This review discusses the range of diseases caused by mutations in keratin intermediate filament genes and presents no new clinical findings; the authors note the diverse phenotypes within this molecular category.

This study suggests that trichoscopic features, such as perifollicular erythema and cicatricial white patches, are independently associated with pruritus and the severity of frontal fibrosing alopecia.

This study found that obesity is associated with several skin conditions, such as striae and pseudoacanthosis nigricans, which may serve as markers of excessive weight.

This study found that dermoscopy showed distinctive patterns for different types of alopecia, supporting its clinical usefulness for diagnosing diseases with small round or oval hairless patches on the scalp.

This study found that among women with frontal fibrosing alopecia, 100% showed dermoscopic elements suggestive of the condition, with perifollicular erythema often indicating disease activity.

This article discusses the role of growth hormone, insulin, and IGF-1 in acne development and highlights how diet and syndromic evidence support their involvement, but presents no new clinical findings.

This study found diverse clinical presentations of lichen planopilaris, with classic lichen planopilaris being the most common, highlighting the importance of recognizing this variability for accurate diagnosis.

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

This study is the first to describe a mixed pattern of essential syphilitic alopecia using trichoscopy, identifying features like tapered bended hairs and perifollicular hyperkeratosis in a patient without secondary syphilis symptoms.

This study found that horizontal sections of scalp biopsies in patients with Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia often reveal follicular miniaturization, inflammation, and scarring, which can guide personalized treatment.

This study concluded that coat damage in captive rhesus macaques is unlikely caused by parasitic, bacterial, or mycotic infections but may be linked to environmental or behavioral factors affecting hair growth.

This study found that sphynx cats exhibit hair follicle dysplasia with abnormal hair shaft production, but without a reduction in the number of follicles, similar to murine KRT 71 mutants.

This report documented the first known case of Malassezia slooffiae-associated dermatitis identified in a goat through diagnostic work-up, including histology and DNA sequencing.

This study observed that frontal fibrosing alopecia is increasingly diagnosed in Italian Caucasian females, often showing premenopausal onset and eyebrow alopecia as an early sign.

In this study, encorafenib combined with binimetinib was well tolerated in melanoma patients, resulting in relatively few cutaneous adverse events compared to other BRAF and MEK inhibitors.

Fibroblasts from healthy donors can prevent changes seen in recessive epidermolysis bullosa simplex.

This study provides one of the first descriptions of the demographic, clinical, and therapeutic characteristics of lichen planopilaris in Chilean adults, reporting that treatment usually reduced or halted disease progression.

This case report suggests that lithium, either alone or with haloperidol, may induce skin changes resembling follicular mycosis fungoides.

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.

This study describes a distinctive form of ichthyosis characterized by abnormal epidermal differentiation mainly within hair follicles in four patients with congenital follicular hyperkeratosis.

Keratin proteins in epithelial cells are dynamic and crucial for cell processes and disease understanding.

This study examined patients with trichostasis spinulosa and identified distinct differences in the distribution and microscopic appearances of lesions compared to keratosis pilaris and eruptive vellus hair cysts.

This study compared trichostasis spinulosa with keratosis pilaris and eruptive vellus hair cysts, finding differences in lesion distribution and microscopic appearance.

This review details pathologic changes in hair follicles, such as infundibular hyperkeratosis and inflammation, but offers no new diagnostic results.

In this prospective study, dabrafenib and trametinib were associated with various skin side effects, including papillomas, hyperkeratosis, and acneiform eruptions in patients with metastatic melanoma.

This study found that combined therapy with cetirizine and topical steroids stabilized inflammation in most patients with lichen planus pilaris, though one patient experienced cardiac arrhythmia.

This case report presents the first evidence of significant antigen presenting cells around hair follicles in a patient with alopecia due to active systemic lupus erythematosus.

This study described a Scottish family with hidrotic ectodermal dysplasia featuring variable symptoms such as hypo/oligodontia, thin hair, and heat tolerance, and concluded they exhibited overlapping traits with Clouston syndrome.

This study found that adult patients with Myotonic Dystrophy type 1 exhibited a higher prevalence of various morphofunctional, inflammatory, and proliferative skin disorders compared to healthy controls.

This article presents a case of trichostasis spinulosa, a common but often unrecognized disorder, diagnosed through dermoscopic examination of black macules revealing bundled vellus hairs, with the patient declining treatment.
