This article reports on a patient case of Cronkhite-Canada syndrome, detailing symptoms and diagnostic findings, and reviews the syndrome's characteristics without presenting new clinical data.

The researchers found that corneodesmosin is crucial for maintaining skin barrier integrity and hair follicle architecture in mice, with its deletion leading to severe skin and hair abnormalities.

This case report documents a rare instance of a trichilemmal cyst occurring on the plantar surface of the foot, highlighting the necessity of histological examination for accurate diagnosis when clinical or radiological presentations are atypical.

This study found that blocking GABA(A) receptors in cat dorsal horn neurons increased evoked activity and background discharge, highlighting differences in inhibitory control systems compared to glycine receptors.

This article describes two cases of plica neuropathica, a rare hair condition involving severe matting, and discusses possible contributing factors and diagnosis methods while reporting no new scientific results.

This report describes a rare case of scalp kerion due to microsporosis in a Portuguese child, noting the unusual combination with other microsporid features and treatment details.

This study found that a synthetic avicequinone C analogue, 5e, was significantly more potent in inhibiting steroid 5α-reductase type 1 activity in human keratinocytes compared to the original isolated compound.

This study examines the depiction of a soldier with an atypical hairstyle resembling alopecia in an Isenmann painting, possibly reflecting medical conditions like tinea capitis or alopecia areata to emphasize the soldier's moral degradation, though artists historically mixed medical conditions for stylistic purposes.

This case report documents the first known instance of an ectopic sebaceous gland and duct within a hair follicle in a 21-year-old male with persistent acneiform eruption.

A young man was unexpectedly diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma after a scalp examination and confocal microscopy.

This study identified CCCA in 10 children of African descent, highlighting the occurrence of this scarring alopecia in patients under 18 and the importance of early diagnosis for better outcomes.

Cylindromas likely originate from hair follicle stem cells, not sweat glands.

This review discusses central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, its similarities to lichen planopilaris, and emphasizes the need for further research due to its underdiagnosis and impact on African-descended women.

Elkonyxis, a rare nail condition, improved when patients stopped their nail-picking habits.

This review discusses the historical development, mechanisms of action, and potential new clinical applications of the drug cepharanthine, highlighting its multi-faceted pharmacological properties; it reports no new clinical results.

This case report described two siblings with uncombable hair syndrome characterized by unique hair features, and identified a new pathogenic variant in the PADI3 gene (c.1374dup; p. Val459ArgfsTer15) not previously documented.

This report discusses the use of intralesional cidofovir and suggests it might be a viable option for treating SCC due to its successful outcome without observed systemic toxicity in this case.

This study found that bikunin is expressed in human keratinocytes and may play a role in regulating keratinocyte function during mitosis or inflammation.

This case report describes a novel mutation in the CDH3 gene in an 11-year-old Iranian boy with sparse scalp hair and macular dystrophy, leading to altered P-cadherin synthesis.

This study found that certain CYP21A2 mutations significantly reduce enzyme activity, contributing to non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia phenotypes, which may aid in enhancing diagnosis and treatment strategies.

This study identified a mutation hotspot in the caracul (Ca) locus of mice, implicating the mK6irs1/Krt2-6g gene in hair formation and potentially human hair and skin diseases.

This article summarizes various anatomical structures and dermatological conditions sharing the name "corona" but reports no clinical findings; the authors suggest these terms due to their crown-like appearance.

This study describes a novel hairless mutant rat strain, F344-Hr(krh), developed via ENU mutagenesis, which provides a model for skin disease and potentially focal glomerulosclerosis due to specific genetic mutations.

Isolated patchy heterochromia with pili annulati can occur without other health issues.

This case report describes a hybrid cyst in a Sprague-Dawley rat, showing both infundibular and matrical differentiation similar to different parts of normal hair follicles.

This study found that Celsr1, not Celsr2, is the primary protein involved in establishing planar cell polarity and hair follicle polarization in the epidermis of mice.

This study found that human centromeric regions exhibit large-scale haplotypes with significant diversity, including entire Neanderthal haplotypes, which may affect chromosome transmission.

In this case study, a 68-year-old woman was diagnosed with central diabetes insipidus and hypothalamic hypopituitarism due to a Rathke's cleft cyst.
