In this study, the researchers identified a variant in the CCHCR1 gene associated with an alopecia areata subtype characterized by impaired keratinization and autoimmune events.

This study found that resolving acne capsules may suppress acne keratosis and regulate hormone levels in a rabbit ear acne model, showing potential anti-acne effects.

Treating psoriasis with UVB light three times a week is faster than twice a week, and certain medications and lifestyle factors affect psoriasis treatment outcomes.

TCDD changes skin gene expression and may harm skin health.

Hair growth is cyclic and influenced mainly by local factors.

This study found that transcriptome profiling of cashmere goat skin revealed key genes and pathways involved in hair follicle initiation, differentiation, and maturation, which are critical for improving fleece production.

This study explored gene expression in Changthangi goats and found that higher expression of keratin-related genes and specific signaling pathways may play a role in the development of Pashmina fiber.

This study observed that amino acid uptake into wool follicles varies significantly, with cysteine showing the highest uptake rate, suggesting specialized transport systems that may influence wool growth.

A woman had 13 non-cancerous cysts on her scalp successfully removed in one surgery.

The authors concluded that thymoma-associated paraneoplastic syndrome in cats may manifest as noninflammatory alopecia instead of exfoliative dermatitis, and should be considered when diagnosing multifocal noninflammatory alopecia.

This study describes three adult dogs with sebaceous gland dysplasia, reporting that two showed moderate to marked improvement in symptoms with treatment, though ongoing management is required as the condition cannot be cured.

The study concluded that all parts of the normal human Meibomian gland ductal system show signs of early keratinisation, supporting the idea that these glands are akin to "hair follicles without a hair shaft.

This study explored proteomics to investigate protein changes during protein synthesis and keratinization in maturing wool fiber, but the relationship to fibre development remains largely unknown.

This biographical abstract highlights George Rogers' pioneering contributions to the understanding of keratin molecular structure and keratinisation biochemistry, including the application of electron microscopy to hair ultrastructure and the discovery of enzymes and gene transcription processes relevant to keratin proteins.

Cortisone may help hair regrow by altering the local environment, with regrowth starting 3-4 weeks after treatment, but its use is not widely recommended.

This review discusses recent advances in understanding acne pathobiology, highlighting the potential for developing new customized therapies, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study observed that the expression of certain keratins during human epidermal development marks the tissue's commitment to stratification and keratinization processes.

This article provides a comprehensive review of ichthyoses, including their classification, biochemistry, associated syndromes, and therapeutic approaches, but reports no new clinical findings.

This review examines the histochemistry and keratinization processes of human hair, exploring the structural roles of keratin proteins, protein chains, and lipids, but offers no new results.

This study found that oral isotretinoin achieved good to excellent clinical results in treating severe inflammatory acne, severe rosacea, and gram-negative folliculitis.

This study found that Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis mites can cause eyelid follicular and glandular changes, potentially contributing to ocular disease in humans.

This study reports the cloning and expression details of two new human type II keratins, K6irs3 and K6irs4, in the hair follicle's inner root sheath, suggesting a distinct functional role related to hair structure.

This review explores the role of Foxn1 in mammalian skin biology, discussing its influence on hair follicle function and the potential for further research to enhance understanding of epithelial differentiation.

This introduction highlights the impact of acne vulgaris on quality of life and the complexity of selecting effective treatments, but it presents no new clinical results.

This study describes five patients with porokeratotic adnexal ostial nevus, a rare skin disorder, highlighting its clinical features and proposing a new encompassing term for related conditions.

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 study found that vitamin A dissolved in alcohol penetrates skin quickly and does not impair hair growth, even in large doses, but it does not retard keratinization unlike when dissolved in fatty acids.

This study provides evidence for K1 and K10 derivatives' presence in the inner root sheath and hair cuticle, suggesting that these hair follicle parts may follow familiar keratinization principles.
