This commentary discusses how common latent viruses might contribute to male-pattern baldness through mechanisms involving transcription factor deficiency and overexpression of specific proteins, based on a concept called microcompetition; it reports no new research results.

This review discusses drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome and drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms, highlighting clinical features, potential viral reactivations, and treatment, but reports no new clinical findings.

This correspondence describes two patients with both epidermolysis bullosa simplex, Dowling-Meara type, and loose anagen hair syndrome, an association not previously reported in the literature.

This case study reports that a woman with epidermolysis bullosa acquisita experienced severe cicatricial alopecia and total nail loss after discontinuing treatment for two years, highlighting the potential for serious effects if the condition is not managed.

This historical overview from this source chronicles various treatments for hair loss over millennia, highlighting developments like the introduction of minoxidil and finasteride, as well as the modern interest in hair cloning, emphasizing the evolving quest for a successful solution.

This case report describes a 35-year-old woman with diffuse partial woolly hair occurring alongside epidermolysis bullosa with mottled pigmentation.

This article discusses the principles of Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) in patient care decision-making and reports no new empirical findings.

This study observed that gender-affirming hormone therapy differentially affects metabolism in mice, with the specific metabolic impacts dependent on the type of hormonal treatment used.

This study found that Middle Eastern patients with epidermolysis bullosa show specific correlations between their genetic variants and clinical features, which may aid in diagnosis and genetic counseling.

This study found that alopecia areata patients have higher odds of certain comorbidities like ulcerative colitis and vitiligo, while showing lower odds for conditions like hypertension and type 2 diabetes compared to healthy controls.

This study found that a topical henna formulation may improve symptoms like itching, burning, and redness in patients with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, but larger controlled studies are needed.

This study identified that dominant mutations in the KLHL24 gene cause epidermolysis bullosa through dysregulated autoubiquitination, leading to excessive degradation of keratin 14.

This study evaluated eyebrow mesotherapy with a growth factor-based cocktail in 32 women with thin eyebrows, finding high satisfaction rates (90.6%) with significant improvements in density and appearance, low pain levels, and unanimous willingness to recommend the treatment.

This review discusses the pathogenesis and clinical presentations of alopecia in epidermolysis bullosa patients, noting diverse hair abnormalities and emphasizing the lack of a consensus on its natural history.

This study demonstrated that the Epidermal Biopotential Sensing System (EBSS) can measure digital biomarkers of pain in mice, suggesting potential applications in assessing pain and screening analgesics in populations with communication difficulties.

This study found that carefully engineered hydrogels and asymmetric morphogen gradients facilitated the formation of anatomically relevant skin organoids from iPSC-derived EBs, improving pigmentation and hair follicle generation.

In this study, researchers developed vegan exosome-like vesicles from microalgae that mimic mammalian exosomes, demonstrating promising in vitro, ex vivo, and clinical effects such as improved wrinkle depth and elasticity, making them a potential alternative in cosmetic applications.

In this case report, a newborn with Conradi-Hünermann-Happle syndrome was diagnosed through early skin biopsy, which revealed unique histopathological features, including dystrophic calcifications, confirming a pathogenic variant in the EBP gene.

This study reported that combining fexofenadine or ebastine with topical therapy significantly improved hair regrowth and reduced the severity of alopecia areata over 12 weeks compared to topical treatment alone.

In this study, the author explores ancient Egyptian attitudes towards male pattern baldness through interdisciplinary and biblical feminist perspectives, revealing that baldness was recognized as unattractive yet also associated with respect for older men's work ethic and masculinity.

This case report identified a maculopapular rash in a 76-year-old male, occurring 2 months after starting Finasteride for prostatic hyperplasia, with clinical and histologic evidence suggesting a drug-induced skin eruption.
