This study found that elevated beta-hydroxybutyrate levels may worsen the inflammatory immune response in alopecia areata patients and could indicate a poor prognosis with chronic hair loss.

This study identified molecular elements controlling the expression and stabilization of THH protein in hair follicle cells, revealing key mechanisms that support hair shaft development in mice.

This case report presents unique histopathological findings in skin lesions of hereditary mucoepithelial dysplasia that have not been previously documented.

This study identified a homozygous missense mutation in the KRTHB5 gene linked to pure hair–nail ectodermal dysplasias in a large consanguineous Pakistani family, providing new insights into the condition's molecular pathogenesis.

This review discusses the role of the hairless protein (HR) in alopecia and cancer, noting its potential importance in cancer cell growth and survival, and reports no new experimental results.

This case study reported on a 3-year-old child with vitamin D-dependent rickets type II treated in the Gaza Strip, whose condition deteriorated despite vitamin D and calcium treatments, leading to recurrent chest infections, respiratory failure, and eventual death.

This study found that while prolactin and DHEA-S levels were higher in women with hirsutism compared to controls, there was no significant correlation between second to fourth digit ratio and hormonal profiles.

This report presents a case of hereditary elliptocytosis in a 37-year-old woman with iron deficiency anemia, identifying a high percentage of elliptocytes in her blood after treatment.

The research identified six functional hair keratin genes and four pseudogenes, providing insights into hair formation and gene organization.

This study reports that a homozygous A1103G mutation in DSG 4 is responsible for localized autosomal recessive hypotrichosis in a 2-year-old Chinese girl, resulting in reduced DSG 4 expression and hair defects.

This study found that Ldh activity in hair follicle stem cell-mediated squamous cell carcinoma is not necessary for tumorigenesis, as its modulation did not affect the cancer's development or characteristics.

This study found that reduced plasma DIAPH1 levels were associated with polycystic ovary syndrome, suggesting DIAPH1 as a potential predictive factor for the condition.

This article discusses the surveillance and spread of hand, foot, and mouth disease in China, Singapore, and Indonesia, and reports no new results, emphasizing the need for improved prevention and management strategies.

This study found that post-hematopoietic cell transplantation epidermal grafting significantly reduced chronic wound size in patients with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa.

This letter discusses how differentiating features in clinical and radiological findings can help distinguish pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis and Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome from lymphangioleiomyomatosis, noting overlapping symptoms but specific distinctive traits.

In this case study, an 8-day-old neonate with holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency showed dramatic improvement in lactic acidosis and overall clinical condition following biotin mega-dose therapy, highlighting the importance of early genetic testing and timely treatment in such metabolic disorders.

Hair diameter diversity helps assess hair loss, but its standard measure varies by individual and ethnicity.

Graft-versus-host disease is a complication where donor immune cells attack the recipient's body, often affecting the skin, liver, and gastrointestinal tract.

This case report describes a father with HOXC13-associated pure hair-nail ectodermal dysplasia, presenting with severe nail dystrophy affecting all digits and notable hypotrichosis or complete alopecia.

This review examines the role of red cell distribution width and its association with iron metabolism and other factors in diagnosing and monitoring various anemic and non-anemic conditions, reporting no new clinical findings.

A gene deletion in DSG4 causes sparse hair in some Pakistani families.

This study identifies a bipotent stem cell in adult hair follicles that self-renews and contributes to dermal sheath and papilla cell populations, potentially aiding hair regrowth after injury, disease, or aging.

This review discusses the roles of the hairless (HR) protein as a corepressor, particularly its impact on RORα-mediated transcriptional repression, and reports no new experimental findings.

This study identified a novel bi-allelic missense variant in the DSC3 gene linked to severe Hypotrichosis with Recurrent Skin Vesicles in a Saudi child, supporting its role in the condition.

The researchers reported that disrupting ATRA signaling by deleting RDHE genes in the hair follicle led to altered hair follicle cycles, composition, and gene expression, indicating RDHEs' role in hair follicle signaling coordination.

This study found that recombinant human ADM2 treatment inhibited cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in human hair follicles, contrasting with the previously documented pro-proliferative and anti-apoptotic functions of ADM2.

Farudodstat may effectively treat alopecia areata without harming hair follicles.

This study found that the ACE gene DD genotype and D allele are linked to an increased risk of hypertensive IHD complications, with dyslipidemia also identified as a significant risk factor for ischemic heart disease.
