This study found that local refinement of hair follicles into higher order patterns can occur without the core planar cell polarity system, but global alignment with body axes requires its function throughout development and regeneration.

This case report presented a 52-year-old man with cutaneous focal mucinosis, exhibiting rare follicular induction of the epidermis, underscoring the importance of recognizing this association in differential diagnoses.

This study found that the prevalence of polycystic ovarian morphology among Thai women with PCOS was 55.2%, with no significant factors associated with its presence in univariate analysis.

This study found that patients with GERD and UCTD have significantly more frequent phenotypic and visceral markers than those with GERD alone, which should inform early diagnostic and treatment strategies.

This study examined the dermoscopic features of five patients with tuberous sclerosis and found that dermoscopy can differentiate characteristic cutaneous features from similar conditions, potentially aiding in earlier diagnosis when other symptoms are subtle or absent.

This case report describes the first observed instance of fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution in a child, suggesting the condition is not solely androgen dependent.

This review discusses the current role and challenges of compounding in dermatology without presenting new research results; the authors suggest its resurgence in practice despite pharmaceutical alternatives.

In the Ovulation and Menstruation Health Pilot Study, multimodal recruitment strategies effectively increased racial diversity and survey completion rates for studying menstrual disorders like PCOS.

This case report describes a 29-year-old woman diagnosed with both systemic lupus erythematosus and Graves' disease, illustrating the occurrence of autoimmune polyendocrine syndromes with specific combinations of autoimmune disorders.

This study suggests that coexisting LSS and TSPEAR variants might contribute to a complex phenotype of congenital hypotrichosis and ectodermal abnormalities in a child, and highlights the need for cautious interpretation of genotype-phenotype links and the potential value of broader genetic testing.

This study identified a shared gene signature in scarring alopecia subtypes, with increased mast cell presence, suggesting similar treatment approaches may be effective across these hair loss disorders.

Different factors help diagnose and treat hair loss accurately.

This paper explores the diverse patterns and social significance of Black hair, approaching it as an art form, mathematical pattern, and ethnomathematic entity, and seeks to dispel myths while highlighting its vast possibilities.

In this case report, a 38-year-old woman with lifelong monilethrix and progressive frontal scalp thinning associated with androgenetic alopecia highlights the diagnostic and management challenges when these hair conditions coexist.

This study found that Complementary and Alternative Medicine practitioners manage PCOS by addressing hormonal imbalances, improving fertility, and enhancing quality of life, incorporating emotional and lifestyle support alongside specific therapies.

In this study, researchers developed a composite electrospun dressing with fiber gradient changes that mimics skin's natural structure, demonstrating enhanced wound healing, collagen deposition, and reduced fibrosis and scarring in both in vitro and in vivo experiments.

This retrospective study of 1604 alopecia areata cases reported 13 instances of a potentially new hair regrowth pattern, termed the "androgenetic-like pattern".

This study found that scanning electron microscopy with argon sputter etching visualizes hair lipids at the cell membrane complex as distinctive convex structures, shedding light on their role and localization in human hair.

This case report details an unusual instance of multiple eruptive milia in an otherwise healthy 3-month-old baby, characterized by widespread distribution and believed to be idiopathic due to the absence of associated genodermatoses.

This study developed a biocompatible hair-dyeing technology using a dark polyphenol complex, which demonstrated effective hair coating, improved mechanical strength, and strong antioxidant properties while maintaining high cell viability.

In this study, chemotherapy-induced alopecia in cancer patients showed specific trichoscopic patterns and abnormal hair shaft morphology, suggesting intermittent follicle damage from chemotherapy, but larger studies are needed for confirmation.

This study found that pilomatricomas exhibit co-expression of hair keratin hHa5 and HOXC13 in lower transitional cells, but lack LEF1 and β-catenin co-expression necessary for canonical Wnt signaling pathway-controlled cortical differentiation.

This article introduces the term "anisotrichosis" to describe the significant variation in hair shaft diameters observed in pattern alopecia, drawing a parallel to anisocytosis seen in blood smears, but reports no new research findings.

This study on feather pattern formation in chicken skin found that inhibiting gap junctional intercellular communication can lead to the emergence of new feather buds in specific spatial patterns, suggesting that GJIC may facilitate Turing-type periodic patterning by propagating inhibitory signals over long distances.

This study identified key dermoscopic features in folliculotropic mycosis fungoides patients, showing that dilation of follicular openings and spiky follicular keratosis are specific indicators of follicular involvement, potentially aiding in diagnosis, classification, and treatment decisions.

This review details how hydrogel composites play crucial roles in regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, and drug delivery systems, highlighting innovations in these applications and addressing challenges like bioactivity, biomechanical compatibility, and controlled drug release.

This article reviews pharmacologic treatments for pattern hair loss and emphasizes integrating them with surgical and nonmedical options, but it does not present new clinical findings.
