This study observed that hair follicle mesenchyme in mice exhibits significant plasticity during the hair cycle, with cell migration and changes in papilla size impacting hair production.

This case report describes two patients with trichothiodystrophy who exhibited a different pattern of hair protein composition changes, suggesting a subgroup of TTD characterized by partial loss of high-sulfur proteins without significant alteration in their amino acid composition.

This retrospective review of hair samples from pediatric patients indicated that microscopic hair examination might be a useful first-line investigation for diagnosing various genetic conditions.

This study found that structural defects in the hair shafts of sighthounds with bald thigh syndrome are related to a downregulation of genes and proteins essential for hair shaft formation.

This study found that individuals with heterozygous truncation-type variants in the *DSP* gene exhibit lower skin temperature and higher transepidermal water loss, with specific microscopic skin changes and pseudomonilethrix.

This review discusses unspecific factors involved in the pathogenesis of skin diseases and potential ways cytokeratin changes might alleviate these conditions, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses telogen effluvium, including its causes, symptoms, diagnostic methods, and treatment strategies, without presenting new clinical findings.

This study reports that blocking the epidermal growth factor receptor in cancer treatments can lead to changes in hair growth and create a "wavy" hair phenotype in some patients.

In this study, researchers identified compound heterozygous variants in the MBTPS1 gene associated with ectodermal dysplasia features in a 14-year-old female, broadening the known disorder spectrum linked to these genetic mutations.

This article reviews factors influencing hair aging and available treatments like minoxidil and finasteride for androgenetic alopecia but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that salinity stress in Arabidopsis thaliana root hairs may inhibit hair extension through changes in the tip-focused Ca(2+) gradient, while cytosolic pH remains unaffected.

This review discusses the characteristics and challenges in treating Cronkhite–Canada syndrome but reports no new clinical findings, emphasizing the need for better understanding and uniform treatment approaches.

This study found that macrophages near hair follicles contribute to the activation of skin epithelial stem cells in mice, suggesting a novel role for macrophages in regulating hair growth.

This study found that both genome-wide screening methods identified the VTRNA2-1 epiallele as highly responsive to environmental influences, suggesting a link between early embryonic environment, epigenetic changes, and human disease.

This review discusses the effects of estrogen on skin and reports no new clinical results; it highlights estrogen's potential benefits on skin thickness, collagen quality, and hair follicle life cycle.

This article explores the dynamic and energy-efficient nature of telogen hair follicles, challenging the notion of dormancy, and highlights their potential in advancing treatments for hair growth disorders.

This study found that a genetic variant in the EDAR gene leads to typical East Asian hair characteristics by increasing signaling output, as shown in transgenic mice experiments.

This study found that transgenic mice overexpressing the BMP antagonist noggin showed increased hair follicle size and altered hair type, linked to changes in cell proliferation and gene expression.

This review discusses the complex systemic nature of vitiligo and its associations with autoimmune conditions, emphasizing the need for increased understanding and awareness of related comorbidities and psychological effects.

This review discusses the role of mechanical forces in skin homeostasis and disease development, including their impact on conditions like keloids, androgenetic alopecia, and acral melanoma, and reports no clinical results; the authors propose modifying these forces as a potential therapeutic strategy.

This speculative review discusses hair cycle-dependent fibroblast dynamics and possible impacts on human hair growth, synthesizing current literature without presenting new clinical findings.

This article examines various types of childhood alopecia and highlights the importance of identifying chronic conditions or those linked to underlying medical issues, but reports no new results.

Pregnancy can cause specific skin conditions that need correct diagnosis and treatment to protect both mother and baby.

Women experience various skin issues at different life stages, requiring careful treatment and awareness.

This study observed that transgenic mice expressing keratin K10 under bovine K6beta control developed severe oral abnormalities, suggesting keratin composition changes can affect the physiology of epithelial cells, especially in the oral mucosa.

This article reviews the causes of hair loss in pediatric and adult populations, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing between primary dermatologic conditions and those related to systemic diseases, but reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, transfection experiments showed that mutations in the K85 gene affect filament formation with K35, which may impact hair formation related to ectodermal dysplasia.

In this study, researchers used the CRISPR/Cas9 system to edit the FGF5 gene in Dorper sheep, observing increased density and finer wool, along with changes in cortisol levels and antioxidant enzyme activity linked to hair follicle development.

In a keratinocyte-specific knockout mouse model, this study found that deleting GRK2 disrupted hair follicle homeostasis, causing cyst-like structures, abnormal growth patterns, and eventual hair loss, suggesting potential links to immune-mediated alopecias.

This study examined the formation of acquired curved hair and found that the fusion of hair matrix cells during follicle regeneration contributes to asymmetric follicle shapes and curved hair, potentially linked to changes in type IV collagen and protein expression levels.
