Some African American women experience central scalp hair loss, often linked to a history of fungal scalp infection.

Dengue fever can cause hair loss that may lead to serious psychological issues like Body Dysmorphic Disorder in young women.

Miniaturized hair follicles in androgenetic alopecia show abnormal mitochondrial activity and damage.

This article highlights that tinea capitis, a fungal scalp infection primarily seen in children, is often misdiagnosed in adults, especially postmenopausal women and immunocompromised individuals, leading to unnecessary treatments and potential permanent hair loss if not correctly identified and treated.

This study found that females exposed to high cumulative doses of cyproterone acetate had a 6–20 fold increased risk of developing meningiomas compared to those on lower doses.

This review reports that tinea capitis is uncommon in adults, with postmenopausal African American or Black women at higher risk, and emphasizes the importance of prompt antifungal treatment to prevent complications.

Early diagnosis of pseudopelade of Brocq in men is crucial to prevent permanent hair loss.

This paper highlights advances in Developmental Dynamics, noting how epoa-deficient zebrafish can model Diamond-Blackfan anemia like disorders for drug screening, Alx4 mouse models offer insights into craniofacial development, and mTORC1 signaling is crucial for retinal development.

In this case study, an 8-day-old neonate with holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency showed dramatic improvement in lactic acidosis and overall clinical condition following biotin mega-dose therapy, highlighting the importance of early genetic testing and timely treatment in such metabolic disorders.

In this case study, a 12-year-old boy with Cushing's Disease experienced a complex diagnostic journey; ultimately, a left-side ACTH-secreting microadenoma was identified and treated with gamma knife therapy, normalizing hypercortisolism but resulting in growth hormone deficiency.

In this case study, a 45-year-old immunocompetent woman with tinea capitis exhibited an unusual presentation of the infection with a scaly plaque and hair loss, which responded well to treatment with itraconazole.

This report documents the first known case of cutaneous mastocytosis associated with congenital alopecia areata in a young Korean girl, confirmed through histopathological examination.

This study found that knocking down P-cadherin expression in cultured human hair follicles recreates the hair abnormalities seen in patients with hypotrichosis with juvenile macular dystrophy.

In this article review, it was reported that systemic oral antifungal treatments are essential for effectively managing tinea capitis, as topical antifungals alone cannot reach the hair follicle roots but may reduce spore transmission when used alongside oral medications.

This study reports the first case of mandibuloacral dysplasia syndrome associated with MTX2 gene mutation in the Chinese population, expanding the known spectrum of MTX2 mutations.

This report describes a three-generation family with Cantú syndrome linked to a novel ABCC9 gene variant, featuring acromegaloid appearance and hypertrichosis without growth hormone abnormalities, and suggests a potential association with pituitary adenomas.

In a case report, this study identified a new genetic variant in a six-year-old girl from Saudi Arabia with hypotrichosis and juvenile macular dystrophy, expanding the understanding of the genetic spectrum of this rare condition in the region.

In this study, researchers found a significant association between the rs13405699 SNP at 2q31.1 and male pattern baldness among Han Chinese men, suggesting genetic influence on this condition in this population.

This case reported that a 6-year-old patient with scalp lesions, diagnosed with tinea capitis and head lice, successfully responded to a new treatment regimen including griseofulvin, permethrin, and prednisolone, highlighting the need for better diagnosis and interprofessional communication.

Scalp micropigmentation is a process where tiny dots of pigment are tattooed onto the scalp to create the appearance of a shaved head or fuller hair.

This article discusses monilethrix in a 6-year-old girl, explores various aspects of the disease, and its treatment, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that miR-124 may facilitate the differentiation of hair follicle stem cells into neuronal cells by targeting Sox9 and Ptbp1.

This case report describes a 12-year-old girl diagnosed with monilethrix, characterized by fragile, beaded hair shafts, with no effective treatment currently available.

In this study, among Chinese infants and young children aged 0-5 years, Type II and Type III frontal hairline patterns were the most common, with a negative correlation observed between age and hairline type.

This case report describes an adolescent boy with congenital triangular alopecia who showed significant hair regrowth after eight months of treatment with 5% topical minoxidil, achieving full coverage of the affected area without adverse effects.

This study found that hair shaft miniaturization in aging and genetic hypotrichosis leads to hair follicle stem cell loss through mechanical compression and apoptosis mediated by the Piezo1 channel.

This study suggests that finasteride may upregulate BTG2 and CD244 gene expression through differential methylation, indicating potential as a treatment avenue for medulloblastoma.

In this study, researchers identified the miR-22-3p/CLIC4 signaling pathway as a key regulator in hair follicle miniaturization among androgenetic alopecia models, suggesting that targeting CLIC4-mediated sonic hedgehog pathway disruption may offer new therapeutic strategies for AGA treatment.

This report describes a child and his father with hereditary hypotrichosis simplex, an uncommon isolated form of hair loss, with no other ectodermal or systemic abnormalities noted.
