This study observed that vitamin D receptor knockout mice exhibit impaired epidermal differentiation and progressive hair loss, suggesting the importance of the vitamin D receptor in normal skin and hair follicle development.

This study found that inhibiting the PI3Kδ enzyme in murine models of cutaneous chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) reduced skin scores and fibrosis, prevented pathogenic lymphoid structures, and improved survival, suggesting it as a promising therapeutic approach to address the disease's hypoxic pathophysiology.

This study suggests that mutation-targeted siRNA therapy could potentially treat keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome by selectively reducing harmful GJB2 mutant gene expression in patient-derived keratinocytes.

In this study, distinct clinical responses and long-term resistances were observed in two pediatric patients with vitamin D-dependency type II, associated with abnormalities in their skin fibroblast interactions with 1,25-(OH)2D3.

This study found that Acvr1b signaling is crucial for both hair follicle development and cycling in mice, with the genetic disruption leading to hair loss and a thickened epidermis.

Versican in dermal papilla cells is crucial for healthy hair growth.

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 HtrA2 inactivation in mnd2 mice is associated with delayed hair cycle phases and growth retardation of adipocytes, suggesting HtrA2's role in regulating adipogenesis-related hair growth.

This review reports on the potential for deucravacitinib, an oral TYK2 inhibitor approved for psoriasis, to treat various immune-mediated diseases, with emerging research suggesting possible uses in neurodegenerative diseases and certain cancers.

Hair loss might be the first sign of dengue fever.

This review highlights that deucravacitinib, a selective TYK2 inhibitor, shows promise as an effective treatment for psoriasis and other inflammatory skin diseases, though real-world evidence beyond psoriasis is still emerging.

This study identified a novel bi-allelic missense variant in the DSC3 gene linked to severe Hypotrichosis with Recurrent Skin Vesicles in a Saudi child, supporting its role in the condition.

This article describes viDA Therapeutics Inc.'s focus on developing new drugs for age-related conditions using their proprietary granzyme-based approach but reports no clinical outcomes, primarily discussing their funding and business strategy.

In this study, researchers identified CENPV as a new CYLD interacting partner that localizes to primary cilia and regulates acetylated tubulin levels, offering insights into the pathogenesis of skin appendage tumors.

This case study reports on a rare form of vitamin D resistant rickets in a 37-year-old male, highlighting the condition's clinical features and the necessity for a thorough understanding of calcium and vitamin D metabolism in the diagnosis and management of metabolic bone diseases.

This study suggests that lithocholic acid may enhance hair regeneration in alopecia by activating vitamin D receptors in human dermal papilla cells.

In this case report, a four-year-old girl was diagnosed with vitamin D-dependent rickets type II, manifesting as diffuse alopecia, frontal bossing, hypoplastic teeth, and skin-colored papules, due to a genetic mutation causing resistance to 1.25-dihydroxy vitamin D.

In this case–control study, the researchers in Ukraine found no significant link between VDR rs2228570 polymorphism and decreased serum BDNF levels, though they observed a moderate correlation between serum BDNF and 25-OH Vitamin D levels in patients with thyroid disorders.

In this case study, a rare viral infection called trichodysplasia spinulosa was diagnosed in a 10-year-old girl post-kidney transplant; she was treated successfully with reduced immunosuppression alongside leflunomide and valganciclovir, though the efficacy of valganciclovir remains uncertain.

This study found that restoring vitamin D receptor expression in keratinocytes of VDR null mice prevents alopecia by enhancing the hair follicle's proliferative response during anagen initiation.

This research suggests that the vitamin D receptor may regulate hair follicle cycling and provide genoprotection against skin carcinogenesis through a mechanism independent of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, based on evidence from mouse models.

This study identified genetic variations in the DSG4 gene among sheep, revealing valuable markers for assessing their impact on wool traits.

This study found that mice lacking the Vitamin D receptor showed disrupted hair follicle cycling, which was partially restored with hedgehog signaling pathway activation, suggesting a role for this pathway in follicle regulation independent of vitamin D.

This study found that the TYK2 inhibitor deucravacitinib did not significantly improve hair regrowth in patients with alopecia areata compared to placebo, suggesting it may not be effective for this condition. No new safety issues were identified.

This case report presents the dental challenges faced by a child with vitamin D-dependent rickets type II, including early onset rickets, alopecia, and specific dental abnormalities, emphasizing the need for comprehensive, multidisciplinary management.

This study observed similar D2-40 expression in scarring and nonscarring alopecia, with some increase in scarring cases, suggesting possible Fos-dependent mechanisms, though more research is needed for definitive conclusions.

This chapter discusses the molecular biology of the vitamin D receptor in gene transcription and reports no new results; it highlights recent findings on receptor activity independent of its usual ligand.

This study presents a case of a pubertal girl with type 1 diabetes who developed proliferative diabetic retinopathy shortly after diagnosis, suggesting the need for earlier screening in high-risk groups.

In this study, Flii overexpression in mice enhanced fingertip regeneration and nail formation after both distal and proximal amputations, suggesting a role in digit and hair follicle regeneration possibly involving Wnt signaling.
