In this study, researchers observed that rhino mice exhibit significant ductal hyperkeratinization in the meibomian gland, which may represent the first naturally occurring disorder of this gland in mice.

This systematic review reports that HAIR-AN syndrome, characterized by severe insulin resistance, hyperandrogenism, and distinctive skin issues, significantly impacts obese women and can improve with treatments like metformin, emphasizing the importance of targeted management to reduce metabolic complications.

This study suggests that nestin is an important marker for identifying HMB-45-negative cells in nodular melanomas, particularly in the dermal parts.

This review discusses transdermal drug delivery using hydrogel-forming microneedles and highlights their potential and challenges for clinical application, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that neprilysin (NEP) activity and expression play a significant role in regulating the hair cycle in rats, with a specific inhibitor suppressing hair growth in mice.

In this study, researchers identified a novel and two previously reported pathogenic mutations in the HR gene associated with atrichia with papular lesions in five Pakistani families.

Iron deficiency causes hair loss by affecting hair differentiation and cycling.

This article reviews the condition plica neuropathica, including its manifestations, potential causes, and treatment, but it does not provide new clinical findings.

This study observed that ultrastructural changes like lamellar bodies and electron-dense granules in the stratum corneum may aid in the early diagnosis of Netherton syndrome.

This review highlights effective non-invasive strategies such as physiotherapy, pharmacological treatments, and Botulinum toxin injections for managing head and neck neuralgias, emphasizing the importance of tailoring treatment to individual needs based on the specific type of neuralgia.

This study found that overexpression of the intercellular adhesion protein Necl2 in hair follicle stem cells was associated with reduced cell proliferation and delayed wound healing in both cultured cells and transgenic mice.

This study suggests that human scalp hair follicles express erythropoietin and its receptor, up-regulating receptor expression under hypoxic conditions, and may mimic another hypothalamus–pituitary axis equivalent involving the TRH-TSH system.

This report describes a new case of Marie-Unna hereditary hypotrichosis in an 18-year-old girl, marking the first occurrence in a previously unaffected family.

In this study, researchers developed hyaluronic acid derivatives functionalized with nitric oxide photodonors for light-activated skin treatments, finding that the compounds released NO under blue light and enhanced keratinocyte proliferation and migration, suggesting potential for therapeutic use.

In this study, researchers reported no statistically significant association between hair cortisol levels and either perceived stress or objective neuroendocrine stress measures in a predominantly male participant group.

This study found that activating the hexosamine pathway increased hyaluronic acid secretion and hair follicle stem cell numbers in vitro, suggesting its role in modulating skin homeostasis.

In this article, the authors review the causes, diagnosis, and treatment approaches for hirsutism in women, emphasizing diagnosis, hormonal therapies, lifestyle modifications, and cosmetic options for managing this condition in primary care settings.

This study reported that heterozygosity for FHIT affects mice's susceptibility to spontaneous alopecia areata and to certain preneoplastic lesions induced by benzo[a]pyrene, but does not change how they respond to budesonide and N-acetyl-L-cysteine.

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 study found that TRH modulates specific keratins in human scalp tissue, suggesting its potential influence on hair growth and the need for further exploration of neuroendocrine controls in keratin expression.

This study found that hirsute women had a significantly higher incidence of psychological issues compared to controls, unrelated to the severity of their hirsutism or androgen levels.

This study reports that a new nude allele, nu(StL), encodes a truncated Whn transcription factor affecting T-cell development and keratin gene expression, with notable differences from the original Whn(nu) mutation.

Hhip-Cre effectively targets dermal papilla cells for gene manipulation in hair biology.

In a meta-analysis of 210 hair tourniquet syndrome cases, this study reported that 44.2% involved the penis, 40.4% the toes, and 8.6% fingers, highlighting the condition's potential severity and underreporting, especially in infants and some adults with cognitive impairments.

This study reports that transgene insertion in homozygous transgenic mice causes irreversible hair loss and impaired immune function, linked to interruption of the hairless locus on Chromosome 14.

This study observed that the catagen phase in hairless mice displayed a slower shortening of the mutant epithelial column, resulting in longer total follicle length and abnormalities in the connective tissue sheath and glassy membrane.

This paper reviews how studying the microbiome of the freshwater polyp Hydra can inform new, microbiome-targeting therapies for human hair follicle and skin diseases; it presents no new experimental findings.
