This review discusses the role of keratins in maintaining epidermal structure and function and reports no new results; the authors emphasize the lack of rational therapies for skin disorders linked to keratin mutations.

This study identifies six novel keratin genes from the chromosome 17q21.2 region, suggesting their association with hair follicles, while all 27 keratin genes in the domain have been characterized transcriptionally.

Vitiligo causes white skin patches and is linked to autoimmune issues.

This review discusses the relationship between obesity and PCOS, highlighting the potential of weight loss and improved insulin sensitivity to alleviate associated symptoms, and suggests the exploration of new therapies targeting weight management.

This review discusses the relationship between obesity, insulin resistance, and polycystic ovary syndrome and highlights the potential benefits of weight loss for managing PCOS symptoms, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that while laser hair removal improves quality of life for women with facial hirsutism, emotional benefits diminish over 30 months and additional treatments may be necessary to maintain improvements.

This study used proteomics to identify various proteins in human hair, which may help develop novel biomarkers for hair health, disease, and aging.

This article presents two cases of keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans and reviews its features, highlighting characteristic progression from keratosis pilaris in infancy to cicatricial alopecia in childhood.

This study suggests that variations in PCOS phenotypes observed across different ethnic groups may be due to a genetic gradient resulting from historical human migrations and genetic drift.

This study validated the VQ-Dermato, the first dermatology-specific quality of life instrument in French, and found it to be reliable, acceptable for routine use, and more responsive than the SF36.

This review discusses the roles that mesenchymal stem cells may play in reepithelialization of wounds, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, stress experienced by transmen during early stages of gender transition was associated with reduced nocturnal blood pressure decline and increased C-reactive protein levels.

This study reported that disrupting ephrin-Eph interactions in adult mouse skin doubled cell proliferation in the hair follicle and epidermis, suggesting ephrins as negative regulators of proliferation.

This article reviews various topics discussed at a workshop on hair disorders, focusing on hair biology, diagnosis, and challenges in therapy evaluation, without presenting new clinical findings.

In this 1-year study of patients with alopecia areata universalis, researchers found that 0.03% topical bimatoprost led to an acceptable cosmetic response in 43.24% of participants.

This review develops expert-guided recommendations for hidradenitis suppurativa management, highlighting evidence for the effectiveness of antibacterial and anti-tumor necrosis factor therapies, but reports no new clinical trial results.

This review discusses recent surgical and medical advancements in hair restoration techniques but reports no new clinical results.

This study reports that the duration of hair loss is positively associated with the severity of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in African-American women.

This study found that using valproic acid during radiotherapy for glioma was associated with delayed hair loss and improved survival outcomes.

In this study, the authors reported that among patients with androgenetic alopecia, treatment with minoxidil 5% lotion combined with PRP and microneedling resulted in better hair growth and higher satisfaction compared to other treatment groups.

This review discusses physiological skin changes and specific dermatoses in pregnancy but reports no new clinical results, emphasizing careful diagnosis and management due to potential fetal risks in rare cases.

This study suggests that methotrexate use among rheumatoid arthritis patients is associated with patient-reported side effects and tolerability issues that may not be fully recognized by physicians.

This study found that human outer root sheath cells express VEGF receptor-2, and exogenous VEGF165 significantly stimulates their proliferation through activation of the ERK signaling pathway.

This review discusses the role of contraceptives in dermatology, particularly for acne treatment and managing patients on teratogens, but reports no new clinical results.

This review summarizes recent research and patents on 17β-HSD3, 17β-HSD5, and 3α-HSD3 inhibitors, suggesting their potential in treating androgen-dependent diseases, but reports no new clinical results.

This review examines how caloric restriction could promote autophagy to rejuvenate aging stem cells, though the precise molecular mechanisms remain unclear.

This study found no significant association between the degree of male-pattern baldness and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels in healthy middle-aged and older men.

This overview discusses advancements in the understanding of molecular genetics in heritable keratinization disorders, focusing on recent cases of inherited ichthyosis, and reports no new clinical results.

This study reports that Ca 2+ binding alters the dynamics and surface properties of PKD-like domains in Clostridium histolyticum collagenases, enhancing their stability and potentially aiding in collagen-targeting vehicle development.

This study found that Wnt5a suppresses β-catenin signaling, inhibiting the transition of hair follicles from the telogen to anagen phase.
