This study identified Lgr5 and Lgr6 as receptors expressed by small populations of stem cells in various adult organs, with Lgr5+ve cells forming long-lived organoids in certain mouse models.

This study describes the expression patterns of type I inner root sheath keratin proteins K25–K28 in human hair follicles, highlighting their distinct distribution within different layers.

This case report describes a patient with a severe pruritic rash and hair loss in both axillary regions, with no fluorescence under a Wood's lamp and hair follicle-centred papules observed through dermoscopy.

This study investigated a spontaneous mutation in mice resulting in hair abnormalities and elevated IgE levels, which resembles human Netherton's syndrome and monilethrix.

This study evaluated the 308-nm excimer laser as an adjuvant treatment for frontal fibrosing alopecia and found it may stabilize hairline recession and improve erythema and perifollicular hyperkeratosis, with transient erythema as the only reported adverse effect.

This case report describes the first use of laser capture microdissection to confirm that atypical lymphocytes in a folliculotropic mycosis fungoides case involving the central nervous system were part of the same tumor clone.

PCFCL may have unrecognized subtypes and needs more research.

In this study, a novel heterozygous transition mutation in the KRT86 gene was identified, which may be pathogenic for monilethrix in a Chinese family.

In this case report, a 76-year-old male had an eyelid lesion that mimicked squamous cell carcinoma but was diagnosed as benign inverted follicular keratosis after surgical excision, underscoring the importance of distinguishing between the two for proper management.

This study establishes a robust analytical method using mass spectrometry to comprehensively identify 170 chemical compounds in Xiaoban Kangfu capsules for enhanced quality control.

This study found that the RNA helicase DDX6 is essential for maintaining self-renewal in epidermal progenitor cells by promoting the translation of proliferation regulators and degrading differentiation-inducing mRNAs.

This report presents a rare case of lichen spinulosus in a 52-year-old woman, featuring hyperkeratotic follicular papules and a dense lymphohistiocytic infiltrate in affected skin areas.

This study found that autophagy is impaired in Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome-associated renal tumors and identified that the FLCN protein interacts with key autophagy components regulated by ULK1.

This study found that chemical lumbar sympathectomy with 5% phenol effectively treated idiopathic livedo reticularis in most patients, offering a potential long-lasting solution with repeatable efficacy upon recurrence.

This study explored a mother and daughter with loose anagen hair syndrome linked to wooly hair, identifying an intronic variant in the KRT71 gene that affects hair keratin splicing, thus broadening the spectrum of KRT71-related disorders.

In this study, researchers identified four novel variants in the FGF5 gene associated with the long-haired phenotype in dogs, suggesting additional unexplored genetic factors contribute to this trait beyond the known Lh1-Lh5 alleles.

In this study, researchers found that size polymorphisms in certain hKAP1 genes are linked to the hKAP1.1B and hKAP1.3 genes, arising from intragenic deletions and duplications in Japanese and Caucasian populations.

This article discusses flexural follicular lichen planus and reports no new clinical findings.

This study achieved successful cloning of the ovine keratin associated protein 6-1 gene, which may facilitate future research on transgenic animals and hair follicle gene regulation.

This study found that FGF18 signaling helps protect hair follicles from radiation damage by maintaining the resting phase and supporting stem cell survival, potentially reducing radiation-induced hair loss.

This case report describes a unique presentation of frontal fibrosing alopecia characterized by a hair loss pattern that resembles the Greek letter upsilon, supported by trichoscopic and histological findings.

This study found that the Wnt inhibitor Dkk4 may play a role in regulating hair follicle development through a feedback loop with canonical Wnt signaling pathways.

This study demonstrated that the Thai version of the FDLQI is a valid and reliable tool for assessing the quality of life of family members of patients with dermatological diseases.

This study identified a new genetic variant in the KRT71 gene responsible for a breed-specific form of hypotrichosis in Hereford cattle, potentially serving as a model for similar human conditions.

This study on Sdr16c5/Sdr16c6-null mice found that inactivating these genes significantly increased Meibomian gland secretions and altered lipid profiles but had a subtle impact on sebogenesis, suggesting the genes control a bifurcation point in meibogenesis pathways.

This study found that Hex gene expression patterns in chick embryo dorsal skin during feather bud development suggest a significant role in initiating feather morphogenesis.

In this study, researchers found that inhibiting IKKα in patient-derived CCS tumour models reduces tumour viability, supporting the potential for topical IKKα inhibitors as a treatment for CCS.

This study found that keratin K80, structurally similar to hair keratins, is broadly expressed in various epithelial tissues and is involved in intermediate filament formation with multiple type I partners.

In this study, researchers created a comprehensive transcriptome map of human hair follicle compartments, identifying compartment-specific genes and providing a resource for potential therapeutic interventions.
