This study identified key dermoscopic markers such as yellow dots, black dots, broken hairs, and coudability hairs, which were associated with a poorer prognosis in alopecia areata patients.

This paper reviews current knowledge about androgens' role in androgenic alopecia and female hirsutism but presents no new clinical findings.

In this study of sheep across various breeds and ages, researchers found that Trichophyton mentagrophytes caused severe dermatophytosis, especially affecting young Shahbadi sheep during winter, leading to notable anemia and skin lesions.

In this study, among 800 Pakistani patients with Alopecia Areata, the most common location for hair loss was the scalp (89.9%), with significant associations between age and various dermoscopic features like black dots and exclamation mark hairs.

In this study, the researchers used a human hair follicle model to demonstrate that T cell stimulation can induce an alopecia areata–like phenotype, with cell proliferation and immune privilege collapse; however, the DHODH inhibitor farudodstat partially mitigated these effects by reducing T cell proliferation.

This study observed that patients with alopecia areata had significantly different levels of oxidative stress markers SOD and MDA compared to controls.

This study found that extensive cuticle damage from diperisophthalic acid oxidation did not alter the tensile properties of human hair, suggesting that these properties are mainly due to the cortex rather than the cuticle.

This study found that activating hair follicle resident T cells in a human organ culture can induce an alopecia areata-like immune response, and that the drug farudodstat partially reduced this effect.

This study examined patients with trichostasis spinulosa and identified distinct differences in the distribution and microscopic appearances of lesions compared to keratosis pilaris and eruptive vellus hair cysts.

This case report describes two instances of habit tic nail deformities associated with alopecia areata.

This review discusses the various trichoscopic features of androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata, noting white dots in advanced cases as indicators of poor prognosis, but reports no new clinical results.

This case report observed that an integrated Shodhana-Shamana treatment protocol effectively managed treatment-resistant Ekakustha (plaque psoriasis), resulting in complete symptom resolution and no relapse at follow-up.

This article reviews the role of the hairless protein in hair cycling and gene regulation, noting the need for further understanding of its JmjC domain and subcellular localization roles.

This review discusses testosterone metabolism in human skin and its role in androgenetic skin disorders, suggesting that temporary increases in dihydrotestosterone may lead to these conditions.

This study suggests that the structure and function of the inner root sheath in mammalian hair may have evolved from simpler forms seen in monotremes, aiding in hair exit without damaging the epidermis.

This case series describes three siblings with hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets, highlighting variations in their clinical presentations.

This study found that topical Dithranol 0.5% is more effective than topical Tacrolimus 0.1% for hair regrowth in patients with alopecia areata, with 40% of Dithranol-treated patients showing over 80% hair regrowth compared to 23.33% for Tacrolimus-treated patients.

In this study, researchers found that dermatological diseases like atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and hidradenitis suppurativa impact women's work performance and daily activities more severely than men's, with women reporting higher absenteeism and work impairment and lower work ability scores.

The researchers reported that PPARβ/δ may influence the yak hair follicle cycle by modulating lipid metabolism in dermal papilla cells, with varying expression during different hair growth phases, affecting both lipid content and cell proliferation.

This study found that yellow dots were the most common trichoscopic finding in adult patients with alopecia areata, observed in 88.5% of cases.

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 structural and molecular changes in Ganxi goat skin that adapt to hot and humid climates and suggested that GSDMA might play a role in hair follicle regulation and skin homeostasis, though further research is needed to confirm its function in environmental adaptation.

The man's hair loss and skin papules were diagnosed as atrichia with papular lesions, not alopecia areata universalis.

This study found that in PCOS patients, a lower TT/DHT ratio is associated with regular menstruation, while higher ratios are linked to insulin resistance, suggesting its potential as a biomarker for metabolic severity in these patients.

Vitamin D3 affects cell differentiation in specific skin areas.

This abstract discusses two types of hereditary vitamin D metabolism defects, VDDR I and VDDR II, and reports on their distinct characteristics and treatment responses, without presenting new clinical data.

This study suggests that while vitamin D3 deficiency is linked to alopecia areata severity, evidence for the effectiveness of supplementation or topical calcipotriol treatment remains inconsistent and low quality.

This study suggests that male pattern baldness is primarily caused by heat stress in the brain rather than DHT toxicity, and personal experiments with menthol cooling have shown significant reduction in hair loss.

This study presents a microscopic analysis of the pruritic variant of trichostasis spinulosa in two patients and reviews existing literature, reporting no new clinical results.

In this study using rats, finasteride-induced DHT deficiency led to morphological changes in seminiferous tubules, linked with altered junctional protein expression, potentially impairing fertility.
