This case study reports that a heterozygous missense GJA1 mutation, p.Gly138Ser, in a 2-year-old boy with oculodentodigital syndrome primarily resulted in syndactyly, fifth finger hypoplasia, and hypotrichosis, without neurological or craniofacial abnormalities.

This study found that injecting thymus gland extracts into albino rats significantly accelerated growth and morphological differentiation across generations, including earlier sexual maturation and development of features like hair and teeth.

This study identified a novel phase of stem cell quiescence, GAlert, in mice, regulated by mTORC1, that primes stem cells for injury response.

This study found that the spiny mouse can regenerate tissues such as skeletal muscle, dermis, and hair without scarring after full thickness thermal burns, unlike the lab mouse.

This study reveals that transglutaminase activity is widespread in integumentary structures of mammals and birds, suggesting it plays a significant role in the cornification of hard skin appendages like nails and feathers.

This study established a mouse model of atopic dermatitis with overgrowth of Malassezia globosa using olive oil as a vehicle, which caused severe lesions and hair follicle damage.

This study found that introducing rat ornithine transcarbamylase gene into spf-ash mice improved liver and intestinal enzyme activity and normalized some metabolic indicators.

In this study, magnesium was observed to penetrate human skin, with hair follicles significantly aiding this process depending on the concentration and duration of exposure.

In mouse studies, this research found that combining ginsenoside Rg3 and glycyrrhizic acid with minoxidil improved treatment outcomes for androgen alopecia by addressing both symptoms and root causes, notably activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and promoting hair follicle cell proliferation.

This study reports two new cases of Gomez-Lopez-Hernandez syndrome and suggests that trigeminal anesthesia and/or partial scalp alopecia may be key criteria for diagnosis.

This review examines the roles of Hedgehog and Gli proteins in mouse embryonic mammary development and suggests that Gli3-repressor-mediated off-state of Hedgehog signaling determines mammary fate over hair follicle fate.

In this study, mice engineered to express human EGFR showed tissue-specific growth defects and neurodegeneration rescue, but developed severe heart issues and accelerated bone cell differentiation.

This study in mice found that MEIS2 expression in mesenchymal dermal cells is crucial for the formation of whiskers and the initial steps of epithelial placode development, independently of sensory nerve innervation or Foxd1 expression.

This study developed a method to convert fibroblasts into sweat gland-like cells, suggesting potential for regenerating damaged skin and restoring sweat gland function.

In this study, GERD symptoms were found to be significantly related to acid exposure time and the intensity of excessive daytime sleepiness, which depends on circulating ghrelin levels.

In this study, transgenic mice overexpressing the SSAT gene were highly sensitive to polyamine analogues, leading to severe liver changes and high mortality rates after treatment.

This case report describes a 32-year-old woman with a history of undifferentiated connective tissue disease who presented with cardiogenic shock, and endomyocardial biopsy revealed giant cell myocarditis, possibly indicating an association with her autoimmune condition.

This guide reviews the biology of sebaceous glands and their evaluation methods, emphasizing their roles beyond lipid production in skin health and disease, and reports no new research results.

This study identified a novel missense mutation in the FGF5 gene associated with the longhair phenotype in about 3% of Maine Coon cats, suggesting it may be a breed-specific variant.

This study found that sudden hair loss in guinea pigs may serve as a potential biomarker for subacute exposure to mustard gas, and pre-treatment with N-acetylcysteine could prevent this hair loss.

This review summarizes a 15-year collaboration on the role of synaptic-like vesicles in mechanosensory nerve terminals and suggests potential therapeutic implications for conditions like hypertension and muscle spasticity.

In this case report, a 41-year-old male developed myasthenia gravis following alopecia areata, with prednisolone and tacrolimus improving his symptoms; a literature review identified 29 reported cases of this comorbidity, with some showing additional autoimmune diseases, suggesting a shared immunological mechanism.

This study found that topical patidegib gel significantly shrank basal cell carcinomas in Gorlin syndrome patients without causing the systemic side effects common with oral hedgehog inhibitors.

Researchers created a new mouse model for studying scleroderma.

In this report, a 58-year-old woman with ocular myasthenia gravis experienced complete resolution of symptoms and hair regrowth after six months of treatment with the JAK inhibitor baricitinib, highlighting a potential new therapeutic approach for this condition.

This study found that magnesium oxide-incorporated electrospun membranes improved wound healing in a simulated model by accelerating wound closure, reducing inflammation, promoting fibroblast proliferation, and stimulating angiogenesis and skin regeneration.

This study found that in a mouse model of Gorlin syndrome, constitutive activation of signaling in dermal cells led to abnormal follicular growth, indicating non-epidermal factors may contribute to the disease.

This study demonstrates that a single exposure to GHB during a sexual assault can be detected by analyzing hair segments collected about one month after the incident.

This research highlights the potential of non-coding RNAs as biomarkers and therapeutic targets in dermatology, while experimental studies on a unique GVM case suggest CCM2L may modulate disease severity, advancing understanding of genetic mechanisms in rare skin disorders.

This case report identified a new isotype of male androgenetic alopecia (inverse-MAGA) in a man successfully treated with finasteride and minoxidil, suggesting the need for future studies to evaluate this variant widely.
