In this study, a low-methionine diet significantly improved the health and physical traits of cystathionine β-synthase-deficient mice, contrasting with negative effects on mice with partial deficiency.

In this study, Trichophyton tonsurans and Microsporum canis were identified as the primary causes of tinea capitis, with terbinafine treatment showing the highest cure rate. Non-commercial kits surpassed real-time PCR commercial kits in specificity and sensitivity for diagnosis.

This study found that cyproterone acetate treatment in late-pubertal trans-girls was safe, well-tolerated, and induced mild feminizing changes, with more pronounced effects when combined with estrogens.

New ABCA12 gene mutations were linked to a skin condition with scaling and hair loss, and a treatment helped with hair loss in a related case.

This report describes a new case of isolated trichothiodystrophy with characteristic brittle hair and suggests a simplified classification scheme for understanding sulfur-deficient hair disorders.

This study identified nine novel KRTAP5 family genes associated with human hair formation, demonstrating preferential expression in hair roots and suggesting their role in hair development.

This study reports the synthesis and structural characterization of a novel dinuclear platinum(III) complex with potential antitumor and catalytic activity.

The researchers reported increased ubiquitination of proteins such as the insulin receptor in CYLD cutaneous syndrome skin tumors, suggesting that CYLD dysfunction may affect protein secretion and signaling processes.

In this case report, a 40-year-old male with alopecia universalis and twenty-nail dystrophy showed significant nail improvement and partial hair regrowth after six months of baricitinib treatment, improving his quality of life.

In this case study, researchers reported the first documented instance of malignant transformation of congenital triangular alopecia into basal cell carcinoma in a 48-year-old woman, underscoring the importance of assessing long-standing alopecic areas for malignancy.

This study on Indian dromedary camel breeds investigated the KRTAP7 protein, finding all four breeds shared an identical gene sequence, with 13 phosphorylation and glycosylation sites influencing hair characteristics, alongside predicted interactions with other biosynthesis-related proteins.

This study examined uncharacterized CYP21A2 gene variants related to non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia and found that several mutations reduce enzyme activity, which may help improve diagnostic and treatment strategies.

This article discusses tinea capitis, highlighting its causes, symptoms, diagnostic methods, and the importance of selecting treatment based on the causal agent for effective outcomes; it reports no new clinical results.

In this report, researchers describe a 13-month-old with neurodevelopmental disorder NEDESBA, confirming a TRAPPC4 gene mutation as the cause after excluding biotinidase deficiency, highlighting the importance of molecular testing for accurate diagnosis in overlapping metabolic and genetic conditions.

In this analysis of the BRAVE-AA trials, a significant number of patients with severe alopecia areata treated with baricitinib reached complete or nearly complete scalp coverage (SALT score ≤10 or ≤5) over 52 weeks, particularly among those with less severe baseline characteristics.

This case analysis found that trichoscopy is a valuable tool for diagnosing and monitoring treatment progress in tinea capitis by distinguishing between Microsporum and Trichophyton etiologies.

This study reports that citrulline, uniquely found in the inner root sheath of hair follicles, can be specifically detected with the carbamido diacetyl reaction, resulting in a bright orange color.

This study reports the development of a novel protocol to purify human TRPV3 ion channels, revealing functional properties and differences in ligand interactions, enabling further structural and functional research.

This study's simulation found that Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate penetrates more efficiently through the skin's stratum corneum than via the infundibulum, following different pathways and dynamics in each membrane.

Transamidases are present in the epidermis but their exact role is unclear.

This study found that comma hairs are a distinctive feature of tinea capitis caused by Microsporum canis, distinguishing it from alopecia areata, which is characterized by exclamation mark hairs.

Tofacitinib is a potential alternative treatment for alopecia totalis, especially in patients with a shorter duration of the condition and more preserved hair follicles, but the overall response rate is low.

This case report documented a 74-year-old female with alopecic patches and other skin issues during talquetamab therapy for multiple myeloma, suggesting that the drug may cause skin-related adverse effects due to reactivity to GPRC5D-expressing structures.

This case report describes a 38-year-old patient with trichomycosis axillaris, successfully treated with shaving, 3% erythromycin cream, and clotrimazole powder.

This study found that daily topical application of citral increased sebaceous gland lobules and cell hyperplasia in male rats after three months.

This study found that certain CYP21A2 mutations significantly reduce enzyme activity, contributing to non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia phenotypes, which may aid in enhancing diagnosis and treatment strategies.

This study found that Janus Kinase inhibitors, tofacitinib and baricitinib, showed effectiveness and safety in treating severe alopecia areata in a real-world setting, with optimal tolerability noted in younger individuals.

Baricitinib helps with early hair regrowth in people with alopecia areata.
