This study reports that analyzing the clinical manifestations of different genetic variants in EBS families helps predict disease progression and severity, guide complication risk assessment, and plan necessary medical care.

This article describes the development and validation of a standardized instrument for measuring skin involvement in cutaneous lupus erythematosus, aiming to aid future clinical research and trials.

This study introduced the KRDQN predictive framework, which outperformed existing methods in predicting adverse drug reactions and provided interpretable insights into drug mechanisms, aiding pharmacovigilance and clinical decision-making.

This study concluded that adding Kanglaite injection to gemcitabine and cisplatin chemotherapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer improved response rates and reduced adverse side effects.

In this study, transgenic mice altered to express a Clim-inhibiting molecule under a keratin promoter showed corneal degradation and hair follicle failure, highlighting Clim proteins' role in maintaining these tissues.

This study found that the Bsk phenotype in mice did not result from a recombination event between specific keratin genes, leaving the gene linked to this mutation unidentified.

This study identifies KLK14 as a significant factor contributing to hair defects and skin inflammation in a mouse model of Netherton syndrome.

This article discusses a case study supporting the reclassification of KID syndrome as an ectodermal dysplasia, introducing a potential treatment combination that may alleviate symptoms in affected patients.

This in-vitro study reported that a luliconazole-based formulation improved hair cuticle integrity and was more effective than ketoconazole in repairing damaged hair after 5 and 10 washes, with sensory analysis supporting these results. Further human studies are needed to confirm its clinical effects.

This review discusses cornea-specific keratin expression patterns in human and mouse development and reports no new experimental results; it highlights the need for investigating keratin mutations' role in pathology.

In this study, female androgenic alopecia (grade II or III on Ludwig's scale) was found to be common among Finnish women aged 63, and several markers of insulin resistance, along with paternal history of alopecia, were associated with an increased risk.

Switching JAK inhibitors or using dupilumab may help some alopecia areata patients who don't respond well to initial treatments.

This study reported that women with alopecia often face high out-of-pocket costs for over-the-counter treatments and camouflaging agents due to insufficient insurance coverage, which can significantly impact their financial well-being and ability to afford basic necessities.

Genetic studies on hair traits can improve understanding of health and disease.

In this study, researchers evaluated hair follicle transplantation techniques and reported that challenges such as limited follicle supply and low follicle survival rates often limit patient satisfaction, but advances in regenerative medicine may offer promising new solutions.

In this study, a retrospective analysis at Erasmus University Medical Center found that methotrexate and cyclosporine A may be most effective for lichen planopilaris and cyclosporine A and retinoids for frontal fibrosing alopecia, although side effects were a concern.

This study suggests that curl pattern classification could help improve patient communication and risk stratification in hair loss disorders, but its clinical utility in dermatology needs further validation.

This study reported that alopecia in giant pandas may be linked to abnormal expression of several hair-related genes and pathways, providing insight for potential prevention and treatment strategies.

In this study, researchers determined that poor feed quality and nutritional deficiency, especially low vitamin A levels, were leading causes of impaired reproductive function in nutria, with deficiencies most pronounced during February-March and linked to clinical signs like growth retardation and alopecia.

In this case report, a 41-year-old man with moderate androgenic alopecia showed an increase in hair density and improvements in hair characteristics after using Zimmer aqueous spray containing Zimmer herbal extract powder for 3 months, suggesting its potential as an alternative treatment for hair loss.

This review synthesizes current evidence on alopecia areata, detailing its clinical features, pathogenesis, and treatment options, but does not present new clinical results.

This study demonstrated that a strain of lactic acid bacteria from kimchi, identified as Pediococcus inopinatus, showed antibacterial activity against certain oral pathogens and effectively bleached stained artificial teeth and inhibited biofilm formation, offering potential for addressing teeth discoloration and halitosis.

In this review, the authors reported that past concerns linking spironolactone to an increased risk of breast cancer are unfounded, citing recent studies that confirm no such association, indicating spironolactone's potential as a treatment for alopecia in women without fear of cancer recurrence.

This study found that patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia showed significant alterations in protein expression in forehead corneocytes, suggesting the condition may have systemic implications beyond the scalp.

Keratin patterns in hair follicles help understand hair growth and potential hair and nail disorders.

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.

This report describes a case of epidermolytic hyperkeratosis in a newborn and her mother, both possessing a specific KRT1 gene mutation known to cause this skin disorder.

This study identified biallelic variants in the LSS gene as a possible genetic cause of palmoplantar keratoderma-congenital alopecia syndrome type 2, highlighting the role of cholesterol synthesis in skin cornification.
