This report details a case of severe recurrent bacterial vaginosis in a woman with Netherton's syndrome.

In this case report, a 23-year-old woman developed localized trichorrhexis nodosa after compulsively applying 3% minoxidil to her scalp for two months.

Some cells may slow melanoma growth, a protein could affect skin pigmentation, a gene-silencing method might treat hair defects, skin bacteria changes likely result from eczema, and a defensin protein could help treat multiple sclerosis.

This article in Experimental Dermatology does not include an abstract or any new research findings.

This report on two Indian male siblings with monilethrix highlights trichoscopy's role in diagnosing this condition, which can be complicated by early-onset androgenetic alopecia.

This case study describes a 9-year-old boy with monilethrix and associated abnormalities, suggesting a new, severe autosomal recessive variant termed "monilethrix syndrome.

This article describes a case of localized trichorrhexis nodosa in a patient with otherwise normal hair, highlighting the condition's response to trauma and diagnostic process but reporting no new clinical findings.

This chapter reviews the clinical features and diagnostic information for various skin diseases in sheep but reports no new research results.

This review discusses the molecular and functional aspects of the nude gene in skin biology, providing insights into its role and evolutionary development, but reports no new results.

This study found that mutant mice with the we/we wal/wal genotype exhibit significant defects in hair shaft structure and epidermis stratification, correlating with postnatal alopecia symptoms.

This study found that the fuzzy mutation in mice is linked to both structural hair defects and accelerated hair follicle cycling, influencing the regulation of hair cycle phases such as catagen and anagen.

This study reveals that overexpression of Wnt3 in transgenic mouse skin leads to a short-hair phenotype and cyclical balding due to structural defects in hair shafts, highlighting a role for WNT signaling in hair growth regulation.

This review discusses various environmental and chemical factors that contribute to hair shaft disorders, such as fractures, and highlights the potential roles of cysteine and glutamine in hair health, but reports no new results.

This study found that the Gsdma3 gene is necessary for normal hair follicle differentiation in mice, with its mutation leading to progressive hair loss and defects in hair structure.

This study found that keratin 17 and TNFα play interdependent roles in regulating hair follicle cycling, with TNFα required for the anagen–catagen transition and its ablation partially rescuing hair cycling defects in K17-null mice.

This study found that disrupting the Sox21 gene in mice led to progressive hair loss and regrowth, identifying Sox21 as a key regulator of hair shaft cuticle differentiation.

This article discusses genetic hair disorders in children, outlining diagnostic approaches and highlighting the significance of distinguishing isolated hair defects from those associated with syndromes, but it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers observed that EGFR deficiency in the epidermis affects gene expression related to cell differentiation and structure, highlighting spatial and temporal roles of EGFR during skin and hair follicle development.

This study found that blocking autophagy in Atg7-deficient mouse hair keratinocytes altered the molecular composition of hair shafts by increasing the abundance of proteins involved in protein turnover while keratins remained unchanged, highlighting autophagy's role in reducing non-cytoskeletal protein concentrations in hair.

In this case report, a 67-year-old woman with Netherton syndrome experienced significant improvement in skin inflammation, pruritus, and hair growth after treatment with dupilumab, suggesting potential benefits for addressing both cutaneous and hair manifestations of the condition.

This case study documented that a 67-year-old woman with Netherton syndrome experienced significant improvements in skin inflammation, pruritus, and hair growth after treatment with dupilumab, addressing symptoms of the syndrome and showing promising results for resolving "bamboo" hair.

This case study reported that in a 67-year-old woman with Netherton syndrome, treatment with dupilumab improved skin inflammation and pruritus and was associated with significant improvements in hair growth and structure, including the resolution of "bamboo" hair.

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.

Tiger tail banding and hair abnormalities are reliable indicators for diagnosing trichothiodystrophy.

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

This article reviews various congenital and acquired hair shaft disorders, examining their characteristics and potential links to wider health conditions, but does not present any new clinical results.

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

This study found that mitochondrial dysfunction in T cells led to defective hair follicle stem cell function and premature skin aging signs in a mouse model.

This study found that structural defects in the hair shafts of sighthounds with bald thigh syndrome are related to a downregulation of genes and proteins essential for hair shaft formation.

This study in mice suggests that defects in hair follicles with mesenchymal TSC2 disruption may result from an impaired TGFβ1 response, indicating a potential novel treatment approach for tuberous sclerosis complex.
