This review discusses the state-of-the-art knowledge on pseudoxanthoma elasticum, summarizing recent advancements in genetics, pathomechanisms, and potential treatments but reports no new clinical findings.

This study reports that treatment with X-rays or procarbazine induced dose-dependent mutations in melanocytes in mouse hair follicles, showing similar mutation rates to previous methods.

This meta-analysis found that the combination of topical minoxidil-finasteride was more effective than minoxidil alone in improving hair density, hair diameter, and global photographic assessment for male androgenetic alopecia, though larger standardized trials are needed to confirm long-term outcomes.

In this study, Mpzl3-/- mice developed severe seborrhea-like dermatitis with skin inflammation, indicating MPZL3's role in the skin condition's development, independent of adaptive immunity.

This study found that MRL/MpJ mice heal burn wounds with scar formation, experiencing delayed wound closure and impaired myofibroblast development, which contrasts with quicker contraction in BALB/c mice.

In this study, a novel electrochemical sensor using a molecularly imprinted polymer was developed for the sensitive detection of minoxidil, successfully measuring its concentration in real samples.

In this study, researchers observed that rhino mice exhibit significant ductal hyperkeratinization in the meibomian gland, which may represent the first naturally occurring disorder of this gland in mice.

This study found that MNX@Arg-CLAVs nanovesicles enhanced hair regeneration and reduced aging in hair follicles in AGA mice, with less skin irritation compared to traditional minoxidil tincture.

In this laboratory study, a novel minoxidil-loaded microneedle patch demonstrated potential for treating alopecia areata by promoting slow drug release and reducing application frequency, while exhibiting antibacterial properties to prevent infection during use.

This study observed that mink dermal collagen fibrils undergo structural changes during the hair cycle, with increased fiber thickness and bundle density as minks grow.

In this research, RNA expression analysis of scalp biopsies from lichen planopilaris patients revealed changes in specific genes after treatments with hydroxychloroquine, narrow band UVB, or low level laser light therapy, suggesting potential biomarkers and implicating M2 macrophages in the disease's immunopathogenesis.

This case report presents a 14-year-old girl with both type I diabetes and monilethrix, detailing her symptoms and treatment with topical minoxidil, while exploring a possible genetic link between the conditions.

This study investigated a spontaneous mutation in mice resulting in hair abnormalities and elevated IgE levels, which resembles human Netherton's syndrome and monilethrix.

This study observed defects in hair cuticle cross-linking in some, but not all, mouse mutants with sparse or structurally unsound hair.

This study found that a specific gene mutation was identified in a family with monilethrix, and treatment with 5% minoxidil liniment improved hair quality in the proband without adverse events.

This review synthesizes the diverse roles of the transcription factor LHX2 in development, tissue maintenance, and injury repair across various organ systems, highlighting its potential therapeutic applications and significance in regenerative medicine, particularly in developmental disorders and tissue regeneration.

This study found that the opioid system, particularly via the delta opioid receptor, broadly regulates cutaneous mechanosensation, including touch, and suggests targeting this receptor could alleviate injury-induced mechanical hypersensitivity.

This study demonstrated that mink hair growth and pelt quality significantly depend on dietary protein levels and DL-methionine supplementation during the growing-furring period.

In this study, researchers found that mouse digits without nails could not regenerate after amputation, highlighting the necessity of nails for fingertip regeneration and suggesting a potential role for the Lmx1b gene in this process.

This study in mice found that MEIS2 expression in mesenchymal dermal cells is crucial for the formation of whiskers and the initial steps of epithelial placode development, independently of sensory nerve innervation or Foxd1 expression.

This case report describes a rare instance of double-lined frontoparietal scleroderma en coup de sabre and suggests a genetic basis involving postzygotic mosaicism.

In this study, the researchers reported that chloramphenicol-loaded liposomes, particularly those incorporating deoxycholic acid, enhanced follicular uptake and showed strong antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, offering potential for treating MRSA-infected skin conditions with good skin biocompatibility and minimal toxicity.

In this study, researchers created a mutant mouse lacking the first cut repeat in the Cux/CDP protein, resulting in curly vibrissae and wavy hair, supporting the role of Cux/CDP's DNA binding domains in gene regulation during development.

This study found that overexpression of Hoxc13 in GC13 mouse models affects hair follicle differentiation by interacting with medulla-specific genes, particularly Foxq1, suggesting a regulatory pathway for medulla differentiation.

This study demonstrated a close anatomical relationship between Merkel cells and Langerhans cells in human hair follicles, suggesting potential functional interactions in the bulge area.

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.

Advanced imaging techniques are crucial for accurately diagnosing Monilethrix, a rare hair disorder.

In this study, researchers reported that hardshell capsules using the DiluCap® line of excipients demonstrated varying dissolution profiles under gastrointestinal-simulating conditions, with minoxidil and finasteride showing rapid release and melatonin and naltrexone displaying controlled release, indicating their suitability for different applications in compounding pharmacies.
