This study analyzed trichoscopic features of discoid lupus erythematosus on the scalp in skin of color and found distinct patterns based on clinical morphology.

In this study, AMACO was found to be non-essential for the formation or function of anchoring cords in mice, despite its presence in the structure.

This report describes a patient with symptoms suggestive of both loose anagen hair syndrome and uncombable hair syndrome, adding to previous instances of overlapping features between these conditions.

This case report details a 56-year-old woman's diagnosis with an overlapping syndrome of dermatomyositis, systemic lupus, and secondary antiphospholipid syndrome, highlighted by purpura fulminans, treated successfully with immunosuppressants and plasmapheresis.

This research observed that combination therapy targeting different pathogenetic pathways is more effective than monotherapy in treating female pattern hair loss, offering a more aggressive treatment approach that can include modalities such as minoxidil, spironolactone, and finasteride.

This study presents a new classification of adult human scalp hair patterns based on high-resolution photographs, which may assist hair restoration surgeons and dermatologists in determining appropriate punch size for follicular unit extraction.

This study found that compound 2 from Polygonum multiflorum increased dermal papilla cell proliferation and vibrissa follicle hair-fiber length more effectively than minoxidil in vitro, suggesting potential for alopecia treatment.

This study reports the first cases of recessive KRT17-related pachyonychia congenita involving all ectodermal derivatives in seven members of two consanguineous Pakistani families.

In this study, researchers observed significant variations in the hierarchical structures of domestic cat hairs and whiskers, showing that local mechanical properties are influenced by the distribution and composition of internal granules and calcium enrichment along the hair's length.

Type I and Type II keratin chains can form heterodimers despite sequence differences.

This study identified 43 compounds in Platycladi Cacumen, including flavonoids, and found significant chemical variation in flavonoid content across different regions and processed products.

This case report describes a 15-year-old girl with features of Becker naevus syndrome, highlighting the importance of DNA analysis from skin to confirm the diagnosis after 9 years of symptoms.

Pallister-Killian Syndrome is a complex genetic disorder requiring coordinated care and genetic counseling.

This review discusses the challenges in diagnosing and managing polycystic ovary syndrome and highlights the need for an integrated, multidisciplinary healthcare model tailored to the diverse needs of women with PCOS; it reports no new clinical findings.

This case study describes a 40-year-old man diagnosed with pilotropic mycosis fungoides, a form of folliculotropic cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of hair follicles and eccrine glands.

This case report illustrates that fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution may be misdiagnosed as androgenetic alopecia due to similar hair loss patterns, but distinctive trichoscopic and histopathologic features help differentiate it.

In this case report, a 25-year-old female with Mixed Connective Tissue Disease presented unusual symptoms in a specific geographical region, prompting clinicians to approach diagnosis and management with caution due to potential severe complications such as pulmonary hypertension and renal crisis.

This study identified a novel KRT86 mutation associated with autosomal dominant monilethrix, expanding understanding of its genetic basis beyond known motifs.

This study found that female pattern hair loss was present in 12.5% of PCOS patients examined, with most cases in younger women, highlighting early detection and management importance.

This study conducted a genome-wide association meta-analysis using UK Biobank data to explore genetic correlations with perceived youthfulness, revealing traits linked to this perception among both male and female participants.

This study introduces an extended approach to the Bonferroni procedure that accounts for correlations among endpoints, aiming to improve test power while maintaining strong control of the family-wise type I error rate in clinical trials.

This study found that among mixed connective tissue disease patients in a tertiary care hospital in Pakistan, Raynaud phenomenon was the most common clinical feature, present in 80% of patients.

This study analyzed 24 Japanese cases of fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution and found a distinctive "parachute" hair loss pattern, emphasizing unique clinical characteristics potentially influenced by racial factors.

This study developed a new STR typing strategy for forensic casework, enabling the simultaneous analysis of 11 polymorphic systems, particularly useful for limited or degraded DNA samples such as telogen hair roots.

This report describes a rare case of multiple trichofolliculomas on the face, which clinically resembled multiple trichoepitheliomas.

This study found that microneedle delivery of Polygonum multiflorum extract led to earlier pigmentation and hair regrowth in mice with androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that Frizzled genes Fzd3 and Fzd6 are redundantly involved in controlling hair follicle polarity in mice, but operate through distinct mechanisms, highlighting their complex role in hair orientation.

This study explored the use of flower-inspired analogies in dermatology, highlighting how these vivid descriptions aid in diagnosing skin conditions by drawing parallels between clinical features and floral patterns, effectively blending scientific observation with artistic imagery.

This study used Mendelian randomization to explore associations between 1400 blood metabolites and female-pattern hair loss, finding 23 metabolites and 4 metabolic ratios linked to the condition, while identifying fructose/mannose metabolism as a significant pathway.
