This study found that individuals with heterozygous truncation-type variants in the *DSP* gene exhibit lower skin temperature and higher transepidermal water loss, with specific microscopic skin changes and pseudomonilethrix.

This study reported that knocking out the HR gene in pigs using CRISPR/Cas9 led to hairless eyelids and abnormalities in the thymus and peripheral blood, suggesting pigs as a model for human HR-related hair disorders.

This review discusses the molecular pathology of progeroid syndromes and reports no new results; the authors emphasize understanding these mechanisms to develop treatments and potentially improve quality of life for affected individuals.

In this case report, half-siblings with bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma were found to have a susceptibility to Trichophyton rubrum infection, successfully treated with oral terbinafine.

This study reviewed evidence on the role of specific genes (FKBP12, SAMAHD1, TRF2, CD155, and GATA3) in predicting how breast cancer patients might respond to adjuvant chemotherapy, aiming to monitor these markers in blood or tissue samples.

This study reports that a prototype device may accurately measure changes in hair quantity, diameter, and density in patients with balding by assessing the cross-sectional area of hair bundles.

This paper summarizes the main findings presented in the plenary sessions of the British Journal of Dermatology, July 2004 issue, and provides no new research results.

This clinical letter identifies Rothmund-Thomson syndrome type 2 as a rare cause of chronic wounds, but provides no new experimental findings.

Researchers found a gene mutation responsible for a rare hair loss condition.

A new mutation in the HR gene causes hair loss in a specific family.

In this study, researchers identified a novel p.R50X mutation in the vitamin D receptor gene, linked to hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets in two siblings.

This case report highlights that a patient with resistance to thyroid hormone was misdiagnosed as having Graves’ disease, leading to unnecessary radioactive iodine treatment.

This study identified novel mitochondrial DNA variations in PCOS patients from Pakistan, which may serve as genetic predisposition markers, highlighting especially the potential pathogenicity of frameshift mutations in the MT-ND2 gene.

This study found that FRβ knockout mice exhibited autoimmune symptoms and slower tumor growth compared to wild type mice, suggesting that the FRβ receptor may play a role in regulating immune responses in tumors and autoimmune conditions.

Researchers found a new genetic mutation causing a rare hair loss condition in the first Japanese child studied.

This study found that the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein plays a crucial role in maintaining hair follicle stem cell function and influences tissue regeneration and tumor formation in mice.

This review discusses how ionizing radiation causes skin damage by inducing cellular senescence in keratinocytes, which secrete inflammatory mediators, recruiting immune cells and exacerbating inflammation, impacting the skin barrier function and healing.

This article reviews the structure and function of hair follicles, diagnostic approaches, and treatments for nonscarring alopecias, but reports no new clinical results.

New ABCA12 gene mutations were linked to a skin condition with scaling and hair loss, and a treatment helped with hair loss in a related case.

This study observed that patients with type 2 diabetes and sensorineural hearing loss exhibited significantly higher levels of peripheral myelin protein 22, particularly in those with microangiopathies, suggesting demyelinating processes in the auditory system.

In this study, researchers created a mouse model using CRISPR/Cas9 technology to investigate hypotrichosis simplex and woolly hair, finding that Krt71-knockout mice exhibited curly hair and developed complete hair shedding without immune deficiencies, mimicking conditions seen in humans and potentially aiding future hair disorder research.

This genetic study identified a potential interval for the Marie Unna hypotrichosis gene but found no mutations in the nearby hr gene, suggesting its involvement remains unconfirmed.

This study found that in obese mice, local antimicrobial activity is reduced due to a loss of adipogenic stem cells and an increase in mature adipocytes, leading to higher susceptibility to skin infections.

This study found that a novel missense mutation in the vitamin D receptor caused hereditary 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-resistant rickets with alopecia by disrupting protein function, highlighting the importance of DNA binding in hair development.

In this study, researchers identified two distinct homozygous mutations in the KRT85 gene among consanguineous Pakistani families with pure hair and nail ectodermal dysplasia, highlighting variations in severity and potential impacts on the K85 protein function.

This study found that AHCC significantly reduced alopecia caused by Ara-C in neonatal rats and improved liver function affected by 6-MP and MTX in mice.

Proteins like aPKC and PDGF-AA, substances like adenosine and ATP, and adipose-derived stem cells all play important roles in hair growth and health, and could potentially be used to treat hair loss and skin conditions.

This study found that Mdm2 is critical for limiting p53 activity to maintain normal stem cell function in mouse skin, with impacts on tissue homeostasis and aging.

Loss of Dsc3 function in the epidermis impaired cell adhesion, leading to blistering and hair loss, which suggests a potential cause of PV-like skin diseases according to this study.

This study found that DHHC13 is crucial for hair anchoring and skin barrier function, with its deficiency in Zdhhc13(skc4) mice leading to cyclic alopecia and skin abnormalities due to cornifelin deficiencies.
