Corkscrew hair may be a new sign for quickly diagnosing scalp fungus in black children.

In this study, researchers observed a dose-dependent occurrence of persistent radiation-induced alopecia in patients with primary CNS tumors or head and neck sarcomas, noting distinctive patterns and features, and suggesting potential benefits of topical minoxidil and procedural interventions for treatment.

This article reviews the structural similarities and common disorders of hair and nails, highlighting their joint involvement in congenital and acquired conditions, but it reports no new clinical results.

This article discusses how the balding scalp's exposure to UV and near-infrared light may accelerate aging, with changes detectable under ultraviolet light; it presents no new clinical findings.

In this observational study, researchers found that socioeconomic factors and stress significantly influence alopecia areata in patients in the Indian subcontinent.

This review outlines recent advancements in droplet-based microfluidics used with food-grade materials to create delivery systems, emphasizing the design and function of systems like emulsions and microcapsules while discussing challenges related to scaling these processes from lab to industry.

This article reviews the diagnostic process for hair problems, emphasizing the importance of thorough patient evaluation and communication but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses skin appendages like hair and nails as indicators of local and systemic pathologies, emphasizing conditions such as inflammatory diseases and infections, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study investigated pangolin skin genetics, finding that while sweat gland-related genes are not inactivated, several genes related to sebaceous gland function are, which highlights complex evolutionary adaptations in mammalian skin.

In this study, researchers performed a genome-wide characterization of the Wnt gene family in domestic donkeys, identifying 19 genes and highlighting their evolutionary conservation among mammals, along with tissue-specific expression patterns potentially linked to reproductive regulation and tissue homeostasis.

This study evaluated a novel, user-friendly approach for detecting hairfall trends over time using machine learning models. The Temporal Fusion Transformer model demonstrated high accuracy in identifying anomalies in hair shedding patterns, potentially aiding in the early detection of health risks related to hormonal fluctuations.

In this study, researchers presented cases of cellular neurothekeoma in three male family members with early-onset in infancy, suggesting a potential genetic component and inheritance pattern, which deviates from the typical presentation seen mostly in women between 20–30 years.

This study used computational methods to identify six molecules, with jamogenin being particularly promising, that effectively bind to and inhibit the enzyme linked to male pattern hair loss, suggesting these compounds could be explored further for hair growth potential.

This study showed that vitamin D receptor gene-deficient rats exhibit hair loss and skin abnormalities due to differences in gene and protein expression patterns, while ligand-independent VDR action is crucial for normal hair cycle maintenance and skin formation.

This study suggests that lichen planopilaris should be considered as a potential diagnosis in African American women with scarring alopecia, often displaying an "arrowhead" distribution pattern, which may guide treatment strategies.

This study found that dermoscopy is effective for distinguishing Tinea Capitis from Alopecia Areata by identifying unique trichoscopic features specific to each condition.

This study identified four novel DSG4 mutations associated with monilethrix in 12 Jewish families, suggesting a recessive inheritance pattern and broader prevalence of DSG4-related hair disorders than previously recognized.

This study demonstrates that exfoliative cutaneous lupus erythematosus in German short-haired pointers involves a cellular and humoral immune response against the epidermal basement membrane, with poor response to immunosuppressive therapy.

In this case report, combination therapy effectively resolved chronic malasseziosis within 28 days in a small-breed dog from a Southeast Asian tropical climate, with significant symptom improvement and reduced Malassezia density observed by week 4.

This case study describes a rare instance of subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus on the chin, highlighting the effectiveness of using dermoscopy and reflectance confocal microscopy for accurate diagnosis and monitoring, which led to significant lesion improvement with corticosteroid and immunomodulatory treatment over 19 weeks.

In animal studies, this research found that minoxidil-loaded air-pocket microneedles improved hair loss treatment efficiency compared to topical application, while effectively sealing punctured skin openings.

This article reviews the clinical presentation and histopathologic features of alopecia areata and proposes a hypothesis for its development, but it reports no new clinical results.

This review elaborates on the skin side effects of chemotherapy and emphasizes identifying and managing both common and life-threatening skin reactions, without presenting new clinical findings.

This article discusses the history taking and clinical examination process for diagnosing alopecia and outlines a diagnostic approach, noting that it reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses trichoscopy as a noninvasive, effective technique for diagnosing various hair loss conditions and monitoring treatment, highlighting its potential to reduce scalp biopsy necessity.

This review discusses various skin infections and conditions that commonly occur in patients with HIV, but it does not report new research findings.

This article reviews various hair abnormalities observable through trichoscopy in conditions like monilethrix, trichorrhexis nodosa, and ectodermal dysplasias, with no new clinical findings reported.

This case report describes a family with autosomal dominant transmission of keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans, with observed treatment refractoriness in multiple topical and systemic therapies.

This review compiles existing data on frontal fibrosing alopecia and highlights the promise of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors as a treatment option, while noting the need for clarity on its cause and progression.

In this case report, researchers identified Arthroderma vanbreuseghemii as the cause of a familial fungal infection, which was successfully treated with itraconazole and topical terbinafine cream.
