Graft-versus-host disease is a complication where donor immune cells attack the recipient's body, often affecting the skin, liver, and gastrointestinal tract.

This study developed a double-wavelength laser scanning microphotometer to measure hair shaft and follicle absorbance, improving spatial resolution and reducing light scattering effects in vitro.

This study highlights the diverse prescribing and monitoring practices for low-dose oral minoxidil among dermatologists in the UK and Ireland, used widely for various hair loss conditions both as monotherapy and adjunctive therapy.

Certain enzymes react strongly with some hormones in rat skin during hair growth, mainly in sebaceous glands and hair sheaths.

This case report described a 62-year-old postmenopausal woman with hirsutism whose symptoms improved after a hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy, revealing bilateral ovarian hyperthecosis.

This study found that Hairless protein down-regulates Msx2 expression, affecting hair follicle formation in Hairpoor mice by altering the MSX2 regulatory pathway.

This study suggests that dermal stem/progenitor cells can be enriched by intracellular granularity and display high proliferation and differentiation potential in vitro, distinguishing them from other fibroblasts and progenitors.

In this case study, researchers detailed two Saudi cases of the ultra-rare Trichohepatoneurodevelopmental syndrome, identifying pathogenic variants in the CCDC47 gene and reinforcing a strong gene-disease association, which helps clarify the disorder's clinical features and genetic mutations.

This study found a direct correlation between IL6 and insulin, glucose, and cholesterol serum levels in patients with oral lichen planus, suggesting a potential increased cardiovascular risk.

This study found that intense pulse light and diode laser treatments were similarly effective and tolerable for reducing unwanted facial hair in female patients with hirsutism, with no significant differences in hair reduction, adverse effects, or patient satisfaction between the two methods.

This case report describes a 32-month-old girl with a newly identified pediatric disorder linked to a de novo mutation in the ODC1 gene, mirroring symptoms seen in a transgenic mouse model.

This study found that stem cells from mouse hair follicles successfully reconstructed the ocular surface in most limbal stem cell deficiency mice, demonstrating potential for treating the condition in a mouse model.

This study found that taking Vitamin D supplements may be associated with a higher risk of hyperpigmentation after laser hair removal.

This study found that the Plcd3(mNab) mutation in mice worsens the alopecia caused by Plcd1 loss, suggesting synergistic effects between Plcd1 and Plcd3 on hair follicle health.

This case study reports an Asian female with congenital adrenal hyperplasia presenting atypically with polymenorrhagia, who showed improvement with oral dexamethasone, despite no change in hirsutism or clitoromegaly.

This study concluded that erosive lichen sclerosus is a distinct subtype marked by red patches on hairless skin, while ulcerated lichen sclerosus typically results from trauma in uncontrolled dermatosis.

In this study, the Hamilton-Norwood subtype of female pattern hair loss was associated with early onset and polycystic ovary syndrome, while the Ludwig pattern was more common overall.

Doctors used a special blood sampling technique to diagnose a woman's rare ovarian tumor that was producing male hormones.

This case report describes a 60-year-old postmenopausal woman with virilization and hirsutism caused by hilus-cell hyperplasia, which was confirmed following bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.

This study found that omega-6 and certain LDL cholesterol fractions are risk factors for androgenetic alopecia, suggesting a causal link between these lipid-related metabolites and the condition, which could inform future therapeutic approaches.

In this study, researchers identified a rare form of hereditary hypotrichosis linked to mutations in the LSS gene, which affects cholesterol biosynthesis and is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata had significantly lower serum levels of 25-hydroxy vitamin D compared to control subjects.

This report describes a rare case of loose anagen hair syndrome in a young Indian child, highlighting its clinical and trichoscopic features.

This case report identified a connection between idiopathic intracranial hypertension, papilledema, and newly diagnosed systemic lupus erythematosus in a young woman, highlighting the importance of thorough system reviews in such circumstances.

This study found that, among women with type 1 diabetes, those with polycystic ovary syndrome did not show worse lipoprotein and inflammatory glycoprotein profiles compared to those without the syndrome, although they had more harmful HDL particle subclasses than women with typical PCOS.

This study analyzed trichoscopic features of discoid lupus erythematosus on the scalp in skin of color and found distinct patterns based on clinical morphology.

In this study, daily administration of 100mg DHEA for 16 weeks in women with adequate ovarian reserve did not modify metabolic or reproductive variables, apart from increased antral follicular count and anti-Müllerian hormone levels.

This chapter provides dermatology trainees with insights on managing lichen planopilaris, emphasizing treating active disease to prevent further hair loss and recommending a tapered course of oral steroids for disease stabilization.

This study identified that dominant mutations in the KLHL24 gene cause epidermolysis bullosa through dysregulated autoubiquitination, leading to excessive degradation of keratin 14.

A postmenopausal woman's masculine symptoms improved after surgery for a hormone-producing ovarian tumor.
