This study examined alopecia coding trends using the American Academy of Dermatology's DataDerm registry, aiming to assess the impact of evaluation and management CPT coding updates pre- and post-2021 on reimbursement and visit complexity. Results were not reported in the abstract.

This study found that modulating BMP activity in transgenic mice affects the development and characteristics of several ectodermal organs, such as skin, hair, and claws, highlighting a stage-dependent influence on organogenesis.

This study used quantitative methods to identify new geometric and mechanical parameters of curly and kinky/coily hair, aiming to improve classification and develop better personal care products for these hair types.

In this case report, a 23-year-old woman developed localized trichorrhexis nodosa after compulsively applying 3% minoxidil to her scalp for two months.

In this study, researchers identified Tenascin-C as a marker for touch dome keratinocytes, which maintain themselves and can develop into Merkel cells following injury, showing they share molecular traits with various epidermal keratinocytes.

This report discusses a case of ichthyosis serpentina, suggesting it as a variant of ichthyosis associated with bamboo hair, although atopy may not be a necessary component.

This case report describes an 8-year-old boy with impetigenic scabies on his scalp, which responded well to treatment with topical permethrin, oral antihistamines, and antibiotics.

This study identified the distribution of keratin-associated proteins during cornification in the epidermis of reptiles, revealing unique structural characteristics in sauropsid keratin proteins compared to other vertebrates.

This study concluded that isolated trichotillomania of the eyebrows and eyelashes, identified by specific hair characteristics, may be linked to underlying obsessive-compulsive disorders in affected patients.

In this case report, a 64-year-old Thai woman with a history of misdiagnosed eczema or folliculitis was ultimately found to have granular parakeratosis of the eccrine ostium, leading to significant symptom improvement once accurately diagnosed and advised to avoid excessive heat and moisture.

This study examines the process of medicalization over the past two centuries, particularly focusing on its social and cultural implications, with a critical perspective on practices around sexuality, reproduction, and diagnoses like homosexuality and hysteria, questioning when medical authority may be overstepped.

This case study reports that a 9-year-old Nepalese boy with tinea capitis successfully recovered with systemic antifungal therapy, though experienced focal alopecia without recurrence at a two-year follow-up.

This article proposes criteria to differentiate between medicalization and over-medicalization, examining the consequences and ethical considerations of misidentifying medical issues, and suggests guideline questions to help draw clearer boundaries in medicine.

The current state and future directions of the field that studies the connection between the mind and skin are discussed.

This study found that skin changes in morbidly obese individuals are associated with underlying metabolic disturbances but are not currently valuable as independent tools for assessing metabolic risk or treatment response.

This study found that transgenic mice with keratinocyte-specific overexpression of CtBP1 exhibited abnormal hair follicle development, suggesting CtBP1 may play a pathogenic role in hair morphogenesis.

This study found that 11% of cutaneous focal mucinosis lesions demonstrated follicular induction, which can mimic basal cell carcinoma histologically and complicate diagnosis.

This study examined the expression patterns of various cytokeratins in the outer root sheath of human anagen hair follicles, noting distinct differentiation patterns and localization of keratin markers.

This case report details the first pediatric occurrence of naevus trichilemmocysticus, a newly defined type of organoid naevus.

This study demonstrated a close anatomical relationship between Merkel cells and Langerhans cells in human hair follicles, suggesting potential functional interactions in the bulge area.

This study found that nearly 20% of men surveyed in German-speaking Europe had undergone cosmetic surgery, with higher conformity to traditional masculinity ideologies linked to greater odds of having these procedures, particularly hair transplants.

Early diagnosis of pseudopelade of Brocq in men is crucial to prevent permanent hair loss.

This study using scRNA-seq on 96 skin biopsies from 51 healthy individuals revealed distinct cell signaling pathways in different skin sites, including unique pathways in facial and palmoplantar skin, which may explain their varying susceptibilities to skin disorders.

In this study, researchers identified two types of potassium channels, BK and Kv4.2, in rat Merkel cells and reported that these channels play important roles in repolarizing action potentials and maintaining resting membrane potentials, potentially influencing tactile encoding in these cells.

This study found that horizontal sections of scalp biopsies in patients with Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia often reveal follicular miniaturization, inflammation, and scarring, which can guide personalized treatment.

This study found that trichotillomania was more common in younger people, particularly females, and was characterized by increased catagen hair without perifollicular inflammation.

In this case report, a 74-year-old woman initially diagnosed with androgenetic alopecia was later found to have secondary alopecia neoplastica due to morpheaform basal cell carcinoma of the scalp, illustrating the importance of recognizing subtle clinical features to prevent delayed treatment and potential local destruction.

A rare genetic deletion in the KRT1 gene causes unique skin symptoms in a family.

This study identified a novel skin site called the follicular epidermis that is prone to cancer, with unique Axin2+ stem cells regulating its homeostasis. The findings suggest current therapeutic approaches may need reconsideration due to new insights into obstruction mechanisms at this site.
