This study describes a family where a TP63 mutation was linked with prominent alopecia and mild ectodermal dysplasia features.

This case report describes an unusual occurrence of late-onset nevus comedonicus affecting both eyelids, with complications including bilateral ptosis and ectropion.

This chapter discusses stem cell activity in feather and hair follicles, emphasizing how stem cells maintain their population by cycling between quiescence and activation in specialized niches but reports no new results.

In this study conducted in Ilam province, Iran, researchers found that 19.35% of red foxes and 17.85% of jackals were infested with at least one type of ectoparasite, primarily Ctenocephalides canis.

This study found that the HoxC gene cluster is crucial for the development of hair and nails in mice, with key regulation by two mammalian-specific enhancers.

This case report observed a 5.5-year-old girl with Ectodermal Dysplasia-Syndactyly Syndrome 1, who experienced improved hair density and thickness with topical minoxidil and tretinoin, suggesting a potential adjunctive role for topical retinoids, though confirmation in larger studies is needed.

In this case report, a young goat with mixed ectoparasitic infestations including Psoroptes spp. showed significant clinical improvement and resolution of skin lesions after treatment with ivermectin-based therapy and supportive care, illustrating the importance of early diagnosis and comprehensive management for recovery.

This review discusses the complex role of the EDA pathway in vertebrate skeletal development, emphasizing its interaction with other morphogenic pathways to influence skeletal diversity, but reports no new experimental results.

In this study, researchers successfully generated hair follicle organoids using human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) with collagen I as a microenvironment, demonstrating potential applications in hair regeneration, though fully human organoids require additional approaches.

In this study, a case of a 20-year-old woman revealed ectopic acanthosis nigricans at a post-syndactyly-release surgical site, suggesting this rare condition could result from epidermal–dermal mismatch and altered growth factor signaling in grafted skin, without indicating any metabolic or malignancy concerns.

This case report highlights a 17-year-old female with Kartagener's syndrome and ectodermal anomalies, such as alopecia and dental issues, suggesting a possible novel syndromic variant, with genetic testing recommended to distinguish it from a dual diagnosis.

This study in a nine-year-old boy from Lebanon identified a gene mutation (c.1066dup p.(Arg356Profs*16)) associated with a rare inborn error of immunity, characterized by craniosynostosis, jaundice, and several other symptoms, expanding the known genotypic and phenotypic spectrum of this condition.

This study suggests that coexisting LSS and TSPEAR variants might contribute to a complex phenotype of congenital hypotrichosis and ectodermal abnormalities in a child, and highlights the need for cautious interpretation of genotype-phenotype links and the potential value of broader genetic testing.

This source reports that four weeks of dupilumab treatment led to notable improvement in skin lesions, including multiple erythematous patches and papules on the face, back, and limbs.

In this study, a female dog with ectoparasite infestation was treated for two weeks using wormectin, diphenhydramine, chlorpheniramine maleate, dexamethasone, and amoxicillin, resulting in improved symptoms such as reduced itching, closure of skin ulcers, and hair regrowth.

In this study at the IPB Taman Kencana campus, researchers found that all examined stray cats were infested with ectoparasites, primarily Ctenocephalides felis fleas, leading to health issues such as anemia and stress.

This study reports a rare cluster of four patients with ectodermal dysplasia, highlighting its typical dental and dermatological manifestations and the necessity of multidisciplinary management.

This report describes a rare case of ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone syndrome caused by a pheochromocytoma that unusually co-expresses both ACTH and corticotropin-releasing hormone.

This case report highlights that early signs like pili torti may precede lichen planopilaris in some patients, emphasizing the importance of timely intervention to prevent permanent hair loss.

In this study, researchers found that Ectoin, derived from halophilic bacteria, can mitigate stress-related skin damage by reducing cortisone's inhibitory effects on essential skin proteins and decreasing UVB-induced glucocorticoid activity, highlighting its potential as a preventative agent for stress-induced skin issues.

This study identified a missense variant in the EDA gene of a male cat, which likely caused hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, characterized by hair and teeth abnormalities; this represents the first report of such a genetic condition in cats.

A specific hair protein variant increases the spread of breast cancer and is linked to worse survival rates.

This study identified ectomesenchyme as a major source of epidermal stem cells in mouse skin, with ectomesenchymal keratinocytes occupying a significant portion of the epidermal stem cell-enriched population.

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 case report describes a novel NECTIN4 gene mutation linked to ED-syndactyly syndrome 1 in a young girl, contributing to the understanding of this rare ectodermal dysplasia.

This case report documents the first known occurrence of alopecia areata in a patient with ectodermal dysplasia linked to a WNT10A mutation, suggesting potential shared genetic factors in hair loss pathways.

This review discusses the diverse functions and therapeutic potential of ectopic olfactory receptors throughout the body, emphasizing their roles in various cellular processes and potential in cancer detection and therapy, but reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes a 34-year-old woman with pituitary stalk interruption syndrome, highlighting the need for long-term follow-up due to potential progression from isolated hormonal deficiencies to pan-hypopituitarism.

In this case study, the use of somatostatin analogues was effective in localizing and confirming a neuroendocrine lung tumor as the source of ectopic ACTH syndrome, leading to marked clinical improvement in a patient unable to undergo surgery.
