September 2021 in “PLoS ONE” In this study, researchers found that interaction between transcription factor EBF1 and gene WNT10A, influenced by a genetic variant, may play a role in hair shaft formation and anagen shortening in male pattern baldness.
This study found that testosterone impacts hair follicles from both affected and occipital regions in male pattern androgenetic alopecia, but with different androgen response-profiles, challenging the belief that occipital regions are androgen-insensitive.
August 2025 in “International Journal of Contemporary Pediatrics” This case report presents a rare subtype of hypomyelinating leukodystrophy linked to a PYCR2 gene mutation, emphasizing exome sequencing's value in diagnosing undiagnosed childhood HLDs with atypical symptoms.
April 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” In this study, deep phenotyping of 68 patients with XPD gene defects successfully separated individuals by clinical diagnosis and survival status, potentially improving diagnosis and prognosis for xeroderma pigmentosum and trichothiodystrophy.
20 citations
,
April 2000 in “Experimental dermatology” This study observed that overexpression of the enzyme ODC in transgenic mice caused hair loss and skin changes similar to human papular atrichia, suggesting that ODC might be involved in a critical hair follicle function pathway.
August 2026 in “Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry” This study found that administering tolerogenic dendritic cell-conditioned medium to dihydrotestosterone-treated mice promoted hair regrowth by modulating the follicular microenvironment, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines, and activating key signaling pathways, highlighting its potential as a treatment for androgenetic alopecia.

,
July 1990 in “Archives of Dermatology” This case report details a fixed-drug eruption in a woman linked to the use of dextromethorphan, marking it as a previously unreported skin reaction to this medication.
December 2022 in “Small methods” This study developed dissolving microneedles incorporating a new AR degrader for treating androgenetic alopecia, showing that a single application leads to superior hair regeneration compared to daily minoxidil, without systemic toxicity or androgen-related issues.

June 2011 in “Movement Disorders” A specific gene mutation is linked to a hereditary form of dystonia that responds well to certain medications.
September 2023 in “Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology” 8 citations
,
August 2014 in “Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications” The study found that over-expressing ornithine decarboxylase in the outer root sheath of the hair follicle in mice increases UVB-induced tumor growth and invasive squamous cell carcinoma compared to inter-follicular epidermal keratinocytes.
36 citations
,
November 2000 in “Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology” This case study describes a unique patient with dermatomyositis who exhibited features of pityriasis rubra pilaris and porokeratosis, suggesting markers for malignancy warranting thorough investigation and monitoring.
This study suggests that keratin 15 and Id3 proteins play distinct roles in epithelial and dermal cell activities during the regeneration stages of rat vibrissae hair follicles.
A 72-year-old man was diagnosed with a rare skin form of Rosai-Dorfman disease after years of misdiagnosis.

,
May 1971 in “Clinical genetics” This study suggests 5α‐androstan‐3α‐17β‐diol may be the true inducer of kidney enzymes in certain mice, while its induction mechanism likely involves pinocytosis rather than a receptor protein.
71 citations
,
May 1996 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that overexpression of a mutated ornithine decarboxylase transgene in mice led to complete hair loss, which could be prevented or reversed with an ODC inhibitor.
February 2024 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” This study found that tissue damage in adult mice triggers the release of mitochondrial DNA, which activates the TLR9 pathway and influences hair regeneration by recruiting gamma delta T cells, ultimately affecting healing outcomes such as fibrosis.
9 citations
,
May 2014 in “Clinical Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology” This study suggests that combining GliSODin(®) Skin Nutrients with tazarotene cream significantly benefits facial fine wrinkles, photodamage, moisture, and elasticity compared to tazarotene alone.
17 citations
,
July 2013 in “Amino Acids” This study found that elevated epidermal ODC activity in transgenic mice promotes skin tumor development by recruiting bulge stem cells, rather than through reactive oxygen species generation by polyamine catabolic oxidases.
3 citations
,
January 2023 in “Science advances” This study found that ablation of Tet2/Tet3 genes in skin epithelial cells altered hair shape and length, leading to hair loss, by affecting chromatin accessibility and gene expression related to hair follicle regulation.
9 citations
