This case report describes a newborn diagnosed with dominant dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa due to a COL7A1 mutation, following the presentation of blisters that healed without further complications.

This article discusses the characteristics, clinical presentation, and diagnosis of calcified epidermal cysts but reports no new clinical results.

The researchers reported that iPSCs derived from Sendai virus reprogrammed blood cells can mature into functional keratinocytes for up to 60 days, potentially offering new approaches for DEB treatment.

This article reviews the diagnosis and causes of different types of alopecia, presenting no new clinical findings.

This case report describes an eight-year-old Kashmiri boy diagnosed with monilethrix, a rare genetic hair disorder, characterized by a beaded appearance and fragility of the hair shaft.

Follicular red dots can appear where alopecia areata and vitiligo overlap.

This study found that pretreating hair follicles with epidermal growth factor (EGF) may protect against chemotherapy-induced hair damage by inducing a catagen-like stage, thus supporting primary hair recovery.

The ProScope HR is an effective, user-friendly, and affordable tool for diagnosing hair loss.

Yellow dots look different in various hair loss conditions and can help diagnose them.

This article offers a summary of the Seoul International Dermatology Symposium held in May 1995, but reports no new clinical findings.

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 observed telogenic defluvium and dystrophic hair loss in patients with nutritional deficits, with reversible damage when diet improves and stress is alleviated.

This study observed that hyperprolactinemia in women may be associated with skin and hair symptoms similar to those induced by androgens, suggesting hormone level evaluations in such cases.

In this study, platelet-rich plasma significantly increased hair regrowth and reduced symptoms of alopecia areata compared to triamcinolone acetonide or placebo, with no observed side effects.

In this study, researchers examined two new cases of trichothiodystrophy and observed that the condition is linked to decreased synthesis of high-sulfur matrix proteins in hair.

This study found that loss-of-function mutations in the HOXC13 gene cause autosomal-recessive pure hair and nail ectodermal dysplasia, emphasizing its role in hair and nail development.

This study suggests a regulatory model where HOXC13 activates Foxn1, affecting hair and nail differentiation, supported by similarities in Hoxc13(tm1Mrc) and Foxn1(nu) mice phenotypes and gene expression patterns.

This study found strong evidence linking a keratin gene anomaly to pachyonychia congenita, supporting its role in affecting skin, nails, hair, and mucosa.

This article reviews common skin eruptions in chemotherapy patients and discusses how recognizing these patterns can help avoid unnecessary changes to cancer treatment; it reports no new clinical results.

This study reports two cases of acquired zinc deficiency presenting with skin symptoms such as hair loss and acrodermatitis, suggesting these manifestations may help in diagnosing zinc deficiency in humans.

This article reviews the diagnosis and management of alopecia areata but reports no new research findings.

This study found that overexpressing human Bcl-2 in mice protected epidermal keratinocytes from UVB-induced apoptosis but unexpectedly increased apoptosis during hair follicle regression and chemotherapy.

This article reviews the characteristics and classification criteria of cutaneous lupus erythematosus and reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, researchers identified two distinct homozygous mutations in the KRT85 gene among consanguineous Pakistani families with pure hair and nail ectodermal dysplasia, highlighting variations in severity and potential impacts on the K85 protein function.

This study described seven male patients and six female carriers of keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans, highlighting distinct dermatological and ophthalmic markers including follicular hyperkeratosis and corneal dystrophy.

This review explores the efficacy and outcomes of using JAK inhibitors for treating alopecia areata, noting advancements in understanding the disease's pathomechanisms and suggesting that JAK inhibitors may offer targeted therapeutic benefits by blocking specific inflammatory pathways involved in this chronic condition.

This study found that early-onset patients with alopecia universalis or a family history of alopecia areata showed worse prognosis compared to those with late-onset.

This study investigated a spontaneous mutation in mice resulting in hair abnormalities and elevated IgE levels, which resembles human Netherton's syndrome and monilethrix.

This review summarizes recent findings on FOXN1's essential role in thymus and skin biology and discusses emerging therapeutic approaches for immune disorders with athymia, but reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes a 60-year-old male with vitamin A toxicity leading to severe liver disease and symptoms that resolved following liver transplantation, suggesting transplantation as a treatment option for noncirrhotic portal hypertension when symptoms do not improve after stopping vitamin A.
