This study identified "HTLV-1-associated lichenoid dermatitis" as a skin condition in HTLV-1-infected individuals, characterized by reactive eruptions associated with increased immunity toward infected CD4+ T cells.

This case report describes a 12-year-old boy who developed severe shingles with skin erosion and hair loss despite early aciclovir treatment after a stem-cell transplant for relapsed acute myeloid leukemia.

This review discusses fixed drug eruption (FDE) potentially linked to finasteride and emphasizes dermatologists' need to recognize its possible occurrence due to the drug's widespread use, but reports no new clinical results.

This report describes three cases of hypertrichosis lanuginosa acquisita occurring after cytotoxic chemotherapy for cancer, suggesting a possible relationship which is discussed alongside a review of existing literature.

This case study suggests that autoimmunity involving cytotoxic CD8+ T cells may link alopecia areata and human T-cell lymphotropic virus-1-associated myelopathy in adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma patients.

CD8+ virtual memory T cells may cause hair loss in alopecia areata.

This report describes a novel mutation in the CDH3 gene in an 11-year-old Iranian boy with hypotrichosis and juvenile macular dystrophy, indicating a new genetic variant associated with the disorder.

In this study, researchers created a comprehensive transcriptome map of human hair follicle compartments, identifying compartment-specific genes and providing a resource for potential therapeutic interventions.

This paper reports two cases of telogen effluvium in children following HPV vaccination, resolving spontaneously but associated with social and emotional distress.

This case report highlights two instances of suspected human herpesvirus 6 reactivation in patients with existing psychiatric disorders, underscoring the need for further research into the relationship between viral reactivation and psychiatric conditions.

This study found that Hairless (Hr) acts as a corepressor of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) in human keratinocytes, blocking the action of vitamin D on keratinocyte differentiation.

This case report identified a 6-month-old girl with congenital generalized hypertrichosis and gingival hyperplasia, where a de novo CNV on chromosome 17q24.2-24.3 was associated with reduced expression of ABCA5 and SOX9.

This study reported a case of hereditary vitamin D–resistant rickets caused by a single heterozygous missense mutation in the VDR gene, showing dominant-negative effects and reduced response to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3.

This study found that visual hair density is better correlated with hair count and shaft diameter, leading to the development of the Hair Diameter Index used in planning hair restoration procedures.

Patients often experience long-lasting changes to their hair after stem cell transplants.

In this study, two cases of cutis verticis gyrata were associated with chronic traction alopecia due to tight hairstyles, highlighting the need to consider hairstyling history in diagnosis and management.

This trial found that intradermal injections of the Hair Stimulating Complex were well-tolerated and effectively stimulated hair growth and prevented hair loss in male pattern baldness participants over 18 weeks.

A new test helps find drugs to treat head and neck cancer by targeting c-Rel.

This study found that the mutant hairless rhino bald protein in mice interacts with the vitamin D receptor but cannot repress its transactivation and shows abnormal cellular localization.

This study observed that CDH3-related congenital hypotrichosis with juvenile macular dystrophy presents with childhood-onset progressive chorioretinal atrophy and universally thin and sparse scalp hair.

Immunocompromised patients can develop skin and hair issues due to a virus.

In this retrospective study of eight Saudi children with hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets, researchers observed that adjunctive cinacalcet appeared safe and showed initial promise in improving serum PTH levels, though further investigation is needed to confirm its efficacy.

This study found that telocytes in human scalp tissue were located around hair follicles and glands and may be involved in skin regeneration and homeostasis.

In liver cancer cells, this study found that upregulating hsa_circ_0002980 inhibits cell proliferation, metastasis, and EMT by modulating the miR-1303/CADM2 axis, suggesting it as a potential therapeutic target.

This case study highlights a pediatric instance of eruptive vellus hair cysts partially responding to calcipotriene cream, aiming to remind clinicians about this often overlooked condition.

This piece marks the tenth anniversary of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery and highlights the addition of 14 new diplomates from diverse countries, while reporting no new clinical findings.

This study suggests that hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhotic men is associated with altered sex-steroid metabolism, indicated by lower testosterone and 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone levels compared to cirrhosis alone.

This study found that a catalytically active version of Vav2 significantly altered gene expression patterns in hair follicle stem cells in mice, with these changes varying over the animals' lifespans.
