This study found statistically significant patterns in hair morphology and ultrastructure linked to biogeographic ancestry among European, African, and East Asian populations.

This study observed two cases of pigmented epithelioid melanocytoma suggesting potential differing origins: one from a hair follicle's outer root sheath and another from an intradermal nevus.

This study applied a prediction model based on five SNPs to Russian males with male pattern hair loss, finding a significant association between the AR genomic region and high dihydrotestosterone levels in these patients.

In this case report, researchers diagnosed a 12-year-old girl with a nevus sebaceus of Jadassohn, characterized by a yellowish-pink plaque on the scalp and a genetic variant, following previous misdiagnosis as alopecia areata.

This review discusses the adnexotropic presentations of interface dermatitides and highlights the importance of recognizing adnexal involvement to aid in accurate diagnosis and avoid misinterpretation.

This study found that non-pigmented hair follicles have significantly lower expression of nucleotide excision repair genes, which may be associated with reduced melanin production capacity in these follicles.

This study utilized a pigmented human epidermal equivalent model to incorporate melanocytes into the epidermis and found enhanced differentiation potential compared to conventional in vitro systems, reflecting in vivo cellular trajectories and highlighting melanocyte-to-keratinocyte communication pathways.

This study found that specific genetic variants of the KAP22-1 gene in Egyptian sheep breeds were significantly associated with wool traits like crimp, staple length, kemp score, and greasy color grade, suggesting their potential use in breeding programs.

This report describes a unique case of linear lichen planus pigmentosus on the face with histological features of lichen planopilaris, which has not been documented before.

This study found that two unrelated domestic shorthair cats had novel DSG4 gene mutations causing defective hair shafts, representing the first report of pathogenic DSG4 variants in domestic animals.

This narrative review discusses lichen planus pigmentosus, including its variations, associated triggers, and management strategies, but reports no new clinical results.

This source reviews the health benefits and challenges of using anthocyanins, noting their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and other protective effects, while also highlighting stability issues that need addressing for wider food and nutraceutical application.

In this study, the researchers observed that the evolution of Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens pv. flaccumfaciens, which causes tan spot in Australian mungbeans, is driven by clonal expansion from existing genetic variations, emphasizing the need for informed breeding strategies to manage resistance against this pathogen.

This paper reviews recent research on hair graying, suggesting that an imbalance in oxidative stress handling may affect melanocyte stem cells and melanin production with age, and calls for exploring strategies to prolong melanin production.

In this study, prenatal ultrasonography was found to be a valuable tool for screening ectodermal dysplasia during pregnancy, and a new EDA gene variant associated with X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia was identified, aiding in more accurate diagnoses and reproductive decision-making.

This case report describes a 15-year-old girl with features of Becker naevus syndrome, highlighting the importance of DNA analysis from skin to confirm the diagnosis after 9 years of symptoms.

This study observed distinct variations in hair medulla patterns among people with different Ayurvedic Prakruti types, linking stronger hair integrity to Kapha-dominant types and weaker, fragmented medullae to Vata and Pitta-dominant types, potentially aiding in Dosha-specific hair care and assessment.

Gender affects hair and scalp characteristics, with differences in hormone responses, graying patterns, and trace metals.

In this study, researchers identified loss of function variants in the HR gene as likely causes of the distinct roaning hair coat seen in lykoi cats.

This case report is the first to associate NEMO syndrome with systemic lupus erythematosus, suggesting a potential role for NF-kB essential modulator in the pathogenesis of SLE.

This article describes how HIV-related skin disorders vary in presentation among pigmented skin types and highlights challenges in their diagnosis due to atypical disease manifestations.

This study reports that the completeness of DNA degradation in hair during cornification varies among individuals and affects the success rates of forensic hair DNA analysis.

This study reports that progressive frontal fibrosing alopecia, a distinct and gradually stabilizing form of lichen planopilaris affecting elderly women and often involving eyebrow hair loss, lacks effective treatments.

This review explores the potential of edible flowers, particularly the genus Impatiens, for their chemical, nutritional, and bioactive properties but does not report new clinical findings.

This study identified two distinct VDR gene mutations among Lebanese families with hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets, noting varied treatment responses and promising outcomes despite severe phenotypes.

This review found that while treating keratosis pilaris is challenging, current therapies can lead to significant improvement, particularly when tailored to the individual's specific disease phenotype and concerns.

This study reviewed existing literature and reported two cases of perinevoid alopecia, suggesting that melanocyte antigens may be involved in its development.

In this study, researchers characterized the retinal structure and function of the Oat^rhg mouse model of gyrate atrophy, finding localized atrophy without significant retina-wide functional impact, suggesting the model may be useful for testing new treatments using multimodal retinal imaging.

Hair growth and pigmentation in mice involve specific stages crucial for research.

This study reports that melanocytes form a defined photoresponsive network in the skin that reads environmental light cycles and may influence the sleep-waking cycle similar to the pineal gland.
