This study found that central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia primarily affects adult women of African descent and suggests an association with traumatic hair care practices and delayed diagnosis.

This study reported that pelage hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells isolated from mice using Ficoll Density Gradient Sedimentation can be obtained in large numbers and may promote hair growth via exosome secretion.

This study found that Tcf3 and Lef1 differently regulate cell differentiation in multipotent skin stem cells, with Tcf3 promoting follicle-like features and Lef1, when modified, promoting sebocyte differentiation.

This case study reports on a 72-year-old woman with frontal fibrosing alopecia and hair repigmentation, suggesting the rare occurrence of canities reversal could aid in diagnosing FFA.

Wnt/β-catenin signaling is crucial for cell fusion in placental development.

This study found that in Arabidopsis thaliana, the interaction between extracellular leucine-rich repeat extensins and the receptor-like kinase FERONIA helps control vacuolar expansion, crucial for cellular elongation.

This study found that fibroblast growth factor 20 (Fgf20) orchestrates the movement and behavior of dermal fibroblasts, directing their formation into dermal condensates during hair follicle development in mice.

In this study, a patient with Cronkhite-Canada syndrome complicated by severe sepsis and disseminated intravascular coagulation was successfully treated using combined therapies, including recombinant human soluble thrombomodulin, despite the absence of a standard treatment regimen for CCS.

This review discusses the evolution and ongoing debate about the causes of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in African American women, without presenting new clinical findings.

This study identified a heterozygous de novo mutation in the ODC1 gene causing a new disorder characterized by overgrowth and developmental delay, and suggests that DFMO treatment may help manage elevated ODC activity and putrescine levels.

A male patient developed frontal fibrosing alopecia after antiandrogen therapy for prostate cancer.

In this case report, a 42-year-old woman with cutaneous dermatomyositis showed significant improvement, including reduction of erythema, pruritus, and scaling, after starting JAK inhibitor tofacitinib, especially when conventional systemic treatments failed and intravenous immune globulin wasn't viable.

This study identified key genes involved in feather follicle development in Wannan chickens, finding that genes such as LAMC2, COL6A3, and WNT7A are crucial in the regulation processes, potentially aiding molecular breeding programs for improved carcass appearance traits.

This study introduced a novel in vitro murine assay using transgenic mice to identify immunomodulatory compounds, which identified 160 potential hits from 4,398 compounds screened.

This study found higher mean zinc levels in the hair of cystic fibrosis patients with growth retardation compared to those with normal growth.

This study outlines a method to isolate hair follicle stem cells from mouse skin using fluorescence activated cell-sorting for use in research models, but reports no experimental findings.

Finasteride significantly reduced tics and obsessive-compulsive symptoms in Tourette syndrome patients.

This report describes two patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia who developed acute hair loss on their limbs, revealing that the limb alopecia had similar histological features to scalp alopecia.

In this laboratory study, Camellia japonica fruit shell extract showed potential to mitigate hair loss by promoting hair cell growth and reducing harmful effects of DHT and oxidative stress.

This study found that straight crimp mutant wool differs from crimpy wool in the layout of cortical cells and the relative proportions of keratin and keratin-associated proteins.

This study suggests that the amino acid composition of fibrous proteins in normal human hair is similar to that of stratum corneum proteins, particularly in cysteine and glycine content.

This study found that Foxn1-like genes in fish and mice are functionally equivalent in activating hair keratin genes, whereas changes in the cephalochordate Foxn1-like gene result in inactivity.

In this case report, a 72-year-old female with Cronkhite-Canada syndrome showed significant improvement in symptoms and gastrointestinal polyps after hormone therapy and additional treatment.

Activin A and Follistatin affect how mouse hair follicles grow.

This study generated a gene-edited cashmere goat with improved cashmere yield and fiber length by integrating VEGF at the FGF5 site, offering insights into hair growth mechanisms.

This case report describes a 32-month-old girl with a newly identified pediatric disorder linked to a de novo mutation in the ODC1 gene, mirroring symptoms seen in a transgenic mouse model.

This review discusses potential therapeutic options for frontal fibrosing alopecia by exploring distinct signaling pathways and cellular players, but reports no new clinical findings and emphasizes the need for further trials.

This study found that females with frontal fibrosing alopecia had more preauricular lines than age-matched controls, indicating a potential new clinical marker for the condition.

This study reports a case of a 28-year-old woman diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer through bone marrow analysis using flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry, highlighting the potential of flow cytometry as a valuable diagnostic tool for detecting solid tumors.

This study analyzed the relationship between clinical and anthropometric factors with the free androgen index to better evaluate polycystic ovarian syndrome, but results are not reported in the abstract.
