This study found that organ-cultured human scalp hair follicles can mimic chemotherapy-induced damage in vivo and serve as a model to explore molecular targets and protective agents for hair follicle preservation.

This study found that matrix progenitor cell differentiation in hair growth has distinct early and late phases, and generated a mouse model to explore the hair follicle's role in harlequin ichthyosis.

This study identified novel compound heterozygous mutations in the DSG4 gene in a Japanese patient with congenital hypotrichosis, suggesting overlap between localized autosomal recessive hypotrichosis and monilethrix.

This study found that hyaluronic acid increased the size and cell proliferation of mixed aggregates in a 3D culture model, indicating its role in human hair follicle germ-like structure formation without enhancing dermal papilla cell markers.

Hair disorders need a holistic approach, including medical, cosmetic, and psychological support.

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

This article reviews the use of dermatoscopy and videodermatoscopy in therapeutic follow-up, noting that videodermatoscopy is a reliable tool despite potential cost issues with high magnifications.

This study developed a novel system that can automatically estimate hair loss parameters from images without expert input, reporting satisfactory results from testing on samples collected in Kolkata.

This article describes the development of a patient handout database by the SPD to provide reliable medical information for use by various healthcare providers; it reports no new clinical results.

This review examines the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management strategies for non-classic congenital hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, and provides evidence-based recommendations for its treatment and genetic counseling.

This study found that after four weeks of daily use, the roughness of the hair surface significantly decreased, as shown through quantitative image analysis using HIROX.

Avoiding dyed wigs and clothing improved severe allergic reactions in a woman treated with diphencyprone.

This paper discusses various hair diseases and provides sample patient instruction sheets, offering a template for physicians to potentially integrate into their practice, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses methods to better identify unsafe donor areas in patients with diffuse unpatterned alopecia, emphasizing non-surgical management when specific diagnostic criteria are met, but reports no new clinical results.

This comprehensive book on hair disorders covers various topics, including alopecia and hair replacement techniques, and provides extensive bibliographies but does not report new clinical results.

This study found that untreated hirsute patients have lower expression of type 2 17β-HSD mRNA in scalp hairs, indicating potential disturbances in androgen metabolism, compared to treated hirsute patients.

This report documents the first case of congenital hypotrichosis in a cervid, observed in a 4-month-old male white-tailed deer fawn in South Dakota.

This study found that deleting all three Tet genes in mice led to shorter hair shafts and altered hair types, with associated changes in gene expression and DNA hydroxymethylation.

This study found that decorin treatment significantly enhances dermal papilla cell proliferation, promoting hair follicle growth by influencing the SMAD3/TGF-β signaling pathway through exosomal miR-129–2-3p, which may aid in novel strategies for treating hair disorders and enhancing wool production.

This study reports the first case of airway involvement in Conradi–Hünermann–Happle syndrome, highlighting successful management of severe subglottic stenosis with serial endoscopic balloon dilations in a 2-month-old female.

This article discusses the role of dermal papilla and dermal sheath cells in the hair cycle and reviews finasteride and minoxidil's mechanisms in promoting hair growth, but presents no new clinical findings.

In this study, oral cyproterone acetate reduced hair density and diameter in women with idiopathic hirsutism, but the effects were not permanent after stopping treatment, and plasma androgen levels remained unchanged.

This article discusses the surgical technique of "deroofing" for hidradenitis suppurativa, highlighting its advantages over traditional methods but reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize the importance of dietary management as part of treatment.

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 reports that the near-naked hairless mutation in mice is not an allele of the Hairless gene but may involve a mutation in a linked gene or a regulatory mutation.

In this case study, drospirenone use masked the diagnosis of a rare form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, suggesting a possible delay in detecting underlying endocrinopathies.

This study found that applying a 1% sodium N-(dihydrolipoyl)-l-histidinate zinc complex lotion to the scalp did not prevent chemotherapy-induced alopecia in breast cancer patients, but it may aid recovery.

This study found that a new three-dimensional high-frequency ultrasound (3D-HFUS) can successfully visualize skin tumors and inflammatory hair diseases, offering promising noninvasive diagnostic and evaluation capabilities compared to traditional two-dimensional methods.
