In this study, researchers identified novel LMNA mutations in patients with atypical progeroid syndrome, revealing clinical features distinct from other similar disorders, but unrelated to mutant prelamin A accumulation.

This study found that certain plasma protein ratios, specifically AGRN/HSPG2 and DECR1/FKBP1B, were significantly associated with an increased risk of alopecia areata, indicating potential causal relationships but reverse causality was not supported.

Post-steroid panniculitis is now rare because doctors taper steroids more carefully.

In this study, three patients with Type-1 autoimmune hepatitis experienced normalized liver enzymes and remission after six months of oral prednisolone treatment, while three others refused treatment.

This report provides the first microscopic description of pachyonychia congenita-associated alopecia, identifying a combination of histological features that might be unique to this condition.

A woman developed rare, unexplained curly hair on her scalp and eyelashes.

In this randomized controlled trial, the topical application of a PGA solution significantly increased hair density in patients with androgenetic alopecia compared to placebo, with no adverse reactions reported over 24 weeks, suggesting its potential as a safe and effective treatment option.

This study identified a compound heterozygous mutation in a hairless rhesus macaque, which was associated with skin abnormalities similar to those in hairless mice and humans with APL.

In this study, researchers analyzed adverse events linked to avacopan using FDA data, finding no high-priority safety concerns but identifying five potential new adverse events, including alopecia, primarily among American patients, and noting a higher risk of liver dysfunction in Japanese patients.

This study identified a monoclonal antibody, HKN-2, that recognizes specific cells in human skin and may indicate a common antigenic determinant between hair and other skin epithelial tissues.

PDRN may help with female hair loss, but more research is needed.

This article reports a rare combination of rapid-onset halo nevi, nonsegmental vitiligo, and premature scalp hair graying.

This case report diagnosed variegate porphyria in a 33-year-old woman based on significant laboratory abnormalities, but with clinical features resembling porphyria cutanea tarda.

This case report describes a woman with Sheehan's syndrome, leading to severe combined systolic and diastolic heart failure, where treatment improved cardiac function.

This study describes the development of the BASP classification system, providing a universal and systematic approach for classifying pattern hair loss in both men and women.

This study identified "HTLV-1-associated lichenoid dermatitis" as a skin condition in HTLV-1-infected individuals, characterized by reactive eruptions associated with increased immunity toward infected CD4+ T cells.

This study observed that recognizing herpetic infection in pemphigus patients can help avoid unnecessary changes in immunosuppressive treatments for lesions wrongly presumed treatment-resistant.

This article discusses the role of human scalp hair follicles in neurohormone production and their model potential for studying neuroendocrine signaling, reporting no experimental results.

This study found that targeting the p300/androgen receptor axis effectively reduced AR activation and ovarian fibrosis in mouse models of polycystic ovary syndrome, suggesting a potential therapeutic approach.

Low androgen levels can still cause female pattern hair loss.

This report describes a case of acute liver failure linked to the use of the herbal supplement Ban Tu Wan, which highlights potential risks associated with herbal medications.

In this study, dihydroartemisinin reduced prostate enlargement and related markers in a rat model of benign prostatic hyperplasia, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic agent.

This study reported a rare case of pityriasis rubra pilaris-like skin reaction in an 18-year-old woman after starting ponatinib treatment for relapsed Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia, which resolved after treatment adjustment and did not recur over 15 months.

In this case report, the researchers documented a rare instance of plica neuropathica, characterized by matted and twisted hair, occurring alongside diffuse alopecia, marking the first such documented association and emphasizing its diagnostic challenges in identifying causes of alopecia.

This case report describes a 52-year-old woman with multiple autoimmune conditions suggesting a diagnosis of PAS IIIC, characterized by prominent skin-related symptoms.

In this study, the synthesis of C-4 and C-6 bridged haptens of 11 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone revealed an unexpected formation of a C-4 substituted product using a 6-bromo derivative, contrary to prior reports.

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 paper reviews plica polonica, a rare hair disorder linked historically to poor hygiene and now to severe self-neglect or medical conditions, and outlines various treatment and preventive strategies but reports no new findings.

This study found that the L457(3.43)R mutation in the human luteinizing hormone receptor increases phosphodiesterase activity, reducing hormonal response despite elevated basal cAMP levels.

This study found that the BASP classification system for pattern hair loss showed better reproducibility and repeatability compared to the Norwood-Hamilton classification.
