This review discusses various stem cell compartments in adult murine and human epidermis, examining their expressed markers and characterization assays, and reports no new experimental results.

This study identified a nonsense mutation in the zinc-finger domain of the hairless gene associated with congenital atrichia in a Japanese family, indicating a potential genetic cause for this rare form of alopecia.

This article describes cases of unusual scalp whorl patterns, including triple parietal and right temporal whorls, that were associated with normal development, and discusses theories of hair whorl development.

This review discusses inherited forms of vitamin D-dependent rickets and explains their genetic and metabolic causes but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that novel compound heterozygous mutations in the desmoplakin gene lead to hair shaft abnormalities and can result in lethal cardiomyopathy.

This study reported that a Megsin-Cre transgene enables genetic manipulation primarily in skin, forestomach, and esophagus tissues, offering a new tool for studying development and diseases in these areas.

This article reviews factors influencing hidradenitis suppurativa, its clinical diagnosis, and the diverse management approaches but presents no new clinical findings.

This study describes a rare form of congenital alopecia in domestic short hair cats, characterized by hair shaft defects and follicular dystrophy similar to those seen in certain mutant mouse strains.

This case report describes a 57-year-old man's late diagnosis of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy, highlighting the need to consider this condition in patients with non-autoimmune primary adrenal insufficiency and neurological issues.

This article reviews possible pathogenesis scenarios for hidradenitis suppurativa and emphasizes the need for focused research on the innate immune system of hair follicles to better understand the disease.

This study identified pathogenic or likely pathogenic gene variants in 70.1% of Russian families affected by hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, expanding knowledge of causative mutations.

The researchers reported finding a recessive nonsense variant in the EGFR gene responsible for perinatal lethality in the "Blonde d'Aquitaine" cattle breed, prompting the development of a screening test to help eradicate this genetic flaw.

This review discusses the expanding understanding of TRPV3's role in pain and skin pathology, while highlighting the need for further pharmacological research to fully resolve its functions.

Recognizing minor skin lesions can help identify serious cancer syndromes.

This article is a book review published in the International Journal of Cosmetic Surgery and Aesthetic Dermatology and reports no new clinical findings.

This study used a new statistical approach, PLACO, to identify several novel shared genetic regions associated with both Type 2 Diabetes and Prostate Cancer in two large GWAS datasets.

This study observed significant differences in the skin microbiome between hidradenitis suppurativa patients and healthy individuals, notably with decreased β-diversity and a distinct abundance of certain bacteria in affected skin.

This article discusses features, genetics, and diagnostic challenges of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in African American women but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses applications of light diffraction in healthcare, highlighting its use in LASIK procedures, optogenetics, and measuring hair diameter, but reports no new results.

This review discusses the categorization of hair loss and increased hair density disorders related to systemic diseases and reports no clinical results, emphasizing the potential diagnostic value of history, physical examination, and histopathologic data.

In this study of 30 severe anorexia nervosa patients, true acquired pili torti was not found although twisted hair was observed in 6.6% of cases.

This review outlines the diagnostic criteria for congenital and hereditary hair shaft abnormalities and emphasizes the need to understand the weathering process in assessing these disorders.

This article discusses the genetic hair disorder monilethrix, characterized by beaded, fragile hair due to defective keratin genes, and reports no effective treatment currently available; variability in severity was noted among affected siblings.

The document explains different hair and scalp conditions, including common hair loss after pregnancy or illness, drug-induced hair loss, hereditary excessive hair growth, patterned baldness, autoimmune hair loss, and permanent loss due to skin disease, with generally limited treatment options.

This study explores how EGFR signaling impacts skin inflammation and follicular integrity during hair eruption, aiming to identify druggable pathways to mitigate skin inflammation in cancer patients receiving EGFR inhibitors.

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 study using a genetic mouse model found that S. aureus-driven dysbiosis sustains inflammatory skin side effects from EGFR inhibitors, suggesting prophylactic antibiotic treatment may reduce rash severity without fixing barrier defects.

This workshop review from the Australian Hair and Wool Research Society discusses findings in cutaneous biology and endocrinology but presents no new research results.

This review discusses the clinical phenotypes of primary mitochondrial cytopathies linked to significant genetic defects in mitochondrial DNA, reporting no new clinical results; the authors emphasize the need for differential diagnosis.

This study reports that the same androgen receptor gene mutation within a family can lead to both complete and partial androgen insensitivity syndromes, suggesting that genetic defects alone may not predict clinical phenotype.
