This study discovered nine human type I hair keratin genes, including a transcribed pseudogene, in a 190 kbp genomic region, revealing three gene subclusters based on sequence homologies.

New mutations in the hairless gene may cause hair loss and affect bone development.

This review examines the roles of macrophages and Langerhans cells in skin homeostasis and suggests that understanding these functions can aid in developing therapies for skin and hair regeneration, but it reports no new research findings.

This study found evidence suggesting a potential genetic link between polycystic ovaries and premature male pattern baldness through screening of first-degree relatives of women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

This essay discusses telogen effluvium, the issues surrounding its diagnosis and differentiation from other forms of hair loss, and emphasizes the need for empathetic patient care; it reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses clinical, hormonal, and genetic aspects of nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia and reports no new findings; the condition is highlighted as a potential cause of premature adrenarche and other symptoms in young people.

In this study, researchers observed that loose anagen hair syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by abnormal hair follicle structure and premature keratinization, possibly due to signaling and desmosomal component disturbances.

This article discusses systemic lupus erythematosus, covering its clinical features, treatments, and the recent FDA approval of belimumab, but does not present new clinical results.

This review examines androgen replacement therapy in women for treating androgen deficiency symptoms and reports no new clinical results, while noting potential safety within a specific dose range.

This review discusses genetic and epigenetic mechanisms that may contribute to aging and presents models suggesting that chromosomal changes could play a key role in the aging process; it reports no new experimental findings.

In this study, bezafibrate treatment improved certain aging-like features in a mouse model with mitochondrial dysfunction, but did not enhance muscle function or lifespan.

This article reviews the relationship between scalp conditions and hair health, suggesting that shampoos with Malassezia inhibitory agents may help reduce premature hair loss, but it presents no new clinical results.

This study reviewed scalp biopsies from African-American patients, identifying distinct features and diagnostic clues for scarring alopecia types such as traction alopecia and central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia.

In this study, researchers reported that about one-third of men with premature alopecia displayed hormonal shifts and higher insulin resistance, resembling the prevalence pattern of PCOS in women.

This study identified histologic lesions and a defect in adhesion molecules causing hair loss in mice with the bal mutation, linked to a mutation in the desmoglein 3 gene.

In this study, most hair disorders among HIV-1 positive patients were associated with low helper T cell counts, with papulosquamous conditions like seborrheic dermatitis and psoriasis being the most common.

This review examines age-related changes in androgen levels in women and explores the rationale for testosterone replacement therapy, but it reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, researchers found that oestrogen did not increase adrenal androgen secretion in children with premature adrenarche or in adolescents with gonadal dysgenesis undergoing oestrogen replacement therapy.

This study observed that the use of hormonal hair products remains common among US Army School personnel, with higher use rates among non-white, female, and enlisted individuals.

This study found that metabolic syndrome or related metabolic issues are common among the family members of women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Hair loss is often linked to thyroid problems, especially in women and older people, and screening for thyroid issues is advised for those with hair loss.

This review proposes a new classification for telogen effluvium, identifying three pathogenetic types with a common feature of profuse hair shedding, but reports no new clinical results.

This study identified a novel insertion mutation in the hairless gene that may contribute to the development of congenital atrichia with papular lesions in a Pakistani family.

This study found that the proteins GDNF, NTN, GFRα-1, GFRα-2, and c-Ret are differentially expressed during various stages of the human hair follicle cycle, with potential implications for hair biology.

Deleting Rac1 in the skin depletes stem cells and damages hair follicles.

This study found that age-related cues, such as perceived appearance, clothing, and family structure, may influence health outcomes and longevity in different ways.
