This study identified multiple genetic variants in Pakistani families with oculocutaneous albinism, including two novel variants, enhancing understanding of its genetic basis and aiding better management and counseling.

Elkonyxis, a rare nail condition, improved when patients stopped their nail-picking habits.

This study found that greater root surface area due to root hairs contributed to better growth and zinc uptake of wild-type barley compared to its root-hairless mutant in zinc-deficient soil.

This study found that wool fiber surfaces damaged in processing tended to have cellular debris adhering to them, while undamaged surfaces did not show this interaction.

This report identified longitudinal grooves in the hair shafts of four children, diagnosing them with uncombable-hair syndrome.

This study found that palmoplantar pustulosis patients exhibited oral dysbiosis, particularly among those with pustulotic arthro-osteosis, as compared to healthy controls.

This study observed that 30.1% of older adults had nail changes, predominantly affecting the lower limbs, and hair disorders were less common, with alopecia being the only type recorded.

This study found that the K6/ODC transgenic mouse model is highly sensitive to identifying genotoxic carcinogens, showing 100% concordance with traditional rodent bioassays.

This study suggests that variations in α-keratin proteins influence the structure and characteristics of wool fibers, indicating that keratin genes could serve as useful markers for identifying different wool traits.

This study explores how cultural perceptions of hair used in art have evolved from the Victorian Era to now, analyzing theories of disgust and abjection, and highlighting hair art's historical ties to death and mourning.

This study found that irregular menstrual cycles in Brazilian adolescents were significantly associated with a higher occurrence of metabolic syndrome and polycystic ovary syndrome indicators.

This study found that the vertex/occiput ratios of hair density and diameter in prepubertal children may serve as reference values to identify androgenetic alopecia with high probability.

This study introduced a viscoelastic dry electrode that successfully reduces motion artifacts in EP monitoring on hairy skin, maintaining stable performance for up to 48 days.

In this study, researchers conducting a genome-wide association study on 263 adult female goats identified significant genomic variants linked to coarse hair diameter, particularly emphasizing a crucial region on Chromosome 10. These findings enhance understanding of the genetic factors influencing fiber diameter in goats.

This study found that ATM protein plays a crucial role in protecting human hair follicle melanocytes from oxidative stress, which is linked to the greying of hair.

This article reports electron microscope studies on the structure of hair and wool, but it does not present new clinical findings.

Rat hair follicle stem cells have functional oxytocin receptors, useful for studying neuropsychiatric disorders.

This study observed significant differences in oxytocin receptor expression and stem cell migration in a valproic acid-induced rat model of autism, with male rats showing notably reduced oxytocin receptor expression compared to their normal counterparts, highlighting potential gender differences in susceptibility to autism-related brain disturbances.

In this study, injecting chimeric RNA–DNA oligonucleotides into mice skin caused a temporary mutation in keratin 17, altering hair morphology, but the mutation was transient due to genetic compensation or cell replacement.

This case report describes a novel mutation in the CDH3 gene in an 11-year-old Iranian boy with sparse scalp hair and macular dystrophy, leading to altered P-cadherin synthesis.

This study found that the loss of transcription factor Ovol2 in epidermal and hair follicle stem cells leads to migration defects, which are partially improved by deleting the EMT-inducing Zeb1.

This abstract reports no new research findings; it includes an educational image of microorganisms found in a skin biopsy.

This article discusses the characteristics and challenges of treating ulerythema ophryogenes, noting the limited effectiveness of emollients, vitamin A, retinoids, and transient response to corticosteroids, with some success using dye laser therapy.

This study reports that oxytocin receptor expression in keratinocytes shows a potential relationship with touch sensory neurons, suggesting a role in skin sensitivity and the broader function of sensory neurons.

This review highlights essential preoperative assessments for ophthalmologists and non-oculo-facial surgeons performing upper facial rejuvenation, emphasizing the importance of understanding ocular and periocular anatomy to achieve both cosmetic and functional improvements.

This study found that methylene blue staining may reveal anatomical details of intraepidermal nerve fibre endings in the rat mystacial pad with greater clarity than the zinc iodide-osmium tetroxide technique.

This study highlights the role of Orai1 in ameloblast differentiation and maturation, showing that its down-regulation affects cell proliferation and enamel formation during tooth development.

This study found that ethanol extract of fragrant pandanus leaves inhibited the growth of the dandruff-causing fungus Pityrosporum ovale, with higher concentrations showing greater inhibitory effects.

In this study, researchers investigated the prevalence and types of skin diseases among elders at a medical facility in India, finding that generalised pruritus, seborrheic keratosis, and fungal infections were common, while education on proper skin care may help reduce these conditions.
