This study provides definitive evidence that a homozygous mutation in the DSC3 gene causes skin fragility and hypotrichosis in humans.

This review discusses Cronkhite-Canada syndrome, highlighting a relatively mild case and suggesting that it may be a more benign and possibly reversible condition with treatment, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp is frequently misdiagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma, highlighting the need for careful differentiation to avoid unnecessary treatments.

This report describes almost complete resolution of calcinosis and healing of associated ulcers in an 83-year-old woman with localized scleroderma after repeated intralesional steroid injections.

Certain patient characteristics can help predict hair regrowth success with ritlecitinib in alopecia areata.

This study observed that systemic acitretin improved symptoms in 75% of lichen planopilaris patients, despite varied responses and a dominant female prevalence.

This study reports previously unreported nail features in Cronkhite-Canada syndrome, specifically recurrent onychomadesis of all 20 nails linked to systemic illness.

This study identified a high-risk allele in the PLCD1 gene associated with hereditary trichilemmal cyst formation, proposing a monoallelic two-hit mechanism as the underlying genetic pathogenesis.

This review discusses the complex and variable presentation of polycystic ovary syndrome, emphasizing the need for consistent diagnostic criteria and individualized treatment strategies but reports no new clinical results.

This source reports that SET may offer notable cosmetic improvements and enhance well-being for patients with CA, serving as a cost-effective treatment option either alone or alongside hair transplantation.

This study observed that donor strip scar width after hair transplantation was correlated with preoperative scalp laxity and elasticity but not with glidability.

This case report describes a 30-year-old female with overlap syndrome involving systemic lupus erythematosus and scleroderma, where individualized treatment significantly reduced her pericardial effusion.

This case report describes a young man diagnosed with encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis who had unique bilateral optic disc colobomas, a previously unreported association with this syndrome.

This article discusses the potential of intralesional cidofovir for treating SCC without systemic toxicity, noting that surgical excision remains the best treatment option; it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that evaluating terminal hair growth on the chin, thighs, and either the upper lip or lower abdomen could streamline the modified Ferriman-Gallwey scoring, aiding hirsutism diagnosis under pandemic conditions.

This study identified a new subtype of lichen planopilaris that mimics androgenetic alopecia, selectively affecting vellus hair follicles and presenting unique histopathological features.

Elderly patients with CCCA were all African American with low vitamin D, but no iron or zinc deficiencies, and no hormonal imbalances compared to younger patients.

This narrative review discusses the presentation and progression of discoid lupus erythematosus in chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus and does not report new research findings.

This study presents an evaluation system that helps hair restoration surgeons better identify candidates for alopecia-reducing procedures, resulting in more consistently good outcomes by excluding poor and borderline candidates.

A score of 6 or less is recommended to diagnose hirsutism in Colombian women.

This study found that combining dermoscopy with reflectance confocal microscopy is more sensitive and specific than using either method alone for assessing vitiligo disease activity and treatment response. Additionally, specific characteristics observed via these techniques correlated with either good or poor treatment outcomes.

This study highlights ongoing limitations in the administration and reporting of FACE-Q Aesthetic scale data, recommending that future research follow the User's Guide for proper administration and scoring, justify the study's time frame, and provide sample size calculations for key outcomes.

This case report details a 73-year-old woman with systemic sarcoidosis, whose scalp biopsy revealed features consistent with both sarcoidosis and frontal fibrosing alopecia, emphasizing the necessity of biopsy in complex alopecia diagnoses.

This study found that dermatology consultations in a tertiary care center often led to treatment changes, particularly for complex dermatologic conditions potentially linked to systemic disease.

This study identified a 14,883 bp genomic deletion affecting the Plcd1 and Vill genes as likely responsible for the abnormal phenotype observed in snthr-1Bao mice.

This study found that scurvy is associated with the development of Sjögren's syndrome symptoms, which resolved with ascorbic acid repletion.

This case report presents a patient with necrobiosis lipoidica exhibiting transepithelial elimination of cholesterol crystals through hair follicles, a finding previously associated with necrobiotic xanthogranuloma.

This study found that certain C57BL/6 mouse substrains have a genetic vulnerability to skin lesions resembling central centrifugal cicatrical alopecia in humans, potentially worsened by high vitamin A levels.

This study found that LSD1 is crucial for embryonic skin barrier formation in mice, revealing its significant role in epidermal development and suggesting its potential as a target in skin diseases with barrier defects.

This case report describes a rare occurrence of pincer nail deformity in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus, potentially linked to Raynaud's phenomena as a contributing factor.
