This study observed that PCR-based genotyping for cre-loxP mice can lead to errors due to cre-mediated recombination in non-target tissues like tails, affecting the detection of lox alleles.

This study highlights that Demodex mites, commonly found on human skin, can cause significant eye and skin issues such as blepharitis, rosacea, and dermatitis when present in abnormally high densities, underscoring the need for targeted management strategies.

This study found that TPA treatment induced expression of keratins K6 and K16 in mouse epidermis, with K6 expressed across all cell layers and K16 only in post-mitotic cells.

Telogen Effluvium is a hair loss condition where treatment involves identifying and managing its triggers.

This protocol paper details methods for live imaging and analysis of dividing germline stem cells in C. elegans and reports no new research findings.

This study found that ablating centrosomes in developing epidermis alters keratinocyte division without majorly affecting differentiation, suggesting early epidermal development is driven by high proliferation and cell delamination.

This study diagnosed an 11-year-old girl with initial androgenetic alopecia and monilethrix after observing unique hair shaft abnormalities and skin conditions, unlike her affected parents.

In this study, telemedicine using trichoscopy for alopecia areata patients showed high concordance with outpatient trichoscopy in image quality and similar levels of patient satisfaction, indicating its effectiveness for follow-up and continuity of care.

This article explores the correlation between alopecia leprotica and Buddhist customs, presenting evidence that leprosy is contracted during infancy or childhood rather than in maturity; it reports no new clinical findings.

KAP genes are crucial for hair development and show both shared and unique traits in humans, chimpanzees, and baboons.

This study found that centrosome ablation in developing epidermis triggers cell surveillance pathways, resulting in thinner skin and halted hair follicle growth, while later stages of epidermal growth may operate independently of basal progenitor division orientation.

This study investigated a spontaneous mutation in mice resulting in hair abnormalities and elevated IgE levels, which resembles human Netherton's syndrome and monilethrix.

In this study, researchers established five new immortalized human dermal papilla cell lines from a male with androgenetic alopecia, which may serve as valuable tools for hair research.

This review discusses the diversity of keratins and keratin-associated proteins in wool and hair, noting significant variation in their families, with no new results reported; the authors detail known protein structures without experimental findings.

In this study, researchers used quantitative fate mapping to investigate how the infundibulum, part of the epidermis, is maintained during adulthood, finding that progenitors maintain this tissue through stochastic cell fate choices, with cells at the bottom providing transient support during hair growth phases.

In this study, researchers observed a high degree of plasticity in somatosensory axons innervating Merkel cells in adult mouse skin, revealing that both epithelial-neural crosstalk and intrinsic neural mechanisms contribute to axonal patterning and remodeling during epithelial homeostasis.

This study demonstrates that PAD1 and PAD3 are involved in hair follicle differentiation, while PAD1 and PAD2 may play a role in the physiology of sweat glands and arrector pili muscles.

This study found that Par3 plays a crucial role in maintaining epidermal homeostasis by regulating Rho/actomyosin contractility and ensuring mitotic accuracy, with potential implications for other self-renewing epithelia.

This study presents a case of a 6-month-old infant girl with hypotrichosis and an alopecic plaque in the occipital region, characterized by broken and dystrophic hairs with follicular papules and perifollicular hyperkeratosis, suggesting a diagnostic consideration.

In this case study, treatment with terbinafine effectively resolved symptoms of tinea capitis in an eight-year-old male, highlighting trichoscopy as a valuable diagnostic tool for this common fungal scalp infection and proposing its integration with clinical data for quicker diagnosis in settings lacking mycological facilities.

This study found that hairless dog breeds have adapted to maintain normal body and core temperatures through structural changes like a thicker epidermis and the role of melanin in thermoregulation, with genetic mechanisms involving the FOXI3 gene governing hairlessness.

This article reviews the role of polarity proteins in epidermal morphogenesis and homeostasis and discusses how their alteration may contribute to skin disease, but reports no new experimental findings.

This study found that type 2 immunity, especially involving ILC2 cells, helps maintain skin homeostasis by regulating the proliferation and community stability of hair follicle epithelial cells in the presence of Demodex mites.

Ovol2 is essential for normal skin and hair regeneration.

This study identified transcription elongation as a crucial regulatory factor in adipocyte cell fate, showing that the elongation factors Spt4 and Spt6 are essential for proper adipogenic differentiation by aiding RNA polymerase II progression through key adipogenic genes.

This study found that CTCF is crucial for proper skin and hair follicle development in mice, affecting keratinocyte differentiation and gene expression in keratin loci.

This case report describes a 53-year-old woman with a rare presentation of trichostasis spinulosa on her breast and abdomen, featuring itchy, comedo-like lesions. Dermoscopy revealed diagnostic features that may eliminate the need for a biopsy, highlighting the potential for non-invasive diagnosis in such cases.

Telogen effluvium is a condition that causes temporary hair loss.
