This report describes a case of two sisters with kinky, tangled hair diagnosed using trichoscopic and microscopic methods; they were treated with topical minoxidil.

This study found that Demodex mites may transport Microsporum canis spores on human skin, suggesting a potential role in microbial movement despite typically being considered harmless.

Mutations in the hHb6 gene cause the hair disorder monilethrix.

Artificially inducing hair regrowth in mice can change the normal pattern and timing of hair growth, with minimal color differences between old and new fur.

This case study reports that moth-eaten alopecia and a macular rash, along with positive histopathology and serology tests, indicated a diagnosis of secondary syphilis in a 24-year-old male patient.

This study found that BAF200, a subunit of the PBAF chromatin remodeling complex, is crucial for heart development and coronary artery formation in mice, as its absence led to embryonic lethality with severe cardiac defects.

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.

This study found that an adult female farm-raised blue fox exhibited an abnormal hair growth cycle and seasonal estradiol variation, with a delayed winter coat cycle resulting in spring shedding.

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 study shows that multiphoton microscopy can non-invasively distinguish scarring from non-scarring alopecia by identifying specific morphological features in hair follicle structures.

This study found that feather patterning is primarily self-organizing and dynamic, relying on both genetic and epigenetic controls, with implications for similar processes like fingerprints and pigmentation.

This review presents updated tables of mouse mutants with hair growth abnormalities to aid in understanding the molecular mechanisms of human hair disorders, but reports no new clinical results.

This study diagnosed an 11-year-old girl with initial androgenetic alopecia and monilethrix after observing unique hair shaft abnormalities and skin conditions, unlike her affected parents.

In this study, researchers examined the methylation patterns in the skin tissues of Alpine Merino sheep with varying wool fiber diameters, finding that specific methylated RNAs linked to the Wnt, Notch, and TGF-ẞ signaling pathways may influence fiber diameter and potentially improve wool quality.

This case report identified a 4-month-old boy with Menkes disease, a neurodegenerative disorder of copper metabolism, noting symptoms like recurrent seizures, developmental delay, and specific physical characteristics, confirmed by genetic sequencing showing a pathogenic ATP7A mutation and low serum copper and ceruloplasmin levels.

This study reports that melatonin influences gene expression related to cashmere growth cycles in Inner Mongolian cashmere goats, potentially aiding in understanding and enhancing cashmere yield through molecular regulation.

This study identified a novel heterozygous missense mutation in the hHb3 gene associated with monilethrix, highlighting its role in this hair disorder.

In this study, the researchers found that female Pieris brassicae butterflies have more "B-type" chemoreceptory hairs on their forelegs, which may be involved in selecting oviposition sites through detecting mustard oil glucosides.

In this study, researchers describe a rare case of trichoepitheliomas in a 7-year-old boy, characterized by multiple skin lesions in a Blaschko-linear pattern, hypothesizing it as a type 1 segmental mosaicism without detected CYLD gene mutations.

This study developed the mTurquoise2-Col4a1 mouse model and used fluorescent tagging of collagen IV to offer new insights into basement membrane dynamics during hair follicle budding, revealing that basement membranes are flexible and stable structures in developing skin tissue.

This review discusses the conserved molecular mechanisms controlling hair follicle development and cycling and suggests they may also apply to other ectodermal derivatives, like teeth and feathers, but it reports no new results.

This study reports that the loss of the protein Memo in mice leads to a reduced lifespan and suggests that Memo is a key regulator of FGFR signaling and vitamin D production.

This study identified specific miRNAs and mRNAs involved in the development of secondary hair follicles in cashmere goats, particularly noting a targeted relationship between chi-miR-30e-5p and DLL4.

This review discusses the use of aesthetic treatments for medical purposes and their therapeutic potential but provides no new clinical results.

This case report highlights the complexity of lupus erythematosus/lichen planus overlap syndrome, noting a high potential for progression to systemic lupus erythematosus.

Persistent papular plaques on children's faces need better understanding and treatment.

This study identified the c.1204G to A (p.E402K) mutation in the hHB6 gene as a cause of monilethrix in a Chinese family, highlighting the gene's role in the condition.

This study found that misexpression of Hoxc8 in mice led to ectopic mammary development and suggests Hox genes may play crucial roles in the regional specification and initiation of cutaneous accessory organs.

This report presents a case of a seven-year-old girl with porokeratotic adnexal ostial nevus manifesting as hyperkeratotic verrucous papules on her left foot.

In this study, researchers observed that mice with the naked gene showed frequent absence of hair cuticle and cortical cells during follicle growth, with abnormal keratin deposition also noted.
