This case report identifies a 23-year-old man with congenital triangular alopecia, a non-scarring alopecia characterized by preserved follicles and vellus hair, for which unnecessary interventions should be avoided.

This study observed that repeated perm treatments decrease disulfide bonds in hair due to their conversion largely into cysteic acid, affecting the waving efficiency depending on the reduction agent used.

This clinical case report describes a patient with ulcerative colitis whose symptoms improved using the Janus kinase inhibitor, tofacitinib, allowing disease remission and hair regrowth.

In this case report, a young female Indian patient with alopecia areata saw hair regrowth within 2 months of treatment with oral tofacitinib, with continued improvements over a 5-month period and no reported side effects.

In this case report, researchers identified a potential adverse skin reaction, called SDRIFE or Baboon syndrome, caused by the drug tofacitinib in a 19-year-old woman being treated for alopecia subtotalis, leading the authors to recommend discontinuation of the drug.

The FTO gene hinders stem cells in hair follicles from becoming pigment cells.

This study demonstrates that canonical Wnt signaling is crucial for maintaining thymic epithelial microenvironments in postnatal thymus, possibly by affecting TEC progenitor cells.

This review discusses the evolution and ongoing debate about the causes of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in African American women, without presenting new clinical findings.

In this study, researchers found that mosaic PLCD1 hotspot variants, even without the recognized germline "risk allele," may be a rare but significant genetic cause of nevus trichilemmocysticus, warranting DNA testing and sensitive sequencing technologies for accurate diagnosis.

TEDAR is crucial for skin cell differentiation and barrier formation.

This study identified a high-risk allele in the PLCD1 gene associated with hereditary trichilemmal cyst formation, proposing a monoallelic two-hit mechanism as the underlying genetic pathogenesis.

This review discusses the mechanisms and pathways of FGFR signalling and its roles in development, disorders, and therapeutic targeting, but reports no new clinical results.

This retrospective study found that oral tofacitinib significantly reduced the severity of alopecia areata in children, achieving over a 50% reduction in hair loss severity, though relapse occurred during treatment tapering, and mild adverse effects were noted.

This study demonstrates that encapsulating cell-free fat extract in a gelatin methacrylate hydrogel enhances flap repair by sustaining angiogenesis, reducing oxidative stress, and offering favorable biocompatibility in a murine skin flap model, thereby advancing potential clinical flap necrosis treatments.

This review discusses follicular unit transplantation for hair restoration, focusing on crucial aspects such as donor assessment and surgical technique, but reports no clinical results; the authors stress the importance of careful planning and skilled execution.

Elderly patients with CCCA were all African American with low vitamin D, but no iron or zinc deficiencies, and no hormonal imbalances compared to younger patients.

This abstract provides information on potential conflicts of interest and acknowledges sources of support for the findings, but does not report specific study results.

This study found that oral tofacitinib led to variable hair regrowth in patients with resistant alopecia areata, implying that longer treatment durations may be needed to fully assess its effectiveness.

Tacalcitol ointment effectively improves bilateral nevus comedonicus.

In this study, researchers found multiple somatic mutations and copy number variations in a patient with Cronkhite-Canada syndrome, providing novel insights into its potential genetic mechanisms.

This study found that neurotrophin-4 regulates Cav3.2 T-current expression in D-hair neurons via TrkB receptor activation, highlighting its role in mechanosensitive function.

This study found that tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF) is an effective and safer alternative to tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) for chronic hepatitis B, with fewer long-term side effects like nephrotoxicity and decreased bone density.

In this study, beta-catenin expression was found to be significant in embryonic goose skin during early feather bud development, with patterns similar to Shh expression, suggesting its importance in normal development.

Regulatory T cells help prevent autoimmunity and have potential for treating autoimmune diseases.

This report highlights a case where dermoscopic observation of corkscrew hairs in a young woman led to the diagnosis of trichotillomania, emphasizing its role in distinguishing this psychiatric disorder from other forms of non-scarring alopecia and highlighting the importance of timely intervention.

This study observed that some children and young adults with alopecia areata experienced flares during long-term tofacitinib treatment, despite initial successful hair regrowth.

Patients with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia may have a higher risk of breast and colorectal cancer.

This study observed that treating acne scars with fractional ablative laser concurrently with isotretinoin improved outcomes more effectively compared to applying the laser 6 months after isotretinoin treatment ended, as measured by the Quantitative Global Acne Scarring Grading System.
