This study found that a peripilar white gray halo around hair emergence is a highly specific and sensitive dermatoscopic feature for diagnosing central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in African American patients with mild central thinning.

In this case report, researchers described a two-year-old girl with Vitamin D dependent rickets Type II, noting elevated 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and alopecia, and observed limited treatment response likely due to poor compliance.

This article reviews the early establishment of dermatology as a specialty in the U.S. and documents the initial descriptive errors in understanding Darier's disease, offering no new clinical data.

In this study on C57BL/6 mice, researchers found that cadmium chloride exposure led to metabolic disruption, accelerated skin aging, and impaired hair regeneration, with more severe effects observed at higher doses.

This study reported the creation of isogenic immortalized COL7A1-deficient keratinocyte lines, providing a model for researching Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa biology and potential therapies.

This study observed that DNA damage response (DDR) plays a key role in pressure overload-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, with disruption of the ATM kinase pathway potentially modulating this hypertrophy in mice.

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

This study found that decorin treatment significantly enhances dermal papilla cell proliferation, promoting hair follicle growth by influencing the SMAD3/TGF-β signaling pathway through exosomal miR-129–2-3p, which may aid in novel strategies for treating hair disorders and enhancing wool production.

The I National Academic Congress of Dermatology in 2021 expanded to include participants from across Brazil and discussed dermatology topics, including COVID-19.

This case report discusses the diagnostic challenges and management options for three siblings with 46, XY DSD due to type 2 5-α reductase deficiency, highlighting the genetic basis and impact on their quality of life.

In this study, a novel VDR gene mutation was identified in a child with HVDRR, and the researchers observed that high-dose intravenous calcium therapy led to significant and sustained improvement in rickets symptoms.

This review discusses central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia and emphasizes the need for more research to understand and manage the disease, while also suggesting initiatives like educating hairstylists for early detection.

This case report from India observed that short-term cabergoline treatment brought clinical and biochemical remission in a 12-year-old with persistent Cushing disease after surgery and radiotherapy.

This study concludes that the Greek version of the Dysmorphic Concern Questionnaire is a reliable and valid tool for assessing body dysmorphic disorder-related concerns in both research and clinical settings.

This study, conducted at Montefiore Medical Center, reports that central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia predominantly affects middle-aged Black or African American women, often presenting without symptoms, which may delay diagnosis and treatment. The study underscores the need for a specific ICD-10 code for better epidemiological studies.

This case report describes a 33-year-old Kashmiri woman with Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome who has a rare DCAF17 gene mutation, c.321+1G>A, providing further evidence for its role in the genetic basis of this neuroendocrine disorder.

This study identifies mutations in the SRD5A3 gene as a cause of a new type of congenital disorder of glycosylation, impacting mental, ophthalmologic, and cerebellar functions.

This study observed that PCE-DP may improve skin pigmentation by increasing epidermal turnover and inhibiting melanin uptake and inflammation in human epidermal keratinocytes.

This case report describes a patient's psychiatric and medical journey after a cardiac arrest, focusing on managing agitated behavior without medication, leading to significant improvement in cognitive function over a 5-week hospital stay.

This study suggests that adding imiquimod to diphenylcyclopropenone treatment significantly improves outcomes for alopecia areata patients who initially do not respond to diphenylcyclopropenone alone.

Allergic contact dermatitis may promote hair growth by activating hair follicle stem cells.

In this study, forced expression of the transcription factor cDermo-1 in chicken dermis led to the formation of ectopic feather buds and enhanced feather growth, demonstrating its role in initiating skin appendage development.

This study found that deleting the CD98hc protein in mouse skin impairs wound healing and homeostasis, resembling aging effects, due to disrupted integrin signaling pathways.

This article explores potential risk factors for central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia and suggests that seborrheic dermatitis may play a role in its development, but it reports no new scientific findings.

This quiz article provides a series of dermatological diagnosis questions based on a Journal of Investigative Dermatology article and includes explanations but reports no original research findings.

This report describes siblings with vitamin D-dependent rickets type 2, characterized by growth retardation, alopecia totalis, and low 25(OH)D3 levels, highlighting its autosomal recessive pattern and distinction from other rickets types.

Using a combination of specific cell cycle regulators is better for safely keeping hair root cells alive indefinitely compared to cancer-related methods.

This study explored dermatoscopic and histopathologic findings of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia beyond the vertex scalp, suggesting that dermatoscopy might serve as a less invasive diagnostic tool for subclinical disease.

This article reviews central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, including its various forms and potential multifactorial causes, but provides no new clinical findings.

In this study, researchers explored the dermatologic manifestations of celiac disease in children, highlighting dermatitis herpetiformis and other common skin conditions, and concluded that early recognition and management with a gluten-free diet and possible pharmacological interventions enhance outcomes.
