This case report details two patients with Graham-Little-Piccardi-Lassueur syndrome who showed marked skin lesion improvement with corticosteroid treatment, though cicatricial scalp alopecia remained unresponsive.

Elevated luteinizing hormone contributes to female-pattern hair loss, and blocking certain channels may help prevent it.

An 8-year-old girl developed a rare skin condition in a linear pattern on one side of her body after a lung infection, which improved with treatment.

This case report describes a instance of lepromatous leprosy in a renal transplant recipient, highlighting the potential for leprosy in immunocompromised patients and emphasizing the importance of including it in differential diagnoses for unusual skin lesions.

This review identifies genetic mutations associated with congenital hair loss disorders in Japanese populations, particularly highlighting common LIPH gene mutations linked to woolly hair/hypotrichosis, and reports no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers found that retinoids might improve lupus nephritis resistant to conventional treatments, but the sample size was too small for significant results, and side effects were noted.

This study found that in a mouse model of Focal Dermal Hypoplasia, treatment with lithium carbonate improved skin disease symptoms compared to controls, though disease severity varied and posed interpretation challenges.

In this study, a patient with lichen planopillaris experienced complete resolution of itching and hair shedding following treatment with a new platelet-rich plasma regimen, marking the first reported success in this context.

This study found a recurrent nonsense mutation in the HR gene linked to atrichia with papular lesions in two Kashmiri families, suggesting whole exome sequencing as an efficient method for diagnosis and genetic counseling.

In this case report, a late preterm male infant presented with a pathogenic TP63 gene variant, consistent with Rapp-Hodgkin Syndrome, showing symptoms such as ichthyosiform erythroderma, cleft palate, and ankyloblepharon, highlighting the complex management and diagnostic challenges in such cases.

In this research, RNA expression analysis of scalp biopsies from lichen planopilaris patients revealed changes in specific genes after treatments with hydroxychloroquine, narrow band UVB, or low level laser light therapy, suggesting potential biomarkers and implicating M2 macrophages in the disease's immunopathogenesis.

This case report presents a rare subtype of hypomyelinating leukodystrophy linked to a PYCR2 gene mutation, emphasizing exome sequencing's value in diagnosing undiagnosed childhood HLDs with atypical symptoms.

This study found that the receptor kinase RHS10 negatively regulates root hair growth in Arabidopsis thaliana by modulating growth duration and is associated with cell wall signal mediation, involving RNA catabolism and ROS accumulation.

This article corrects a duplication error in a previous publication and reports no new research findings.

This column discusses Tina Lardner's 23 years of experience in hair restoration surgery coordination, without reporting any new clinical results.

This study found that patients with lichen sclerosus et atrophicus who have autoimmune-related phenomena do not experience a different natural history of the disease compared to those without such phenomena.

This study observed phenotypic diversity in hair loss among Japanese individuals homozygous for the LIPH c.736T>A mutation and suggests that differences in hair thickness may contribute to varying severities.

In this study, researchers identified a rare form of hereditary hypotrichosis linked to mutations in the LSS gene, which affects cholesterol biosynthesis and is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner.

This source reports that a comprehensive review of LSS gene variant phenotypes enhances understanding of congenital hypotrichosis 14 and could guide more precise genetic counseling and future research into disease mechanisms and potential therapies.

This study suggests that LONRF1 may play a vital role in linking oxidative damage responses and tissue remodeling during wound healing, with distinct mechanisms in senescent and non-senescent cells.

This study found that quality of life was significantly impaired among Chinese rosacea patients, especially those aged 21-40, with recent disease onset, appearance-dependent jobs, and severe symptoms.

This study reports a rare case of two siblings with lipoedematous scalp, suggesting a possible genetic link that warrants further investigation.

In this study, the researchers found that after initial hair regrowth with ritlecitinib in patients with severe alopecia areata, it took a median of 93 days to reach clinical trial-defined scalp hair regrowth, with those responding earlier showing faster progression to desired outcomes.

In this study, application of salicylic acid solution on mouse skin showed histologic changes without causing wounds or inflammation, observed immediately and up to 48 hours after treatment.

This study found that transplantation of autologous stromal vascular fraction cells increased skin thickness and improved regeneration when combined with mechanical stretching, without severe adverse events.

This study found that bolandiol increased lean body mass and bone mineral density in castrate adult male rats, exhibiting tissue selectivity and acting through multiple receptor pathways with less potency compared to other androgens.

This review outlines the urgent need for effective therapeutic interventions against coronaviruses, as current vaccines are challenged by virus mutations, and emphasizes developing safe, affordable, and broad-spectrum antivirals for both human and porcine coronaviruses.

This meta-analysis of animal studies found that alkaloids have potential anti-influenza and anti-inflammatory effects, correlating with improved viral titers and survival rates, though they did not effectively reduce TNF-α and IL-6 levels. Extensive further studies are needed to confirm these findings before considering clinical application.

This study concludes that loose anagen hair can develop in adulthood and may be difficult to distinguish from telogen hair loss, with pathologic findings offering limited diagnostic insights.

This study suggests that the vitamin D receptor and hairless gene may directly regulate each other via a transcriptional mechanism, potentially explaining phenotypic similarities between atrichia and VDRRIIa rickets.
