This report reviews familial cases of aplasia cutis of the scalp, noting large irregular defects at the vertex or anterior along the sagittal suture in six families.

This study identified a new clinical variant of adult adrenomyeloneuropathy characterized by hypoplasia and agenesis of the corpus callosum, associated with a novel ABCD1 gene mutation.

This case report describes a rare instance of familial congenital atrichia in a 16-year-old girl, possibly involving a genetic component, as both her parents exhibit similar clinical features.

This study found that keratin-associated proteins related to metallothionein and occludin appear in various animals, suggesting they may have roles beyond hair characteristics and were later adapted for hair production.

This historical review discusses the ancient Egyptians' advanced wound-healing techniques, including the use of honey and moldy bread, and reports no new clinical results.

This thesis explores both environmental and genetic factors in prostate cancer, focusing on surrogate hormone markers, medical radiation, family history, and genetic polymorphisms related to DNA repair and hormone marker genes, but reports no new clinical findings.

This article discusses the distribution of extracellular matrix molecules in human hair follicles and reports no new results.

This study found that hair follicle patterning in development may arise from a combination of epidermal prepattern signals and mesenchymal self-organisation, with fibroblast growth factor and bone morphogenetic protein activities playing key roles.

This review explores embryonic epidermal development and discusses key molecular regulators and roles of the sub-epidermal mesenchyme, but reports no new experimental results.

In this study, thymosin beta4 over-expression in transgenic mice was linked to accelerated hair growth and abnormal tooth development, suggesting roles in hair and tooth physiology.

This study identifies key transcriptomic features and a necessary dermal niche for eccrine gland development, advancing potential regenerative approaches for these vital skin appendages.

This review discusses the interplay between signaling/transcription factor-mediated and epigenetic mechanisms in skin development and regeneration, highlighting the need for further exploration of epigenome reorganization in these processes.

This study found that keratin K14 expression occurs early in epidermal cell differentiation, while a hair-specific keratin is expressed later in hair matrix cells, suggesting developmental divergence between the two cell types.

In this study, researchers differentiated induced pluripotent stem cells into cells with dermal papilla-like properties, demonstrating their potential role in hair follicle bioengineering and drug testing for hair growth.

This abstract omits specific findings and does not provide new research results.

This review discusses advances in using molecular tools from skin biology to manipulate adult stem cells for regenerative medicine and reports no new clinical results.

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.

The document concludes that hair biology is complex and there are still unanswered questions about hair loss and follicle changes.

This chapter reviews various in vitro and laboratory animal models for studying potential therapies for alopecia and reports no new results.

The document concludes that the exact way alcohol causes harm to fetal development is unknown, but it significantly affects nutrient transport to the fetus and a safe level of alcohol during pregnancy is not determined.

This case study found that a 7-year-old girl's crystalline cataract had sulfur-containing amino acids likely cystine, and was associated with abnormal hair conditions.

This report describes a three-generation family with Cantú syndrome linked to a novel ABCC9 gene variant, featuring acromegaloid appearance and hypertrichosis without growth hormone abnormalities, and suggests a potential association with pituitary adenomas.

This letter reports a woman with nevoid basal carcinoma syndrome and pronounced androgenic alopecia associated with a novel PTCH gene mutation p.Leu1159fsx32, suggesting a genetic link in this case study.

This report describes a case of Goltz syndrome in a 12-year-old Saudi girl, highlighting the variability in symptoms and the importance of documenting such rare syndromes.

This article presents an overview of uncombable hair syndrome, emphasizing its clinical and molecular characteristics and noting systemic manifestations such as neuropsychiatric, ophthalmic, and cardiopulmonary issues.

This review discusses the pathogenesis and clinical presentations of alopecia in epidermolysis bullosa patients, noting diverse hair abnormalities and emphasizing the lack of a consensus on its natural history.

Retinoic acid causes gland formation instead of hair in mouse skin by altering epidermal and dermal interactions.

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.

This review discusses the patterns and regulatory mechanisms of keratin expression in various biological conditions and reports no new experimental results.

This review summarizes recent advances in understanding the molecular mechanisms of hair follicle formation and discusses potential future clinical applications for treating hair loss and skin tumors, but it reports no new clinical results.
