In this study, researchers demonstrated that the expression of the oncogene SmoM2 leads to basal cell carcinoma in the ear epidermis of mice but not in the back skin, with differences in susceptibility linked to the composition of the extracellular matrix.

In this mouse study, NF-κB was shown to play a role in hair follicle cycling and morphogenesis, with specific activity patterns differing by hair type and involving noncanonical signaling for zigzag hair bending.

This study found that measuring cortisol in human hair can reflect increased cortisol production for up to six months, with the highest concentration in hair closest to the scalp.

This study found no significant association between selected gene variants and female pattern hair loss, suggesting these genes might not be involved in its development.

This study observed a potential association between the CC genotype of rs4646 and female pattern hair loss, but the authors advise caution due to lack of experiment-wide significance and recommend replication.

This study found that in mice, low-dose irradiation causes stem cells in hair follicles to undergo chromatin alterations, which may eventually lead to long-term functional loss in tissues or organs.

This study reports zinc and biotin deficiencies leading to hair loss and skin issues in a teenager after pancreaticoduodenectomy, highlighting the need for supplementation to prevent long-term damage.

In this study, subcutaneous recombinant human IL-12 showed a 43% partial response rate in early-stage mycosis fungoides patients refractory to previous treatments, with generally mild to moderate adverse events reported.

This study reported that heterozygous carriers of a mutation in the human hairless gene did not differ from healthy homozygotes in the pattern of androgenetic alopecia.

This article discusses the potential for topical caffeine as a natural alternative for treating androgenetic alopecia due to its ability to penetrate skin, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This article reviews the genetic research on male androgenetic alopecia, highlighting that over 300 associated risk variants have been identified, with unclear mechanisms of action.

This study observed that COVID-19 patients in Thailand infected with the Delta variant were more likely to develop pneumonia and certain post-infection conditions, while Omicron infections were associated with milder symptoms like sore throat and congestion.

This study found that hair sample weight was a better predictor of hair cortisol concentration than hair protein concentration, suggesting that using the standard cortisol-to-weight ratio is more suitable for measuring cumulative cortisol activity in scalp hair.

In this study, a specific SNP in the A2M gene of Murrah buffaloes was significantly associated with increased fat production and higher fat and protein percentages in milk.

A method was developed to grow hair follicles in a lab for research on hair growth and health.

This case report from Tishreen Hospital describes the rare presentation of lupus erythematosus tumidus and autoimmune thyroid dysfunction as initial manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis for better outcomes.

This review concluded that WS PRO 160 I 120 mg, a herbal preparation, may be an effective and safer alternative to standard drugs for treating lower urinary tract symptoms in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Women with premature ovarian insufficiency have a worse cardiovascular risk profile than premenopausal women.

In this study, 92% of HIV-infected patients had mucocutaneous manifestations, with oral candidiasis being the most common condition observed.

AUC and APL are distinct conditions needing careful clinical assessment.

In this study, researchers found that heterozygous carriers of a mutation in the hairless gene showed no difference in the pattern of androgenetic alopecia compared to unaffected individuals.

In this study, researchers found that CD4 is expressed on murine K5⁺ keratinocytes, and its expression is crucial for maintaining epidermal stem cell balance and wound repair capacity, particularly during aging.

This study described an Appenzeller Mountain Dog with clinical signs of an NSDHL defect, discovering a large heterozygous de novo deletion spanning the entire NSDHL gene through whole genome sequencing.

This review suggests that radiofrequency devices may be effective for both hair removal and growth, depending on the RF modality, but further research is needed to clarify their efficacy and mechanisms.

In this study, CD4+ non-haematopoietic, skin-resident stem cell-like populations were identified in both murine and human epidermis, suggesting they may serve as potential basal cell carcinoma precursors.

This study suggests that biallelic loss of the Hedgehog signaling repressor Patched alone in Keratin 5+ epidermal cells is insufficient to drive basal cell carcinoma development unless exogenous stimuli trigger accumulation of BCC precursor cells.

This review discusses the symptoms, causes, and treatment options for polycystic ovary syndrome and reports no new results; the authors highlight the role of lifestyle changes, medications, and fertility treatments.

In this study, lower serum adiponectin levels and altered lipid profiles were observed in patients with periorbital melanosis, suggesting an association with metabolic syndrome.

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.
