Men with Addison disease should be screened for X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy if they have hair loss.

This research reports a new autosomal recessive mutation in mice, 'lanceolate hair', causing generalized alopecia and hair shaft abnormalities, which may serve as a model for Netherton's syndrome in humans.

This case report describes a 59-year-old Afro-American woman diagnosed with lipedematous alopecia, a rare scalp condition of unknown cause.

This study reports a novel LSS gene mutation in an Egyptian family with alopecia intellectual disability syndrome 4, expanding the known clinical and genetic features of the condition.

This study demonstrates that mice with ectopic expression of the human GLI-1 gene in their skin developed tumors resembling human basal cell carcinoma, suggesting that GLI-1 is central to tumor development without additional p53 or Ha ras mutations.

In this study, researchers established that increased expression of the human GLI-1 gene in mouse skin leads to the development of tumors that closely resemble human basal cell carcinomas, without requiring additional mutations in the p53 or Ha ras genes.

In vitro, this study suggests that CRH may act as an autocrine hormone in human sebocytes, influencing lipid synthesis and potentially impacting skin disorders related to alterations in sebaceous lipid formation.

This study presents evidence suggesting that androgenetic alopecia is most likely inherited through a polygenic model, challenging the traditional view that it is caused by a simple Mendelian autosomal dominant gene.

This study found that thyroid-stimulating hormone receptors are functionally expressed in various skin cells, implying potential physiological and pathological roles in skin, especially in conditions like autoimmune diseases.

This systematic review observed that a significant number of COVID-19 patients report long-term symptoms, including neurologic complaints and chronic fatigue, highlighting the presence of "post-COVID syndrome.

This review discusses the role of corticotropin-releasing hormone in human skin, focusing on its regulation, receptors, and functions, and highlights parallels with the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis; it reports no new research findings.

This study suggests that keratin 9 expression in nonpalmoplantar keratinocytes can be induced by signals from palmoplantar fibroblasts, potentially enabling the use of nonpalmoplantar epidermis to treat palmoplantar wounds.

This study created transgenic mouse models with the LMNA gene mutation common in Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, revealing skin and teeth abnormalities related to transgene expression levels.

This study found that a keratin mutation may cause diffuse partial woolly hair associated with loose anagen hair syndrome in some families, but other genetic factors could play a role in different cases.

A specific gene mutation causes complete hair loss in an Irish Traveller family.

In a transgenic mouse model, this study found that overexpression of keratin 16 in skin keratinocytes led to hyperkeratosis and increased EGF receptor signaling, altering skin cell behavior and structure.

This review provides a comprehensive guide to the human microbiome and reports no new experimental results; it highlights the impact of modern lifestyles on microbial homeostasis and the necessity of conservation efforts.

This study identified a mutant in Arabidopsis with shorter root hairs due to early growth cessation, implicating the IRE gene in regulating root hair growth duration.

This review explores the role of FGFR2b-signaling in the pathogenesis of acne, highlighting its influence on sebaceous gland physiology and the effects of anti-acne agents like isotretinoin.

This review discusses the potential health benefits of probiotics as a "Bio-Therapy" in food and medicine, noting that more research is needed to fully understand their mechanisms and effectiveness.

In this study, immobilized VEGF selectively captured endothelial cells under various shear stresses, suggesting its potential for promoting endothelialization in vascular grafts or implanted tissues.

This study found that cyclophosphamide induced significant keratinocyte apoptosis in anagen hair follicles of mice, while topical calcitriol-analogs reduced this apoptosis, suggesting a protective effect against chemotherapy-induced alopecia.

This study identified a novel keratin-associated protein, KAP24.1, which is specifically expressed in the human scalp and located in the hair cuticle.

This study found that CRISPR/Cas9-induced loss-of-function mutations in the FGF5 gene significantly increased wool length and yield in genetically modified Chinese Merino sheep compared to wild-type controls.

This study found that compromised antioxidant activity in gray hair follicles affects both mature melanocytes and their immature precursors, linked to down-regulation of melanogenesis-related genes.

This study found a significant association between reduced FGF13 levels and X-linked congenital generalized hypertrichosis, suggesting FGF13's potential role in hair follicle growth and the hair cycle.

This study found significant associations between certain MICA variants and haplotypes with alopecia areata, suggesting MICA as a potential candidate gene linked to the disease's susceptibility and severity.

This study suggests that the COX-2 enzyme plays a role in hair follicle biology, as transgenic overexpression in mice induced hair follicle cycling disturbances and alopecia, which was mitigated by COX-2 inhibition.

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

This study introduces a magnet-assisted fabrication strategy for creating complex 3D soft bioscaffolds, demonstrating its effectiveness by producing structures with overhangs and supporting biohybrid actuators, promising advancements in biomedical applications.
