In this study, a novel heterozygous transition mutation in the KRT86 gene was identified, which may be pathogenic for monilethrix in a Chinese family.

This article discusses various hair and nail abnormalities linked to paraneoplastic conditions and cancer treatments, emphasizing their potential role in diagnosing and managing internal malignancies and reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that cupric chloride treatment may partially correct delayed maturation and abnormal arborization of Purkinje cells in the cerebellum of hemizygous brindled mice, a model for Kinky hair disease.

This study found that yellow dots and broken hairs were the most common dermatoscopic features of alopecia areata in children, while short vellus hairs were most frequent in adults, with nail changes related to disease severity for both groups.

This article describes the first documented case of acquired uncombable hair syndrome in a 39-year-old woman, contributing to the understanding of this rare condition.

In this study, adult albino rats on a vitamin A deficient diet developed ocular symptoms like xerophthalmia and photophobia within four weeks, without showing loss of dark adaptation.

In this study using mice, simultaneous deficiencies in claudin-1 and claudin-3 were associated with hair loss and altered hair follicle architecture during the telogen phase, suggesting a role in hair retention.

This case study reports on an 11-year-old boy with woolly hair nevus, featuring twisted hair shafts and an abnormal hair cuticle, alongside epidermal nevi on his face and back.

In this study, researchers observed that fasting-induced molting in laying hens led to increased thyroid hormones, which may regulate feather molting by affecting hair follicle growth through specific signaling pathways, highlighting molecular changes during induced molting.

This abstract provides contact information for Dr. Ban Kamoona at the Medical University – Sofia and contains no research findings.

In this study, scalp biopsies from HJMD patients revealed histological similarities to chronic telogen effluvium and highlighted the role of CDH3 mutations disrupting normal hair cycles.

Hair changes could indicate neurological diseases and help monitor treatment.

This report presents a case of pili torti in a young girl with citrullinemia, a novel association not previously documented.

This article discusses monilethrix, a rare human hair dysplasia caused by mutations in hair keratins, but reports no new clinical findings.

This case study describes a 27-year-old woman with alopecia mucinosa that persisted for 20 years despite multiple treatments, including steroids and antihistamines.

This study identified dynamic changes in DNA methylation associated with different growth stages in Tan sheep, which may offer insights to retain their valuable curly fleece as they age.

This review discusses the clinical manifestations and genetic basis of pigmentary mosaicism, highlighting its varied phenotypic expressions, but reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes a 68-year-old woman with benign mucous membrane pemphigoid and unusual keratotic plaques on her extremities, associated with longstanding mouth and eye symptoms and phalangeal swelling.

Hair shaft changes may be linked to CCCA, but their role is unclear.

This study observed increased metallothionein expression in regenerating liver and hyperplastic mouse skin, suggesting a potential role in cellular proliferation and differentiation.

This case report describes an 11-month-old boy with Menkes disease, highlighting symptoms such as developmental delays and poor therapeutic response due to significant brain and vascular abnormalities.

New hair after alopecia areata can be thinner and change color but usually keeps the same shape.

This letter to the editor discusses the use of systemic minoxidil for loose anagen hair syndrome, noting a significant change in hair color, but reports no new study results.

In this study, Msx2-deficient mice showed progressive hair loss due to shortened anagen phase and prolonged catagen and telogen phases, resulting in cyclic alopecia with structurally abnormal hair shafts.

This report describes a case of halo scalp ring, a pattern of transient alopecia in infants, which resolved without treatment over 17 months.

This study described three cases of follicular mucinosis and observed that one case responded rapidly to systemic corticosteroids, suggesting a potential therapeutic effect.

This study is the first to report major spontaneous diseases in aging Julia Creek dunnarts, highlighting hormonal dysregulation and lymphoid neoplasia as common conditions in this endangered species.

This study concluded that coat damage in captive rhesus macaques is unlikely caused by parasitic, bacterial, or mycotic infections but may be linked to environmental or behavioral factors affecting hair growth.
