Mutations in the DSG4 gene cause specific hair and scalp issues.

In this study, researchers used SEM/SDD-EDS to identify waterborne minerals like calcium and aluminum in the scalp hair cuticle of individuals using treated or untreated water for hair washing, finding that prior application of coconut oil or conditioners can prevent calcium uptake.

This article reviews the genetic mutations associated with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia and reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight the roles of EDA gene isoforms and related receptors.

In this study, researchers found that the ability of hamster polyomavirus to cause lymphoid tumors in Syrian hamsters may be linked to its association with the tyrosine kinase p59fyn.

This case report identifies a novel nonsense mutation in the CDH3 gene associated with hypotrichosis and juvenile macular dystrophy.

This study developed a new method using ultrahigh-power sonication and mass spectrometry to improve protein extraction from hair shafts, identifying 239 differentially expressed proteins related to fetal growth restriction, which were validated as potential noninvasive biomarkers for perinatal diagnostics.

This review discusses the potential hormonal and metabolic factors influencing hidradenitis suppurativa and highlights the need for further research to explore hormonal dysregulation's role in the disease.

This study identified a 290 Kb microduplication in chromosome 1q22 in a family with members exhibiting neurodevelopmental disorders, suggesting a link between this genetic alteration and the observed neurological symptoms.

In this study, researchers generated a mouse mutation called scraggly, related to hair and skin defects, and mapped it to a genetic location on mouse Chromosome 19 distinct from similar mutations.

USB videodermatoscopes are a practical and affordable alternative for diagnosing skin conditions.

This study identified a missense variant in the EDA gene of a male cat, which likely caused hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, characterized by hair and teeth abnormalities; this represents the first report of such a genetic condition in cats.

This review presents an evidence-based algorithm for managing hidradenitis suppurativa in primary care, highlighting the need for more research on treatment effectiveness and the disease's pathogenesis.

The digital system for measuring melasma shows promise but needs more development for better accuracy and automation.

This study found that deleting the Hes1 gene disrupts hair regeneration by delaying anagen initiation and shortening the anagen phase, suggesting it's crucial for maintaining hair cycle homeostasis.

This study found that KSR1 is essential for v-Ha-ras-mediated skin tumor formation in mice but not for MT-driven mammary tumor genesis, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target in Ras/MAPK signaling.

This study constructed a consensus single-cell atlas of hidradenitis suppurativa tunnels, identifying distinct microenvironmental endotypes with different inflammatory and fibrotic profiles, suggesting that TNF blockade may not be sufficient for addressing all lesions.

This study suggests that macrophages, especially CD206+ subsets, play a key role in hair growth induced by squaric acid dibutyl ester, a therapy used for alopecia areata.

This case report highlights a rare presentation of acute lupus hemophagocytic syndrome with initially negative antinuclear antibodies, underscoring the higher sensitivity of the 2012 Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics criteria for diagnosis.

This study found that dihydromyricetin may reduce fibrosis features in hypertrophic scars by affecting PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling, but further research is needed to confirm causality.

In this study, researchers found that increased hydrogen sulfide levels in Arabidopsis disrupted actin dynamics through S-sulfhydration, leading to the depolymerization of actin filaments and inhibited root hair growth.

In this study, researchers developed a novel delivery system using hyaluronic acid gels to encapsulate Huperzine A for Alzheimer's treatment, achieving extended release over 20 days and significantly improving pathology and behavior in mice, including enhanced memory and reduced neuroinflammation.

This study found that ESR1 gene polymorphisms may be linked to hormonal imbalances in young women with hyperandrogenism, potentially affecting bone mineral density indirectly.

This study found that human hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stem cells effectively maintained human embryonic stem cells in an undifferentiated state, comparable to mouse embryonic fibroblasts under standard conditions.

This review discusses genetic mutations associated with Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome and reports no clinical results; the authors emphasize the importance of cardiovascular monitoring in management.

In this study, the researchers used the dual-flow-RootChip to show that Arabidopsis roots can locally adapt their hair development in response to asymmetric phosphate conditions.

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 developed a double-wavelength laser scanning microphotometer to measure hair shaft and follicle absorbance, improving spatial resolution and reducing light scattering effects in vitro.

In a retrospective cohort of patients with steroid 5 α-reductase 2 deficiency, this study identified seven novel genetic variants in the SRD5A2 gene, expanding the variant database and contributing to improved diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for the condition.

This study found that DNA-damaged hair follicle stem cells in mouse models do not show typical senescent markers but are dynamically expelled to maintain tissue health and prevent hair loss.

In this study by Sawada et al., the researchers developed a human striatal model using stem cells and postmortem samples, revealing accelerated neuronal maturation and specific gene expression changes linked to schizophrenia risk, which may inform future research on the disorder's developmental roots.
