This study observed that while topical drug therapy for erosive pustular dermatosis rarely leads to complete resolution, surgery may achieve remission in male patients.

This overview discusses primary cicatricial alopecias, focusing on lichen planopilaris, and highlights the challenges in treatment and the progressive nature of hair loss despite symptom management, without providing new clinical results.

This study found that CRABP1, Nestin, and Ephrin B2 are expressed in both the tumor stroma and invasive front of skin adnexal tumors and basal cell carcinomas.

In this study, researchers re-evaluated biopsies from elderly patients with erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp and identified plasma cell and lymphocyte infiltrates as key histological indicators for diagnosis, observing that high-potency topical steroids effectively healed the lesions.

In this case study, a 7-year-old boy with kerion celsi experienced persistent inflammation even after microbiological clearance; dermoscopic-guided removal of hair and keratin debris improved his condition, suggesting a novel inflammatory mechanism involving granulomatous response to keratinous debris in tinea capitis.

This study found that acid and alkaline phosphatases serve different functions in Beagle dog skin, with ALP primarily involved in growth processes and ACP in phospholipid breakdown.

This study found that keratin K17 is induced in the suprabasal layer of psoriatic scalp epidermis during epidermal hyperproliferation, suggesting it is not specific to hair follicles.

This study suggests that interfollicular epidermal keratinocytes with stem-like features may serve as an alternative to follicular keratinocytes for hair regeneration by supporting hair follicle morphogenesis in vivo.

This report expands the known genetic mutations linked to monilethrix by identifying new patients with KRT83 mutations, confirming its role as a causative gene for this hair disorder.

This review discusses the role of PPAR-γ in the pathogenesis of primary cicatricial alopecia, including its involvement in lichen planopilaris and treatment trials using PPAR-agonists, and reports no new clinical results.

This study described seven male patients and six female carriers of keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans, highlighting distinct dermatological and ophthalmic markers including follicular hyperkeratosis and corneal dystrophy.

This study observed that keratose, derived from human hair, integrated well in mouse tissue and remodeled with collagen, suggesting potential as a non-toxic biomaterial for regenerative applications.

This study found that encapsulating dermal papilla spheroids in alginate hydrogel with extracellular matrix proteins increased alkaline phosphatase activity, suggesting an enhanced manipulation of dermal papilla activity.

This review discusses the clinical and trichoscopic features of lichen planopilaris and notes its potential underdiagnosis prior to hair transplant, but it reports no new findings.

This case report describes a twenty-year-old woman misdiagnosed with a sebaceous cyst that was actually pilomatrixoma, a benign skin lesion from hair matrix cells, confirmed by histopathology after excision.

This review discusses the role of keratins in maintaining epidermal structure and function and reports no new results; the authors emphasize the lack of rational therapies for skin disorders linked to keratin mutations.

This study suggests that the mechanical robustness of hair may be enhanced by the binding interactions of keratin-associated proteins, particularly KAP8.1, with intermediate filament proteins.

This study found that gelatin-resorcinol-formaldehyde caused peritoneal lesions and hair loss in rats and mice, indicating it is unsuitable for tubal occlusion and emphasizing the need for testing in multiple species before using compounds in humans.

This study observed that CIP/KIP proteins play a significant role in regulating cell cycle arrest and differentiation in human hair follicles, supporting hair growth and formation in the anagen phase.

This report presents the first known case of a proliferating hybrid cyst containing both epidermoid and trichilemmal components on the scrotum of a 44-year-old man.

This study found that AIRE, a usually nuclear protein, is expressed in the cytoplasm of human epidermal and follicular keratinocytes and associates with the intermediate filament protein cytokeratin 17, potentially impacting ectodermal abnormalities in APECED syndrome.

This study isolated and sequenced the complete gene rKAP4L1, which encodes a cysteine-rich hair keratin-associated protein in rabbit hair follicles.

This case report describes a 70-year-old kidney transplant recipient who developed a keratoacanthoma near an arteriovenous fistula after returning to hemodialysis and stopping immunosuppression.

This study found that keratinocyte stem cells in mouse skin are closely related to side population or BCRP1-positive cells based on their localization and marker expression.

This review synthesizes existing research on eyelid pilomatrixomas, highlighting the challenges in diagnosis and the importance of understanding their presentation and management strategies.

This study examined the expression patterns of various cytokeratins in the outer root sheath of human anagen hair follicles, noting distinct differentiation patterns and localization of keratin markers.

This article presents two cases of tinea capitis in postpubertal individuals highlighting the importance of early treatment to prevent scarring and permanent hair loss; it reports no new clinical results.

In this retrospective chart review, researchers found that keratinocyte carcinomas on the scalp and forehead of non-alopecic women occurred more frequently in the part line of the scalp, with basal cell carcinoma being more common than squamous cell carcinoma.
