This study reported discovering a novel missense variant in a case of autosomal recessive woolly hair in a 31-year-old Chinese woman, which significantly reduced secretion of the encoded protein, likely leading to disease by impairing its hydrolytic function.

This study found that the mutant hairless rhino bald protein in mice interacts with the vitamin D receptor but cannot repress its transactivation and shows abnormal cellular localization.

This study found that inhibiting the Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier in human hair follicles ex vivo activated the integrated stress response, affecting cell proliferation and metabolism.

This study found that hHbl gene expression is localized in the cortical cells of the human hair shaft and is notably high in pilomatricoma cells transitioning to hair shaft keratinocytes.

This study, conducted at Montefiore Medical Center, reports that central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia predominantly affects middle-aged Black or African American women, often presenting without symptoms, which may delay diagnosis and treatment. The study underscores the need for a specific ICD-10 code for better epidemiological studies.

This study identified a compound heterozygous mutation in a hairless rhesus macaque, which was associated with skin abnormalities similar to those in hairless mice and humans with APL.

This study found that mutations in the K17 gene underlie both pachyonychia congenita type 2 and steatocystoma multiplex phenotypes, regardless of the specific mutation involved.

In this retrospective study on pediatric craniospinal irradiation, researchers found that permanent radiation-induced alopecia occurred in 45.8% of patients, with higher radiation doses and treatment intensity being significant predictors, suggesting that defined dosimetric thresholds can support scalp-sparing planning.

This study found that diphlorethohydroxycarmalol significantly increased prostaglandin $E_2$ synthesis in HaCaT human keratinocytes by upregulating COX-1 and COX-2 expression, suggesting potential benefits from elevated $PGE_2$ production.

This notice announces the upcoming 22nd ISHRS Annual Scientific Meeting, highlighting it as a key event for hair restoration surgeons to learn about recent innovations; it reports no new results.

This review discusses pediculosis capitis, emphasizing its diagnosis and treatment strategies, but reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight the need for concurrent treatment of all close contacts.

In this study, researchers found that epithelial cells exhibit density-dependent metabolic heterogeneity, particularly in the pre-epithelial transition stage, where metabolic patterns correlate with cell proliferation and are influenced by actomyosin contractility.

The text is about acne, excessive hair growth, and hair loss due to hormones.

This case report highlights that a patient developed alopecia areata following treatment with sofosbuvir and ribavirin for chronic hepatitis C.

This study found that CTHRC1 is crucial for sweat gland function and vascular network integrity in mice, and its administration improved sweat gland performance by reconstructing nearby blood vessels.

The study found that IPI-926 was well tolerated up to 160 mg once daily for 28-day cycles and showed activity as a single-agent treatment in Hedgehog pathway inhibitor-naïve patients with basal cell carcinoma.

This study found that inhibiting class I histone deacetylases in postnatal mouse dermal cells preserved their ability to induce hair follicles during culture by increasing specific gene expressions and activating the Wnt signaling pathway.

This abstract describes the hands-on section of a Basics in Hair Restoration course but reports no new research findings.

In this study, treatment with DPCP alone was more effective for hair regrowth and presented fewer side effects in chronic extensive alopecia areata compared to combination therapy with DPCP and anthralin.

This study found that the selective PPARγ modulator GMG-43AC may inhibit unwanted hair growth by inducing catagen phase while preserving hair follicle epithelial progenitor cells, suggesting potential in anti-hirsutism therapy.

This study suggests that hydroxypinacolone retinoate (HPR) may be an effective alternative to tretinoin for anti-aging skin treatments, offering similar collagen production benefits without increased skin irritation.

A woman's hyperandrogenism was caused by a genetic mutation leading to non-classic adrenogenital syndrome.

This study found that treatment with cyproterone acetate and estradiol improved emotional well-being and acceptance of being viewed among women with hirsutism, with no significant differences between oral and transdermal estradiol groups.

In this study, oral cyproterone acetate reduced hair density and diameter in women with idiopathic hirsutism, but the effects were not permanent after stopping treatment, and plasma androgen levels remained unchanged.

In this study, no significant link was found between cap-wearing habits and quality of life in Indian males over 50 with androgenic alopecia, but more severe alopecia was associated with a poorer quality of life.

In this study, the researchers observed that antiandrogen treatment with Cyproterone acetate led to atrophy of pilo-sebaceous units and may activate Langerhans cells, contributing to local inflammation.

Sex and race affect immune responses and treatment outcomes in Hidradenitis suppurativa.

This case report detailed alopecia universalis developing shortly after hepatitis C treatment with peg-interferon, ribavirin, and telaprevir, suggesting potential immune-related links between interferon treatment and alopecia areata.

A 4-year-old girl had a rare hair disorder affecting only part of her scalp.

This study validated that both tape-based and image-based methods for measuring head crown areas, and the CASLite NOVA as well as Image-Pro software for hair count, showed acceptable agreement, supporting their interchangeable use in hair care research settings.
