This study utilized 3D ultra-high frequency ultrasound to effectively detect different disease phases of alopecia areata by visualizing hair follicle structures and identifying unique pathological signs, offering a promising non-invasive diagnostic tool that surpasses conventional methods.

This study describes a family with loose anagen hair syndrome associated with macular dystrophy, suggesting this combination may represent a new disease entity among ectodermal dysplasias.

A specific gene mutation causes sparse, brittle hair in a family.

This study found that the absence of Hes1 in hair follicles delays secondary hair germ activation and shortens the anagen phase, impacting HFSC self-renewal and long-term hair regeneration.

This study suggests that using UVFD to examine non-pigmented facial lesions can potentially enhance diagnostic accuracy and reduce unnecessary biopsies.

In this case study, a female patient with folliculitis decalvans experienced hair re-growth and relief from symptoms like pain and burning after undergoing autologous fat transplantation, suggesting beneficial effects from stem cell therapy assisted by the inflammatory action of transplanted fat.

This study found that a new clinic-based modified hair fall count method is a valid tool for assessing hair loss in women, showing strong association and high precision compared to the conventional home-based method.

This study found that the absence of Hif-p4h-2 in specific mouse skin cells disrupted hair follicle development, leading to hair loss due to irregular keratin formation and pathway signaling.

Hair follicle dermal stem cells help control hair growth timing by regulating signals at the hair germ–dermal papilla interface.

This study explores the expression and function of 11β-HSD1 in human hair follicles and its potential regulation of glucocorticoid effects on dermal papilla cells, but reports no definitive findings on 11β-HSD1's role.

This report describes a case where a woman with frontal fibrosing alopecia initially presented with symptoms resembling rosacea, but further investigation led to a diagnosis of FFA, resulting in a treatment change to oral finasteride and hydroxychloroquine.

This study found that in participants with notalgia paresthetica, 8 weeks of treatment with difelikefalin significantly improved itch intensity and increased the rate of strict complete response compared to placebo, starting as early as week 3.

This review covers the molecular basis of Birt–Hogg–Dubé syndrome and its implications for potential therapeutic targets, but it does not report new experimental results.

This study developed a potent Wnt surrogate with high specificity for the Fzd7 receptor in mice, promoting full hair follicle regeneration and robust hair growth, suggesting potential applications in tissue development and targeted regeneration.

This article reports on three new cases of Birt–Hogg–Dubé Syndrome and emphasizes the role of genetic analysis in its diagnosis due to clinical challenges.

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 study found that skin organoids derived from iPSCs with an HS-associated NCSTN mutation showed defects in hair follicle stem cell differentiation and increased expression of inflammatory proteins related to hidradenitis suppurativa.

Keratosis Follicularis Spinulosa Decalvans is a rare genetic disorder causing skin and hair issues, often inherited through the X chromosome.

This letter to the editor describes a case of postcast hypertrichosis in a patient with frontal fibrosing alopecia and reports no new research findings.

This study identified a missense variant in the EDA gene of a male cat, which likely caused hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, characterized by hair and teeth abnormalities; this represents the first report of such a genetic condition in cats.

This study found that dysregulation of the folliculin-p0071 interaction may lead to changes in cell adhesion and signaling, contributing to conditions like emphysema and renal cell carcinoma.

This abstract describes frontal fibrosing alopecia, a type of cicatricial alopecia identified in post-menopausal women, and reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that a new three-dimensional high-frequency ultrasound (3D-HFUS) can successfully visualize skin tumors and inflammatory hair diseases, offering promising noninvasive diagnostic and evaluation capabilities compared to traditional two-dimensional methods.

In this article, researchers describe a novel FUE device designed to enhance follicular unit excision surgery by minimizing follicular injury and improving ergonomics with features such as Bluetooth functionality, fingertip touch sensors, and automated operation.

This study found that Dab2 conditional knockout mice experienced delayed hair follicle cycles and reduced hair follicle stem cell activity, suggesting Dab2's crucial role in regulating stem cell activation and anti-aging process in hair follicles.

This study identifies a new mutation in the Scd1 gene in a strain of Kunming mice, causing skin and hair defects with the mildest impact among similar mutations.

This study suggests that Hejie Shengfa Decoction may help treat alopecia areata by influencing immune and inflammatory pathways, regulating apoptosis, and enhancing the follicular microenvironment.

This study found that a hypomorphic mutation in the Hr gene contributes to the development of diet-induced pruritic atopic skin in mice, particularly when combined with dietary deficiencies of polyunsaturated fatty acids and starch.

This study developed and validated the Hair-Shedding Visual Scale for Asian Women, finding it to be an effective tool for identifying FPHL and TE.

This report describes a 27-year-old patient with Ehler-Danlos syndrome who also presented with hypophosphatasia and mastocytosis, and suggests enzyme replacement therapy might alleviate symptoms in such overlapping genetic conditions.
