This study developed a double-wavelength laser scanning microphotometer to measure hair shaft and follicle absorbance, improving spatial resolution and reducing light scattering effects in vitro.

This case report describes a novel mutation in the CDH3 gene in an 11-year-old Iranian boy with sparse scalp hair and macular dystrophy, leading to altered P-cadherin synthesis.

This study found that the vitamin D receptor, but not its ligand, regulates genes involved in hair cycle progression, suggesting a role in integrating hormone signaling pathways for hair and epidermal functions.

This study found that human placenta hydrolysate effectively inhibited atopic dermatitis development in stimulated human cells and a mouse model, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic agent for related skin diseases.

This study created a humanized mouse model of hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets that lacks alopecia, indicating the mutant receptor's potential to explore the syndrome's characteristics beyond vitamin D binding.

In this study, researchers identified two distinct homozygous mutations in the KRT85 gene among consanguineous Pakistani families with pure hair and nail ectodermal dysplasia, highlighting variations in severity and potential impacts on the K85 protein function.

In this study, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 inhibited growth and promoted differentiation in normal hair follicle cells but did not affect cells from a patient with vitamin D-dependent rickets type II, assisting in potential rapid diagnosis of the condition.

Dengue fever can cause hair loss that may lead to serious psychological issues like Body Dysmorphic Disorder in young women.

This study found that real-time 2-D Doppler echo of intracardiac blood flow helps evaluate myocardial infarction severity, with persistent late systolic inflow indicating worse left ventricular function.

This article reviews approved treatments for androgenetic alopecia and reports no new research findings, highlighting the need for further studies.

In this case-control study, the researchers found that human beta-defensin 1 concentration was not a significant predictor of alopecia areata susceptibility or severity.

In this study, a novel DCAF17 gene mutation was identified in a Chinese family, suggesting a potential role in pancreatic β cell dysfunction and diabetes development in Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome.

Farudodstat may help treat alopecia areata by protecting hair follicles.

A specific gene mutation is linked to a hereditary form of dystonia that responds well to certain medications.

Hairless protein helps control hair growth by regulating vitamin D receptor activity.

In this study, researchers reported no significant association between ABO or Rh blood groups and the incidence of hidradenitis suppurativa among patients compared to healthy controls.

This study identified a novel mutation, R430Q in the KRT86 gene, in a Han family with monilethrix, which may contribute to the disease's pathogenic mechanism.

The document concludes that detailed clinical descriptions of seven family cases help understand dominant dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa's symptoms and inheritance.

This study found that dihydromyricetin may reduce fibrosis features in hypertrophic scars by affecting PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling, but further research is needed to confirm causality.

This study found that adults with β-thalassemia major had a significantly higher prevalence of skin, hair, and nail disorders compared to healthy controls, influenced by factors like age, gender, and ferritin levels.

This study found that the distribution of desmogleins is associated with specific types of keratinization and hair anchorage, as well as hypotrichosis.

In this study, diode laser treatment showed greater efficacy in reducing facial hair and increasing satisfaction among hirsutism patients with normal levels of DHEAS and DHT, compared to those with deranged levels, although some benefits were observed across both groups.

This study identified enzymes responsible for regulating androgen action in the human prostate, suggesting that inhibiting AKR1C2 or RL-HSD may have therapeutic potential in androgen insufficiency or benign prostatic hyperplasia, respectively.

In this case report, a 46-year-old woman initially diagnosed with 21-hydroxylase deficiency congenital adrenal hyperplasia was later identified as having 3β-HSD2 deficiency after further investigation, highlighting the need for awareness of rarer CAH forms to prevent delayed diagnosis and insufficient treatment.

This study found that dysregulation of the folliculin-p0071 interaction may lead to changes in cell adhesion and signaling, contributing to conditions like emphysema and renal cell carcinoma.

A common mutation in the hHb6 gene is linked to monilethrix, but other factors may also play a role.

This paper discusses the management of pregnancy in a carrier of the Donohue mutation and reports no new clinical findings.

This study identifies unique gene expression patterns in specialized fibroblasts within adult hair follicles, which advances understanding of their role in tissue regeneration.

In this study, mutations in the vitamin D receptor were identified in Brazilian children with rickets and alopecia, leading to impaired receptor activation and reduced 24-hydroxylase expression.
