This study identified nine pathogenic variants in the PADI3 gene and variants in the S100A3 and TCHH genes in patients with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, suggesting a broader genetic basis for the disease and potential targets for genetic testing and therapies.

This study found that 10.3% of female high school students in Islamabad screened positive for PCOS, with associations including irregular menstrual cycles and higher BMI among those testing positive.

In this study, researchers characterized the retinal structure and function of the Oat^rhg mouse model of gyrate atrophy, finding localized atrophy without significant retina-wide functional impact, suggesting the model may be useful for testing new treatments using multimodal retinal imaging.

In this study, researchers found that mosaic PLCD1 hotspot variants, even without the recognized germline "risk allele," may be a rare but significant genetic cause of nevus trichilemmocysticus, warranting DNA testing and sensitive sequencing technologies for accurate diagnosis.

In this study, the researchers used molecular docking to identify Erythrabyssin II from Erythrina subumbrans as a potential candidate for anti-alopecia treatment, comparable to minoxidil, suggesting clinical trials are needed to evaluate its pharmacological effects.

The researchers identified a pathogenic variant in the SRD5A2 gene among siblings with 46,XY disorder of sexual development, highlighting the importance of comprehensive genetic testing in diagnosis and management.

In this study, researchers described protocols using C3H/HeJ mice to reliably induce alopecia areata through full-thickness skin grafts or adoptive transfer of cultured lymphoid cells, offering valuable models for studying the disease and testing new drug therapies.

This source provides an overview of diagnostic and treatment innovations for gastrointestinal disorders, such as wireless capsule technology for motility assessment and new methods for treating constipation and nausea, highlighting both current and emerging techniques.

In this animal study, researchers found that exposure to a CO2 laser at various power levels caused significant skin damage in rats, including severe burns, coagulation, and tissue obliteration, with higher laser doses resulting in more pronounced injuries.

In this study, the researchers found that a high percentage of young women with alopecia had deficiencies in Vitamin D, zinc, ferritin, and haemoglobin levels, suggesting the importance of testing these factors in such cases.

This case report details the diagnosis and management of argininosuccinate lyase deficiency in an infant, emphasizing initial symptoms, treatment strategies, and subsequent liver transplant leading to recovery.

This study found that alkaloids isolated from Cucumis metuliferus fruit pulp demonstrated antiviral activity against IBDV in chicken embryo fibroblast cells and NDV in 10-day-old embryonated chicken eggs, while being non-cytotoxic.

This case study reports an unusual presentation of erosive lichen planus of the scalp linked to hepatitis C in a patient, highlighting challenges in establishing a definitive correlation between the two conditions.
