This case report describes three patients with Netherton syndrome who experienced growth hormone deficiency and improved growth rates following growth hormone therapy.

In this study, researchers found that skin pigmentation alterations in a mouse model of Carney complex may be caused by specific dermal fibroblasts promoting melanogenic signaling.

This study demonstrated that a ligand-independent action of the vitamin D receptor significantly affects keratinocyte behavior in hair follicles and skin, pointing to its crucial role in maintaining normal hair and skin structures in rats.

This report describes a patient with X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia who lacked the usual hair growth issues, highlighting the challenge of diagnosing this condition due to atypical presentations and underscoring the need for awareness to improve management and future planning.

This study found that administering an adenovirus vector to increase Sonic hedgehog gene expression in mouse skin accelerated the transition of hair follicles into the growth phase, promoting hair growth.

This study found that mimicking the XPD point mutation in mice resulted in trichothiodystrophy-like symptoms, supporting the role of basal transcription and DNA repair defects in the disease.

This review discusses the role of jumonji family proteins in chromatin regulation and development, highlighting their involvement in transcriptional repression and histone demethylation, but reports no new experimental findings.

This review discusses the role of signaling networks in sebaceous gland development and disorders, highlighting recent insights from mouse models and cell line studies, but reports no new experimental results.

This review discusses the association between WNT10A gene variants and various ectodermal disorders, highlighting their clinical relevance in dermatology and dentistry, but reports no new findings.

This review article summarizes the potential role of advanced medical therapies—using genes, cells, and/or tissue engineering—in treating various types of alopecia, by examining clinical research, basic studies, and ongoing trials.

This study found a previously unreported ST14 gene mutation in a patient with ichthyosis-hypotrichosis syndrome, highlighting novel skin and hair characteristics and emphasizing the critical role of the Asp482 amino acid in matriptase activation.

This article discusses the complexities in diagnosing hair shaft disorders and the potential insights hair microscopy can provide, without reporting new clinical findings.

This case report describes a girl in China with biotinidase deficiency confirmed by genetic mutations, whose skin and hair symptoms improved with biotin therapy.

This study describes three new cases of MCOPS6 with BMP4 variants, noting expanded phenotypic variability but no clinically apparent microphthalmia in these individuals, which is commonly reported in the disorder.

This letter to the editor discusses a case of delayed-onset pachyonychia congenita linked to a new mutation in keratin 6b but presents no new research findings.

In this study, a somatic KRAS mutation was identified in a Korean infant with nevus sebaceus and associated extracutaneous manifestations, suggesting a diagnosis of nevus sebaceus syndrome.

This case report described two siblings with uncombable hair syndrome characterized by unique hair features, and identified a new pathogenic variant in the PADI3 gene (c.1374dup; p. Val459ArgfsTer15) not previously documented.

This study found that in Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome, iPSCs committed to the keratinocyte lineage faster than normal cells, with LEF1 expression reduced and a partial rescue of the phenotype achieved through adenine base editing.

This study reports that topical minoxidil 5% foam may effectively promote hair growth in congenital alopecia and hypotrichosis linked to desmoplakin mutations, as demonstrated by significant hair growth in an 8-year-old boy.

This review discusses the genetic basis of ectodermal dysplasia, highlighting that identification of gene pathologies enhances diagnosis and supports prenatal DNA testing, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that VEGF-deficient keratinocytes can form tumors using different aneuploidy and signaling patterns, highlighting VEGF's role beyond angiogenesis in tumor cell growth and survival.

This study showed that vitamin D receptor gene-deficient rats exhibit hair loss and skin abnormalities due to differences in gene and protein expression patterns, while ligand-independent VDR action is crucial for normal hair cycle maintenance and skin formation.
