This case report documents a rare association between atopic eczema and pili annulati in two siblings from north India, an unusual finding not previously reported in the literature.

This study examined the complex morphology of the cornified claw sheath in domesticated cats, uncovering structures and growth patterns that help maintain sharp claw tips essential for climbing and prey capture.

This article discusses the potential safety of platelet-rich plasma therapy for cicatricial alopecia but highlights that its effectiveness is still uncertain; no new empirical results are provided.

In this study, researchers conducted additional IHC staining on equine skin sections and found that collagen type III primarily labels the extracellular matrix, while anti-PDGFR-antibody staining highlights cells with long-shaped processes mainly arranged around hair follicles.

This study mapped 65 intermediate filament genes in the human genome, highlighting that the majority of keratin-related sequences are inactive pseudogenes, notably for keratins 8 and 18.

In this case study, researchers describe a rare instance of pilomatricoma with ossification in a 32-year-old woman, highlighting specific histopathological features and the role of bone morphogenic proteins and macrophages in its development.

This study reviewed 131 cases of White Piedra and found it predominantly affects young women, often asymptomatic, with the presence of hair nodules commonly linked to hair-related factors such as long hair and use of hair accessories.

This case report describes two instances of white piedra, a fungal hair infection, and notes successful treatment with oral itraconazole and topical ketoconazole in one patient.

This study found that methylprednisolone can block IgG-induced keratinocyte detachment in an animal model of pemphigus vulgaris, potentially by increasing the synthesis and modifying adhesion molecules.

The researchers recommend considering porokeratosis as a possible diagnosis for scalp lesions since accurate identification is crucial for management and new treatments like topical cholesterol/lovastatin show promising potential for treating porokeratosis.

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 analyzed the cornified envelope of epidermal proteins, finding keratins dominate, which may help explain the minimal impact of deleting genes for single envelope components in congenital ichthyosis.

This paper reviews plica polonica, a rare hair disorder linked historically to poor hygiene and now to severe self-neglect or medical conditions, and outlines various treatment and preventive strategies but reports no new findings.

This study reports a rare case of an epidermal cyst localized in the temporal bone, potentially as a complication of myringoplasty, marking only the fifth such report in English-language literature.

This study found that trichostasis spinulosa was present in some seborrheic keratoses, indicating they may partly originate from hair follicle cells.

A woman with Parry-Romberg syndrome developed new curly hair on one side of her scalp, a condition not previously linked to the syndrome.

This study identified a new cytokeratin, mK6irs, specifically expressed in the inner root sheath of mouse hair follicles, distinguishing it as a member of the type II cytokeratin family.

In this study, key histologic features such as mucinous perifollicular fibroplasia were identified to aid in the diagnosis of lichen planopilaris.

Pallister-Killian Syndrome is a complex genetic disorder requiring coordinated care and genetic counseling.

This study found that microencapsulated dermal papillae cells induced hair follicle regeneration in rat ears, differing from normal follicles in configuration, size, number, and differentiation degree.

This study found that Brandt's hedgehog has the thickest skin on its back and the thinnest on the cloacal region, with sebaceous and sweat glands primarily located in the nostril area.

This report describes a rare case of pseudopelade of Brocq in a 20-year-old male, emphasizing its unique presentation with scalp hair loss and mild itching.

This study suggests that keratin 9 expression in nonpalmoplantar keratinocytes can be induced by signals from palmoplantar fibroblasts, potentially enabling the use of nonpalmoplantar epidermis to treat palmoplantar wounds.

This article proposes an updated naming system for keratin-associated proteins and genes, aiming to improve data storage and retrieval by including species information and genetic variation.

This article reviews the characteristics, differential diagnosis, and management options for papular acantholytic dyskeratosis of the vulva, illustrated by a case of a 21-year-old patient, but reports no new clinical results.

In this research, most cases of mammary and extramammary Paget disease were reported to express PRAME, expanding the understanding of its presence in cutaneous epithelial tumors, though its diagnostic utility is limited by overlap with other conditions.

This article presents two cases of keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans and reviews its features, highlighting characteristic progression from keratosis pilaris in infancy to cicatricial alopecia in childhood.

In this case report, a 68-year-old Caucasian woman with Brunsting-Perry pemphigoid experienced scarring alopecia, which was effectively managed using intralesional betamethasone and topical mometasone furoate, suggesting this rare condition may be underdiagnosed in scarring alopecia cases.

People often underestimate hair loss severity, with fewer seeking treatment, and it's more distressing for women.
