This study found no significant differences in dry eye disease parameters between female patients with androgenetic alopecia and healthy controls, although meibum quality was better in the alopecia group, suggesting complex hormonal interplay affecting ocular health.

This case report describes a 33-year-old woman with both subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus and onychomycosis, highlighting the importance of excluding infections and considering the spectrum of alopecia causes in lupus patients.

This case report suggests the co-occurrence of systemic lupus erythematosus and an eating disorder in an adolescent may be linked through shared adolescent stress factors rather than neuropsychiatric lupus, despite algorithmic indications.

This study reported that the coexistence of myasthenia gravis and primary Sjögren's syndrome is rare, and managing the progress of myasthenia gravis is crucial for treatment, while it does not adversely impact Sjögren's syndrome.

This review found promising benefits of platelet-rich plasma for treating ocular surface diseases in animals, but methodological flaws currently preclude recommending it as standard care.

This review highlights the importance of standardizing pre-analytical procedures for collecting and extracting samples from uncommon biological specimens like breast milk and sweat in clinical metabolomics, to enhance diagnostic and biomarker discovery efforts while minimizing contamination and bias.

This study found that isotretinoin therapy for acne vulgaris typically causes mild mucocutaneous adverse events, which are reversible and vary individually.

This study found that patients with severe alopecia areata demonstrated reduced corneal sensitivity and increased corneal staining, and exhibited altered topographic and biomechanical eye parameters compared to controls, suggesting a possible increased risk of keratoconus and the necessity for regular ophthalmological exams.

This study found that human meibomian glands differ significantly from free and hair-associated sebaceous glands in morphology and lipid composition, making them highly specialized holocrine glands.

In this study, researchers found that a low-cost USB dermoscope can effectively detect microscopic hair changes associated with early female pattern hair loss, making it a useful tool for diagnosis even without expensive equipment or programs.

This review discusses the role of adipokines in skin physiology and pathology, suggesting they may influence skin conditions and diseases through interaction with various skin cell types, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses cornea-specific keratin expression patterns in human and mouse development and reports no new experimental results; it highlights the need for investigating keratin mutations' role in pathology.

This study suggests that finasteride treatment may improve pulmonary immune response in mice following trauma and sepsis, indicating potential as a therapeutic option after major trauma.

Hoxc13 is important for hair and tongue development by controlling hair keratin genes.

In this study, rabbit esophageal epithelial cells were found to produce K4 and K13 keratins in suprabasal cells, forming disulfide-crosslinked dimers that may support the physical stability of the esophageal lining.

This review highlights advancements in 3D bioprinting for skin tissue engineering, focusing on exosome-loaded bioinks that show potential for enhancing skin regeneration and repair.

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 fibroblasts from Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy patients with certain genetic mutations overexpress markers of fibrosis, and gene correction techniques reduced fibrogenic molecule expression in cell models, suggesting potential therapeutic applications.

This study reported that trichoscopy revealed distinctive patterns across different autoimmune bullous diseases, suggesting it can be a useful preliminary diagnostic tool for differentiating these conditions.

This study suggests that trichoscopy may assist in diagnosing pemphigus, particularly for scalp-specific lesions, by identifying certain characteristic features.

This manuscript describes a proposed ‘trichoscopy-assisted hair pull test’ that enhances the diagnosis of hair loss conditions by allowing immediate examination of proximal hair shafts and roots in patients with a positive hair pull test.

This study found that the STRIAA scoring tool provides a rapid and highly reliable assessment of alopecia areata severity, showing a significant correlation with the traditional SALT score, thus enhancing clinical evaluation in patients with this condition.

This study found that trichoscopy can differentiate between dermatomyositis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and systemic sclerosis by identifying distinctive features and may help assess disease activity.

This study found that the modified wash test was generally more effective than TrichoScan® for diagnosing hair loss, particularly telogen effluvium, though both methods showed only fair concordance with clinical diagnosis.

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

This study suggests that using trichotillometry to establish the normal range of shear strain for different hair types could inform diagnostic and treatment decisions for various hair conditions.

Trichoscopy is a useful tool for diagnosing hair and scalp disorders.

This study found that the Antera 3D® system provided an objective and sensitive method for assessing pediatric pathological scars, capturing significant changes in pigmentation, vascularity, and volume, compared to the traditional Vancouver Scar Scale and dermoscopy, which showed varied sensitivities across different scar parameters.

In this retrospective study, researchers from the University of Bologna observed that trichoscopy can aid in diagnosing allergic scalp contact dermatitis, with key findings including common trichoscopic patterns of erythema, white scales, arborizing vessels, and simple red loops in 12 patients diagnosed with the condition.

This case report describes a 1.5-month-old baby with Schimmelpenning-Feuerstein-Mims syndrome, manifested by skin and ocular abnormalities along with developmental delays and hearing loss observed later, highlighting the syndrome's progression and need for multidisciplinary management.
