This case report highlights that lipedematous scalp and alopecia areata may coexist and that precise diagnosis requires histopathologic examination.

This study introduced Cadd4, a peptide-based degrader developed using computer-aided drug design, which effectively reduced PCSK9 levels and increased LDL receptor expression, resulting in decreased plasma cholesterol and LDL-C levels in hypercholesterolemic mice, without liver toxicity.

This study found that among women with diffuse hair loss, 26.2% had a history of drug intake, with antihypertensives being the most common drug group implicated.

This case report discusses a young girl with loose anagen hair syndrome, highlighting the importance of recognizing the condition early to avoid misdiagnosis and unnecessary treatments, and noting her spontaneous improvement with conservative management.

This study found that mutations in exon 3 of the hr gene are strongly associated with congenital hypotrichosis in Valle del Belice sheep, suggesting a potential genetic link to the disorder.

This correspondence describes two patients with both epidermolysis bullosa simplex, Dowling-Meara type, and loose anagen hair syndrome, an association not previously reported in the literature.

This study reported discovering a novel missense variant in a case of autosomal recessive woolly hair in a 31-year-old Chinese woman, which significantly reduced secretion of the encoded protein, likely leading to disease by impairing its hydrolytic function.

A specific gene variant is linked to heart disease, increased heart muscle, curly hair, and thick skin on palms and soles.

This case report describes a 78-year-old male with adenocarcinoma and Hypertrichosis lanuginosa acquisita, highlighting the need to consider malignancy in patients with unexplained excessive hair growth.

This study found that in Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome, iPSCs committed to the keratinocyte lineage faster than normal cells, with LEF1 expression reduced and a partial rescue of the phenotype achieved through adenine base editing.

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) worsens heart enlargement, and blocking it may help prevent heart issues.

This review discusses progeria, focusing on its pathogenesis, major symptoms, and management strategies, and includes a clinical case of a girl with the disease confirmed by genetic testing; it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that 6 months of Low-Level-Laser Therapy significantly increased overall hair density, particularly Vellus hair density, in women with hormonal, age-related hair loss.

This article reviews the clinical signs, diagnostic approaches, and treatment options for hyperandrogenism in women, focusing on hirsutism and specifies that cyproterone acetate is effective for severe cases, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers found no significant differences in serum levels of DHEAs, DHT, and testosterone between female patients with oral lichen planus and healthy controls, suggesting no neuroendocrine etiology linked to the condition.

This case report describes a strong dermoscopic and histopathological correlation in lichen nitidus, helping differentiate it from other similar conditions.

This case study reported significant improvement in autoimmune-related symptoms, including complete hair regrowth, in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus and alopecia areata after treatment with the LGS Protocol.

This study found that men with vertex type androgenetic alopecia had higher triglyceride levels and lower HDL cholesterol levels compared to those with normal hair, suggesting it may be a marker of hyperlipidemia.

This source reports that four weeks of dupilumab treatment led to notable improvement in skin lesions, including multiple erythematous patches and papules on the face, back, and limbs.

This study found that abnormal serum lipid levels were prevalent among male patients with androgenetic alopecia, with high triglycerides and low HDL observed frequently.

Higher monocyte counts may predict poor response to adalimumab in hidradenitis suppurativa patients.

In this study, researchers identified a unique Arg30stop mutation in the vitamin D receptor gene that causes hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets in a young French-Canadian boy by truncating the receptor and causing hormone resistance.

This study reports that hyperaesthetic leucotrichia primarily affects Arabian and American paint horses, occurring mainly in summer, with histological differences from erythema multiforme despite some shared features.

This study found that human placenta hydrolysate effectively inhibited atopic dermatitis development in stimulated human cells and a mouse model, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic agent for related skin diseases.

This article reviews potential causes for angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia, a benign vascular tumor often found in middle-aged adults, and reports no new clinical findings.

This letter reports the first known Japanese case of autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis with compound heterozygous mutations in the LIPH gene.
