This study identified a novel I268T mutation in the vitamin D receptor that reduces its function, contributing to hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets, and found that a potent vitamin D analog could improve receptor function.

These guidelines review the management of complications and specific forms of congenital ichthyosis and report no new results; they summarize expert and evidence-based recommendations for clinicians.

This article reviews historical and recent developments related to toxic shock syndrome (TSS), emphasizing the increase in cases among young women using tampons, and calls for new research tools but does not report new results.

This study in mice demonstrated that stress or nerve growth factor injection increases sensory neuron activity related to skin innervation, suggesting a strong connection between stress perception and neurogenic skin inflammation.

This case report describes acute liver injury in a 5-year-old Caucasian girl after ingesting the Chinese herbal product Shou-Wu-Pian, suggesting a potential link between this unregulated herbal remedy and hepatotoxicity.

This study demonstrated that intact adult human dermal papillae can induce hair growth when implanted into mouse hair follicles, highlighting their potential for advancing hair follicle biology and therapeutic approaches.

New mutations in the hairless gene may cause hair loss and affect bone development.

This meta-analysis suggests that local injection of platelet-rich plasma for androgenic alopecia is associated with an increased number of hairs and some increase in hair thickness, though larger studies are needed for confirmation.

This study identified 63 genetic loci associated with male-pattern baldness, uncovering genes and pathways that may help develop treatments and suggesting its connection to other human conditions.

This study found that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) inhibited hair shaft elongation and induced premature catagen development in cultured human hair follicles, partially through transforming growth factor β2.

This study suggests that the prevalence of alopecia areata in the US remains similar to high estimates from the 1970s, with significant implications for quality of life.

This study observed that higher prenatal androgen loads were associated with more severe alcohol dependence in male patients and linked to behaviors of pregnant women that may influence their children’s androgen exposure.

This study found that higher-dose fluconazole (400 mg/d) for two months or longer commonly causes reversible alopecia, which can be resolved by discontinuing or reducing the dosage.

This study reports that erythematous, infiltrated plaques can develop in patients receiving subcutaneous heparin therapy, indicating a possible delayed hypersensitivity reaction to heparin or its constituents.

This study found that the restoration of CD103⁺γδ T cells in humans is associated with sustained remission in inflammatory bowel disease, suggesting a conserved role for these cells in limiting disease progression.

This study found that AR/VDR-targeted agonist hormone therapy can inhibit cell viability in HR2-av triple-negative breast cancer cell lines through multiple mechanisms and may enhance the effects of chemotherapy.

This study found that male pattern baldness in European males is strongly heritable and associated with genetic markers linked to earlier puberty, bone density, and pancreatic function.

Alopecia areata severity is linked to increased TH1 and TH2 activity.

This review discusses the development and application of multiphoton microscopy in dermatology, highlighting its advantages and potential future research directions without reporting new clinical results.

This review discusses the differentiation and reprogramming capabilities of both hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic stem cells and their significance for regenerative medicine; it reports no new experimental results.

This study found that Atlantic croaker nuclear androgen receptors AR1 and AR2 have different binding affinities for androgens, suggesting that they may mediate distinct physiological actions in teleosts.

This genome-wide association study identified 71 genetic loci linked to male pattern baldness, with 30 novel loci, explaining 38% of the risk and suggesting shared pathways with lifespan and cancer traits.

This study found that people with systemic lupus erythematosus consulted primary care more frequently and with specific clinical features before diagnosis, and it developed a risk prediction model that may help in identifying at-risk individuals.

This study found that the SRD5A2 A49T A variant is associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer, lower circulating 3α‐diolG levels, and a decreased risk of baldness.

This study found that CNGC 6, CNGC 9, and CNGC 14 are crucial for maintaining calcium oscillations necessary for normal root hair growth in plants, with mutations leading to defects like swelling and bursting.

Growth factors can either promote or inhibit hair follicle cell growth and collagen breakdown.

This study evaluated the feasibility of a single-center, three-arm trial to assess fat grafting with or without PRP for diabetic foot ulcers, finding high patient engagement and indicating that a multi-center trial could be safe and feasible.

This study identified five mutations in the gene LSS in individuals with unexplained hypotrichosis simplex, highlighting a potential role of mislocalized LSS proteins in disrupting hair follicle biology.

This study found that ethanol-containing formulations significantly increased minoxidil retention in the stratum corneum and appendages initially, while a propylene glycol-rich formulation enhanced deeper skin penetration over time.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata had significantly lower T cell numbers and reduced lymphocyte responses compared to healthy controls, correlated with hair loss severity and presence of antithyroid antibodies.
