Patients with Focal Dermal Hypoplasia often experience skin, nail, hair, and bone issues, and may benefit from calcium and vitamin D supplements.

This case report describes a woman diagnosed with Cronkhite-Canada syndrome whose gastrointestinal symptoms and alopecia improved significantly after systemic prednisone treatment, with no recurrence four years after a second treatment course.

This article reviews various congenital and acquired hair shaft disorders, examining their characteristics and potential links to wider health conditions, but does not present any new clinical results.

This article reviews the aging process of sebaceous glands, highlighting the role of intrinsic and extrinsic factors on their degradation and reporting no new clinical findings.

This review discusses recent advances in understanding the genetics of hair and nail disorders and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that tinea capitis was the most common cause of scalp hair loss in children, affecting over half of cases, followed by alopecia areata, seborrheic dermatitis, and other conditions.

This study found that ovine dermal papilla cells exhibit robust aggregation and alkaline phosphatase activity, regulated by Wnt/β-catenin signaling, providing insights for improving wool performance and hair regeneration therapies.

Corticosteroids improved symptoms in a man with Cronkhite-Canada Syndrome.

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 study utilized EDAR gene-targeted cashmere goats to identify 732 differentially expressed genes and 140 proteins associated with abnormal hair growth, providing insights into the regulatory mechanisms of cashmere follicle development.

In this study, AMACO was found to be non-essential for the formation or function of anchoring cords in mice, despite its presence in the structure.

This case study reports a 36-year-old man with KID syndrome caused by an N14Y GJB2 mutation, expanding the mutation spectrum of this condition in the Chinese population.

In this study, PRP therapy did not show significant effectiveness in treating androgenetic alopecia in patients over a 6-month period, with 45% of participants reporting no improvement in hair growth, although adverse effects were minimal and non-serious.

A mutation in the KRT74 gene causes woolly hair by affecting hair texture.

A mutation in the KRT74 gene causes woolly hair by affecting hair texture.

HDAC1 is crucial for skin development and preventing tumors.

This review discusses the development of human skin with a focus on desmosomes, noting the challenges of translating animal model findings to humans due to species differences and limited human sample access.

This study revealed that deleting EZH2 in mesenchyme-derived cells of the female reproductive tract led to impaired uterine gland development and pregnancy loss in mice, highlighting EZH2's crucial role in fertility.

In this study, researchers found that treating dermal papilla cells with synovial fluid and laser photobiomodulation increases the expression of chondrocyte marker genes, indicating potential promotion of chondrogenic differentiation.

This study reviews the role of skin stem cells in aging and explores how organoids, as opposed to traditional methods, can advance research into aging skin and regenerative therapies.

In this in silico study, researchers analyzed nonsynonymous SNPs in the LIPH gene linked to hypotrichosis and identified three potentially harmful variants (W108R, C246S, and H248N) out of 215 total, using sequence- and architecture-based bioinformatics techniques to differentiate between harmful and benign SNPs.

This study identified specific gene expression profiles during the intestinal regeneration of sea cucumbers, highlighting potential novel genes and advancing the understanding of regenerative biology in echinoderms.

This study found that Wnt secretion is important for maintaining skin homeostasis in mice, as Evi-deficient mice developed psoriasis-like skin lesions and had an imbalance in immune cell populations.

This study found that overexpression of the calcium sensing receptor in transgenic mice accelerates epidermal differentiation and hair growth, suggesting its role in enhancing calcium signaling and interaction with other pathways.

This study identified multiple loss of function variants in the HR gene linked to the unique hair coat phenotype in lykoi cats, also known as werewolf cats.

In this study, researchers found that WNT activation influenced FGF expression in human scalp-derived fibroblasts, with mouse model results showing FGF9 increased hair follicle number and diameter, while FGF7 reduced diameter.

This narrative review explores the molecular mechanisms driving skin development and their role in skin diseases, emphasizing how disruptions in these pathways can lead to conditions like congenital disorders and cancers, potentially guiding new targeted therapies.
