This study found that the extraction-resistant structures in hair, feathers, and hagfish teeth are due to ε-(γ-glutamyl)lysine cross-linked proteins, emphasizing their role in maintaining the integrity of these materials.

This study found that topical tacalcitol improved roughness and scaling in erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli, although it was less effective for facial erythema.

This study suggests that minoxidil is a potent stimulator of elastin expression in embryonic skin fibroblasts, primarily affecting elastin mRNA levels, without impacting cell proliferation during the stationary phase.

This study found that infused mouse epidermal growth factor induced wool follicle involution through a quasi-physiological process similar to catagen and a separate pathological action, resulting in fleece 'break' or shedding.

In this case study, a 62-year-old male with a history of uncontrolled diabetes and chronic kidney disease was diagnosed with perforating folliculitis after presenting with dark, raised, pruritic lesions on his limbs, confirmed by histopathological examination showing collagen extruding into hair follicles.

This review highlighted that despite existing treatments, chronic nonhealing leg ulcers remain a significant therapeutic challenge, necessitating the development of new methods that are effective, safe, and affordable for patients.

This study developed a biobased copolymer called SELP::KP, showing improved hair strength, elasticity, and conditioning properties while being a safer alternative to conventional chemical treatments, based on application to human hair in a laboratory setting.

This letter discusses a case of erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp linked to topical latanoprost use for androgenetic alopecia, but reports no clinical results.

This study found that (-)-blebbistatin significantly inhibited liver fibrosis in mouse models by reducing tissue stiffness and myofibroblast activation, indicating potential for developing broad-spectrum antifibrotic drugs.

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.

In this study, UVB irradiation increased mast cell degranulation only when skin was innervated, suggesting that the interaction between mast cells and nerve fibres may exacerbate solar elastosis by promoting dysfunctional dermal elastic fiber accumulation, but further research is needed for confirmation.

This article discusses research about Netherton syndrome, highlighting its contributions to understanding epidermal structure, immune responses, and processes like atopic dermatitis, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study reports the first case of eyelash elongation and thickening in a patient with hypereosinophilic syndrome taking the Janus kinase inhibitor ruxolitinib.

An elderly man's non-healing scalp lesion was successfully treated with a strong topical steroid.

This study found that alkylation of kerateine cysteine residues created a cell-compatible method for controlling hydrogel erosion rates and therapeutic agent release in keratin-based systems.

This case study identified erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp following methylaminolaevulinate photodynamic therapy, noting improvement with steroid treatment and partial resolution of atrophy after three months.

This case report describes a black male newborn who developed bullae that healed with hypopigmentation, linked to collagenolysis and RER vacuoles potentially containing proteolytic enzymes.

This study found that wedelolactone from Eclipta prostrata L. significantly reduced lung inflammation and fibrosis in mice with bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis, suggesting potential therapeutic benefits through AMPK activation.

This study found that cystatin M/E strongly inhibits human cathepsin V and cathepsin L via distinct non-overlapping sites, suggesting an important role in human epidermal differentiation and hair follicle morphogenesis.

This study highlights the distinct distribution patterns of extracellular matrix components in the scalp skin of male and female androgenetic alopecia patients, with increased elastin staining intensity observed in male cases.

This study identified biallelic variants in the LSS gene as a possible genetic cause of palmoplantar keratoderma-congenital alopecia syndrome type 2, highlighting the role of cholesterol synthesis in skin cornification.

This case report describes two patients who experienced loose anagen hairs and pili torti, resulting in nonscarring alopecia, potentially linked to erlotinib treatment for solid tumors.

This study found that inhibiting Wnt/β-catenin signaling disrupted hemidesmosome organization in keratinocytes, suggesting potential therapeutic targets for HD-defective diseases like epidermolysis bullosa.

This case study reports that a 26-year-old woman with epidermolysis bullosa prurogompsa also presented with unique findings of co-existing muscular dystrophy and immune-based myasthenia gravis, with significant improvement following steroid treatment.

This review explores epidermolysis bullosa simplex subtypes caused by mutations in KRT5 or KRT14 and summarizes gene expression patterns and molecular mechanisms, without presenting new experimental results.

This study observed that while topical drug therapy for erosive pustular dermatosis rarely leads to complete resolution, surgery may achieve remission in male patients.

This review discusses the state-of-the-art knowledge on pseudoxanthoma elasticum, summarizing recent advancements in genetics, pathomechanisms, and potential treatments but reports no new clinical findings.

This study identified KLHL24 as a new gene linked to a subtype of epidermolysis bullosa simplex, highlighting its role in unresolved cases by involving a degradation-resistant truncated protein impacting keratin turnover.

This case report describes a 16-year-old with ectrodactyly-ED-clefting syndrome, where scarring alopecia with follicular involvement appeared during puberty, possibly due to anatomic hair abnormalities.

This study describes how manipulating the actin cytoskeleton, particularly through the gelsolin family proteins, may enhance regenerative healing in mammals, suggesting potential therapeutic pathways for improved wound repair.
