This letter to the editor shares concerns about possible systemic effects from topical dinitrochlorobenzene therapy in a 25-year-old man treating alopecia areata.

This study found that three treatments with the 810-nm diode laser improved skin texture and roughness/bumpiness in keratosis pilaris patients, although it did not reduce redness.

A single medium, PRIME AIRLIFT, supports better human hair follicle formation in grafts.

This article discusses the potential of trichoscopy in diagnosing and treating dissecting cellulitis of the scalp and emphasizes the need for early diagnosis to prevent progression but reports no new clinical results.

This study observed that the OCIAD2 and DCN genes in Liaoning cashmere goats have opposite effects on hair growth by interacting with the TGF-β signaling pathway, influencing follicle morphogenesis and periodic changes.

This study found that inhibiting class I histone deacetylases in postnatal mouse dermal cells preserved their ability to induce hair follicles during culture by increasing specific gene expressions and activating the Wnt signaling pathway.

This study found that aPKCλ, but not aPKCζ, plays a critical role in maintaining hair follicle stem cell populations and promoting wound healing in the epidermis.

This case report highlights a family member with a confirmed diagnosis of hypotrichosis with juvenile macular dystrophy due to a CDH3 gene mutation, emphasizing the importance of genetic testing for accurate counseling.

This study found that overexpression of PKCepsilon in mouse epidermis was associated with increased susceptibility to metastatic squamous cell carcinoma, potentially through a mechanism involving tumor necrosis factor-alpha.

KRTAP10 proteins help form the hair shaft's tough outer layer by interacting with specific hair keratins.

In this study, researchers identified Tenascin-C as a marker for touch dome keratinocytes, which maintain themselves and can develop into Merkel cells following injury, showing they share molecular traits with various epidermal keratinocytes.

This study on Indian dromedary camel breeds investigated the KRTAP7 protein, finding all four breeds shared an identical gene sequence, with 13 phosphorylation and glycosylation sites influencing hair characteristics, alongside predicted interactions with other biosynthesis-related proteins.

This study reviewed the current state of intralesional therapy for keratoacanthoma, finding that while methotrexate, 5-fluorouracil, and interferon alpha are common agents, guidelines are still needed, and histopathological confirmation is advised to prevent misdiagnosis with squamous cell carcinoma.

This study observed that diabetic ketoacidosis is common among type-1 diabetics, particularly with initial disease presentation or treatment discontinuation, and is more frequent in females and those with less educated or related parents.

This study identified a new keratin, K6irs, as a potential histological marker for the inner root sheath of hair follicles in mice and humans, and as a candidate gene for hereditary hair defects.

This study suggests that platelet-rich plasma's high levels of growth factors may be limited in promoting bone regeneration due to the concurrent release of Dickkopf-1, which inhibits osteogenesis.

This study found that inhibiting the ATR kinase with VE-822 impairs DNA repair capability in quiescent human keratinocytes exposed to solar-simulated UV radiation, suggesting ATR's critical role in facilitating effective DNA damage repair and cellular recovery under UV stress conditions.

This study found that after topical application in rats, 1,24-dihydroxyvitamin D3 absorbed through both the stratum corneum and hair follicles, with about 30% excreted via the faeces.

In this study, researchers observed that Vdr-knockout mice experience hair cycle arrest during the catagen stage, leading to alopecia, with persistent epithelial strands forming in the hair follicles, indicating Vitamin D receptor's role in regulating hair follicle regression and regeneration.

This study suggests that impaired VDR signaling in mice leads to dysregulated Ddit4 expression, impacting hair cycle progression and wound healing.

In this case report, a 48-year-old woman with refractory discoid lupus erythematosus showed significant improvement, including hair regrowth, after treatment with deucravacitinib, suggesting its potential as an effective therapy for this condition.

This study suggests that Foxn1 acts as a brake on PKC signaling in keratinocytes, thereby modulating the stages of differentiation by controlling PKC activity.

This case report further supports the association of keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans with acne keloidalis nuchae and tufted hair folliculitis.

This report describes a new case of syndromic ichthyosis caused by compound heterozygous mutations in AP1B1, detailing the associated clinical features and molecular consequences in the patient.

This article honors Damkerng Pathomvanich, MD, for his contributions to donor area harvesting, Asian hair, and advancing hair restoration in Thailand and reports no new research findings.

ZPK helps skin cells mature and may affect skin health.

This study found that the novel dermal cooling system was an effective and safe treatment for reducing pigmentation in benign pigmented lesions in Asian patients, with minimal side effects.

In this study, the authors reported that while deoxycholic acid effectively reduces submental fat, it can cause adverse effects such as edema, numbness, and skin necrosis, making knowledge of possible complications essential for clinicians.
