This study found that knocking down P-cadherin expression in cultured human hair follicles recreates the hair abnormalities seen in patients with hypotrichosis with juvenile macular dystrophy.

This narrative review highlights that endurance, skill-oriented athletes, and physique-oriented competitors such as bodybuilders face accelerated degradation of fillers and botulinum neurotoxin due to elevated basal metabolic rates and other factors, and raised concerns about psychological conditions like body dysmorphic disorder in these populations.

This case report describes a 27-year-old male with autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1, characterized by symptoms including fever, dysarthria, dysphagia, oral candidiasis, nail dystrophy, alopecia, hypoparathyroidism, and dilated cardiomyopathy. The study highlights unique bilateral symmetrical brain calcifications and underscores the syndrome’s diverse manifestations.

This report discusses a case of pilomatrixoma, an uncommon benign skin tumor, and emphasizes the importance of histopathological analysis for accurate diagnosis to avoid misdiagnosis as malignancy.

This study observed that young rat models, with naturally synchronized hair growth phases, developed total alopecia after chemotherapy and may serve as a better model for testing CIA protective treatments compared to adult rats.

In this study, PTH–CBD displayed dose-dependent effects in reducing hair loss and enhancing hair regrowth in a mouse model of chemotherapy-induced alopecia.

The document reviews various hair and nail disorders, their causes, and treatments, emphasizing the need for proper diagnosis and the link between nail changes and systemic diseases.

This review discusses the role of hair microscopy in diagnosing alopecia, stating that while it excludes diagnoses related to hair breakage, it only confirms nonspecific short anagen in alopecia cases.

This review discusses keratin disorders and potential RNA interference therapeutics, reporting no new clinical findings but highlighting the promise of siRNA for future treatments.

In this study, a methanol extract of Eclipta alba was found to have dose-dependent hair growth-promoting activity in C57BL6 mice.

This study found that AIRE, a usually nuclear protein, is expressed in the cytoplasm of human epidermal and follicular keratinocytes and associates with the intermediate filament protein cytokeratin 17, potentially impacting ectodermal abnormalities in APECED syndrome.

This case report describes the first confirmed instance of trichodysplasia spinulosa in a child with Down syndrome and leukemia, linking it to the TS-associated polyomavirus.

This study reports that chemotherapy-induced alopecia in mice may be linked to decreased laminin-511 and increased laminin-332 around hair follicles, suggesting a potential mechanism for abrupt hair loss.

This study found that sulfur mustard affects hair follicles and sebaceous glands in the skin by causing cellular damage, inflammation, and disrupting wound healing processes in hairless mice.

This research reports that after genotoxic stress from ionizing radiation or chemotherapy, hair follicles can utilize progenitor cells from transit-amplifying compartments, not quiescent stem cells, for repair, suggesting a potential therapeutic approach to prevent therapy-induced hair loss by activating these progenitors.

This study suggests that targeting the activation of transit-amplifying cell-derived progenitor cells may help prevent hair loss from chemotherapy and radiotherapy by promoting hair follicle regeneration.

This study found that a 1% 11a-hydroxyprogesterone lotion appeared to increase hair growth parameters in male androgenetic alopecia patients compared to untreated controls.

This review discusses erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp, including its characteristics, potential triggers, and its classification as a neutrophilic dermatosis, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that a keratin mutation may cause diffuse partial woolly hair associated with loose anagen hair syndrome in some families, but other genetic factors could play a role in different cases.

This study found that the twisted hair shafts characteristic of pili torti may result from uneven outer root sheath cell development, leading to irregular hair shaft modeling and twisting.

This article reports a rare case of squamous cell carcinoma with miliary calcification in a cutaneous horn, suggesting possible involvement of calcium-binding proteins in this unique presentation.

This case report describes a probable connection between lamotrigine treatment and hair loss, resolving upon discontinuation, suggesting alopecia as a rare side effect of the drug.

In this study, all 26 patients with epidermolysis bullosa were found to have extensive dental caries, with various dental and oral complications varying by EB type, due in part to inadequate oral care and associated physical limitations.

In this study, a rare case of a trichilemmal cyst in a 6-year-old's upper eyelid was observed; it was identified through histopathological examination after excision, highlighting the importance of considering trichilemmal cysts in atypical pediatric eyelid swellings.

This review discusses different types of telogen effluvium, highlighting that most cases seen by dermatologists are autoimmune-related, with stress as a triggering factor, and reports no new clinical findings.

This study observed that telogen effluvium was the most common pattern of diffuse hair loss among 100 female patients, often associated with factors like stress and fever.

BTNL2 helps protect hair follicles from immune attacks.

In this study, various cellular responses and signaling pathways were examined in hair follicles after exposure to ionizing radiation, including the effects of Wnt3a treatment, with findings noted in apoptosis, DNA damage, and differentiation processes.

Results are not reported in this study, which investigated the effects of radiation on hair follicles and evaluated various cellular responses and signaling pathways, particularly focusing on WNT signaling and the impact of Wnt3a treatment.

This study reports that the asebia-2J mutation in mice affects sebaceous gland function and leads to hair follicle destruction, offering a model for human scarring alopecias.
