A specific gene mutation causes sparse, brittle hair in a family.

This review discusses the potential roles of prostaglandin D2 and its receptor CRTH2 in various diseases beyond allergies and asthma and reports no new clinical results.

DHEA therapy improves pubic hair growth and psychological well-being in young females with central adrenal insufficiency.

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 the first known instance of dermatomyositis-related panniculitis in the neck and mediastinal region, effectively treated with corticosteroids, dapsone, and colchicine.

This study reports that incorporating Lef-1 transfected dermal papilla cells into human skin equivalents significantly promoted hair follicle differentiation and hair fiber growth, offering a potential advancement for managing skin loss.

Antiandrogen therapy may help treat hidradenitis suppurativa.

This case report presents a rare subtype of hypomyelinating leukodystrophy linked to a PYCR2 gene mutation, emphasizing exome sequencing's value in diagnosing undiagnosed childhood HLDs with atypical symptoms.

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 source reports that trastuzumab deruxtecan improves outcomes in HER2-positive and HER2-low metastatic breast cancer, emphasizing the need for careful adverse event monitoring, particularly for interstitial lung disease, and managing emetic risk to maximize benefits.

This study found that the Bioengineered Exosomal Hair Growth Factors Complex (BEHC™) enhanced human follicle dermal papilla cell proliferation and reduced inflammatory markers in vitro, while significantly decreasing hair shedding and increasing hair density among participants with androgenetic alopecia in an open-label clinical study.

This case report diagnosed variegate porphyria in a 33-year-old woman based on significant laboratory abnormalities, but with clinical features resembling porphyria cutanea tarda.

This review examines the physiological, biochemical, and molecular mechanisms by which DHEA and DHEA-S influence various bodily systems, citing rodent studies, but presents no new clinical results.

This study found that a significant portion of alopecia areata patients achieved at least partial hair regrowth with diphenylcyclopropenon therapy, which was more effective in certain subtypes and disease durations.

This study found that microencapsulated dermal papilla cells in hyaluronic acid/collagen hydrogel retained their ability to initiate hair follicle regeneration, suggesting potential for alopecia treatment.

This study found that deferoxamine may protect against sensorineural hearing loss by reducing oxidative stress-induced hair cell death through iron chelation and activation of the Nrf2 signaling pathway in lab models.

This study found that conditioned medium from human dental pulp stem cells (particularly under hypoxic conditions) improved keratinocyte survival and hair regrowth in a chemotherapy-induced alopecia mouse model and did not promote tumor growth, suggesting potential for safe therapeutic use.

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

This study found that in an Italian population, the HLA-DQB1*03 allele was associated with increased susceptibility to alopecia areata, particularly in cases with more than 50% hair loss.

Low testosterone levels may contribute to female pattern hair loss in men.

This case study highlights the challenges inpatient psychiatric teams face in managing end-of-life care for patients with advanced Alzheimer's, particularly in honoring DNR/DNI orders and coordinating hospice transfers.

This study reported that while both DLQI and HADS showed moderate correlations, only DLQI correlated with clinician-assessed disease severity in patients with alopecia.

This review explores the role of hair follicle dermal stem cells in skin regeneration and restorative therapies, but it reports no new experimental results.

This study found that a novel R343H mutation in the vitamin D receptor gene impairs its transcription activity, contributing to hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets and alopecia in the affected family.

This study found that 9% of tested patients had positive patch test reactions linked to hair care products, with most reactions clinically relevant and commonly involving allergens like p-phenylenediamine.

This case series reports that home use of intense pulsed light devices may effectively reduce hair burden and prevent recurrence of pilonidal disease in patients unable to regularly attend clinic sessions.

This study found that encapsulating dermal papilla spheroids in alginate hydrogel with extracellular matrix proteins increased alkaline phosphatase activity, suggesting an enhanced manipulation of dermal papilla activity.

In this study, 27.9% of Parkinson's disease patients reported hair loss, with a higher incidence linked to a daily levodopa-equivalent dose over 448 mg, suggesting an association between dopaminergic medication use and hair loss complaints.

This study identified complex regulatory elements and interactions involving the Hr gene and HR protein that are crucial for hair follicle formation and cycling in mammals.
