This study explains that while trichothiodystrophy and xeroderma pigmentosum share genetic defects, TTD patients primarily exhibit issues in transcription initiation, not the increased skin cancer risk seen in XP.

This study describes a case where metoprolol was associated with reversible telogen effluvium, suggesting a similar mechanism of alopecia as seen with other beta-adrenoceptor antagonists.

This review explores the complex, context-dependent roles of tumor-secreted proteins and suggests that some proteins traditionally seen as tumor-promotive may act as tumor-suppressors in different environments, emphasizing the influence of cell fitness and treatment exposure.

In this study, researchers found that young men with premature androgenetic alopecia had a hormonal profile similar to the pattern seen in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, suggesting a possible genetic link.

This study describes a rare form of congenital alopecia in domestic short hair cats, characterized by hair shaft defects and follicular dystrophy similar to those seen in certain mutant mouse strains.

In this study, researchers identified loss of function variants in the HR gene as likely causes of the distinct roaning hair coat seen in lykoi cats.

This study observed that among dermatologists in Spain, topical minoxidil and oral finasteride are the most commonly prescribed treatments for male androgenic alopecia, while oral dutasteride and oral minoxidil have seen increased use in recent years.

This case study reports that a woman with breast cancer experienced persistent alopecia after taxane chemotherapy and endocrine therapy, and significant improvement was seen with topical minoxidil.

This study concluded that the inner root sheath inhibits the expression of certain differentiation markers in hair bulbs, with calcium-induced changes paralleling those seen in hair follicle mid-segments.

In this study, low-dose naltrexone significantly reduced erythema in patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia and lichen planopilaris after one year, but no significant improvements were seen in other symptoms.

This study observed that in a real-world clinical setting in Greece, belimumab effectively controlled disease activity in lupus patients and allowed for a reduction in glucocorticoid dosage, with more pronounced benefits seen in patients who were serologically active at the start of treatment.

This article reviews the cultural, historical, and marketing influences driving female pubic hair removal and argues it is socially seen as normative for aesthetic, hygienic, erotic, and self-image reasons.

This study suggests that autoimmune dysregulation involving HLA-DR+ T and NK cell subsets may contribute to severe patchy alopecia areata and alopecia universalis, with normalization seen after betamethasone treatment.

In this case report, researchers observed that the monoclonal antibody bevacizumab may worsen hypothyroidism in patients, as seen in a 60-year-old woman with metastatic duodenal carcinoma. The authors suggest that thyroid function should be monitored when using VEGF inhibitor therapies due to potential adverse effects.

This study focused on baricitinib's effect on patients with severe alopecia areata, highlighting its efficacy for hair regrowth and its potential to improve health-related quality of life and psychological symptoms, as seen in two phase 3 trials.

In this study, researchers found an increase in daily physical activity during the COVID-19 pandemic among students, with a notable rise in leisure walking and transportation, but also increased weekday sedentary behavior in men.

In this study, baricitinib treatment led to significant regrowth of scalp, eyebrow, and eyelash hair in alopecia areata patients compared to placebo, with higher effectiveness seen at the 4-mg dose.

This study found that overexpression of NSD3 in the mammary gland of transgenic mice led to mammary hyperplasia, dysplasia, and invasive ductal carcinoma, mirroring patterns seen in human breast cancer.

This study observed that human dental pulp stem cells can differentiate into adipocytes and osteocytes, but their potential for neural differentiation remains uncertain due to similar responses seen in undifferentiated cells.

This study evaluated the range and structure of medicinal products available for the treatment of primary cicatricial alopecias in Ukraine, revealing a significant reliance on imported products and a limited selection, which highlights potential for expanding and developing domestic production in this market segment.

This study found that low-level light therapy and fractional lasers are effective and safe treatments for androgenetic alopecia, with the greatest improvements in hair density and thickness seen in combination therapies.

This case report from a kidney transplant patient highlights significant alopecia linked to tacrolimus-based immunosuppression, with improvement seen after switching to cyclosporine A, emphasizing the importance of monitoring and managing hair loss to support treatment adherence and patient quality of life.

This study found a partial positive association between adulthood stressor exposure and hair cortisol levels, but noted inconsistent results across two studies, reflecting variability seen in previous research.

This article explores various skin reactions linked to COVID-19, including "COVID toes" and other rashes, which tend to appear in mild cases, while severe conditions like livedo reticularis are more often seen in critically ill patients, according to medical experts.

This case report highlights an unusual instance of azathioprine potentially triggering rapid alopecia areata and bone marrow suppression in a patient with chronic spontaneous urticaria, with improvement seen after stopping the drug.

This article reviews recent advancements in forensic hair testing, emphasizing its growing use for detecting past substance exposure, identifying emerging trends like micro-segmentation and hair scanning, and proposing standardized procedures to improve reliability and application in forensic toxicology.

This study found that the systemic wrinkled skin phenotype in Xiang pigs involves gene expression changes and genetic variations associated with oxidative stress and extracellular matrix components, resembling features seen in Shar-Pei dogs.

This study observed that JAK inhibitors were effective and safe for treating alopecia totalis and universalis, with improved response rates seen most with ritlecitinib and tofacitinib by week 24.

This study observed that adolescents with alopecia areata receiving ritlecitinib 50 mg daily showed notable hair regrowth over three years, as seen in both clinician- and patient-reported outcomes. However, the decreased number of participants at later stages limits the findings.

In this study, cats fed trace minerals complexed with lysine and glutamic acid displayed temporary improvements in hair loss and dander scores at 45 days, compared to those receiving inorganic trace minerals, although no differences were seen by day 90.
