This study revealed the complex three-dimensional innervation of touch domes in cat forepaw skin, highlighting the extensive branching and unmyelinated endings associated with Merkel cell–axon complexes.

This case report describes a patient with pseudopelade affecting both the scalp and beard area, highlighting the unusual presentation of a rare hair disorder.

This study concluded that the process of mummification disfigures facial features, making identification challenging, but commercial shrunken heads retain more defining features compared to ceremonial ones.

This study observed that northern elephant seals with skin disease had elevated pollutants like PCBs in their bodies, suggesting a potential link to the condition's unknown etiology.

This case report suggests that Demodex infection should be considered in patients with facial scaling and itching, as observed in a 36-year-old woman in Tabriz testing positive for the mites.

This report describes a case of Rothmund-Thomson type congenital poikiloderma, noting minor skin changes, hair loss, and slightly elevated lysine and cystine in the urine.

This article discusses the rise of direct-to-consumer teledermatology platforms, warning that they might cause overdiagnosis, overtreatment, and fragmented healthcare, and emphasizes the need for patient counseling about these risks and benefits.

This paper highlights trichodynia as a distinguishing symptom of telogen effluvium, but it does not present new clinical findings.

This case report describes an uncommon occurrence of trichofolliculoma in a 64-year-old male, which was easily treated through simple excision.

This article highlights that a low suspicion for tinea capitis in adults with scaling and hair loss may delay diagnosis and treatment, urging confirmation through KOH, fungal culture, or biopsy.

This study used single-cell transcriptomic analysis to identify a specific cell population in acne patients' non-lesional skin, providing evidence for the comedone switch hypothesis by suggesting a shift towards infundibular differentiation at the expense of sebaceous gland maintenance.

This report highlights four cases where squamous cell carcinoma was misdiagnosed in individuals with darker skin, emphasizing the challenges in accurate diagnosis for this population.

In this study, researchers identified a novel KRT74 gene mutation associated with autosomal recessive pure hair and nail ectodermal dysplasia in a Pakistani family, expanding the known genetic causes of the disorder.

This study reported cases of post-COVID-19 telogen effluvium in patients who also exhibited distinctive red band changes in their nails.

In this study, telogen effluvium is characterized as a common condition in women involving sudden hair shedding due to hair follicles prematurely entering the telogen phase, with potential triggers including fever, childbirth, and stress.

This article discusses a dermatologist's claim that baldness qualifies as a disease under WHO standards and suggests it may be treatable with finasteride, though this view is debated among experts.

Keratin 17 is important for hair and nail structure and affects pachyonychia congenita symptoms.

Hair loss in Cronkhite-Canada syndrome may be due to an autoimmune response.

This study identified a novel KRT86 mutation associated with autosomal dominant monilethrix, expanding understanding of its genetic basis beyond known motifs.

This correspondence questions the assertion in a 1961 article that lichen sclerosus et atrophicus does not lead to carcinoma, citing a case contrary to the author's claim.

This article is a letter to the editor discussing a case of extensive cicatricial alopecia in a patient with long-term trichotillomania and reports no new research findings.

In this literature review, researchers highlighted that trichotillomania involves dysregulated reward circuits, abnormal sensory processing, and potential genetic factors, advancing both therapeutic strategies and understanding of the condition, but stigma and provider training gaps persist in effective care provision.

This review discusses how neuroendocrine pathways influence keratin regulation in human skin and hair follicles and suggests these pathways as potential targets for new treatments of skin disorders, but reports no clinical results.

This study found that follicular acantholysis is a common histopathological feature in pemphigus, with differences in depth between pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus lesions that may aid in diagnosis.

This study reports pseudopili annulati in a dark-haired Chinese girl, identifying the unique appearance and structural characteristics of her hair without finding abnormalities in the cuticle and cortex.

This review discusses how research on keratin biology has enhanced the understanding of epidermolysis bullosa simplex and indicates potential new therapeutic approaches, but it presents no new experimental results.

This study found that removing autophagy in keratinocytes led to increased skin inflammation, higher risk of skin tumors, and early hair follicle activation in mice.

This research found that the microtubule catastrophe factor KIF18B plays a crucial role in promoting spindle orientation in keratinocytes, linking this process to cell fate decisions during hair follicle morphogenesis.

This case report describes a 70-year-old kidney transplant recipient who developed a keratoacanthoma near an arteriovenous fistula after returning to hemodialysis and stopping immunosuppression.
