The debate focuses on the role of catagen and hair shedding mechanisms in telogen effluvium.

This study found that NKB placental mRNA expression was higher in women with PCOS, particularly in pregnancies with female offspring, suggesting its involvement in PCOS-related placental dysfunction.

Keratosis Pilaris Atrophicans causes skin scarring and might be treated with a new synthetic retinoid.

This review discusses the state-of-the-art knowledge on pseudoxanthoma elasticum, summarizing recent advancements in genetics, pathomechanisms, and potential treatments but reports no new clinical findings.

In this report, researchers describe a 13-month-old with neurodevelopmental disorder NEDESBA, confirming a TRAPPC4 gene mutation as the cause after excluding biotinidase deficiency, highlighting the importance of molecular testing for accurate diagnosis in overlapping metabolic and genetic conditions.

This report describes a unique benign neoplasm on the nail unit called onychoblastoma, which histologically resembles a trichoblastoma, marking the first documented case of this tumor type.

This case report describes a 65-year-old man diagnosed with a trichofolliculoma, a benign tumor originating from hair follicles, which appeared as a persistent pore on his cheek.

This report presents a case where multiple steatocystomas appeared in a psoriatic patient during ustekinumab treatment, suggesting the drug may unmask a genetic predisposition to steatocystoma multiplex.

This review covers various disorders of cornification and their treatments, offering clinical insights but reporting no new research findings.

This article describes a rare case of chronic telogen effluvium in a man, suggesting that the condition might be more noticeable in individuals with long hair; it does not report new research findings.

This article examines the emergence of predictive analytics with big data and concludes that Foucault's concept of biopower is now a hybrid involving various technologies to monitor and model behavior and risk.

This case study in an 8-month-old mixed-breed dog with symptoms and histopathological findings supports a diagnosis of hereditary junctional epidermolysis bullosa, although specific genetic mutations weren't identified.

This study observed that men who conform more strongly to traditional masculinity norms are likelier to undergo cosmetic surgery as a way to assert power, success, dominance, and sexual success.

In this case study, a 62-year-old male with a history of uncontrolled diabetes and chronic kidney disease was diagnosed with perforating folliculitis after presenting with dark, raised, pruritic lesions on his limbs, confirmed by histopathological examination showing collagen extruding into hair follicles.

This abstract suggests that specific trichoscopic features like black dots, coiled hair, and trichoptilosis may help differentiate trichotillomania from patchy alopecia areata.

This report presents the first known case of a proliferating hybrid cyst containing both epidermoid and trichilemmal components on the scrotum of a 44-year-old man.

This article discusses a historical case of a rare skin disorder involving alopecia and follicular plugs reported in 1907; it presents no new findings.

This study identified novel genetic variants related to rare skin and hair disorders, expanding the understanding of conditions like COLED, EV, and monilethrix, including a newly discovered type I keratin gene, KRT31, as a cause for monilethrix.

This study investigates calcium and phosphorus accumulations in the hair of mummies from the Taklamakan desert and debates their exogenous or endogenous origin.

Fibroblast bioelectric signaling can promote hair growth and may help treat hair loss.

This report describes the sonographic characteristics of a proliferating trichilemmal tumor in the subungual region, identifying it as a heterogeneous mass with echogenic foci, potentially representing keratin and cholesterol.

This study developed protocols to create skin organoids with hair follicles and other appendages from human induced pluripotent stem cells, representing a significant step towards understanding hair follicle development and potential applications in modeling skin diseases and reconstructive surgeries.

This study introduces the multiple papillary centres model, offering a new explanation for hair twisting by combining known hair morphology features with differential growth rates caused by dermal papillae.

This study found that standard decontamination procedures may not fully remove external contamination in post mortem hair specimens, complicating the interpretation of drug detection in such samples.

This study observed that prolonged water or soil exposure can lead to significant reductions in drug levels in bleached and natural hair samples.

This case study describes a 70-year-old woman with a congenital skin condition, nevus sebaceus, who underwent hair transplantation which maintained hair growth for about 40 years; however, secondary tumors developed over time, highlighting the persistence of tumorigenic potential within nevus sebaceus.

This study explores hypertrichosis, a condition of excessive hair growth, highlighting its classification, diagnostic methods, and potential treatments. The authors emphasize the importance of individualized approaches and further genetic research to enhance treatment options for this primarily cosmetic issue that can signal systemic diseases.

This study systematically characterized the nanomechanical properties of human hair, such as hardness and elastic modulus, across different ethnicities and treatment conditions using nanoindentation and scanning electron microscopy.

This study found that, in Japanese patients with androgenic alopecia, sebaceous glands exhibit increased multilobulation which may be significant in the condition's pathology.

In this study, the researchers observed that inducing and then withdrawing β-catenin expression in a bigenic mouse model caused reversible changes in skin morphology, indicating dependence on β-catenin signaling.
