This report describes a novel mutation in the CDH3 gene in an 11-year-old Iranian boy with hypotrichosis and juvenile macular dystrophy, indicating a new genetic variant associated with the disorder.

This article presents a comprehensive overview of hair microscopy techniques and their diagnostic potential for systemic and cutaneous disorders, emphasizing its usefulness in resource-limited settings and highlighting the underutilization of this non-invasive method due to lack of awareness.

This case report describes a 6-year-old girl diagnosed with the rare concurrence of monilethrix and trichorrhexis nodosa, characterized by sparse, brittle hair, who showed minimal clinical improvement with low-dose oral and topical minoxidil treatment.

This case series describes eight instances of autosomal recessive woolly hair in an Indian population over the past 12 years, detailing their clinical presentation, hair traits, and treatment response.

This publication provides a standardized nomenclature for classifying microscopic lesions in laboratory rat and mouse skin, aiming to harmonize international toxicological research.

This article provides a detailed analysis of immunosuppressive medications in transplant patients and discusses the increased risk of skin cancer, but it reports no new experimental results.

This study concluded that the Wnt signaling pathway does not significantly influence human keratoacanthoma development, but the overexpression of Sox9 suggests alternate signaling involvement.

Lactic acid cream can help improve skin bumps known as eruptive vellus hair cysts.

Low-level laser therapy may help regrow hair in dogs with non-inflammatory hair loss.

This study identified a novel missense MAFB variant in a family with some unaffected members, suggesting incomplete penetrance and the potential influence of modifier genes, epigenetic mechanisms, or environmental factors on MCTO phenotype.

New insights in skin conditions show a complex link between certain moles and melanoma, improved hair loss treatments, and the need to identify different types of lupus.

Isotretinoin can raise CPK levels, so patients need monitoring, especially before surgery.

This study observed a potential association between the CC genotype of rs4646 and female pattern hair loss, but the authors advise caution due to lack of experiment-wide significance and recommend replication.

Different types of hair loss in dogs and cats have various causes and treatments, with outcomes ranging from good to uncertain.

Alopecia in animals can be hereditary, congenital, or acquired, with treatments and outcomes varying widely.

This article presents an update on a family with Coats' plus disorder, documenting additional symptoms and two new similar cases, and reviews literature suggesting a link to dyskeratosis congenita for potential molecular insights.

In this case report, eyelash transplantation with leg hair resulted in less frequent maintenance and no need for perming compared to using nape hair donor sources.

This genetic study identified a potential interval for the Marie Unna hypotrichosis gene but found no mutations in the nearby hr gene, suggesting its involvement remains unconfirmed.

The document concludes that permanent hair loss conditions are complex, require early specific treatments, and "secondary permanent alopecias" might be a more accurate term than "secondary cicatricial alopecia."

This study identified a genetic variant in the SGK3 gene related to hairlessness in Scottish Deerhounds, suggesting a similar role for androgen-independent hair loss in humans.
