In this case report, a 45-year-old Jordanian woman was diagnosed with Clouston syndrome, an autosomal-dominant disorder characterized by alopecia and nail dystrophy due to a mutation in the GJB6 gene, though she lacked the typical palmoplantar keratoderma.

This case study describes the diagnosis and treatment of a Japanese girl with non-classical 21-hydroxylase deficiency, highlighting the normalization of testosterone and control of clitoromegaly after hydrocortisone therapy, but continued overgrowth issues.

This report describes a child and his father with hereditary hypotrichosis simplex, an uncommon isolated form of hair loss, with no other ectodermal or systemic abnormalities noted.

This study concludes that dietary L-serine supplementation shows promise as a long-term therapy for hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type 1, reducing neurotoxic 1-deoxysphingolipid levels and improving symptoms in severe cases.

This manuscript reviews current diagnostic criteria for polycystic ovary syndrome, emphasizing the need for accurate diagnosis in both clinical and research settings, but it does not provide new clinical findings.

Finger length ratios are not linked to the number of specific gene repeats affecting testosterone sensitivity.

This review synthesizes knowledge on Prostaglandin E2's role in platelet biology and suggests that targeting PGE2 pathways could lead to personalized antiplatelet therapy without affecting hemostasis, but it presents no new results.

This study found that the prevalence of PCOS in Thai adolescents was 5.29%, with moderate acne identified as the strongest associated risk factor.

This review discusses the histological features and diagnostic challenges of alopecia areata and emphasizes the need for genetic research to develop future therapeutics; it reports no new clinical findings.

This study introduces a novel in vitro model for clubfoot fibrosis to enable high-throughput drug screening and found that while the model increased collagen deposition, the antifibrotic drug minoxidil effectively inhibited the expression of collagen cross-linking enzymes.

In this mouse study, severe selenoprotein deficiency in epidermal cells was linked to skin abnormalities, disrupted hair follicle development, and progressive alopecia, highlighting the role of selenoproteins in skin and hair health.

This review examines over 271 candidate genes associated with economic traits in goats, highlighting their potential use in genetic markers and future breeding programs, and reports no new experimental results.

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 research observed that hairless guinea pig dermal fibroblasts were more sensitive to a toxic exposure than human dermal fibroblasts, suggesting that guinea pigs might serve as an intermediate model for translating in vitro findings to whole organisms.

This case report details two consanguineous patients with cerebral autosomal recessive arteriopathy, both having the same HTRA1 gene mutation, but exhibiting different clinical presentations, including one with epileptic seizures and lobar hemorrhages—previously undocumented in this condition.

This case report described a 39-year-old male with 47XXY/46XX mosaic Klinefelter syndrome who presented with common features of the condition and male pattern baldness seen in his family.

This study found that using layer-by-layer encapsulation techniques on dermal papilla cells can support their function and may help treat hair loss when used in conjunction with freshly isolated epidermal cells.

This study found that miRNA biogenesis, facilitated by Dicer and Drosha, is crucial for adult hair follicles' growth and regeneration, highlighting their multiple roles during the hair follicle growth cycle.

This study identifies a mutation in the hairless gene that may impact thyroid receptor interaction, contributing to alopecia universalis congenita in an Arab Israeli patient.

The study reported a significant genotype–phenotype correlation in prepubescent males with XLHED, particularly in the severity of skin and hair manifestations between those with different EDA mutations.

This study found that examining hair morphology provides deeper insights than classification, suggesting a potential population stratification artefact between hair curvature and cross-sectional shapes in the examined admixed African-European sample.

This study introduced a new high-throughput method for analyzing scalp hair morphology and found that quantifying hair form provides more accurate information than traditional classification based on racial categories, challenging the belief that cross-sectional morphology predicts hair curvature.

This study found that forming spheroids using silicone micro-wells improved the viability and neural differentiation potential of human adipose-derived stem cells after thawing.

This case report highlights an atypical presentation of acrodermatitis enteropathica in an 18-year-old male, exhibiting symptoms like erythrokeratoderma variabilis with a positive response to high-dose oral zinc, underscoring the importance of considering zinc deficiency in unusual skin conditions.

This study observed two distinct phenotypes among North Indian women with PCOS: obese hyperinsulinaemic dysglycemic women from Delhi and lean hyperandrogenic women from Srinagar, despite being in the same region.

This review describes the genetic and phenotypic diversity of Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome, highlighting new DCAF17 gene variants and their varying clinical implications.

This article discusses the use of forensic DNA phenotyping to infer physical characteristics from biological samples without a reference sample, aiding investigations but raising ethical and legal concerns.

This study demonstrated that CD19-CAR T cell therapy may promote structural regeneration in the skin of systemic sclerosis patients, as evidenced by histological improvements and fibroblast population changes, suggesting its potential for tissue remodeling in fibrotic diseases.

In this study, researchers using a Treg-specific HuR-deficient mouse model found that the RNA-binding protein HuR is crucial for stabilizing Foxp3 mRNA, affecting Treg function and immune regulation, with HuR disruption leading to impaired Foxp3 expression and potential autoimmune dysfunction.

This study identified a large deletion in the desmoglein 4 gene as the genetic basis of the Iffa Credo "hairless" rat's skin phenotype, linking it to lanceolate hair mutations.
