This study found that early-onset patients with alopecia universalis or a family history of alopecia areata showed worse prognosis compared to those with late-onset.

This study suggests that female patients with alopecia areata, especially those with nail abnormalities and atopic diseases, may have higher rates of coexisting autoimmune diseases.

This study found that iron therapy improved nonhematological symptoms and cognitive function in women with iron deficiency anemia, highlighting the need for attention to these symptoms in improving quality of life.

This study identified dose levels of selenium that can produce toxicity, noting that doses as low as 2-3 µg Se/kg bw/day can lead to adverse effects, and a human mortality study linked 300 µg/day consumption to increased death risk.

This study reveals that transglutaminase activity is widespread in integumentary structures of mammals and birds, suggesting it plays a significant role in the cornification of hard skin appendages like nails and feathers.

In this study, a community pharmacy-based intervention in Serbia was associated with significant improvements in clinical symptoms for patients with post-COVID syndrome.

This study reports a case where a 13-year-old boy's hair texture changed to resemble his early childhood hair after regrowth from alopecia areata, with potential causes remaining uncertain.

This study introduced the Lichen Planus Activity and Damage Index (LiPADI), which effectively assesses the severity and progression of lichen planus, aligning well with other clinical indicators.

Focal palmoplantar callosities may help diagnose non-Herlitz junctional epidermolysis bullosa.

This study identifies various nail changes in alopecia areata, which can affect quality of life, and suggests that while spontaneous improvement is possible, further research is needed to refine treatment strategies.

This study describes a family where a TP63 mutation was linked with prominent alopecia and mild ectodermal dysplasia features.

This case report describes a 2-year-old boy with uncombable hair syndrome-like hair changes that resolved spontaneously after 9 months, with genetic analysis revealing a PLCD1 gene variant.

This documentation reviews the absorption, metabolism, and excretion of selenium and its compounds, highlighting the complex interactions and health implications, but reports no new clinical results.

Oral collagen improves skin, nails, hair, and reduces cellulite.

This review discusses the dual role of selenium in human health, highlighting both the dangers of deficiency and potential toxicity from over-supplementation, without presenting new clinical results.

This study in a nine-year-old boy from Lebanon identified a gene mutation (c.1066dup p.(Arg356Profs*16)) associated with a rare inborn error of immunity, characterized by craniosynostosis, jaundice, and several other symptoms, expanding the known genotypic and phenotypic spectrum of this condition.

This expert consensus statement highlights that while targeted cancer therapies significantly improve patient survival, they often result in various skin toxicities, underscoring the need for early diagnosis, management, and multidisciplinary care to maintain patients' quality of life and ensure treatment continuity.

This case report describes a patient with Clouston syndrome who developed squamous cell carcinoma, highlighting the need for regular follow-up in patients with chronic paronychia that do not respond to conventional treatments.

Corticosteroids improved symptoms in a man with Cronkhite-Canada Syndrome.

In this review, the authors discuss how hair may protect against scalp skin cancer by enabling IL-17-biased immunosurveillance, while hair loss could permit tumor development by reducing this immune protection.

This study found that higher expression of the Hoxc13 gene in specific areas of hair follicles is associated with longer wool length in Gansu alpine fine-wool sheep.

Matriptase is crucial for skin barrier, hair growth, and may contribute to skin cancer.

This study found that deleting the miRNA processing enzymes Drosha and Dicer from mouse skin epithelial cells disrupted normal hair follicle development and maintenance, leading to follicular degradation and stem cell loss during the growth phase.

This study found that Krtap11-1 may play an important role in keratin-bundle assembly in the hair cortex, influencing the physical properties of hair.

In this study, researchers found that the FoxN1, FoxE1, and FoxI3 genes are likely involved in hair follicle growth and development in cashmere goat fetuses.

This study in mutant mice found that Bmpr2 and Acvr2a are individually redundant, but together essential for normal hair follicle development, with their reduction causing rapid hair cycling and graying.

This review discusses the role of stem cells and tissue engineering in regeneration and transplantation, emphasizing the need for advanced technologies to improve treatments for injuries and disabilities, but reports no new results.

This study found that ovine dermal papilla cells exhibit robust aggregation and alkaline phosphatase activity, regulated by Wnt/β-catenin signaling, providing insights for improving wool performance and hair regeneration therapies.

This review discusses the potential efficacy and applications of platelet-rich plasma in dermatology, highlighting its use in various skin conditions but reporting no new clinical results; the authors call for standardization of preparation and treatment methods.

This study found that manipulating Wnt/β-catenin signaling in embryonic mammary glands impacted their development, with high activity levels hindering branching and potentially redirecting cells toward hair follicle identity instead of mammary tissue.
