A new test helps find drugs to treat head and neck cancer by targeting c-Rel.

In Ethiopia, this study found that certain skin and mucous membrane disorders, particularly oral conditions, were statistically related to HIV infection and may assist in early detection of the disease.

A boy with a rare birthmark called verrucous hemangioma needed careful timing for surgery due to its size and depth.

This report describes a child and his father with hereditary hypotrichosis simplex, an uncommon isolated form of hair loss, with no other ectodermal or systemic abnormalities noted.

In this study, researchers found that hTERT/SV40 immortalization of human dermal fibroblasts up-regulates skin cell markers and highlights the SIRT1 and miR-93 pathways' roles in maintaining fibroblast proliferation, potentially benefiting developments in the cosmetic industry.

This study described an Appenzeller Mountain Dog with clinical signs of an NSDHL defect, discovering a large heterozygous de novo deletion spanning the entire NSDHL gene through whole genome sequencing.

This article reviews the prevalence, causes, and associated conditions of hidradenitis suppurativa, a chronic inflammatory skin disease, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study demonstrates that an iPSC-derived skin organoid model effectively supports Merkel cell polyomavirus infection, persistence, and immune evasion, providing a valuable platform for studying viral tumorigenesis and testing treatment strategies.

In this case report, a 25-year-old woman with VKHD experienced an unusual occurrence of vellus-like hair growth on her normally hairless palm, observed twice over two years, expanding the known integumentary manifestations of VKHD.

This analysis reports that hepatitis B surface protein antigen exposure is associated with an increased risk of alopecia areata.

This article criticizes Hiner and Walters' omission of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections as potential causes of chronic diarrhea and emphasizes the importance of taking a sexual history.

This case report describes a rare instance of tinea capitis caused by Trichophyton tonsurans in a Chinese patient, followed by the development of herpes zoster, suggesting a potential link to immunosuppression.

This study observed hair-specific transcription of a reporter gene in transgenic mice, with increased expression after dexamethasone and ultraviolet B treatment.

This study found that basal cell carcinoma is more prevalent on the cutaneous lip while squamous cell carcinoma is more common on the vermilion lip, with rare recurrences following Mohs micrographic surgery.

This article discusses eruptive vellus hair cysts, detailing their appearance, distribution, histology, and potential spontaneous resolution, but reports no new clinical findings on treatment.

This review discusses fixed drug eruption (FDE) potentially linked to finasteride and emphasizes dermatologists' need to recognize its possible occurrence due to the drug's widespread use, but reports no new clinical results.

This article reviews the association between hepatitis C virus and systemic disorders like mixed cryoglobulinemia, highlighting potential autoimmune side effects from interferon-a2b treatments, and reports no new clinical results.

This report discusses a rare case where immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome in an HIV patient led to dermatologic, ophthalmologic, and neurologic complications due to secondary syphilis.

This study observed that renal transplant recipients had a higher incidence of infectious skin diseases, particularly human papilloma virus infections, highlighting the importance of regular dermatological screening.

This study suggests that Merkel cell polyomavirus T antigen-positive cells resembling Merkel cell carcinoma may originate from epithelial cells in human hair follicles, potentially informing future transgenic mouse models for this cancer.

In this study, researchers observed that hidradenitis suppurativa lesions were associated with reduced collagen and elastin, and increased neovascularization in areas with chronic inflammation.

This case report suggests that Trichostasis spinulosa should be considered in diagnosing treatment-resistant open comedone-like lesions and that skin surface biopsy might be an effective diagnostic method.

This study found that the SVpgC2a keratinocyte cell line, used as a model for dysplastic epithelium, showed increased apoptosis, proliferation, and aberrant keratin expression compared to normal keratinocytes from buccal mucosa.

This case report describes the occurrence of eruptive vellus hair cysts in twin patients, adding to the literature on this dermatological condition.

This article reports that while surgical excision is often the best treatment for SCC, intralesional cidofovir also showed success without systemic toxicity in the case discussed.

This study reports the first case of ovarian mature cystic teratoma linked to clinical virilization due to ectopic testosterone production, possibly from overexpression of the enzyme HSD17B5.

This study observed that specific dermoscopic features, such as altered pigmentary network and yeast invasion of hair follicles, along with certain histopathological features, assist in diagnosing pityriasis versicolor.

This case report documented a novel presentation of a canine viral plaque appearing as a solitary exophytic keratin-filled mass, highlighting the need to differentiate it from a hair follicle tumor.

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