This report details two patients with Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria syndrome who exhibited generalized shiny skin in infancy and had a novel mutation in the LMNA gene.

This study observed that some patients with homozygous c.736T>A mutation in LIPH may have mild hypotrichosis with long hairs in adulthood.

This study emphasizes the genetic component of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, highlighting an atypical case involving an adolescent male within an African-American family.

This article reviews the use of hair cortisol concentration as a biomarker to assess long-term stress in both animals and humans, but it reports no new experimental results.

This report discusses the characteristics of circle hairs, a type of body hair growth disorder, and emphasizes the value of trichoscopy for diagnosis.

This case study describes a rare cutaneous follicular hybrid cyst intimately associated with syringocystadenoma papilliferum, proposing a potential relationship with the infrainfundibulum based on keratin expression.

This report highlights a case where intralesional cidofovir successfully treated squamous cell carcinoma without systemic toxicity, suggesting it may be a viable alternative to surgical excision.

This study observed some differences in clinical outcomes when comparing CPA with spironolactone, flutamide, and finasteride, but no differences with other therapies, possibly due to small study size and non-standardized assessments; adverse effects could not be fully compared across treatments.

This review discusses Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome, its symptomatology, and the progress in developing treatment strategies, emphasizing that while a cure remains elusive, advances in understanding the disease's molecular mechanisms show promise for future approaches.

This review discusses recent advancements in understanding and managing congenital adrenal hyperplasia, including improvements in screening, diagnostics, and potential genetic and cell-based treatments, but reports no new clinical findings.

In liver cancer cells, this study found that upregulating hsa_circ_0002980 inhibits cell proliferation, metastasis, and EMT by modulating the miR-1303/CADM2 axis, suggesting it as a potential therapeutic target.

This study found that loss-of-function mutations in the HOXC13 gene cause autosomal-recessive pure hair and nail ectodermal dysplasia, emphasizing its role in hair and nail development.

In this study, researchers observed that overweight Taiwanese women with PCOS who carry the HSD3B1 1245C allele have a significantly higher risk of developing androgenic alopecia compared to those with the wild-type allele.

This trial found that intradermal injections of the Hair Stimulating Complex were well-tolerated and effectively stimulated hair growth and prevented hair loss in male pattern baldness participants over 18 weeks.

This review discusses current strategies for head and neck cancer treatment, highlighting the effectiveness of cisplatin in combination therapies, and notes increased toxicity with multimodal treatments but no overall survival advantage for doublet regimens; it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers found that hepatitis C virus infection is a significant risk factor for sporadic porphyria cutanea tarda, suggesting familial cases might be more prevalent in areas with low hepatitis C infection rates.

This review discusses how the HSD3B1(1245C) genotype may impact androgen physiology and the progression of castration-resistant prostate cancer, and does not report new experimental results.

This case study reports an unusual presentation of erosive lichen planus of the scalp linked to hepatitis C in a patient, highlighting challenges in establishing a definitive correlation between the two conditions.

This study found that hairless mice with homozygous mutations developed significantly more aggressive basal cell carcinomas and a heightened inflammatory response to UVB exposure compared to their haired littermates.

This review discusses the development of targeted therapies for basal cell carcinoma that interfere with Hedgehog signaling and reports no new research findings.

This study found that organ-cultured human scalp hair follicles can mimic chemotherapy-induced damage in vivo and serve as a model to explore molecular targets and protective agents for hair follicle preservation.

This letter reports a homozygous missense mutation in the LIPH gene causing autosomal recessive hypotrichosis simplex in a Chinese patient.

This review discusses the current medical treatments for hepatocellular carcinoma, noting that while new local therapies show high response rates, their true impact on patient survival is uncertain.

This study identified two prevalent and one newly proposed founder LIPH mutations in Japanese patients with autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis and associated these mutations with different severities of hair loss.

This special issue contains abstracts from the ASA 40th Annual Meeting, providing an overview of various studies without reporting new primary results.

This study found that patients with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia were less likely to report treatment improvement and more commonly associated with certain hairstyling practices compared to those with other scarring alopecias.

This study found that a novel method of isolating human follicle stem cells from hair follicles via mechanical centrifugation, without culture conditions, promises to improve hair density in patients with Androgenetic Alopecia and some cases of Alopecia Areata.

This study found that diagnosing nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia in women based solely on serum 17OHP measurements can lead to false positives, suggesting the need for urinary steroid profiles and genetic testing for confirmation.

In this study, no significant differences in hidradenitis suppurativa severity or testosterone levels were found between women with and without polycystic ovary syndrome, suggesting PCOS does not predict poor prognosis in HS patients.

This report describes a novel mutation in the CDH3 gene in an 11-year-old Iranian boy with hypotrichosis and juvenile macular dystrophy, indicating a new genetic variant associated with the disorder.
