This review classifies mutant mice with hair abnormalities into six categories, providing an annotated table that serves as a reference for understanding the molecular controls of hair growth.

This study suggests genetic and clinical heterogeneity in keratosis pilaris atrophicans, with variations in inheritance patterns, severity, and response to treatment among 21 individuals observed.

This study demonstrated that dominant mutations in mouse gasdermin A3 disrupt mitochondrial oxidative stress regulation, suggesting a gain-of-function effect on epidermal differentiation.

In this study, researchers found that exposure to PM10 significantly increased inflammation and impaired collagen synthesis in human dermal fibroblasts, suggesting PM10 contributes to skin aging through these mechanisms.

This paper discusses the use of dermatoscopy as a fast, noninvasive technique for diagnosing hair shaft disorders and reports no new results; the authors highlight its advantages over traditional microscopy methods.

This review discusses the causes, associated conditions, and treatment options for alopecia areata, such as corticosteroids and wigs, but reports no new clinical findings.

This review found that infliximab, golimumab, and some forms of radiotherapy significantly improved nail psoriasis compared to controls, although they could have serious adverse effects and are not commonly used specifically for nail issues.

Pregnancy often causes skin changes like darkening, stretch marks, and hair growth, which may improve after childbirth.

This study found that IMT-P8, a novel cell-penetrating peptide, effectively facilitated the dermal delivery of proteins and peptides in mouse skin and cell lines, suggesting potential for topical applications in cosmetics and skin diseases.

In this study, minoxidil treatment was associated with an increase in nonvellus scalp hairs, but this effect was not sustained once the treatment was stopped.

This protocol describes using two-photon laser-scanning microscopy to study hair regeneration in live mice, offering detailed imaging capabilities for observing hair follicle stem cell behavior and manipulating cellular populations.

AGD1 is important for root hair development in Arabidopsis, working with phosphoinositide signaling and the actin cytoskeleton.

This study found that 87% of patients with stage IIA and IIB melanoma treated with low-dose alpha-interferon reported cutaneous side effects, with the most common being hair loss.

This study identified five mutations in the gene LSS in individuals with unexplained hypotrichosis simplex, highlighting a potential role of mislocalized LSS proteins in disrupting hair follicle biology.

This study used proteomics to identify various proteins in human hair, which may help develop novel biomarkers for hair health, disease, and aging.

This article presents two cases of keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans and reviews its features, highlighting characteristic progression from keratosis pilaris in infancy to cicatricial alopecia in childhood.

This study observed that hepatocyte adhesion to human hair keratin biomaterials was mediated by the hepatic ASGPR, as blocking this receptor reduced cell attachment.

The study found that severe insulin resistance and premature diabetes are common in patients with PCNT genetic defects, primarily affecting those over four years old, while not impacting early insulin signaling in adipocytes.

This study found that impaired autophagy plays a role in sonic hedgehog pathway-induced endometrial fibrosis, suggesting it as a potential target for treating intrauterine adhesion.

Oral retinoids are effective for severe skin conditions but require careful use due to side effects.

This article proposes two new categories of cicatricial alopecia—“unstable” and “stable”—and suggests surgical excision as preferred over hair transplantation, especially for unstable cases.

This study found that long-term weekly administration of docetaxel is feasible at doses up to 45 mg/m² per week with acceptable toxicity, and suggests further evaluation with 40 mg/m² for phase II studies.

This study found that micro-needling with cosmeceuticals or platelet-rich plasma significantly improved wrinkles, skin laxity, scar softening, and hair growth over 12 months, with minimal side effects, and that the best results occur with pigment and platelet massaging between 5 to 30 minutes post-treatment.

This article discusses the etiology, clinical features, diagnosis, histopathology, and treatment of alopecia areata but reports no new clinical findings; it emphasizes the palliative nature of current treatments.

This review covers dermatological conditions experienced by ice-skating athletes due to cold exposure, infections, and inflammation, providing no new clinical findings and emphasizing diagnosis and treatment strategies.

This review discusses the variety of skin conditions linked to eating disorders and emphasizes that resolving these skin issues often requires treating the underlying disorder.

This article reviews the diagnosis and management of alopecia areata but reports no new research findings.

This article discusses the history and terminology of toxic epidermal necrolysis but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses various rare syndromes associated with ichthyosis and emphasizes the importance of understanding their molecular genetics and mechanisms for developing effective treatments and genetic counseling, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This review highlights the importance of recognizing mucocutaneous lesions in diagnosing juvenile-onset systemic lupus erythematosus, noting that these lesions often improve with controlled lupus and can indicate disease activity.
