This article reviews keratosis follicularis squamosa, a keratinizing disorder predominantly found in the Japanese population, but reports no new clinical results.

Researchers found a new area on chromosome 2 linked to a genetic hair loss condition.

This case report describes a 46,XY female patient with a novel homozygous nonsense mutation in the LHCGR gene, highlighting the need for molecular analysis in disorders of sexual development.

This study strongly suggests that a distinct form of hereditary localized alopecia in a Chinese family is linked to a novel locus on chromosome 2p25.1–2p23.2.

This study identified a novel locus for hereditary hypotrichosis simplex on chromosome 13q12.12~12.3 in a four-generation Chinese family.

This study introduced a novel in vitro assay for tracking melanosome transfer between melanocytes and keratinocytes, facilitating the quantification of melanin transfer and supporting the role of filopodia as a conduit.

This study suggests that the androgen receptor locus on the X chromosome may play a role in the pathogenesis of early-onset female pattern hair loss.

This study identified major criteria including ectodermal malformations for diagnosing ichthyosis with confetti, and revealed significant genetic variation in the disease locus within the general population.

This study on Antirrhinum trichomes found that stickiness in A. hispanicum is due to a recessive allele and mapped it to a specific region on Chromosome 1, while baldness in A. siculum likely involves a novel hairy allele.

This study found six new genetic factors linked to early-onset androgenetic alopecia and its association with increased risk of Parkinson's disease and decreased fertility.

In this study, researchers developed a novel genetic tool using Wif1-CreER knock-in mice for precise labeling and manipulation of dermal papilla cells, which could enhance understanding of hair biology and aid in developing targeted therapies for hair-related disorders.

This study identified three novel genetic loci associated with PCOS and found similar genetic architecture across different diagnostic criteria, with evidence suggesting genetic links between PCOS and various metabolic and psychological traits.

Among families with pediatric brain disease, this study identified over 200 novel genetic causes, revealing potential treatment points using drug repurposing or nutritional supplementation.

This paper discusses advancements in forensic hair analysis, emphasizing a novel DART–HRMS method that improves the accuracy and efficiency of detecting drug use timelines.

In this study, researchers identified 18 genetic associations with scalp and facial hair traits in Latin Americans, including novel loci for hair greying and balding, with implications for understanding hair evolution.

This genome-wide association study identified 20 genetic signals at 15 risk loci related to severe acne, revealing new insights into its genetic predisposition, particularly affecting skin structure and maintenance.

This review outlines various non-rash skin toxicities associated with novel targeted anticancer therapies and provides guidelines for their early diagnosis and management, but reports no new clinical results.

This study reports the first familial case of alopecia linked to a novel homozygous variant in the DSP gene, which did not coincide with heart abnormalities despite prior associations.

A gene called APCDD1, which controls hair growth, is found to be faulty in a type of hair loss called hereditary hypotrichosis simplex.

This study reports that transgene insertion in homozygous transgenic mice causes irreversible hair loss and impaired immune function, linked to interruption of the hairless locus on Chromosome 14.

Humans lost body hair relatively recently in evolution.

This study identified a genetic locus associated with idiopathic scoliosis in females, which might influence spinal gene expression and was previously linked to protection from early-onset alopecia.

This study analyzed skin from 538 knockout mouse mutants and identified 50 with epidermal phenotypes, providing valuable insights into genetic conditions and systemic effects related to skin abnormalities.

This review examines around 68 plant sources from six major plant families, assessing their scientific rationale and use by the cosmeceutical industry for applications like anti-ageing and sun protection.

No link found between new male baldness genes and female hair loss.

This review discusses the evolution of alopecia areata treatments towards more targeted therapies and reports no new clinical results, emphasizing cooperation between clinicians and scientists in understanding the disease's pathophysiology.

This study found no association between W locus allele variations and phenotypic traits like eye color, head spotting, and fur length in Turkish Van cats, suggesting other genetic factors should be explored.

TP0427736 may help treat hair loss by blocking a specific protein and promoting hair growth.
