This letter to the editor describes a case of anagen effluvium due to thallium poisoning from Chinese herbal medicine and rodenticide but reports no new research findings.

This study describes a patient with hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets (HVDRR) who, despite having a truncated vitamin D receptor, did not exhibit typical hair or skin abnormalities, suggesting possible compensation via interactions with other proteins.

This study found that mutations in exon 3 of the hr gene are strongly associated with congenital hypotrichosis in Valle del Belice sheep, suggesting a potential genetic link to the disorder.

This study found that FZD2 is crucial for hair follicle formation and postnatal growth in mice and has a novel role in regulating early epidermal development, including stratification and cornification.

In this study, researchers identified and examined males with 17 beta-HSD3 deficiency in a highly inbred Arab population, noting genetic findings and the progression of male characteristics despite being raised as females initially.

This study found that dihydrotestosterone (DHT) may shorten the hair growth cycle through mechanisms like cell-cycle arrest and β-catenin downregulation in rat hair follicle cells.

This study demonstrated that the Thai version of the FDLQI is a valid and reliable tool for assessing the quality of life of family members of patients with dermatological diseases.

This case report presents an instance of tufted hair folliculitis in a woman treated with trastuzumab, highlighting a previously unreported skin side effect of this selective HER2 inhibitor.

This study found that applying topical thymidine dinucleotide (pTT) to newborn mice before UV exposure delayed and reduced melanoma development compared to untreated controls.

This case report highlights an unusual trichoscopic appearance in alopecia areata due to dithranol staining, which may obscure typical patterns and reveal atypical vascular features in the interfollicular spaces.

This study identified a mutation in the KRTHB6 gene in two monilethrix families of Indian origin, linking specific genetic variations to different severities of hair defects within the families.

Mutations in the TSPEAR gene cause a new form of ectodermal dysplasia affecting hair and tooth development.

This study identified several DPC-specific proteins, including ITGB1, IGFBP3, and THBS1, as potential biomarkers for hair growth modulation through proteomic and network analysis.

This study identified a new enzyme, skin l‐tryptophan‐2,3‐dioxygenase, that may play a role in rat hair growth regulation, showing increased activity during peak hair growth periods.

This review discusses the production, role, and measurement of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in various disorders of sexual development but does not report new clinical results.

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.

This study reports that hair transplantation using follicular unit extraction and direct hair implantation can effectively restore scalp hair in post-burn alopecia, achieving natural hair direction and satisfactory growth density.

This commentary discusses ethical concerns with direct-to-consumer teledermatology services, highlighting potential conflicts of interest and issues with care quality.

This review discusses the use of topical immunotherapy for severe alopecia areata and resistant viral warts, highlighting diphencyprone's advantages and the need for careful handling to avoid staff sensitisation; it reports no new clinical results.

This study identified two novel point mutations in the hHb6 gene associated with monilethrix, suggesting these mutations could serve as diagnostic markers for this genetic hair disorder.

This study provides definitive evidence that a homozygous mutation in the DSC3 gene causes skin fragility and hypotrichosis in humans.

In this study, dihydrotestosterone increased proliferation and decreased IL-6 production in in-vitro fibroblasts from hereditary gingival fibromatosis and normal gingiva, effects partially reversed by anti-androgens.

This report describes eleven cases of thallium poisoning in individuals who consumed tortillas made from barley mixed with thallium sulphate, leading to symptoms including tingling, abdominal pain, vomiting, and limb weakness.

This study found that Arabidopsis thaliana mutants with altered AtRBOHC/RHD2 enzyme function showed abnormal protein regulation linked to increased drought sensitivity due to disrupted plasma membrane protein balance and cytoskeleton changes, as revealed through proteomic analysis and advanced microscopy.

This review discusses consumers' positive attitudes towards direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical advertising, highlighting its impact on patient engagement despite physicians' mixed opinions on its influence on the doctor-patient relationship.

This review discusses recent insights into Birt–Hogg–Dube syndrome, including the functions of the FLCN gene and clinical recommendations for screening and treatment, but it reports no new experimental results.

This review discusses the genetic basis of ectodermal dysplasia, highlighting that identification of gene pathologies enhances diagnosis and supports prenatal DNA testing, but it reports no new clinical results.

In this report, a 19-year-old Japanese man experienced severe and prolonged urticarial reactions following treatment with diphenylcyclopropenone for alopecia universalis, emphasizing the need for caution with potent sensitizers.
