This case report describes the first confirmed instance of trichodysplasia spinulosa in a child with Down syndrome and leukemia, linking it to the TS-associated polyomavirus.

This study found that fibronectin nanofiber dressings, made using rotary jet spinning, accelerated wound healing and improved tissue restoration in a full-thickness wound mouse model.

This study suggests a regulatory model where HOXC13 activates Foxn1, affecting hair and nail differentiation, supported by similarities in Hoxc13(tm1Mrc) and Foxn1(nu) mice phenotypes and gene expression patterns.

This study suggests that a novel micropatterned dermal–epidermal matrix (μDERM) enhances keratinocyte function and epidermal morphology, offering potential improvements in skin substitute design for wound healing applications.

This study found that intra-follicular Wnt signaling and dermal BMP signaling oscillate differently during hair cycling in mice, affecting hair wave propagation and phases of hair growth.

In this review, the researchers reported that JAK inhibitors, originally approved by the FDA for other uses, have shown effectiveness in reversing hair loss in patients with moderate to severe alopecia areata, based on current preclinical and clinical studies.

This paper discusses the role of Runx1 in epithelial biology and pathology, highlighting its dual function as a tumor promoter and suppressor in different contexts, and reports no new experimental findings.

This study found that polycystic ovary syndrome is independently associated with more severe non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, including advanced fibrosis, in reproductive-aged women with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

This study found that both the natural ligand 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) and the synthetic agonist LG190178 bind similarly to the vitamin D receptor's coregulator motifs, suggesting similar biological functions.

This study found that hypogonadism in men can be a reversible risk factor for torsades de pointes (TdP), with testosterone replacement potentially preventing TdP recurrence.

In this study, immobilized VEGF selectively captured endothelial cells under various shear stresses, suggesting its potential for promoting endothelialization in vascular grafts or implanted tissues.

In this study, hydroxychloroquine use was associated with a delayed onset of integument damage in SLE patients, while higher disease activity over time predicted quicker damage development.

This study demonstrates that SDF-1/CXCL12 and CXCR4 signaling play a crucial role in directing the migration and positioning of melanoblasts in mouse hair follicle formation.

This study found that certain C57BL/6 mouse substrains have a genetic vulnerability to skin lesions resembling central centrifugal cicatrical alopecia in humans, potentially worsened by high vitamin A levels.

This study identified enzymes responsible for regulating androgen action in the human prostate, suggesting that inhibiting AKR1C2 or RL-HSD may have therapeutic potential in androgen insufficiency or benign prostatic hyperplasia, respectively.

This study suggests that vitamin D and its receptor may protect against the development of epidermal tumors following UV radiation by regulating specific cellular signaling pathways.

This study suggests that vitamin A influences the immune response and hair cycle, affecting the progression of alopecia areata in mouse models.

This narrative review evaluates evidence that regional hypothermia can reduce oral, hair, eye, and nail complications from chemotherapy, but highlights the need for more research to address study limitations.

In this study, cisplatin was found to induce cell death in human hair follicle cells through hydroxyl radical generation and Bcl-2 down-regulation, suggesting potential strategies for preventing chemotherapy-induced alopecia.

This study found that penile and clitoral differentiation in mice is influenced by androgen exposure, with penile features developing postnatally requiring prenatal and ongoing androgen presence.

This study demonstrated that combining AMD3100 with low-dose tacrolimus in a stem cell mobilization approach significantly reduced wound healing time and improved scar and hair follicle regeneration in full-thickness skin wounds.

This study found that topical corticosteroids are the most supported first-line treatment for pediatric alopecia areata, with contact immunotherapy as the next best option.

This study presents a new mouse model for investigating chronic graft-versus-host disease, highlighting the role of human thymic tissue in developing multiorgan fibrosis driven by human immune cells.

This review discusses the role of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) in radiation response and highlights their potential as biomarkers for assessing radiation damage, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that radiation-induced salivary gland dysfunction in mice involves microvascular damage mediated by ceramide and reactive oxygen species, suggesting ROS scavengers could protect salivary function during radiotherapy for head and neck cancer.

This study reported that deleting the MED1 subunit from the MED complex in keratinocytes resulted in disrupted hair differentiation and cycling, leading to hair loss in mice.

This study reported that a 10-week course of clindamycin and rifampicin was commonly used for treating folliculitis decalvans but the evidence on its efficacy remains inconclusive due to the low quality of available studies.

This review highlights the need for a deeper understanding of the genetic mechanisms in alopecia areata to develop evidence-based treatments, but it provides no new experimental results.

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 literature review reported that scalp hypothermia significantly decreases the occurrence of chemotherapy-induced alopecia, increasing effectiveness by 2.7-fold in controlled clinical trials and 3.9-fold in randomized trials, and highlighted a need for standard guidelines for its use.
