This case report discusses a 15-year-old boy with pachyonychia congenita, identifying a keratin 17 gene mutation, and highlights the need for a national registry and more accessible genetic testing in India.

This article discusses a journal-based CME activity on rare viral skin eruptions in pediatric transplant patients and reports no new clinical results; it aims to improve physicians' knowledge and treatment of this condition.

This study investigates calcium and phosphorus accumulations in the hair of mummies from the Taklamakan desert and debates their exogenous or endogenous origin.

This case report describes the first confirmed instance of trichodysplasia spinulosa in a child with Down syndrome and leukemia, linking it to the TS-associated polyomavirus.

This study provides the first direct evidence that spermidine can stimulate hair growth and modulate human epithelial stem cell biology in cultured human hair follicles.

Cathepsin L deficiency causes hair and skin issues in mice.

This study found that human mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles promote the proliferation and migration of hair follicle cells and increase hair shaft elongation in cultured human hair follicles.

In this study, researchers found that the KLHL24-ΔN28 protein variant disrupts hair follicle stem cells in a mouse model, leading to premature hair loss by degrading keratin 15.

The authors concluded that steatocystoma multiplex is a rare dermatological condition with poor treatment outcomes, emphasizing the importance of early recognition and psychological support for affected individuals.

In this study conducted at a tertiary dermatological clinic, researchers identified and described the clinical, dermoscopic, and histopathological features of preclinical folliculitis keloidalis, including novel dermoscopic findings such as perifollicular scale, which was associated with fibrosis.

This review examines the mechanisms behind pathological scarring like hypertrophic scars and keloids, highlights the limitations of current treatments, and suggests that biomaterial-enabled delivery of anti-fibrotic statins, such as atorvastatin, may offer a promising therapeutic avenue for managing these scars.

This study found that Grateloupia angusta extract improved wound healing by promoting matrix production and pro-angiogenic activity in cell cultures and enhanced early wound repair in a mouse skin incision model.

This study found that extracellular vesicles from erythrocytes may promote hair regeneration in patients with androgenic alopecia by transferring components that upregulate Wnt/β-catenin signaling and are involved in the formation of the skin's outer barrier.

This study found that molecular differences in paracrine factors between balding and non-balding hair follicles may enhance understanding of androgen action in hair disorders and potentially inform better treatments.

This source reports that a study by Liu et al. analyzed genetic factors influencing adalimumab response in hidradenitis suppurativa, finding a specific genetic variant (SNP rs59532114) associated with an inadequate response to the treatment due to increased abscess and inflammatory nodule counts.

This case report describes a rare instance of multiple sebaceous cysts over the scrotum in a 22-year-old man, highlighting the effectiveness of ultrasound imaging for diagnosis and the need for surgical intervention in severe cases.

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder causing hair loss, linked to specific hair follicle antigens and genetic factors.

This study identified a mutation in the keratin 71 gene that causes curly hair in certain rats, advancing our understanding of hair formation.

This study found that acne inversa is primarily an epithelial-driven disease, with cyst-forming tendrils causing inflammation due to rupture and the release of debris, highlighting limitations of punch biopsies for analysis.

This study aims to develop and evaluate herbal shampoo powder made from natural ingredients, focusing on its efficacy in removing debris and dandruff, enhancing hair development and shine, and strengthening and darkening hair. Results are not reported.

Terbinafine is more effective than itraconazole for toenail fungus, especially in older patients, and debridement improves its effectiveness.

In this proteomic analysis, the researchers found that transitioning from crimped to straight wool in Tan sheep is linked to significant changes in wool protein expression, revealing distinct patterns of keratins and keratin-associated proteins that could influence wool quality and economic value.

This study found that the finer fibers of Alpas cashmere, compared to ordinary cashmere, are associated with the down-regulation of specific keratins and keratin-associated proteins, suggesting a molecular target for breeding cashmere goats with improved fiber quality.

In this study on Angora rabbits, researchers identified genetic factors influencing wool fiber diameter by analyzing hair follicle proteins, highlighting keratin family members and other proteins as key contributors to fiber differences between coarse and fine wool.

This historical review discusses the ancient Egyptians' advanced wound-healing techniques, including the use of honey and moldy bread, and reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the unique characteristics and possible pathophysiology of spiny keratoderma, reporting no new clinical results, but suggests that some therapies might alleviate symptoms.

This study examines the role of T. verrucosum in bovine dermatitis, revealing various pathological skin changes such as hyperkeratosis, necrotic hair follicles, and severe neutrophil aggregation in cows from Diyala Governorate.

This case report documents the first known occurrence of an epidermoid cyst in the mammary gland of a 12-year-old female dog. The study emphasizes its benign nature but notes the potential for misdiagnosis and importance for pathologists to consider it during examinations.

This study observed that vitamin D receptor knockout mice exhibit impaired epidermal differentiation and progressive hair loss, suggesting the importance of the vitamin D receptor in normal skin and hair follicle development.

This study found that small proline-rich proteins modify the biomechanical properties of cornified cell envelopes in rodent forestomachs, potentially affecting the tissue's ability to withstand mechanical stress.
