This study found that individuals with alopecia areata showed differences in otoacoustic emissions, suggesting potential links between the condition and auditory dysfunction, with significant gender and age group variations observed in hearing test results.

The researchers reported that in nonmelanoma skin cancers, the expression of osteopontin splice variants is significantly higher compared to normal skin, with OPN-a elevated in basal cell carcinoma more than OPN-c.

This study identified 14 genes affected by copy number variants that may contribute to alopecia areata, including four genes notably involved in autophagy and chromatin remodeling.

In this study, researchers found that specific mutations in iRhom2 in mice lead to skin and hair abnormalities which depend on the presence of the protein ADAM17, suggesting a complex role for iRhom2 in tissue development and potential implications for treating tylosis with oesophageal cancer.

A genetic mutation linked to longer life and less disease was found in the Amish, and a drug is being developed to replicate these benefits.

This study reported that alopecia occurred in 2.5% of patients with mycosis fungoides or Sézary syndrome, with some cases resembling alopecia areata and others associated with specific skin lesions.

This report describes two patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia who developed acute hair loss on their limbs, revealing that the limb alopecia had similar histological features to scalp alopecia.

Minoxidil solution applied twice daily improved hair growth in patients with Woolly Hair/Hypotrichosis due to LIPH gene issues, with mild side effects.

This study observed that alopecia areata can be induced and serially transferred in C3H/HeJ mice using skin grafts, providing a useful model for studying the disease in humans.

This review discusses the essential roles and complex regulation of PP2A in various physiological processes and reports no clinical results; the authors highlight the need for further mouse model research to explore PP2A's therapeutic potential.

This review discusses the role of CYP gene polymorphisms in exacerbating hyperandrogenism in women with PCOS and reports no clinical results; further validation of this hypothesis is needed.

This review discusses low-level light therapy for androgenetic alopecia and female pattern hair loss, noting minimal clinical evidence on its efficacy and the need for more controlled studies.

This review evaluates hair growth measurement methods for human scalp hair, suggesting that combining highly resolutive analytical approaches with global calibrated methods is recommended for assessing hair changes in clinical settings.

This study found an association between a splice site variant in the KRT71 gene and curly hair in Selkirk Rex cats, identifying a significant locus on chromosome B4.

This study suggests that although the G972R variant of the IRS1 gene might increase AA excess risk in heterozygous carriers with CYP21 mutations, both variations play a limited role in PCOS development.

This study demonstrates that sebaceous gland loss is a common early feature in primary scarring alopecia and suggests that inflammation of sebaceous glands or ducts may contribute to follicular damage.

This narrative review discusses the structure and functions of the skin, focusing on its barrier role, self-repair, thermoregulation, and immune functions, and reports no new experimental results.

This study suggests that the androgen receptor locus on the X chromosome may play a role in the pathogenesis of early-onset female pattern hair loss.

This article discusses diagnostic challenges and management approaches for hair loss in women of color, emphasizing the importance of clinical examinations and education to prevent and manage traction alopecia.

This review found that chromium supplementation has limited effects on weight reduction, glucose control, lipid profile, and hormonal balance in women with PCOS, highlighting the need for further research.

This article presents a systematic approach for obstetricians/gynecologists to diagnose and manage common types of nonscarring hair loss in women, reporting no new clinical results.

This study suggests that the rs2075876 variant in the AIRE gene may significantly increase susceptibility to alopecia areata in the examined male population.

Terbinafine can cause hair loss.

This article reviews pediatric hair growth issues, common causes of hair loss in children, and approaches to diagnosis, but presents no new clinical findings.

This review explores the current treatments for different types of alopecia, emphasizing the need for well-designed clinical trials and highlighting that most therapies are used off-label, as only androgenetic alopecia has FDA-approved drugs.

This article reviews hair growth and loss in children and offers diagnostic approaches, reporting no new results.

Early hair loss in men and women may indicate a higher risk of heart disease and metabolic problems.

In this study, researchers identified a recurrent MBTPS2 splice-site variant as a mutational hotspot in IFAP syndrome across diverse families, with phenotype severity suggesting the influence of additional modifiers.

This review suggests a shift toward genetically informed treatments for male pattern hair loss by integrating genetic insights and pharmacogenetic markers into therapeutic decision-making.

This study suggests that coexisting LSS and TSPEAR variants might contribute to a complex phenotype of congenital hypotrichosis and ectodermal abnormalities in a child, and highlights the need for cautious interpretation of genotype-phenotype links and the potential value of broader genetic testing.
