This study found that ablation of Tet2/Tet3 genes in skin epithelial cells altered hair shape and length, leading to hair loss, by affecting chromatin accessibility and gene expression related to hair follicle regulation.

This case report describes successful treatment of anaplasmosis in a Kintamani mix dog with doxycycline, ivermectin, vetadryl, and Livron b-plex, leading to improved activity, hair growth, appetite, and tick eradication.

This case report details the successful use of oral itraconazole in treating a giant tufted angioma with hair loss that developed during pregnancy, leading to significant symptom relief and hair regrowth after discontinuation of the medication.

This report describes a rare case of severe combined immunodeficiency caused by a FOXN1 gene variant, complicated by Epstein-Barr virus infection and high-grade B-cell lymphoma, leading to the infant's death despite treatment efforts.

This case report describes a unique lesion in a 10-month-old girl, characterized by increased eccrine glands and hair follicles, leading to the proposed term "hybrid eccrine gland and hair follicle hamartoma".

This study reports that since the early 1990s, China's advertising and consumer culture have rapidly transformed, with Chinese brands now leading the market alongside significant cultural shifts toward consumerism and materialism.

This study suggests that exogenous retinoic acid can alter the morphogenesis pathway of developing skin appendages when applied during the placodal stage, leading to changes like feather formation in atypical regions of chick embryos.

This study found that after application of a testosterone cream containing 17α-methyltestosterone and testosterone propionate, these compounds could be detected in dried blood spots up to 97 hours post-application, potentially leading to sample contamination during fingertip puncture.

This review reported that certain systemic drugs, including antiepileptics and anticancer drugs, can lead to changes in hair pigmentation, such as hypopigmentation or hyperpigmentation, with varied prevalence and clinical characteristics.

This study found that while infectious events may occur in alopecia areata patients treated with JAK inhibitors, these infections are usually manageable and rarely lead to permanent treatment discontinuation.

In this source, it is suggested that tick saliva, containing anticoagulants like heparins, induces an inflammatory reaction on the scalp that may lead to alopecia.

In this study, researchers explored how hair follicle orientation is affected in the rosette fancy mouse and found that a mutation in the PCP gene Fzd6 caused reversed hair orientations in the posterior region, leading to the formation of unique whorls.

This study found that hair follicle stem cells in the hairpoor mouse, a model for Marie-Unna hypotrichosis, lose their quiescent state, leading to a disordered hair cycle and contributing to alopecia.

This study found that a lack of knowledge about alopecia areata, compounded by low literacy, can lead to improper treatment and increased stress among affected individuals.

This study concluded that while the terpenoid fraction of M. jalapa's root extract increased growth factor expression in wound healing, it may lead to hypertrophic scars by prolonging the proliferation phase.

In this study, Tanimura et al. reported that loss of collagen XVII in mice leads to hair loss and pigmentation defects, potentially due to impaired TGF-beta signaling affecting melanocyte stem cell maintenance.

This letter argues that the association between fluconazole therapy and alopecia may be misattributed, suggesting instead that systemic fungal infections themselves could lead to hair loss.

This study demonstrated that VD3 significantly enhanced the proliferation and differentiation of epidermal stem cells in a murine skin defect model, leading to improved wound healing, potentially through activation of the PI3K signaling pathway.

This study tested a hydrogel microneedle patch delivering T reg attractants in mice with alopecia, finding it boosted regulatory T cell numbers at the site, leading to hair regrowth without causing peripheral immunosuppression, suggesting a potential new approach for autoimmune skin disease treatment.

This review details how baricitinib successfully demonstrated significant hair regrowth in clinical trials for severe alopecia areata, now leading to its approval as the first systemic therapy for the condition, while also highlighting the importance of assessing individual risk factors for adverse events.

This manuscript describes two case reports of preterm newborns with a rare homozygous mutation in the epidermal growth factor receptor, leading to severe health issues and early mortality despite supportive care.

In this study, two women with hyperandrogenic symptoms were found to have ovarian Leydig cell tumors after selective ovarian venous sampling and salpingo-oophorectomy, leading to a decline in testosterone levels post-surgery.

This case report describes successful treatment of folliculitis decalvans in a 41-year-old woman using oral fusidic acid, leading to clinical improvement and no recurrences after six months.

This case report describes the successful topical treatment of a horse with a Pythium insidiosum infection using amphotericin B and DMSO, leading to significant wound healing and hair regrowth.

This study found that the primary mechanism behind hair relaxation in Afro-hair is the alkali-induced denaturation of helical filaments, leading to spontaneous straightening.

This case study reports a teenage boy with juvenile polyposis syndrome, presenting with microcytic anemia, growth failure, and rectal bleeding, leading to the diagnosis following colonoscopy and histologic examination of colonic polyps.

In this study of sheep across various breeds and ages, researchers found that Trichophyton mentagrophytes caused severe dermatophytosis, especially affecting young Shahbadi sheep during winter, leading to notable anemia and skin lesions.

In this study, researchers reported that the Pinkie mutation in mice, affecting RXRa activity, leads to skewed Th1 development and suggests RXRa's role in Th2 differentiation, impacting immune responses.

This study suggests that miR-144 influences hair follicle dynamics through its impact on Lhx2, which could lead to advancements in cashmere production, fleece quality, and treatments for hair growth disorders.

The authors discuss that hair loss affecting the occipital scalp is understudied and may be caused by factors like movement irritation and clothing occlusion; this lack of data can lead to missed diagnoses and inadequate treatment.
