This case report concludes that the presence of distinctive histiocytic responses in a Cambodian woman's eyelid lipogranulomas suggests surreptitious silicone injections despite her denial of prior procedures.

This study found that the main structural proteins of tree frog toe pads, which aid in their adhesive properties, are alpha keratins that have evolutionary origins in early tetrapods.

This study used transcriptome analysis to explore the genetic mechanisms behind the development and seasonal variation of nuptial pads in R. chensinensis, identifying key genes and processes that suggest the pads' development involves complex regulatory pathways, particularly those related to cell cycle and hormone synthesis.

In this study, researchers found that the cornification process in the nuptial pads of Xenopus frogs involves the expression of the type II hair keratin homolog, krt59, and is regulated by the transcription factor hoxc13, showing similarities to mammalian hair evolution.

Wigs significantly improve the well-being of people with severe hair loss.

Wearing wigs or hairpieces improves self-esteem, adaptability, and competence in women with alopecia areata.

This letter reports on the impact wigs may have on the perceived quality of life in patients with androgenetic alopecia.

This letter to the editor reports no new results but discusses the effect of hairpieces on the perceived quality of life in female pattern hair loss patients.

This review discusses the role of peptidylarginine deiminases in skin homeostasis and diseases, particularly in keratinocyte differentiation and hair disorders, but presents no new experimental findings.

This article reports that mutations in the PADI3 gene, affecting its activity or localization, cause uncombable hair syndrome and are linked to central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, particularly among women of African ancestry.

This study found that 4-(4-Phenoxybenzoyl)benzoic acid derivatives may act as antioxidants by scavenging certain reactive oxygen species but exhibit prooxidant behavior under specific conditions.

This study found that Ca²⁺ signaling and peptidylarginine deiminase enzymes play a crucial role in activating neural stem cells in response to injury in zebrafish, suggesting potential therapeutic targets for CNS injuries and cancer.

This review highlights essential preoperative assessments for ophthalmologists and non-oculo-facial surgeons performing upper facial rejuvenation, emphasizing the importance of understanding ocular and periocular anatomy to achieve both cosmetic and functional improvements.

In this study, researchers observed that the epidermal specializations on the tail scales of Lygodactylus lizards, including sensory organs and specific secretory glands, are fully restored with similar structure and distribution on regenerated tails.

This study found that Prdm1 is crucial for whisker development in mice, affecting multiple signaling pathways and possibly playing a role in primates' evolutionary loss of vibrissae.

This study found that administering botulinum toxin A via Flex-PADs to mouse footpads inhibited sweating similarly to traditional injections, suggesting a promising patient-friendly delivery method for hyperhidrosis treatment.

This review outlines the factors affecting skin greasiness and sebum production, highlighting measurement challenges but reports no new clinical findings; further research may guide sebosuppressive treatments for acne.

In this case report, a white man with mental retardation and suspected sensory neural hearing loss experienced resolution of cystic lesions and partial regeneration of facial fat after 1.5 months of pimozide therapy.

This study found that sensory and sympathetic innervation in the mystacial pads of mice is governed by a balance of neurotrophin signaling, highlighting the roles of NGF/trkA and NT-3/trkC pathways.

This study found that most potassium channel blockers increased the activity of slowly adapting mechanoreceptors in rat whisker pads, while the opener NS1619 decreased their evoked activity.

This study found that reinforcing epoxy with short human hair fibers and glass micro-spheres improved its wear resistance, suggesting potential applications in products like brake shoes and pads.

This study found that fetal calf serum can protect Merkel cells from cell death and alter their morphology in culture from newborn rat whisker pads.

In this study, a case of alopecia areata showed significant improvement in scalp health and hair regrowth following Shiropichu therapy, an Ayurvedic technique using coconut oil pads on the scalp, suggesting it as a potential non-invasive treatment option.

This study found that fetal calf serum can protect Merkel cells from death and alter their morphology in culture, while serum-free conditions led to high cell mortality.

This review discusses the relationship between ectodermal alterations and immunodeficiencies, particularly the roles of hyper-IgE syndrome, ectodermal dysplasia, and FOXN1 gene mutations, but it presents no new research findings.

A 7-year-old dog with a rare autoimmune disease was euthanized due to severe anemia and poor prognosis.

This study concluded that the increase in NGF mRNA levels during mouse whisker pad development is influenced by soluble factors produced within the tissue, rather than linked to epidermal differentiation.

This study found that enzymatic conversion of Arg-51 in S100A3 protein to citrulline promotes homotetramer assembly, potentially increasing Ca²⁺ binding required for hair cuticular barrier formation.

In this study, researchers identified two novel peptidylarginine deiminases from treated rat keratinocytes, both showing enzyme activity with PAD‐R11 reflecting a characteristic of epidermal enzymes.

This review examines primary and secondary immunodeficiencies, focusing on how healthcare providers can recognize and manage these conditions in children; it reports no new clinical results.
