This study identified a novel pathogenic splice-site variant of the LAMB3 gene in patients with junctional epidermolysis bullosa, highlighting the importance of gene sequencing for diagnosis.

This letter reports the first known Japanese case of autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis with compound heterozygous mutations in the LIPH gene.

This study found that cornifin-alpha/SPRR1 expression in mouse skin increases significantly in response to phorbol ester treatment and in papillomas and squamous cell carcinomas, particularly in differentiated areas.

This study found that the Lim-homeodomain transcription factor Lhx2 regulates Sonic Hedgehog signaling during early retinal neurogenesis in mice by controlling the expression of pathway genes in retinal progenitor cells.

This article describes the development and validation of a standardized instrument for measuring skin involvement in cutaneous lupus erythematosus, aiming to aid future clinical research and trials.

Recognizing minor skin lesions can help identify serious cancer syndromes.

This case report describes a rare concurrence of Morbihan disease with eyelid edema and extrafacial lupus miliaris disseminatus faciei in a patient, noting improvement of truncal lesions with roxithromycin and resolution of eyelid edema following surgical treatment.

This study identified a specific LIPH gene mutation (736T>A) as common in Japanese patients with autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis, potentially indicating its role in the condition's manifestation within this population.

This review discusses the diagnostic criteria and guidelines for managing loose anagen syndrome and differentiating it from non-scarring alopecias, but it reports no new clinical results.

This abstract reports pooled safety data from the WILLOW study for participants with cutaneous lupus erythematosus and systemic lupus erythematosus but does not provide new findings.

This study highlights that early detection and tailored treatment based on kidney biopsy classification are crucial in managing lupus nephritis to prevent progression to end-stage kidney disease, with a focus on saving nephron cells.

This article explores the correlation between alopecia leprotica and Buddhist customs, presenting evidence that leprosy is contracted during infancy or childhood rather than in maturity; it reports no new clinical findings.

This case report documents the first confirmed mutation-proved instance of Clouston syndrome in a large Chinese-Malaysian family, linked to the c.263C>T (A88V) mutation in the GJB6 gene, with no available treatment but highlighting the importance of genetic counseling.

This report presents a rare case of discoid lupus erythematosus in a Saudi woman, highlighting the need for dermatologists to recognize atypical presentations to prevent misdiagnosis and treatment delays.

This study successfully constructed a skin cDNA library from the Liaoning cashmere goat during follicle anagen and identified two genes with significant expression in heart, skin, and hair follicles.

This report describes two scalp lichen simplex chronicus cases with hair loss and intense itching, noting unique dermoscopic and histopathological features.

This case study describes a 15-year-old girl with a Sertoli–Leydig cell tumor who showed high androgen levels and steroidogenic responses similar to patients with polycystic ovary syndrome before surgery.

This study found that the Cutaneous Lupus Disease Area and Severity Index (CLASI) is correlated with both physician-assessed and patient-reported outcomes in cutaneous lupus erythematosus, particularly highlighting concerns about body image in visible areas.

This case report details a post-menopausal woman with hirsutism and virilization due to rare Leydig cell tumors in both ovaries, underscoring the challenge of detecting such tumors with standard imaging.

This study found that the loss of Msx2 in knockout mice led to phenotypes similar to Peters anomaly and microphthalmia, suggesting that MSX2 plays a critical role in anterior segment development of the eye.

This study suggests that fractional infrared technology may effectively improve cervical skin laxity by enhancing dermal thickness without adverse effects in a small pilot group.

This article discusses the potential misdiagnosis issues in cutaneous manifestations of lupus erythematosus and reports no new research findings.

This correspondence describes two patients with both epidermolysis bullosa simplex, Dowling-Meara type, and loose anagen hair syndrome, an association not previously reported in the literature.

In this study, Dodatek A operationalizes the Functional Androgen Axis framework by defining three system-level indices and an efficiency metric to describe androgen function, incorporating key methodological improvements and acknowledging significant limitations for future empirical validation.
