This study identified two key pentapeptide quasi-repeats in human keratin-associated proteins, which are similar to motifs found in sheep wool.

This study concluded that etretinate showed only moderate effects in treating lichen sclerosus and localized scleroderma, with some patients experiencing clearing but others having no resolution or lesion progression.

This article reviews expert opinions on combining pharmacologic treatments like minoxidil with hair transplantation, reporting improved hair density and regrowth in patients with partially functioning follicles.

In this study, researchers used cryo-electron microscopy to reveal how the natural compound osthole inhibits TRPV3 channels by binding to specific sites, changing the channel's conformation.

This review examines the effects of menopause on skin aging and suggests hormone replacement therapy may improve some symptoms, without providing new clinical findings.

In this study, men taking 1 mg/day of finasteride for 12 months showed minor metabolic changes and slight improvements in glucose metabolism.

This report describes an 84-year-old man who developed severe autoimmune hemolytic anemia after receiving the first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, highlighting a potential, rare side effect without proving causation.

In this small study, topical minoxidil 2% was associated with an increase in normal hair shaft production in patients with Monilethrix without any reported side effects.

This report describes two cases where lichen planopilaris may have compromised the hair follicles in both donor and recipient areas following follicular unit transplantation.

Fibroblasts from healthy donors can prevent changes seen in recessive epidermolysis bullosa simplex.

This study explored the development of polymeric nanoparticles for topical spironolactone delivery, finding that larger nanoparticles (180 nm) enhanced drug targeting to hair follicles significantly more than smaller ones or non-nanoparticle formulations, offering promise for safer acne and alopecia treatments.

This review explores the role of neutrophil recruitment in the inflammation seen in hidradenitis suppurativa and emphasizes potential therapeutic targets within these pathways, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study presents computational modeling and experimental analysis of the HGT protein KAP8.1, identifying key structural features that may influence hair's response to environmental conditions.

This article is a letter to the editor about fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution and reports no new research findings.

This review highlights current treatment options for frontal fibrosing alopecia, noting that 5-α-reductase inhibitors, intralesional steroids, and hydroxychloroquine have the highest evidence of effectiveness, while other therapies show variable results and need further research.
