A rare genetic deletion in the KRT1 gene causes unique skin symptoms in a family.

This study found extensive co-evolution of polyglutamine repeat lengths in neural protein clusters, highlighting their potential role in neurocognitive variation and neuropsychiatric disease development.

This study offers genetic evidence supporting a causal relationship between thyroid dysfunction and alopecia areata, which may help in managing and treating AA patients.

The researchers reviewed cepharanthine, a long-used bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid, for its antiviral properties, including significant inhibition of SARS-CoV-2. They discussed cepharanthine's other pharmacological actions, highlighted plasma membrane fluidity as a key antiviral mechanism, and examined its safety, bioavailability, and potential for new clinical applications.

This study observed that vitamin D therapy may help manage alopecia areata, totalis, and universalis, with promising hair regrowth in some pediatric cases, though further trials are needed.

This case report describes a rare instance of pediatric idiopathic hypoparathyroidism in an 11-year-old Saudi boy, characterized by extensive cranial calcifications beyond the basal ganglia, with no other neurological abnormalities.

This review highlights the transformative potential of bioinspired polymers in biomedical engineering, focusing on their roles in enhancing tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and other biomedical applications, with innovations including mimicking the extracellular matrix, self-healing, antibacterial properties, and cancer therapy.

In this case report, a 38-year-old woman with Parry–Romberg syndrome displayed left-sided facial atrophy and subclinical central nervous system involvement detectable by neuroimaging, suggesting that even symptom-free cases may benefit from systematic brain evaluations.

This review discusses the uncertain role of immune factors, particularly autoantibodies, in the development of alopecia areata and emphasizes that identifying key autoantigens could lead to targeted immunotherapies.

This study in a nine-year-old boy from Lebanon identified a gene mutation (c.1066dup p.(Arg356Profs*16)) associated with a rare inborn error of immunity, characterized by craniosynostosis, jaundice, and several other symptoms, expanding the known genotypic and phenotypic spectrum of this condition.
