's syndrome symptoms, which resolved with ascorbic acid repletion.

The study reported a 7.80% prevalence of scarring alopecia in Chinese SLE patients and identified several risk factors, including mucocutaneous lesions and high disease activity, while renal and cardio-respiratory involvements were negatively associated with it.

This review discusses central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, emphasizing its clinical features, potential contributing factors, and treatment options, but does not report new clinical findings.

This study suggests that controlling light exposure can influence cashmere growth by triggering hair follicles to enter their active growth phase sooner, potentially involving the CSDC2 gene as a key regulator.

This study reports a novel LSS gene mutation in an Egyptian family with alopecia intellectual disability syndrome 4, expanding the known clinical and genetic features of the condition.

This study found that high-dose cissus repens ointment Ⅱ significantly promoted wound healing and reduced inflammation in superficial second-degree burns in mice.

This study found that C. japonicum flower extract significantly increased melanin content and cellular activity in human melanocytes and may improve follicular depigmentation and vitiligo through cAMP signaling.

This study reports on the biochemical characteristics of S100A3 protein in human hair cuticle, notably finding its N-terminal methionine is acetylated and has a slightly lower isoelectric point compared to the recombinant version.

This study reports that transplantation of an ESCs-collagen-chitin biomimetic membrane leads to successful in situ skin regeneration, including hair follicle cell proliferation and formation of dermatoglyphs, in nude mice with full-thickness skin defects.

This study found that mechanical disruption of the desmosomal cadherin Dsg3 in hair follicle stem cells activates them from quiescence, highlighting its role as a key regulator of stem cell quiescence and epithelial niche integrity.

This study found that the presence of premature desquamation of the inner root sheath in noninflamed hair follicles is a relatively specific marker for diagnosing central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia.

This review from the 2013 Keogh Review found that non-surgical cosmetic interventions in the UK are largely unregulated, leaving patients with little protection or recourse.

In this study, genetic testing confirmed the diagnosis of Androgen insensitivity syndrome in most CAIS patients in Tunisia and identified two previously unreported mutations in the androgen receptor gene.
