This study discusses zinc's vital role in skin cell growth and how its deficiency can lead to acrodermatitis enteropathica, marked by symptoms like alopecia and dermatitis. It notes that similar symptoms appear in people with certain metabolic conditions, referred to as acrodermatitis dysmetabolica.

This historical overview commemorates Grzegorz Józef Wojciech Ziembicki, a pioneering surgical leader at Lviv General Hospital, highlighting his contributions to surgical education, innovative procedures, and anesthesia practices during his tenure from 1882 to 1915.

In this study, researchers identified a novel genetic variant in the NR3C1 gene in a mother and her son that predicts a truncated protein, leading to glucocorticoid resistance syndrome with mild hyperandrogenic features, although no clear genotype-phenotype correlation has been established.

This source highlights that arsenic exposure through contaminated groundwater is a significant global health risk, leading to skin and hair conditions such as pigmentation changes, skin irritation, alopecia, and can eventually result in skin cancer.

EGFR-targeted cancer therapy can cause skin issues starting at hair follicles, leading to inflammation.

This study reported a rare case where a pheochromocytoma produced ACTH, leading to cyclic Cushing syndrome, and underscores the importance of considering this possibility in cases of ACTH-dependent hypercortisolism with an adrenal mass.

This study reported a rare case of necrobiosis lipoidica occurring on the scalp, leading to scarring alopecia, and highlighted a positive response to glucocorticoid therapy by reducing the brightness and growth of plaques over one month.

In this review, researchers reported that post-COVID-19 syndrome may lead to significant sequelae like hair loss, potentially due to acute telogen effluvium, affecting around 20% of patients and impacting their quality of life, though specific studies on this relationship are lacking.

Hair follicle stem cells and mitochondria are key for hair growth, and targeting their activity could lead to new hair loss treatments.

This editorial highlights recent progress in understanding chronic inflammatory skin diseases, leading to new treatments like JAK inhibitors for eczema and psoriasis, while emphasizing the journal's call for research on skin biology and aging.

This review concludes that chronic inflammation persistently activates stem cells, leading to DNA damage accumulation that can promote cancer development and metastasis, affecting both stem and cancer cells.

This study discusses how historical misconceptions conflated leprosy and psoriasis, leading to widespread social stigma for psoriasis patients, and highlights key figures like Robert Willan and Ferdinand von Hebra who advanced understanding by ultimately separating the two diseases in medical classification.

Girls with Autism Spectrum Disorder may show different symptoms than boys, leading to missed or delayed diagnoses.

The patient with Hoffman's folliculitis got better with the right treatment, leading to hair regrowth.

This study reports that hypotrichosis congenita in Hereford cattle is associated with a KRT71 mutation, leading to color dilution follicular dysplasia.

This study found that inadequate thickness of deep dermal tissue in pigs is a key factor leading to fibrosis, with fibrosis likely serving a compensatory function for skin thickness.

This study found that the KrasG12D mutation alters ERK signal dynamics in hair follicle stem cells, leading to tissue deformation, and suggests a collective effect of mutant cells is necessary for disruption.

This case report describes a 68-year-old patient with mild Sars-Cov2 infection who developed rapidly progressing bullous and necrotic skin lesions leading to osteomyelitis.

This case report highlights that asymptomatic domestic cats can transmit Microsporum canis, leading to tinea capitis in humans, as seen in a four-year-old girl in the study.

This case report highlights that uncommon ovarian tumors like sclerosal stromal tumors can cause hirsutism and virilization in postmenopausal women and lead to androgen secretion, despite typically being hormonally inactive.

This review discusses the genetic and metabolic factors influencing hair pigmentation, as well as conditions leading to hypo- or depigmented hair, and reports no new experimental findings.

This case report describes a woman with systemic lupus erythematosus who developed chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, leading to improved right heart function after treatment with diuretics, anticoagulants, corticosteroids, and immunosuppressants.

This study reports that despite rescuing neurulation and skin barrier defects, Grhl3 gene overexpression in mice leads to hearing impairment, hair loss, and other developmental abnormalities, highlighting low tolerance for Grhl3 dysregulation.

The correction states that the label change for Finasteride was in 2012, leading to more reports of side effects from non-healthcare people.

This study highlights that stress-induced activation of the HPA axis in human hair follicles can lead to hair growth arrest, but variability in follicle response complicates potential therapeutic approaches.

Modern society values both traditional beauty and imperfections, but media pressures lead to more cosmetic enhancements and ethical concerns.

The pandemic likely caused delays in skin cancer assessments, leading to fewer early diagnoses and thicker melanomas.

This study observed that the proportion of female authorship, including lead authors, in top dermatology journals increased from 2018 to 2020, despite potential COVID-19 impacts, while female senior authorship rates still reflect gender disparity in senior positions.

In this study, the authors observed that controlled microflora in gnotobionts leads to delayed maturation of T-dependent lymphocytes in the thymus, affecting cellular immunity reactions.

This study found that laparoscopic ovarian drilling significantly improved hormone levels and menstrual irregularity, leading to increased ovulation and a pregnancy rate of 26% among women with PCOS-related infertility.
