This study found that the topical application of a mixture of Platycladus orientalis leaf extract and α-terpineol promoted hair growth in mice by inducing early anagen transition and increasing growth factor expressions.

This review discusses the various roles of vitamin D in skin disorders, including established use in psoriasis and potential applications for atopic dermatitis and skin cancer prevention, but reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that hair analysis could serve as a diagnostic tool for detecting calcium channel activity, which influences hair calcium levels and may indicate calcium deficiency or related disease states.

This case report describes an adolescent with coeliac disease presenting severe hypercalcaemia from a parathyroid adenoma, suggesting possible links between coeliac disease and hyperparathyroidism.

In this case report, the coexistence of hypercalcemia and androgen excess in a postmenopausal woman was linked to primary hyperparathyroidism and a suspected androgen-secreting ovarian tumor, underscoring the need for a comprehensive diagnostic approach to identify overlapping endocrine disorders.

In this study, PEG and keratin scaffolds selectively influenced protein release rates based on charge and size, suggesting their potential for targeted delivery of protein therapeutics.

This review discusses recent molecular biology advances in the human phenol sulfotransferase gene family and reports no new results; the authors highlight its relevance for studies of endogenous and xenobiotic metabolism.

In this study, Norwegian researchers followed over 350 patients with porphyria cutanea tarda for an average of 7 years and found that 25% experienced biochemical relapse, suggesting the importance of routine follow-up for early detection and management.

This study found that cutaneous pyridoxal 5'-phosphate hydrolase activity may be carried out by an enzyme different from the classical tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase in human and mouse skin.

This study systematically reviewed clinical findings in trichothiodystrophy patients and suggested a new clinico-genetic classification to help better understand the ichthyotic phenotype and its management.

This report describes a 66-year-old woman's diagnosis of porphyria cutanea tarda, suggested by her painless blisters on sun-exposed areas, pink urine, and elevated urinary porphyrins.

This study found that the diphosphonate ethan-1-hydroxy-1,1-diphosphonat was the most effective compound in preventing calcifications in rats induced by DHT, compared to other phosphatase inhibitors and polyphosphates tested.

This study found that most hair shaft abnormalities can be accurately diagnosed using a handheld dermoscope in a clinical setting.

This study found that TRP-hair essence significantly protected and improved the quality of human hair, particularly against heat stress, by enhancing cuticle health and maintaining hair color.

This pilot study detailed the use of Hair-to-Hair-matching technology™ in a clinical trial to assess botulinum toxin's efficacy in treating male androgenetic alopecia, providing a precise method for evaluating hair count and thickness changes over time.

In this study, HPH-15, a newly synthesized compound, demonstrated potential in reducing skin fibrosis in a mouse model by targeting underlying pathogenic mechanisms and exhibited a good safety profile, warranting further clinical trials for fibrotic skin disorders like systemic sclerosis.

This report describes a patient with trichothiodystrophy exhibiting both specific hair abnormalities and developmental delay, contributing to the understanding of this rare disorder's clinical presentation.

Diphencyprone treatment protocols could be simplified as no harm occurred despite not fully following them.

This case report describes an instance of hair thread tourniquet syndrome in an infant, successfully treated through surgical release of the constricting hair.

This study found that pepsin digestion was more effective than trypsin at identifying keratin-associated proteins in human hair shafts and confirmed that trypsin introduced a bias in the analysis of protein composition that pepsin can correct.

This study reported that derivatization with 5-butylpicolinic acid improved the sensitivity for detecting testosterone and DHT in saliva using LC-ESI-MS/MS, with minimal interference from the saliva matrix.

This study found trichoscopy to be a highly sensitive, non-invasive method for diagnosing tinea capitis in children, which could be valuable in resource-limited settings lacking mycological culture facilities.

This study found that mimicking the XPD point mutation in mice resulted in trichothiodystrophy-like symptoms, supporting the role of basal transcription and DNA repair defects in the disease.

This study found that the combination of TTNPB and CHIR99021 enhanced the derivation of highly advanced neural stem cells from human pluripotent stem cells, with improved chromatin accessibility and neuroectodermal gene expression, and these cells successfully engrafted in rat hippocampi to ameliorate depression-like symptoms.

This report describes the sonographic characteristics of a proliferating trichilemmal tumor in the subungual region, identifying it as a heterogeneous mass with echogenic foci, potentially representing keratin and cholesterol.

This study developed a reliable HPLC-UV/Vis method to determine aluminum phthalocyanine chloride in skin, supporting its use in skin permeation studies for photodynamic therapy of cutaneous tumors.

In this study, researchers identified compound heterozygous variants in the MBTPS1 gene associated with ectodermal dysplasia features in a 14-year-old female, broadening the known disorder spectrum linked to these genetic mutations.

This study found that polyquaternium-68 at pH 9 achieved the greatest hair deposition, while polyquaternium-44 demonstrated the best wash resistance at pH 6.

The researchers reported that dPGS-PCL as a carrier improved the penetration of tofacitinib in an ex-vivo human skin model compared to free tofacitinib, but did not show significant differences in inhibiting IL-6 and IL-8 during short incubation.

This study found that trichothiodystrophy can be diagnosed prenatally in the second trimester using an endoscopically-guided fetal eyebrow biopsy, with sulfur content analysis being the most reliable test.
