This study found that heterozygous mice overexpressing Claudin-6 experienced alterations in epidermal and hair follicle differentiation, leading to distinctive coat characteristics and a disrupted epidermal permeability barrier.

This review discusses recent advances in polydopamine-based biomaterials and their growing potential in personalized medicine, but reports no new experimental results; the authors highlight both opportunities and challenges for future applications.

Terrestrial vertebrates have balanced keratin gene clusters, unlike teleost fish.

In this study, researchers used a hypospadiac rat model to demonstrate abnormal genital development, similar to human penoscrotal hypospadias, highlighting the model's value for studying penile growth and differentiation.

This study observed that the thinning and structural abnormalities in monilethrix-affected hair occur at the internodes due to possible periodic dysfunction of the hair matrix, particularly in the cortex.

This report presents four new cases of follicular porokeratosis, which exhibit distinct histological features where the cornoid lamella are confined to the follicular ostia.

Focal palmoplantar callosities may help diagnose non-Herlitz junctional epidermolysis bullosa.

Mutations in the DSG4 gene cause specific hair and scalp issues.

In this study, researchers found that males with alopecia areata had a significantly lower 2D to 4D finger length ratio compared to healthy controls, suggesting this ratio might predict alopecia areata development, though it did not correlate with disease severity.

This article reports a case of a 14-month-old child with a constriction ring syndrome caused by tightly wrapped hair, highlighting the importance of early recognition and treatment to prevent serious complications.

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

This study identified pathogenic or likely pathogenic gene variants in 70.1% of Russian families affected by hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, expanding knowledge of causative mutations.

This report identifies a novel splice-site variant in the LAMB3 gene linked to junctional epidermolysis bullosa, emphasizing the need for gene sequencing in diagnosing the disease.

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.

In a case report, this study identified a new genetic variant in a six-year-old girl from Saudi Arabia with hypotrichosis and juvenile macular dystrophy, expanding the understanding of the genetic spectrum of this rare condition in the region.

This case report describes an 8-year-old boy with neurofibromatosis type one presenting with the rare conditions of trichothiodystrophy and retinal atrophy.

This study found that overexpression of PTHrP in mice chondrocytes led to short-limbed dwarfism and delays in endochondral ossification, highlighting PTHrP's role in inhibiting chondrocyte differentiation.

In this case report, a newborn with Conradi-Hünermann-Happle syndrome was diagnosed through early skin biopsy, which revealed unique histopathological features, including dystrophic calcifications, confirming a pathogenic variant in the EBP gene.

This article discusses congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21 hydroxylase deficiency as a cause of ambiguous genitals in 46XX individuals and reports no new research findings.

This case report presents an 8-year-old girl with congenital atrichia, marked by complete hair loss and papular lesions, linked to mutations in the human hairless gene.

This case series reports three novel and atypical morphological patterns of alopecia areata, termed the central sparing, paw, and punctate patterns, highlighting their importance for dermatologists in improving diagnosis and management of the condition.

This study reports the first familial case of alopecia linked to a novel homozygous variant in the DSP gene, which did not coincide with heart abnormalities despite prior associations.

This case report describes a 10-year-old girl with monilethrix, detailing hereditary autosomal dominant traits and distinctive nodular hair shaft abnormalities observed in her family through clinical examination and microscopic analysis.

Frequent hairdryer use may worsen hair fragility in people with Pili Annulati.

This article reviews the characteristics, differential diagnosis, and management options for papular acantholytic dyskeratosis of the vulva, illustrated by a case of a 21-year-old patient, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that the IGF2 gene Apa1 A820G polymorphism is associated with an increased risk of developing PCOS in the studied population.

The authors concluded that establishing and standardizing methods for data collection are crucial to improving PCOS diagnosis and research due to challenges observed in data harmonization across diverse international cohorts.
