This review discusses the genetic basis of ectodermal dysplasia, highlighting that identification of gene pathologies enhances diagnosis and supports prenatal DNA testing, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that preconditioning adipose-derived stem cells with HB-EGF enhanced their ability to promote hair growth in vivo by increasing their motility, paracrine effects, and survival.

This study reports a case of a child with congenital skin fragility, alopecia, and cardiomyopathy due to compound heterozygous mutations in the DSP gene causing desmoplakin deficiency.

This study found that patients with Bachmann-Bupp syndrome treated with DFMO showed improvements in hair growth, muscle tone, and development.

This study found that distinct isoenzymes of 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase are expressed in human adrenals and gonads compared to the placenta and skin.

This review covers the molecular basis of Birt–Hogg–Dubé syndrome and its implications for potential therapeutic targets, but it does not report new experimental results.

This article describes a case of dyschromatosis universalis in a young Saudi Arabian girl, discussing similar cases reported outside the Far East where the condition was initially identified, but provides no new research findings.

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

In this study, scalp biopsies from HJMD patients revealed histological similarities to chronic telogen effluvium and highlighted the role of CDH3 mutations disrupting normal hair cycles.

Hair differentiation starts earlier than thought, involving multiple type-II keratins.

Certain enzymes react strongly with some hormones in rat skin during hair growth, mainly in sebaceous glands and hair sheaths.

This study identifies comedonal or cystic fibrofolliculomas as novel diagnostic clues for earlier recognition of Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome, potentially facilitating timely surveillance of associated systemic complications.

This study found that histidine decarboxylase is crucial for the hair-inducing ability of newborn mouse dermal cells, with its expression significantly decreasing in the first few days after birth.

This study presents the first reported Spanish case of Hypotrichosis with Juvenile Macular Dystrophy, identifying a new CDH3 mutation and highlighting the importance of clinical and genetic evaluation for accurate diagnosis.

This study characterized two siblings with hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets and a mutation in the vitamin D receptor, finding no immune-related disorders despite a defective T cell response to vitamin D.

In this study, treatment with recombinant DKK2 was shown to significantly stimulate hair progenitor cell growth and enhance hair shaft elongation in ex vivo human hair follicle cultures by activating the Wnt/ẞ-catenin signaling pathway, suggesting a potential role for DKK2 in promoting hair growth.

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 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 study found pathogenic mutations in genes EDA, EDA1R, and EDARADD in 101 out of 124 hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia patients, revealing 23 novel mutations and indicating genetic variability.

This review discusses inherited forms of vitamin D-dependent rickets and explains their genetic and metabolic causes but reports no new clinical findings.

This study observed that CDH3-related congenital hypotrichosis with juvenile macular dystrophy presents with childhood-onset progressive chorioretinal atrophy and universally thin and sparse scalp hair.

Hair follicle dermal stem cells help control hair growth timing by regulating signals at the hair germ–dermal papilla interface.

HGF combined with ADA is highly accurate for diagnosing tuberculous pleural effusion, especially in younger females.

Patients with Focal Dermal Hypoplasia often experience skin, nail, hair, and bone issues, and may benefit from calcium and vitamin D supplements.

This announcement from the President of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery reports the formation and incorporation of the International Board of Hair Restoration Surgery, but offers no new research findings.

This study observed a strong negative association between the HLA-DQB1*0201 allele and the alopecia totalis/alopecia universalis phenotype in Caucasian individuals, indicating a potential protective role.

This study highlights a rare case of vitamin D-dependent rickets type 2A caused by a heterozygous mutation in the vitamin D receptor gene, emphasizing the complexity of managing this condition with high-dose calcium and vitamin D therapy.

Some Greek melanoma patients have gene mutations linked to increased cancer risk, a new color feature helps diagnose melanoma, the incidence of a skin condition in the Netherlands is rare, and a gene possibly affects male-pattern baldness.

This study found that loss of the folliculin protein delays transferrin receptor recycling, leading to iron deficiency and suggesting a role in the mechanisms of Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome.
