This study reports a novel missense mutation in the HR gene in a 68-year-old Hungarian woman with alopecia universalis and limb deformities, suggesting a need for further research on its role in these conditions.

In this study, researchers investigated changes in ribosomal RNA modifications associated with stress-induced cellular senescence in human skin cells, identifying potential biomarkers and targets for interventions to mitigate skin aging.

In this study, researchers engineered ventral skin organoids (vSkOs) with specific cellular compositions and signaling environments to generate human amnion-like tissues called Amnioids, offering new tools for studying human development and potential regenerative therapies.

Activating Wnt in skin cells controls the number of hair follicles by directing cell movement and fate.

This study found that the loss of transcription factor Ovol2 in epidermal and hair follicle stem cells leads to migration defects, which are partially improved by deleting the EMT-inducing Zeb1.

In this case report, an 80-year-old male with severe sycosis barbae and no animal contact was successfully treated with oral terbinafine after diagnostic sequencing identified Trichophyton verrucosum as the infecting species.

This study identified a new genotype, V281+I172N/V281L, linked to non-classical 21-hydroxylase deficiency, suggesting it should be considered in genetic panels for the condition.

This study found that the absence of vitamin D receptor-mediated suppression of PPARγ expression causes hair loss in VDR-null mice.

This study found that rete ridge morphogenesis in mammalian skin is directed by a BMP-dependent developmental program, which is evolutionarily distinct from other known pathways controlling the development of hair follicles, sweat glands, and fingerprint ridges.

This study analyzed patients with X-linked dominant chondrodysplasia punctata and identified novel mutations in the emopamil-binding protein gene, highlighting the need for genetic testing alongside biochemical analysis for accurate diagnosis.

This study characterized the intron-exon organization of human keratin 15 and keratin 19 genes to aid future mutation detection analyses related to potential genetic disorders of keratinization.
