This review discusses the similarities between myotonic dystrophy and aging, highlighting the role of cellular senescence in its pathophysiology, and reports no new clinical findings; the authors note potential anti-aging therapy applications.

This study found that desmocollin 1 is crucial for strong adhesion and barrier maintenance in the mouse epidermis, with its absence leading to skin and hair issues resembling chronic dermatitis.

This study found that VDR deficiency in mice leads to various skin pathologies but does not affect the phenotype or function of Langerhans cells.

In a retrospective cohort of patients with steroid 5 α-reductase 2 deficiency, this study identified seven novel genetic variants in the SRD5A2 gene, expanding the variant database and contributing to improved diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for the condition.

This narrative review discusses the presentation and progression of discoid lupus erythematosus in chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus and does not report new research findings.

This case report details a severe instance of VDR-II where intravenous calcium infusions, administered nightly, successfully improved clinical, radiological, and biochemical signs of rickets without alopecia despite ineffective calcitriol therapy.

This study observed that the small molecules KY19382 and KY19334 inhibited cancerous traits in human cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma cells by suppressing the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, indicating their potential as treatments for cancers involving CDK1 overexpression and diseases related to CXXC5 accumulation.

This study found that cadmium adsorption on human hair varies significantly between individuals, likely due to differences in hair acidity, and nearly complete removal can be achieved with strong acid solutions.

This study reports on an ongoing Phase I/IIa clinical trial of ex vivo gene therapy for treating severe Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa, involving six adult participants with COL7A1 mutations resulting in deficient type VII collagen production.

This article reviews DPCP's use as a topical immunotherapy for alopecia areata and discusses its suggested mechanism, but reports no clinical results.

This report highlights a case of possible association between myotonic dystrophy type 1 and basal cell carcinoma, urging clinicians to consider this link despite negative genetic testing for known hereditary BCC syndromes.

This study identified CCCA in 10 children of African descent, highlighting the occurrence of this scarring alopecia in patients under 18 and the importance of early diagnosis for better outcomes.

This case report highlights that CCCA can present with multifocal patchy hair loss in younger men of African descent, suggesting the need for careful evaluation when diagnosing atypical alopecia patterns.

A gene called APCDD1, which controls hair growth, is found to be faulty in a type of hair loss called hereditary hypotrichosis simplex.

This review discusses the role of the enzyme Δ9-desaturase-1 in skin lipid regulation and whole-body energy balance in mice and reports no new experimental results.

This study identified a novel V26M mutation in the vitamin D receptor as the cause of hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets in a patient, characterized by severe rickets and an unusual pattern of alopecia.

This report highlights a new genetic variant of Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome in two sisters from the first identified family case in Russia, emphasizing the varied manifestations of the disorder and the importance of genetic testing for diagnosis and patient-specific treatment planning.

This study systematically reviewed clinical findings in trichothiodystrophy patients and suggested a new clinico-genetic classification to help better understand the ichthyotic phenotype and its management.

The exam tested knowledge on various skin-related topics for CME credit.

This study found that certain C57BL/6 mouse substrains have a genetic vulnerability to skin lesions resembling central centrifugal cicatrical alopecia in humans, potentially worsened by high vitamin A levels.

This study reported a series of eight children with hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets in Tunisia, identifying both common and novel mutations in the vitamin D receptor gene, and noting significant improvement with intravenous calcium treatment in most patients.

This paper is a compilation of chapters discussing various aspects of cosmetic dermatology and surgery but reports no new clinical results.

In this case study, DDS treatment for LABD was complicated by hemolytic anemia and alopecia, suggesting the need for careful monitoring of these potential side effects.

This letter to the editor shares concerns about possible systemic effects from topical dinitrochlorobenzene therapy in a 25-year-old man treating alopecia areata.

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 case study described a Staffordshire Bull Terrier diagnosed with alopecia by color dilution, characterized by gradual hair loss and confirmed through clinical examination and histopathology.

This study found that 49% of female breast cancer patients treated with CDK4/6 inhibitors for at least three months developed alopecia, which significantly impacted their quality of life, with greater alopecia severity leading to worse emotional and functional well-being.

This study on Qatari patients with Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome highlights the high incidence and diverse clinical presentation due to a specific genetic variant, emphasizing early diagnosis for effective management.
