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 case report describes a 15-year-old Japanese girl with juvenile hypothyroidism who developed hypertrichosis and hyperkeratosis due to a keratin plug inhibiting hair growth on her back and arms.

This report describes a 6-year-old girl with Turner syndrome and coexisting psoriasis, alopecia areata, and trachyonychia, suggesting a potential link between these conditions.

This case study of a 45-year-old man from Tonga describes the identification of pachyonychia congenita through genetic testing, revealing a mutation in the keratin gene KRT16, associated with chronic painful skin and nail conditions.

This review discusses the various skin manifestations associated with end-stage renal disease and their potential causes but reports no new clinical findings; the authors emphasize pruritus as a significant condition.

This article presents two cases of keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans and reviews its features, highlighting characteristic progression from keratosis pilaris in infancy to cicatricial alopecia in childhood.

This review discusses the variety of skin disorders associated with atopic dermatitis, exploring their complex relationships and shared genetic and environmental factors, but reports no new clinical results.

This article illustrates various hair shaft defects and suggests that dermatologists can diagnose most of them using light microscopy and polarization without needing advanced imaging techniques.

This study demonstrates that keratin K2 is crucial for proper keratinocyte structure and function in specific mouse skin areas, and its deficiency leads to cellular aggregates and skin abnormalities.

The researchers reported that in hairless mice, epidermal cell division orientations and epidermal thickness varied by body site, with dorsal and ear epidermis primarily dividing parallel to the basement membrane, unlike hind paw and tail epidermis.

This study found that lash ptosis was more common and severe in eyes with blepharoptosis, especially congenital, compared to normal eyes.

This review discusses the classic skin characteristics of hypothyroidism, notably generalized myxedema caused by increased glycosaminoglycan deposition, and reports no clinical results.

This review discusses various nonfollicular scalp conditions causing secondary scarring or permanent alopecia and highlights the importance of specific diagnoses and treatments but reports no new results.

This study found that a novel rare variant in ITGB6 may cause intellectual disability, alopecia, and dentogingival anomalies in a specific Pakistani family, highlighting a potential role for ITGB6 beyond enamel formation.

This study found that Hoxc13-/- rabbits exhibit complete hair loss on the head and dorsum, providing a potential model for understanding human ECTD-9 and related dermatological conditions.

This case report describes the successful treatment of severe bullous erythema multiforme in a patient using cyclosporine, where prior high-dose corticosteroids had only partially worked.

This study found that defective cross-linking in hair cuticles is observable in a minority of mouse hair mutants, suggesting different proteins are involved in cross-linking across cell types.

In this study, a novel homozygous mutation in the STAT5B gene was identified in a 17-year-old boy with growth hormone-refractory growth failure, severe eczema, and autoimmune disease, suggesting a similarity to known STAT5B deficiency phenotypes.

In this study, human hair follicles showed varying expression of cholesterol transport proteins during the hair cycle, suggesting a potential role of cholesterol in hair growth and cycling.

This study found that dermatological manifestations in HIV-positive individuals, such as infectious and non-infectious dermatoses, were significantly associated with CD4 T cell count.

This study reported that hair and scalp disorders accounted for a significant portion of pediatric dermatology visits, with a diverse range of conditions observed among the children.

A girl with Netherton syndrome was able to eat wheat without allergies after a special treatment.

This article discusses the authors' concerns over the misinterpretation of studies linking smoking and frontal fibrosing alopecia, clarifying that neither study suggests smoking is protective against the condition.

This meeting report discusses the first symposium on natural gene therapy for skin, preceding the 41st annual meeting of the European Society for Dermatological Research, and reports no new experimental findings.

This article reviews the causes of hair loss in pediatric and adult populations, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing between primary dermatologic conditions and those related to systemic diseases, but reports no new clinical findings.

The author clarifies observations from their earlier article on psoriatic alopecia, including three types of hair loss associated with psoriasis, particularly noting hair loss within lesions due to dystrophic anagen follicles.

This study reports an association between the ESR2 gene variant rs10137185 and female-pattern hair loss in German patients.

Contact dermatitis may speed up hair loss in some cases.

This case report documents the first known instance of nevoid hyperkeratosis of the nipple and areola with unilateral presentation in a Saudi female, diagnosed through clinical evaluation and biopsy.
