In this study, researchers found that the cornification process in the nuptial pads of Xenopus frogs involves the expression of the type II hair keratin homolog, krt59, and is regulated by the transcription factor hoxc13, showing similarities to mammalian hair evolution.

This study found that micro-CT imaging can effectively identify vascular structures in rat models of congenital hypospadias, providing anatomical insights for selecting preputial vessel flaps in surgical procedures.

A man with Klinefelter syndrome had a leg ulcer that didn't heal well, even with treatment.

This review outlines the diagnostic criteria for congenital and hereditary hair shaft abnormalities and emphasizes the need to understand the weathering process in assessing these disorders.

This letter to the editor raises concerns about the possibility of cornrowing leading to dermatologic problems such as traction alopecia, paralleling issues seen with other cosmetic fads.

This case report describes a rare instance of double-lined frontoparietal scleroderma en coup de sabre and suggests a genetic basis involving postzygotic mosaicism.

This review discusses the genetic basis of woolly hair syndrome and its potential link to heart disorders, highlighting recent discoveries of new molecular pathways and suggesting possible future treatment options.

This study found that incorporating keratin extracted from hair into NBR modestly enhanced the mechanical properties and biodegradability of the rubber.

The researchers reported that DHT-inducible DKK-1 may play a significant role in DHT-driven balding by inhibiting hair follicle cell growth and promoting apoptosis in androgenetic alopecia.

This article reviews genetic mutations linked to monilethrix, a hereditary hair disorder, and reports no new clinical findings on the condition's variability in symptoms and severity.

This study concluded that the KNPs@M/G microneedle system offers a promising strategy for treating radiation-induced skin injury by promoting antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, and regenerative effects.

Loose anagen hair syndrome causes easily shed hair but usually improves with time.

This study provides insight into the specific disulfide bond interactions between keratins and keratin associated proteins, suggesting non-random cysteine interactions crucial for stabilizing hair fiber structure.

This study found that bioinspired conductive dressings with aligned wrinkles can monitor joint motion and significantly accelerate wound healing in mice by promoting collagen deposition, hair follicle regeneration, and epithelialization.

This study found that deleting the Twist1 gene in skin keratinocytes significantly reduced UVB-induced skin cancer and hyperproliferation in mice and suggested Twist1 as a target for skin cancer prevention.

This study investigated the mechanical response of the human hair cuticle to strain and found that cuticular deformation directly corresponded with fiber elongation, revealing significant molecular-level changes in disulfide crosslinks but maintained structural stability, highlighting the role of the cuticle in stress resistance.

This study found that finasteride may decrease and control the frequency of priapism episodes in patients with sickle cell anemia, with fewer side effects compared to other treatments.

This study isolated and sequenced the complete gene rKAP4L1, which encodes a cysteine-rich hair keratin-associated protein in rabbit hair follicles.

Measuring the variety in hair thickness can help diagnose male pattern baldness in Korean men.

Wearing a wig caused a woman's skin condition to worsen due to pressure from the wig's fasteners.

This article discusses research about Netherton syndrome, highlighting its contributions to understanding epidermal structure, immune responses, and processes like atopic dermatitis, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This case report describes Rumpel-Leede phenomenon in a patient without underlying conditions, occurring after pneumatic compression for venous thromboembolism prophylaxis, with spontaneous resolution upon stopping compression.

This study found that pretreatment with KP-Cryst fusion proteins effectively protected Asian and Caucasian virgin hair from thermal damage by maintaining higher water content and preventing structural changes during heat application.

This study identified a new type II cytokeratin, named K6hf, exclusively expressed in the companion layer of the human hair follicle, distinguishing it from other keratins and suggesting a unique biochemical role.

This case report describes a 2-year-old girl with loose anagen syndrome type B, confirmed by painless trichoscopic examination, with no signs in her identical twin sister.

This study found that chemically modifying hair with 2-iminothiorane hydrochloride improved the permanence of hair setting without damaging the hair by increasing disulfide bonds.

In this study, researchers created a mouse model using CRISPR/Cas9 technology to investigate hypotrichosis simplex and woolly hair, finding that Krt71-knockout mice exhibited curly hair and developed complete hair shedding without immune deficiencies, mimicking conditions seen in humans and potentially aiding future hair disorder research.

In this study, water-soluble recombinant keratins, specifically RK81, were developed and used in microneedles to investigate their effect on hair growth, discovering that more than 40% of the hair follicles responded, demonstrating the potential for hair growth promotion.
