This case report describes a rare instance of pediatric idiopathic hypoparathyroidism in an 11-year-old Saudi boy, characterized by extensive cranial calcifications beyond the basal ganglia, with no other neurological abnormalities.

This review discusses the causes and management of hirsutism, recommending low-dose oral contraceptives with flutamide over cyproterone-containing preparations, but reports no new clinical findings.

Irwin Freedberg greatly advanced dermatology research and mentored many future scientists.

This review examines the complex role of the Ectodysplasin-A pathway in skeletal morphogenesis, emphasizing its interaction with other key signaling pathways, and reports no new experimental findings.

In this study, a Delphi survey among 441 European dermatology patients identified psychological impacts as the most significant issues affecting their lives, underscoring the need for psychological support in managing dermatological diseases.

This study explores the risk factors for androgenetic alopecia in women residing in Pasar Ambacang Sub-district, Padang City, emphasizing its potential impact on their quality of life and psychological well-being.

This case report found that a child with acrodermatitis enteropathica showed significant improvement in symptoms after continuous zinc supplementation and identified two SLC39A4 mutations through genetic sequencing.

This article reviews congenital adrenal hyperplasia, a group of rare genetic disorders affecting steroid synthesis, and highlights the need for specific therapy and ongoing monitoring, but reports no new clinical findings.

The researchers reviewed the status, challenges, and future prospects of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene-editing technology in livestock breeding, noting its benefits and highlighting concerns about low efficiency in inserting foreign genes and off-target effects.

In this study, Hedgehog signaling in dermal papilla fibroblasts was found to accelerate hair growth and induce follicle multiplication in mice via the SCUBE3/TGF-β pathway, with some effects observed in human scalp hair follicles.

This study found that stabilized beta-catenin is crucial for activating stem cell transition from quiescence to proliferation in hair follicles by influencing gene expression within the stem cell niche.

This study found that downregulation of EGF and KGF signaling is necessary for hair follicle initiation in placodes, revealing a new role for KGF in hair follicle formation in mice.

This study found that Sonic Hedgehog secreted by hair follicle transit-amplifying cells is essential for dermal adipogenesis and hair follicle growth by acting on adipocyte precursors.

The researchers reported that in mice, prolactin signaling in the skin epithelium inhibits hair follicle stem cell activation, promoting quiescence during periods of high serum prolactin like pregnancy and lactation.

In this study, researchers explored how hair follicle orientation is affected in the rosette fancy mouse and found that a mutation in the PCP gene Fzd6 caused reversed hair orientations in the posterior region, leading to the formation of unique whorls.

This article argues that androgen sensitivity could be a key factor in the severity of COVID-19, suggesting that trials with anti-androgen agents may be warranted.

This study found that in mice, inactivating beta-catenin in the dermal papilla reduces hair follicle progenitor proliferation and disrupts the hair cycle.

This study reveals that overexpression of Wnt3 in transgenic mouse skin leads to a short-hair phenotype and cyclical balding due to structural defects in hair shafts, highlighting a role for WNT signaling in hair growth regulation.

This review discusses the role of stem cell heterogeneity and compartmentalization within the epidermis and highlights their significance as niches for neighboring cells, without reporting new experimental results.

In this study, researchers using the hair paradigm highlighted how periodic patterning and compartmentalization enable diverse regenerative behaviors, including region-specific renewal cycles and emergent properties like regenerative waves in organ populations.

This review explores recent insights into how intrinsic gene oscillations and molecular interactions in hair follicle stem cells contribute to their regenerative potential, with potential implications for regenerative medicine, but reports no new clinical results.

This study introduced a simple and reliable in vitro assay capable of large-scale simultaneous screening of hair growth-promoting compounds using a 3D co-culture system of human dermal papilla and outer root sheath cells.

This review explores theories on the evolution of hair from synapsid scales and glands, proposing mechanisms supported by comparative studies, but reports no new experimental findings.

Hox genes control hair follicle stem cell regeneration in different body regions.

In this study, researchers explored the molecular and cellular traits of avian reticulate scales, finding that they lack localized stem cell niches for regeneration, unlike other scale types, leading to repair but not regeneration after wounding.

This research found that Dlx3 plays a central role in hair formation and regeneration, with its absence leading to alopecia through disrupted differentiation and signaling pathways.

This study observed that areola formation in mice requires exposure to pregnancy hormones and mechanical strain, beyond individual stimuli like hormonal milieu or strain alone.

In this study, researchers detailed how hair follicles regenerate after microsurgical amputation, observing a wound reaction involving dynamic dermal-epidermal interactions and changes in extracellular matrix components.

This study found that adult mouse dermis can be reprogrammed by epidermal cues to resemble neonatal dermis, with changes in fibroblast proliferation and extracellular matrix composition.
