This study highlights the complexity of diagnosing scalp fungal infections, emphasizing how clinical evaluation, trichoscopy, and cultural samples are essential in distinguishing tinea capitis from similar conditions like piedra, seborrheic dermatitis, and psoriasis, due to overlapping symptoms like scaling and hair changes.

This study identified specific keratin-associated protein genes that are highly expressed in different varieties and sexes of Angora goats, providing insights for improving mohair development through targeted breeding strategies.

In this study, researchers observed that spontaneously mutated mice with a hair loss phenotype exhibited significant differential expression of genes related to keratinization and hair follicle formation, suggesting these mice could model human alopecia for future research and treatment development.

This nested case-control study observed that patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia or androgenic alopecia who had a cumulative 5-ARI dose exceeding 5840 defined daily doses had a significantly reduced mortality risk, while lower doses were linked to higher mortality and suicide rates.

In this study, researchers used high-resolution MRI to distinguish anatomical differences in the scalp and hair follicles between tertiary androgenetic alopecia and severe alopecia areata, identifying subcutaneous tissue layer thickness as a key discriminative factor with high diagnostic value.

This case report discusses a rare instance of pseudolymphomatous folliculitis in a 19-year-old man, highlighting the challenge in diagnosing PLF due to its low clinical suspicion index and variable initial clinical diagnoses.

This study found that hair damage from sunlight and chemical processes like perms and bleaching varies in internal microstructure changes, suggesting that protective techniques should be tailored to the type of chemical treatment used.

This study found that DHEA significantly inhibited growth and induced autophagy in a mouse melanoma cell line, but showed only muffled inhibition and induced apoptosis in a human melanoma cell line.

Azathioprine may help with severe hair loss, a new topical treatment could counteract hair thinning, and trichoscopy can diagnose hair-pulling disorder effectively.

This study demonstrated that the differential wetting characterization (DWC) method can effectively differentiate changes in the wetting properties of hair fibers after chemical or physical treatment.

In this study, significant differences in the expression of type I IRS keratin genes were observed in the groins of three sheep breeds during wool growth, related to hair follicle density.

This study found that p63 and p73 regulate the vitamin D receptor (VDR), with p63 influencing cancer cell behaviors and p73 playing a role in vitamin D-mediated differentiation.

This study identified specific genes that are more abundantly expressed in black hair than in gray hair, with black hair displaying higher expression of pigment-related proteins and gray hair showing increased expression of keratin-related genes.

This study identified four genes related to alopecia areata: GIMAP6 and ALOX15 as risk factors, and GALNT6 and HEG1 as protective factors, noting significant validation differences in GALNT6 and HEG1.

Detailed history and physical examination are crucial for diagnosing hair loss.

This study identified 674 differentially expressed proteins in the skin tissues of male and female Chinese merino sheep, suggesting gender-specific molecular mechanisms that may affect wool traits.

This study found that transplanted ES cell-derived epidermal stem cells promoted the formation of epidermis, sweat gland-like, sebaceous gland-like, and hair follicle-like structures in mouse skin defects.

This study identified numerous genes that change expression across the anagen, catagen, and telogen stages of cashmere goat hair follicle development, highlighting key signaling pathways involved.

This study found that thyroxine modulates peripheral molecular clock gene expression in human hair follicles, which may have implications for treating clock-related diseases in patients with thyroid dysfunction.

This study found that long non-coding RNAs are differentially expressed in androgenetic alopecia, suggesting potential roles in its development and novel targets for prevention and treatment.

This case report details a 25-year-old woman with progressive scalp hair loss, extensive baldness, and facial hirsutism since adolescence, despite normal libidinal desires and body weight.

This study found that the genes FCER1A and RGS1 are promising biomarkers for diagnosing systemic lupus erythematosus, with FCER1A downregulated and RGS1 upregulated in patients.

This study found that all four subtypes of psoriasis were associated with a higher prevalence of autoimmune diseases compared to individuals without psoriasis, with variation in the specific autoimmune disorders associated with each subtype.

This study found that co-culturing dermal papilla cells in a 3D structure with adipose-derived stem cells may enhance the expression of hair inductivity markers compared to 2D cultures.

This study found that sebocytes in human skin express and secrete certain adipokines, suggesting they might play active roles in skin inflammation rather than just being targets.

This study demonstrates that stem cells from human foreskins, which lack hair follicles, can differentiate into melanocytes and migrate to the epidermis, potentially altering our understanding of pigmentation disorders.

This study concluded that a 26-year-old woman had autosomal dominantly inherited hereditary cortisol insensitivity, leading to increased adrenocortical cortisol and androgen secretion, which caused clinical symptoms unlike in her male relatives.

This study found that red light exposure significantly enhanced the growth, phytochemical content, and therapeutic potential of Eclipta alba callus cultures compared to other multispectral light exposures.

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