This study investigated a spontaneous mutation in mice resulting in hair abnormalities and elevated IgE levels, which resembles human Netherton's syndrome and monilethrix.

This study found that HMGB1 enhanced hair growth by stimulating PGE2 production in human dermal papilla cells, suggesting a potential therapeutic target for alopecia treatment.

This review examines various methods for assessing hair growth in women, highlighting the usefulness of the mFG visual scoring method for diagnosing hirsutism despite its limitations.

This study identified two novel mutations in the CDH3 gene causing HJMD in a Chinese patient, expanding the genetic and phenotypic understanding of the disorder.

This study observed significantly higher hair cortisol concentrations in foals compared to mares, with a strong positive correlation between the two, suggesting that hair cortisol can reflect maternal and fetal cortisol exposure during the last trimester of gestation in horses.

This study identified molecular elements controlling the expression and stabilization of THH protein in hair follicle cells, revealing key mechanisms that support hair shaft development in mice.

In this study, the researchers observed that higher expression of the Sonic hedgehog gene in cashmere goats' hair follicle cycles is associated with increased cell proliferation and reduced apoptosis, suggesting its role in enhancing cashmere quality.

This study suggests that women with idiopathic hirsutism have increased 5α-reductase activity, indicated by elevated levels of 3α-diol glucuronide; further research is needed to assess its clinical biomarker potential.

This study found that visual hair density is better correlated with hair count and shaft diameter, leading to the development of the Hair Diameter Index used in planning hair restoration procedures.

This study reports the cloning and sequencing of two type II hair-specific keratin genes, ghHb1 and ghHb6, located on chromosome 12q13, which are expressed during hair growth.

In this study, researchers found that while chest hair can be a reliable alternative to scalp hair for ethylglucuronide testing, seasonal factors may affect concentration levels and should be considered in result interpretation.

This study found that the Hair660™ low-level light therapy device significantly improved hair density and was safe for men with androgenetic alopecia over 24 weeks.

This report introduces a new potential sign, paired ear creases of the helix, which may have relevance to cardiovascular disease similar to diagonal ear lobe creases, in a case of coronary artery disease.

This study suggests that the methylation degree of HOXC8 exon 1 in the hair follicle may influence cashmere fiber growth in Liaoning cashmere goats.

This study found that intense pulse light and diode laser treatments were similarly effective and tolerable for reducing unwanted facial hair in female patients with hirsutism, with no significant differences in hair reduction, adverse effects, or patient satisfaction between the two methods.

This paper reviews adverse events related to hedgehog pathway inhibitors in advanced basal cell carcinoma patients, reporting no new clinical results but aiming to inform healthcare professionals for improved patient care.

A cosmetic procedure can lower the hairline by up to 10 cm, with high satisfaction but potential for temporary sensation loss and rare risks.

Balding men have harder scalps.

This study found that activating the hexosamine pathway increased hyaluronic acid secretion and hair follicle stem cell numbers in vitro, suggesting its role in modulating skin homeostasis.

This study shows that measuring 17-hydroxyprogesterone concentrations in scalp hair may be a useful noninvasive tool for monitoring treatment in adults with congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

This review highlights that while sonidegib and vismodegib offer promising treatment options for advanced basal cell carcinoma, their use is often limited by treatment-emergent adverse events, which can be managed through protocol modifications and supportive interventions.

In this study, hirsute women with normal or medically normalized testosterone levels experienced similar, though declining, hair reduction from both intense pulsed light and long-pulsed diode laser treatments over six months.

This study found that children with pituitary dwarfism had higher zinc and copper hair concentrations and lower manganese concentrations compared to healthy children.

This study found that heparanase is primarily located in the inner root sheath of human hair follicles during the anagen phase, and inhibiting it in cultured hair follicles induces a catagen-like process.

In this study, Thai scalp hair exhibited some age and sex variations in hair area, which may aid forensic and anthropological investigations.

In this study, elevated mRNA levels for serine-rich ultra high sulfur proteins were observed during active hair growth phases in mice, particularly in the forming hair structures and upper skin layers.

This study found that genes encoding mouse high-glycine/tyrosine proteins show distinct spatial and temporal expression patterns in hair follicles, suggesting diverse protein distribution during hair growth cycles.

In this study, researchers observed a curvilinear relationship between loneliness and hair cortisol concentration among older adults at elevated cardiovascular risk, with cortisol levels higher at low-to-moderate loneliness and lower at higher loneliness, though results were sensitive to some data exclusions.

This study suggests that the harlequin ichthyosis mouse model closely resembles human type 2 harlequin ichthyosis, indicating its potential as a useful model for studying the human condition.

This study found that concentrations of haloperidol and its metabolite in human scalp hair significantly correlated with the daily dose and plasma trough levels in patients taking haloperidol.
