In this study, researchers found that specific mutations in iRhom2 in mice lead to skin and hair abnormalities which depend on the presence of the protein ADAM17, suggesting a complex role for iRhom2 in tissue development and potential implications for treating tylosis with oesophageal cancer.

This study found that Swiss cattle exhibiting rat-tail syndrome are heterozygous for genetic variants linked to pigmentation and color dilution, likely due to Holstein introgression in the Simmental breed.

This study reported three cases where patients experienced changes in hair curl patterns after acute lupus alopecia and alopecia areata, with baseline hair texture restored following medical treatment.

In this study of male patients with non-curly hair, the researchers observed a significant occurrence of folliculitis nuchae linked to close haircuts and shaving, with treatment effectiveness varying by disease phase and best results seen in early stages.

This study observed that platelet-rich plasma treatment significantly reduced hair loss and improved hair density in female Libyan patients with curly hair suffering from androgenic alopecia.

This paper offers detailed tables of genotypic and phenotypic data on horses, including markers, variants, and haplotypes, but reports no new research results.

This review discusses the history and composition of permanent hair waving products for different hair types and reports no new research findings.

This article reviews the structure and chemistry of hair across ethnicities and how these factors affect hair properties and treatment responses, but reports no new research findings.

A mutation in the KRT74 gene causes tightly curled hair.

This study proposes a new, objective method to classify human hair into eight categories based on specific shape measurements, rather than traditional ethnicity-based classifications.

In this study, researchers found that the curliness of human hair is associated with an asymmetric structure at the cellular level, particularly in the differentiation of the precortex.

In this study, specific genetic polymorphisms in the KRT71 gene were associated with hairless and curly phenotypes in Sphynx and Devon Rex cats.

Four genetic risk spots found for hair loss, with WNT signaling involved and a link to curly hair.

This study concluded that the curliness of human hair, regardless of ethnicity, originates from the inhomogeneous internal nanostructure due to differences in the distribution of two types of cortices.

This article reviews major types of genetic hair shaft defects and associated syndromes, emphasizing understanding histologic features and diagnostic methods, but reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, researchers created a mutant mouse lacking the first cut repeat in the Cux/CDP protein, resulting in curly vibrissae and wavy hair, supporting the role of Cux/CDP's DNA binding domains in gene regulation during development.

This study identified a mutation in the keratin 71 gene that causes curly hair in certain rats, advancing our understanding of hair formation.

This letter discusses congenital triangular alopecia (TTA), a non-scarring hair loss condition often seen in children, without reporting new clinical findings.

In this study, researchers used three-dimensional reconstruction to show that the shape of the hair follicle determines the hair's form, with variations observed among different racial groups.

This study observed significant differences in hair care practices and biologic hair parameters between Caucasian and African American women, which may contribute to varying hair fragility and growth.

Proper shaving techniques and specific topical treatments can help manage pseudofolliculitis barbae.

In this study, researchers reported that the application of refolded human K31 keratin protein significantly improved diameter, mechanical strength, and smoothness of chemically damaged hair after a single treatment.

This study found that controlled thermal straightening can achieve irreversible smoothing of curly hair without chemicals, with effectiveness dependent on temperature and cycles, and silicone enhancing straightening quality.

This study observed that individuals with mixed ethnicity had hair that varied widely in shape and showed significant surface damage near the root, differing from monoracial hair characteristics.

In this study, researchers identified a novel homozygous variant in the FAM83G gene responsible for autosomal recessively inherited palmoplantar keratoderma with curly hair in a consanguineous Pakistani family, suggesting FAM83G plays a crucial role in skin and hair homeostasis.

This case report describes a Thai male with TRPS1 who exhibited unique and unreported features such as hypoplastic mandibular condyles, double mental foramina, and distinctive hair abnormalities.

This review discusses the limitations of current hair classification systems and highlights the need for standardized reporting of key hair characteristics to improve study comparisons; it reports no new results.

This article reviews various hair transplant techniques and procedures across different ethnic groups but does not provide new clinical results, highlighting the need for tailored approaches in diverse populations.

This case report describes erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp in a patient undergoing gefitinib treatment for lung cancer, and reviews literature on drug-induced cases of this rare condition.

In this study, researchers introduced the Sanusi FUE Score Scale to better predict and grade the difficulty of follicular unit excision hair transplantation by accounting for diverse hair and skin types, with further validation needed.
