This article reviews the clinical and diagnostic features of hair shaft disorders, emphasizing the role of structured patient assessments and the avoidance of hair trauma, but reports no new results.

This review examines the evolving understanding of lymphatic vessel development, emphasizing new cellular mechanisms and lineage diversity, while discussing experimental methods and identifying key knowledge gaps.

In this study, researchers found that contrary to expectations, keratin 10 domains did not reduce cell proliferation and instead increased tumor development in genetically modified mice.

Apremilast was not effective in treating moderate-to-severe alopecia areata.

This review explores the potential (neuro-)endocrine influences on hair follicle epithelial stem cell biology and emphasizes the need for more systematic research, but it provides no new empirical results.

This study found that most pathogenic HR mutants associated with atrichia with papular lesions had abolished corepressor activity due to defective interactions with histone deacetylases.

This study suggests that myotonic dystrophies may qualify as segmental progeroid disorders due to molecular and clinical similarities with typical progeroid syndromes.

In this study, hirsute women with normal or medically normalized testosterone levels experienced similar, though declining, hair reduction from both intense pulsed light and long-pulsed diode laser treatments over six months.

This study's meta-analysis reported that PRP injections significantly increased hair density compared to baseline and placebo in androgenetic alopecia patients, supporting its use as a beneficial treatment.

This study found that while cyclophosphamide remains effective for severe autoimmune conditions, it is associated with gastrointestinal side effects, infections, some cases of irreversible amenorrhoea, and a higher risk of malignancies, emphasizing the need for long-term monitoring.

This study found that topical melatonin solution was associated with positive effects on hair density and reduction in hair loss for androgenetic alopecia, with good tolerability reported in several clinical trials.

This review discusses how various reproductive factors are linked to increased risks of hypertension and cardiovascular disease, noting associations with impaired fetal growth, male hypogonadism, and effects of contraceptive use, but reports no new results.

This study reports that hair follicles can mobilize ectopic progenitors for regeneration to repair damage from ionizing radiation. Augmenting WNT signaling enhanced this regenerative process and prevented radiation- and chemotherapy-induced hair loss, highlighting a potential approach to manage alopecia during cancer treatment.

This review explores the mechanisms of skin repigmentation and therapeutic strategies for pigmentation disorders following burn injuries, but it presents no new clinical results.

This study reported a case of hereditary vitamin D–resistant rickets caused by a single heterozygous missense mutation in the VDR gene, showing dominant-negative effects and reduced response to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3.

This study found that in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, shorter CAG repeat lengths in the androgen receptor gene were associated with lower dihydrotestosterone and androstenedione levels, but a higher prevalence of acne and hirsutism.

This study describes a patient with hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets (HVDRR) who, despite having a truncated vitamin D receptor, did not exhibit typical hair or skin abnormalities, suggesting possible compensation via interactions with other proteins.

This study found that compound 2g inhibits steroid sulfatase effectively without exhibiting estrogenic activity, making it a promising candidate for breast cancer treatment.

This study found genetic variations, including de novo variants and copy number variations, that may be associated with phenotypic discordance in monozygotic twins with various clinical conditions.

This study at Mbarara University of Science and Technology found that T. violaceum is the most common cause of tinea capitis in children in Western Uganda, and systemic therapy is preferred over topical treatments for effective management due to the nature of the infection.

This study found that specific DNA variants in the TCHH, WNT10A, and FRAS1 genes are associated with predicting straight hair in Europeans, showing high sensitivity but low specificity, especially using a neural networks approach.

This review examines treatments for hidradenitis suppurativa in children and adolescents, highlights differences from adult care, and reports no original clinical findings.

This study identified a novel nonsense mutation in the VDR gene in two patients with hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets and alopecia, leading to resistance to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3.

This study developed a new STR typing strategy for forensic casework, enabling the simultaneous analysis of 11 polymorphic systems, particularly useful for limited or degraded DNA samples such as telogen hair roots.

This study identified a distinct gene near the hairless locus on chromosome 8p that is responsible for hereditary Marie Unna type hypotrichosis in a German family.

This study found that parental reports of neuro-psychiatric disorders were higher in children exposed to maternal anti-Ro antibodies, yet these differences compared to controls were not statistically significant.

This study observed that cutaneous lymphocytosis in cats is a slowly progressive and relatively benign disease, but predicting individual clinical outcomes from skin lesions was not possible.

This study identified mutations in the SREBF1 gene that impair SREBP1 function, potentially contributing to IFAP syndrome by affecting skin, hair, and eye development.

This study concluded that finasteride may safely reduce prostate size and improve urinary symptoms for at least six years in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia, though further improvements beyond six months are unlikely.
