This study found that ultrasonography improved preoperative diagnosis rates of pilomatricoma to 76% by identifying specific features such as inner echogenic foci and a peripheral hypoechoic rim.

This study documented the first confirmed infections of Trichophyton bullosum in donkeys in Africa, indicating equines as primary hosts and highlighting the potential underestimation of this pathogen's prevalence.

This study investigated pilomatrixoma, a benign skin tumor, and found that irregular expression of β-catenin and Lef-1 in transitional cells may contribute to amorphous debris and cyst formation.

This report describes two cases of monilethrix in Afghan siblings, detailing the hair disorder's clinical presentation and potential influences on hair growth, such as hormonal changes and iron supplementation.

This case report describes an eight-year-old Kashmiri boy diagnosed with monilethrix, a rare genetic hair disorder, characterized by a beaded appearance and fragility of the hair shaft.

In this case report, a 4-year-old Indian girl with linear and annular lupus panniculitis of the scalp achieved complete remission and hair regrowth with oral corticosteroids, showing no relapse after 6 months of follow-up.

This case study described the diagnosis of a trichofolliculoma in a 56-year-old woman, emphasizing its dermoscopic features and histological aspects that confirmed the tumor type, with no recurrence observed after excision.

In this case report, a rare pilar cyst was found in the left temporal region of a 75-year-old male, highlighting the potential for such cysts to mimic temporal space infections and complicate treatment plans.

This study identified and described a new form of alopecia termed "macular alopecia," predominantly affecting young Hispanic/Latinx females, characterized by small macules on the scalp with a high rate (63%) of spontaneous resolution in about five months.

This article reviews genetic mutations linked to monilethrix, a hereditary hair disorder, and reports no new clinical findings on the condition's variability in symptoms and severity.

This study reports that the DMI3 gene, essential for nodule formation in legume-rhizobial symbiosis, encodes a calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase, highlighting its role in multiple plant symbioses.

In this case report, a 16-year-old boy diagnosed with lupus miliaris disseminatus faciei showed improvement in facial granulomatous lesions with scarring after treatment with doxycycline, highlighting the potential need to explore treatment options for this condition characterized by asymptomatic papules on the central face.

This study found that multiple eccrine duct dilation is highly specific for diagnosing cicatricial alopecia and may indicate scarring processes, aiding in accurate differential diagnosis from noncicatricial alopecias.

In this case report, the researchers highlighted the diagnostic challenge of Majocchi’s granuloma, a deep fungal infection that mimics other skin conditions and resists initial treatment, emphasizing the importance of considering it as a diagnosis even after failed topical antifungal therapies.

This study describes how arrector pili muscles form a single muscular structure shared by all hair follicles within a follicular unit at the isthmus level in scalp skin.

This study described the structure of the hair brush on male Endoclita vietnamensis moths' legs, identifying characteristics such as specialized scales and a pheromone gland, which could facilitate the future development of pheromone-based pest control methods for eucalyptus pests in China.

This case report highlights the rare co-occurrence of Pili Annulati and Trichorrhexis Nodosa in a Syrian woman, underlining the need for further research into their relationship and treatment.

This study found that the weak tensile strength of pili torti hair may result from loose keratin intermediate filaments due to abnormalities in disulfide bonds.

In this case report, a Danish family with monilethrix showed varying symptoms, diagnosed via dermatoscopy, microscopy, and gene sequencing. The study highlights that while no cure exists, oral minoxidil shows promise in a single case, and reducing hair trauma remains key for management.

This article discusses a case of an adult with acneiform follicular mucinosis that was controlled using systemic corticosteroids and reports no new findings.

In this study, LC-OCT imaging was found to noninvasively identify specific features of cicatricial alopecia due to lupus erythematosus, such as hyperreflective collagen fibers, which may aid in distinguishing it from other types of scarring alopecia.

This case report describes a 50-year-old man with folliculotropic mycosis fungoides stage IB, noting trichoscopic findings like dilated follicular openings, black dots, and dystrophic hairs, which are less commonly documented in this condition, suggesting trichoscopy could aid in early diagnosis.

This study reports on eight previously unpublished cases of Bohring-Opitz syndrome with ASXL1 mutations, suggesting the importance of screening for Wilms tumors in these patients.

This study investigated the hair structure of wild pigs in the Balıkesir region using stereomicroscopy and scanning electron microscopy, finding distinct bifurcation patterns, but concluded that pig bristles used in brushes likely wouldn't retain these features, complicating species identification.

This study demonstrated that the FER/MLO signaling module regulates calcium dynamics and ROS accumulation in root hair growth, with the constitutively active MLO (faNTA) able to restore normal development and signaling in specific mutant genotypes, highlighting MLO15's role in root hair tip growth regulation.

Terrestrial vertebrates have balanced keratin gene clusters, unlike teleost fish.

In this case report, a 13-year-old girl with pilomatrixoma and mild polycystic ovarian changes was studied, but no direct correlation was found between the conditions, though shared hormonal and genetic factors suggest potential links warranting further research.

Tufted folliculitis is common in patients with folliculitis decalvans.

This study describes a new imaging platform for the adult Drosophila midgut, facilitating real-time observation of cell behaviors and dynamics involved in organ renewal.
