This study found that while laser hair removal improves quality of life for women with facial hirsutism, emotional benefits diminish over 30 months and additional treatments may be necessary to maintain improvements.

LIPH mutations cause woolly hair in some Chinese people.

The laser therapy device effectively increased hair growth in people with androgenetic alopecia.

This letter reports a homozygous missense mutation in the LIPH gene causing autosomal recessive hypotrichosis simplex in a Chinese patient.

This study found that low-level laser therapy (LLLT) may enhance hearing recovery after noise-induced hearing loss in rats.

This study reports on a 46-year-old female with a high hairline who underwent hairline-lowering surgery using bone-tunneling suture fixation, achieving an average of 2 cm reduction, equivalent to transplanting up to 3,000 hair grafts, with satisfactory results for both patient and surgeons.

This case report suggests that long-acting injectable risperidone may induce hirsutism in some patients, and clinicians should monitor for this potential side effect when prescribing this antipsychotic.

This study identified two distinct VDR gene mutations among Lebanese families with hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets, noting varied treatment responses and promising outcomes despite severe phenotypes.

This review synthesizes the diverse roles of the transcription factor LHX2 in development, tissue maintenance, and injury repair across various organ systems, highlighting its potential therapeutic applications and significance in regenerative medicine, particularly in developmental disorders and tissue regeneration.

This study reported that Rapp-Hodgkin syndrome, AEC syndrome, and EEC syndrome are likely part of a single genetic disorder spectrum linked to mutations in the TP63 gene.

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 describes a novel hairless mutant rat strain, F344-Hr(krh), developed via ENU mutagenesis, which provides a model for skin disease and potentially focal glomerulosclerosis due to specific genetic mutations.

This case study documents the co-existence of trichorhinophalangeal syndrome and loose anagen syndrome in a patient, highlighting a previously unreported association between the two conditions.

This study suggests that label-retaining cells in the hair follicle contribute to follicular renewal, indicating a specific role in the hair cycle by proliferating during the late telogen phase.

In this study, eight patients with hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets who share a specific VDR mutation showed improved clinical symptoms except alopecia after up to 11 years of treatment.

This study found that certain lncRNA gene polymorphisms in HOTAIR and MALAT1 are associated with increased susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus, potentially informing clinical applications.

A 72-year-old man was diagnosed with a rare skin form of Rosai-Dorfman disease after years of misdiagnosis.

This review discusses the role of RDH12 in vision, its structural and functional aspects, and related disease mechanisms, but reports no new clinical results; it aims to support therapy development for inherited retinal dystrophies.

Laser Lax is a new tool that measures scalp looseness accurately and comfortably.

This study found that low doses of leuprolide effectively suppressed serum estradiol and LH response, while higher doses were needed to suppress testosterone and reduce hair growth in hirsute women.

This narrative review discusses the role and importance of rheumatologists in managing autoimmune interstitial lung disease and emphasizes the need for enhanced collaboration with respiratory physicians to improve diagnosis, management, and outcomes; no new clinical results are reported.

This review discusses the roles of the hairless (HR) protein as a corepressor, particularly its impact on RORα-mediated transcriptional repression, and reports no new experimental findings.

This study found that the locked cheek lift technique effectively corrects cheek gravitational migration and reduces the lid cheek distance with minimal complications, maintaining results for over a year.

This review provides an overview of the hairless gene in mice and humans, discussing its structure, expression, and implications for understanding skin physiology and human disorders related to gene disruption, but it reports no new empirical findings.

This study found that the hairless gene in mice has a more extensive role in development than previously thought, as indicated by its expression in various tissues and associated abnormalities in hr/hr mutants.

This case study reported a rare occurrence of lepromatous leprosy with Lucio phenomenon in a 50-year-old Indonesian living in Malaysia, highlighting the necessity for primary care practitioners, even in non-endemic areas, to recognize this serious leprosy reaction to prevent complications and transmission.

Treatment with a hormone agonist can reduce excess male hormones in postmenopausal women without surgery.

In this case report, researchers describe a 22-year-old male with a unique presentation of Senior-Løken Syndrome due to a NPHP4 mutation, exhibiting atypical symptoms like cryptorchidism, alopecia, and potential syndromic overlap with Rothmund-Thomson Syndrome, suggesting complex genetic interactions and expanding the phenotypic spectrum of ciliopathies.

This research letter reports that low-dose oral minoxidil improved hair density and length in children with loose anagen hair syndrome.
