In this report, two adult cases of tinea capitis with unusual symptoms like pustules and non-scarring alopecia were diagnosed based on clinical and pathological findings, and successfully treated with oral Griseofulvin and topical luliconazole cream.

This article provides an overview of how dermoscopy can aid in the noninvasive diagnosis of various general dermatological disorders, grouped by clinical presentation, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses trichoscopic features of hair disorders in individuals with dark skin phototypes and reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize the need for more specific diagnostic criteria for these populations.

This study presented a case of tinea capitis in a 4-year-old without typical symptoms and traced the infection to Microsporum canis carried by domestic cats, highlighting the need for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment, especially in households with pets.

This case report describes two siblings with gray patch tinea capitis, highlighting exposure to cats and inappropriate corticosteroid use as risk factors, and treatment with griseofulvin and terbinafine.

A gene called APCDD1, which controls hair growth, is found to be faulty in a type of hair loss called hereditary hypotrichosis simplex.

This review examines the adaptive value and mechanisms of seasonal coat colour moulting in birds and mammals, highlighting the challenge of camouflage mismatch and the necessity for evolutionary adaptation under climate change.

This article reviews recent advancements in understanding skin stem cells and their roles in maintaining epidermal homeostasis and repairing wounds, without presenting new experimental findings.

This meta-analysis suggests that local injection of platelet-rich plasma for androgenic alopecia is associated with an increased number of hairs and some increase in hair thickness, though larger studies are needed for confirmation.

This review discusses the potential of adipose-derived tissue components like nanofat and stem cells for aesthetic rejuvenation, covering their use in hair growth, scar reduction, and more, without reporting new clinical results.

Genes and hormones cause hair loss, with four genes contributing equally.

This review discusses the embryonic origins and characteristics of various stem cell populations in the skin, but it provides no new experimental results.

This meta-analysis reported that platelet-rich plasma injections for androgenetic alopecia may increase hair number and thickness locally, but further studies are needed to establish their overall effectiveness.

This article discusses various skin pattern formations, their molecular mechanisms, and highlights the need for further understanding to connect molecular biology with organism phenotypes, without providing new clinical findings.

This review discusses the modest efficacy of home-use laser and light devices for conditions like hair removal and acne, noting limited evidence and a lack of robust trials.

This study identified 14 genes affected by copy number variants that may contribute to alopecia areata, including four genes notably involved in autophagy and chromatin remodeling.

This review discusses the migration and colonization of melanocytes from the neural crest in mammals and reports no new experimental results.

This study reports that dynamic interactions between stem cells and their niche, influenced by macro-environmental factors, regulate regenerative behavior in integument pattern formation.

This study evaluated new aqueous gel formulations of minoxidil without irritants and found that the calcium alginate gel showed the best performance in terms of drug release and skin permeation.

This review discusses current and emerging therapeutic strategies for androgenetic alopecia, noting limited evidence but suggesting areas such as prostaglandin analogs, PRP, and progenitor cell therapies as promising future directions.

This study identified KRT82 as a significant Alopecia Areata risk gene, finding that rare damaging variants are linked to elevated immune cell infiltration around hair follicles in affected individuals.

In this study, re-activating SOX9 in adult epidermal stem cells led to a fate switch towards hair follicle stem cell identity, with altered chromatin dynamics and oncogenic activation, contributing insights into developmental processes and cancer pathways.

This study suggests that low proliferation rates in bald areas of androgenetic alopecia patients, along with persistent inflammatory infiltrate, may lead to follicular miniaturization and fibrosis.

SA linked to mitochondrial issues and oxidative stress, while AGA involves disrupted hair growth genes.

This study found that Piezo2 channels are primarily located on sensory axon membranes in mechanosensory end organs, supporting a model where mechanical stimuli activate Aβ RA-LTMR neurons via axon protrusions.

Hair follicle samples effectively show how well the drug MK-0752 targets and engages with the Notch pathway.

This study found that stem cells can temporarily act as non-professional phagocytes during hair cycle regeneration by clearing apoptotic cells through a process requiring local lipids and retinoids for activation, providing insights into their dual role in maintaining tissue integrity.

In this study, researchers used an evolutionary-rate-based method to identify genetic elements associated with reduced hair in mammals, finding a dichotomy between accelerated coding sequences and noncoding regulatory elements influencing hair growth.

In this study, researchers analyzed skin tissues from two types of Jinlan Cashmere Goats and identified crucial non-coding RNA mechanisms potentially impacting cashmere yield, revealing significant DE lncRNAs, mRNA expressions, and pathways relevant to cashmere quality improvement.

This article discusses the perspectives of clinicians and patients on alopecia areata, an autoimmune disorder with significant psychosocial impacts, highlighting the unpredictability and limited effectiveness of current treatments as well as the key unmet needs and gaps in care.
