In this study, a case of a 70-year-old woman with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia showed that using a high-quality hair prosthesis improved her quality of life and mood, as measured by PHQ-9 and Skindex-29 scores, though such wigs are rarely covered by insurance.

This study found that AHCC significantly reduced alopecia caused by Ara-C in neonatal rats and improved liver function affected by 6-MP and MTX in mice.

This study reports a case of GGCX syndrome in a 55-year-old Japanese male, characterized by PXE-like symptoms and coagulation deficiency, with an unreported phenotype of possible spinocerebellar degeneration.

Intense pulsed light with radiofrequency showed mixed results in improving quality of life for hidradenitis suppurativa patients, with no clinical improvements.

A gene called APCDD1, which controls hair growth, is found to be faulty in a type of hair loss called hereditary hypotrichosis simplex.

HPV 60 may cause cysts and warts on the face, not just hands and feet.

This study suggests that hair cortisol measurement could serve as an alternative diagnostic method for Cushing’s disease, showing acceptable concordance with urinary free cortisol despite differing evaluated periods.

This report highlights a new genetic variant of Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome in two sisters from the first identified family case in Russia, emphasizing the varied manifestations of the disorder and the importance of genetic testing for diagnosis and patient-specific treatment planning.

This study identified a novel splice site mutation in the LIPH gene associated with autosomal recessive woolly hair, contributing to understanding the genetic basis of this condition.

This article describes Amy Senior's evolving views on the Joint Council for Cosmetic Practitioners and reports no new research findings.

This report describes three Saudi sisters with Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome, who exhibited typical features of the condition along with unusual gynecological anomalies.

This study found that a hydrogel formulation containing insulin, chitosan, and hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose improved wound healing in diabetic mice, promoting faster wound closure and organized tissue formation, with in vitro tests showing no cytotoxicity and enhanced cell migration.

This phase 2a trial evaluated Samcyprone for common wart treatment and found that while a sensitization reaction is necessary for therapeutic response, its level does not predict wart clearance.

This study developed and evaluated a photographic scale to assess CCCA pattern and severity in African American women, finding it reproducible when used by investigators and participants.

PRO-C22 can help diagnose and monitor the severity of hidradenitis suppurativa.

This study identified a splicing-site deletion in the DCAF17 gene associated with Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome in a large consanguineous pedigree, leading to typical phenotypic features.

This study found that the Hair Mass Index is suitable for quantifying hair loss, but patient self-assessment is the most reliable method for evaluating chemotherapy-induced alopecia in clinical practice.

This study found that low molecular weight collagen peptide from fish may promote hair growth in both human cells and mice by activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

This case report describes a 33-year-old Kashmiri woman with Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome who has a rare DCAF17 gene mutation, c.321+1G>A, providing further evidence for its role in the genetic basis of this neuroendocrine disorder.

This study found that hair sample weight was a better predictor of hair cortisol concentration than hair protein concentration, suggesting that using the standard cortisol-to-weight ratio is more suitable for measuring cumulative cortisol activity in scalp hair.

In this study, a novel DCAF17 gene mutation was identified in a Chinese family, suggesting a potential role in pancreatic β cell dysfunction and diabetes development in Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome.

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.

Warts in HIV-positive men can have serious abnormal cell growth, needing careful analysis and treatment to prevent cancer.

Experts discussed hair care, genetic hair defects, hair loss treatments, nail surgery, lupus treatments, skin infections, and cosmetic allergies.

This study highlights the phenotypic variability in 5 patients with Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome carrying the c.436delC mutation, suggesting a broader range of clinical presentations than previously recognized.

This study developed a composite product from decellularized human placental connective tissue matrix and placental extract, finding that the combination showed improved biochemical and mechanical properties compared to each component alone, suggesting its potential use for treating chronic and deeper wounds.

In this study, researchers found that targeting a tacrolimus trough level of 4–7 ng/mL after liver transplantation resulted in comparable graft and patient survival rates to higher levels, while improving liver and kidney function markers.

This letter shares personal insights and experiences from attending the World Hair Society meeting, providing no new research findings.

In this case study from King Fahad University Hospital, an 11-month-old Saudi boy with a history of short, non-growing hair was diagnosed with autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis, attributed to a homozygous mutation in the LIPH gene.

This study found that conditioned medium from human dental pulp stem cells (particularly under hypoxic conditions) improved keratinocyte survival and hair regrowth in a chemotherapy-induced alopecia mouse model and did not promote tumor growth, suggesting potential for safe therapeutic use.
