This letter to the editor documents a case where chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy is associated with alopecia totalis and Sjögren syndrome, but reports no new clinical findings.

This case report describes improvement in amenorrhea, alopecia, and muscle spasms in a 13-year-old girl with Satoyoshi syndrome following treatment with daily tacrolimus and alternate-day oral prednisolone.

This case report describes a patient with eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome related to L-tryptophan use, detailing the specific symptoms and laboratory abnormalities observed.

This study observed that in live rodents, actin filaments adjust their structure to facilitate membrane transfer between cellular compartments; linear filaments stabilize fused membranes, while branched filaments, connected by the protein Ezrin, drive integration, demonstrating actin's role in adapting to membrane biophysical changes.

In this study of 30 severe anorexia nervosa patients, true acquired pili torti was not found although twisted hair was observed in 6.6% of cases.

This study hypothesizes that curly hair is shaped by the contraction of the Arrector Pili Muscle within the follicle, potentially modifiable through muscle-relaxing treatments, but further research is needed to confirm this mechanism.

"D-CHRAMPS syndrome" is a newly identified condition with multiple severe symptoms.

This study found that transplanted human hair keratin may help reduce damage and promote function recovery in spinal cord injuries in rats.

This study suggests that over-expression of Sp2 may limit stem cell differentiation and contribute to tumorigenic cell growth in mice.

This study found that certain gene sets, including those involved in ligand-gated ion channel signaling and cell adhesion, are associated with Tourette syndrome, suggesting a potential neurobiological basis for the disorder.

Trichodysplasia spinulosa can occur after a heart transplant due to immunosuppressive drugs.

This study found that (-)-blebbistatin significantly inhibited liver fibrosis in mouse models by reducing tissue stiffness and myofibroblast activation, indicating potential for developing broad-spectrum antifibrotic drugs.

Foam sclerotherapy for varicose veins may cause unexpected hair growth.

This case study reported transient localized hypertrichosis in a 26-year-old woman following cast removal from a forearm fracture, which resolved on its own after 5 months, suggesting that similar incidents of hair growth after trauma may have a benign and temporary course.

This study identified four novel mutations in the C2orf37 gene among Woodhouse–Sakati syndrome patients, doubling known mutations, and found no significant link between isolated symptoms like deafness and dystonia and these mutations.

This study found that scanning electron microscopy revealed considerable abnormalities in hair morphology in MPS I, II, IIIA, and IIIB patients, potentially related to heparan sulfate accumulation.

This case report described a 67-year-old man with moderate psoriasis who developed persistent generalized hypertrichosis after 4 months of treatment with secukinumab.

Timely diagnosis of SLE is crucial due to symptom overlap with fibromyalgia.

This article discusses the evolving use of botulinum toxin for medical and aesthetic purposes, highlighting its potential benefits for conditions like headaches and cerebral palsy, and notes ongoing regulatory challenges.

Resident memory T cells and necroptosis may drive fibrosis in eosinophilic fasciitis and morphea.

This case report details a 28-year-old male who developed trichotillomania following a traumatic brain injury, highlighting diagnostic challenges in distinguishing overlapping psychiatric and compulsive behaviors, and underscores the importance of a comprehensive, multidisciplinary treatment approach.

This study found that sodium valproate improved seizure control in children with epilepsy, with increased weight gain being the most common side effect reported.

A new mutation in the TRPS1 gene caused Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome in a 17-year-old, highlighting the need for genetic testing.

In this study, researchers found histopathological similarities between L-tryptophan eosinophilic myalgia syndrome and idiopathic eosinophilic fasciitis, with certain unique inflammatory features present in the former.

In this study, amputees in Shanghai with amputation stump skin disease experienced severely reduced quality of life, with fungal infections and extended prosthetic wear identified as significant risk factors.

This case report describes the first confirmed instance of trichodysplasia spinulosa in a child with Down syndrome and leukemia, linking it to the TS-associated polyomavirus.

Suplatast tosilate successfully treated a woman's systemic sclerosis symptoms.

In this study, certain cysteine residues in Romney sheep wool fibers were labeled more often during stretching tests, particularly under wet conditions, suggesting variability in their disulfide bond contributions to fiber mechanics depending on hydration.

This study explored a mother and daughter with loose anagen hair syndrome linked to wooly hair, identifying an intronic variant in the KRT71 gene that affects hair keratin splicing, thus broadening the spectrum of KRT71-related disorders.

This abstract provides no results, as it pertains to a presentation on determining hip muscle forces using an EMG-to-force processing model.
