Cornification evolved from keratinization in vertebrates, with differences between mammals and sauropsids.

This article reviews the challenges in studying keratin proteins and emphasizes the potential of modern proteomic techniques to advance their research, but it reports no new findings.

This study found that keratin 19, unlike keratin 14, forms less stable filaments with keratin 5, suggesting distinct assembly properties and potential unique roles in skin basal cells.

Hair follicles have unique proteins that vary by species and are influenced by nutrition.

This study observed that insulin-dependent diabetes induces specific molecular changes in the keratin structure of hair, potentially offering a new way to study diabetic complications through easily accessible tissues.

This study investigated the effects of different relaxer treatments on African-American hair, finding lab-made relaxer solutions caused less damage to hair topography than commercial systems.

This review reports that KRT80 is overexpressed in various cancers, enhancing cancer cell proliferation, invasiveness, and migration, suggesting it as a potential therapeutic target, though more clinical studies are needed to fully understand its role in cancer prognosis.

In this study, transfection experiments showed that mutations in the K85 gene affect filament formation with K35, which may impact hair formation related to ectodermal dysplasia.

This study found that chemically treated hair, particularly when subjected to both acid straightening and bleaching, experiences more significant structural damage when exposed to heat, highlighting key changes in both the internal and surface components of hair fibers.

A specific hair protein variant increases the spread of breast cancer and is linked to worse survival rates.

This study found that keratin intermediate filaments in the hair of patients with giant axonal neuropathy were structurally altered, resulting in hair that was stiffer, stronger, and more extensible.

This study found that Indian and Chinese black hair, with higher melanin content, resist photochemical degradation better than European hair, which has lower melanin levels, when exposed to dry, hot climates.

In this study, deleting the Igf1 receptor in specific skin cells of mice affected hair follicle cycling but not overall skin health, suggesting Igf1r's role in hair cycle regulation through Bmp-4 activation.

This study found that among COVID-19 patients, a higher presence of the G allele in the IFITM3 rs12252 polymorphism correlates with increased inflammatory markers and disease severity, noting higher ESR, CRP, Fibrinogen, LDH, and D-dimer levels in severe cases compared to mild ones.

This course overview discusses educational sessions on hair restoration surgery and FUE techniques and reports no new research findings.

Finasteride significantly reduced tics and obsessive-compulsive symptoms in Tourette syndrome patients.

This study reports a case of frontal fibrosing alopecia associated with hepatitis C treatment involving interferon and ribavirin.

This study reported that a novel ionic liquid delivery system combining ferulic acid and finasteride enhanced the solubility, skin permeation, and effectiveness in promoting hair regrowth in androgenetic alopecia mice, suggesting an improved topical treatment approach.

This source discusses that while oral JAK inhibitors are used for treating lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia, they carry significant risk of adverse events; two cases showed promising results using tofacitinib cream as a safer topical alternative.

In this study, intralesional triamcinolone acetonide injections were associated with halting the progression of frontal fibrosing alopecia in female patients and showed minimal adverse effects, but the efficacy as sole therapy remains unclear pending further trials.

This research discusses Fahr syndrome, highlighting its association with abnormal brain calcifications and varied clinical symptoms in young to middle-aged adults. Diagnosis involves specific criteria and CT scans, but no specific treatment exists; therapy focuses on managing symptoms and underlying conditions.

This program description outlines the Fellowship Training Program's goal of developing Fellows' skills in performing safe and aesthetically sound hair restoration surgery, reporting no new research findings.

This case report describes a 39-year-old woman whose dermatomyositis-systemic lupus erythematosus overlap syndrome symptoms resolved after switching to tofacitinib.

The InCISE score is a promising tool for assessing wound healing in head and neck surgery but needs more research for broader use.

This study reports a significant reduction in hair loss and other androgen-related signs in hyperandrogenism patients using inositol supplementation, although further research is needed to confirm these findings.

This case report highlights an atypical presentation of favus in an immunocompetent adult, where a psoriasiform plaque over the 'bindi' area was successfully treated with systemic itraconazole, achieving complete resolution without relapse. Simple stains proved essential for diagnosis in this resource-limited setting.

In this case report, a 42-year-old woman with cutaneous dermatomyositis showed significant improvement, including reduction of erythema, pruritus, and scaling, after starting JAK inhibitor tofacitinib, especially when conventional systemic treatments failed and intravenous immune globulin wasn't viable.

This article evaluates sexual function using the International Index of Erectile Function in people taking finasteride for androgenetic alopecia but does not present new findings.

This conference abstract outlines topics discussed at the International Conference of the Islamic Medical Association of North America and reports no new results.
