This journal overview describes the comprehensive focus of the Dermatologic Surgery publication on various skin surgery topics and reports no specific research findings.

This study observed that among !Kung San males, adult androgen levels, particularly DHT, were negatively associated with indicators of fluctuating and directional asymmetry, suggesting a link to phenotype quality.

In this case report, a 13-year-old girl with Pitt-Hopkins syndrome developed hair curling after starting the antiepileptic drug perampanel, which had not been previously reported as a side effect.

This article reviews the issue of hair-thread tourniquets in infants, emphasizing the importance of awareness for timely diagnosis and suggesting prevention strategies, but reports no new clinical results.

This paper highlights that traction alopecia is common among certain ethnic groups and occupations due to tight hairstyling practices, but early-stage hair loss can often be reversed with treatment and by avoiding these styling habits, as observed in Hispanic and Black women.

This study found that a mutation in the seventh exon of the KRT86 gene plays a major role in the pathogenesis of monilethrix in a Chinese family.

This study found that BBS7 downregulation in occlusal hypofunctional periodontal ligament tissue is associated with reduced Sonic hedgehog signaling activity, potentially playing a key role in maintaining PDL homeostasis.

This study suggests that the interaction between folliculin and plakophilin-4 (p0071) may play a role in folliculin's tumor suppressor function by regulating RhoA signaling, impacting cell migration and junction formation.

This study examined the genetic basis for the curly hair trait in Mangalitza pigs, finding two specific genetic variants that contribute to this distinctive phenotype through autosomal dominant inheritance.

This case report describes a newly identified condition called loose anagen hair of childhood, characterized by easily pluckable hair in two young boys, with variable duration and no scalp inflammation or scarring.

This study used molecular docking to analyze nine compounds from the Siddha herbal formulation Kushtakudori ennai, finding that they may effectively interact with androgen receptors to hinder hair follicle shrinkage and potentially reduce hair loss, showing potential as anti-alopecia treatments.

This study found that systemic treatment with DS77754007, a KLK5 inhibitor, improved skin symptoms in a mouse model of Netherton Syndrome more effectively than certain antibody treatments, suggesting KLK5 inhibition as a promising therapeutic approach for this condition.

This study found that the creation of hair follicle lumens in mice is driven by the outward migration of keratin 79-positive cells, suggesting a novel mechanism for generating hollow cores in hair follicles.

This study describes a traditional Slovac hairstyle in Northeastern Yugoslavia that may contribute to a mild form of alopecia in middle-aged and older women.

This study investigated the dynamic mechanical properties of fluid-immersed elastic hair beds under oscillatory shear flows, revealing a nonlinear response influenced by driving frequency and amplitude, which impacts mechanosensory signaling stability in biological processes like vasodilation and ciliary remodeling.

In this study, researchers found that the shape of polygonal domains, such as squares and triangles, significantly impacts Turing pattern formation, with domain geometry affecting the stability and type of bifurcations observed in simulations.

The conclusion is that "trichoknesis" should be recognized as a separate condition from trichodynia, characterized by itching instead of pain.

This study observed that processing techniques such as degreasing, bating, and tanning influence mink skin by altering the distribution of fat glands and collagen fibers, potentially impacting hair follicle structure and mink product quality.

This research observed that the skeletal abnormalities in Noggin null mice varied based on genetic background, and identified haploinsufficiency leading to joint fusions, similar to human conditions associated with NOGGIN deficiency.

This study found that keratin damage in mammals and birds can result from N-homocysteinylation, reducing keratin solubility and indicating significant protein modification through genetic or nutritional disruptions in homocysteine metabolism.

This study found that bikunin is expressed in human keratinocytes and may play a role in regulating keratinocyte function during mitosis or inflammation.

This study found that a newly identified gene, mK17n, may explain the lack of nail issues in mK17 null mice by compensating for mK17's function in the nail bed.

This abstract provides contact information for François Kuonen at the Lausanne University Hospital Center and reports no new research findings.

Hair straightening methods have advanced to improve effectiveness and reduce damage, but still rely on heat and chemicals.

This study confirms that the proposed universal model for hard α-keratin structure applies to all known forms across various mammalian species.

This study found that the fuzzy mutation in mice is linked to both structural hair defects and accelerated hair follicle cycling, influencing the regulation of hair cycle phases such as catagen and anagen.
