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.

The vellus index is a simple, quick, and reliable method to assess and monitor hair growth, especially in hirsutism.

This report describes two cases where a viral vector COVID-19 vaccine was associated with the recurrence of cutaneous lymphoma conditions that had been in remission.

This study reports that high-purity rHFSCs with strong proliferation and high VEGF165 expression can be efficiently obtained, facilitating tissue engineering applications like artificial hair follicles and skin construction.

In this study, mutations in the CDH3 gene were identified as the cause of hypotrichosis with juvenile macular dystrophy, and the researchers observed substantial phenotypic variability among affected individuals.

This article discusses the potential of intralesional cidofovir as a treatment for SCC and reports no systemic toxicity, but highlights surgical excision as the most reliable curative option.

This description of dystrophy hypotrichosis associated with juvenile macular dystrophy provides an overview of this rare disorder characterized by short hair from birth and progressive loss of central vision but reports no new findings.

In this case study, a girl with hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets had a novel mutation in the VDR gene that affected hair cycling without causing total alopecia, suggesting ligand-independent VDR function in hair cycling.

This study found that CMV infection in a mouse model of allogeneic transplantation was associated with increased allo-reactive T cell expansion and exacerbated graft-versus-host disease, highlighting the need for effective GvHD prophylaxis and treatment.

This study outlines the Human Gene Correlation Analysis tool, which classifies human genes by coexpression levels and identifies overrepresented annotation terms in correlated gene groups, with no new clinical results reported.

HEM-13HDC, a mix of 8 herbal extracts, helps hair grow and affects hair growth at a molecular level.

This study found that the loss of a functional hr gene in mice leads to premature and abnormal hair follicle regression, disrupting normal hair cycling and architecture.

This study identified complex regulatory elements and interactions involving the Hr gene and HR protein that are crucial for hair follicle formation and cycling in mammals.

This study concluded that the hairless protein interacts with the vitamin D receptor to repress transcription crucial for hair cycling, employing multiple protein interfaces and modulating chromatin structure.

This report describes a case where oral valganciclovir treatment led to improved skin texture and hair regrowth in a patient with trichodysplasia spinulosa.

This study suggests that hair cortisol measurement could serve as an alternative diagnostic method for Cushing’s disease, showing acceptable concordance with urinary free cortisol despite differing evaluated periods.

This study found that concentrations of THCCOOH in hair do not correlate well with self-reported cannabis use due to inaccuracies in the self-reported data, but it provides preliminary insights into usage patterns.

This literature review observed that patients with thrombophilic conditions may experience distinct and more severe Long COVID symptoms, potentially linked to chronic hypercoagulation post-COVID-19 infection.

This report highlights a case where intralesional cidofovir successfully treated squamous cell carcinoma without systemic toxicity, suggesting it may be a viable alternative to surgical excision.

In this study, deleting the -catenin gene in vitamin D receptor-null mice did not prevent tumor development, suggesting -catenin's predicted protective role was not observed.

In this study, researchers found that 11.5% of older outpatients in Vietnam experienced post-COVID-19 hair loss; women, those single or divorced, and individuals with prior COVID-19 hospitalizations were more likely to report hair loss.

Hemp seed biomaterials may reduce hair loss and improve hair growth.

This study reports isolated clitoral hood hair-thread tourniquet syndrome, highlighting the importance of suspicion in females with prominent clitoral hood and genital pain to facilitate timely intervention and tissue preservation.

In this study, researchers identified CENPV as a new CYLD interacting partner that localizes to primary cilia and regulates acetylated tubulin levels, offering insights into the pathogenesis of skin appendage tumors.

This study reports the cloning and sequencing of two type II hair-specific keratin genes, ghHb1 and ghHb6, located on chromosome 12q13, which are expressed during hair growth.

This study found that minicircle-based gene therapy significantly lowered total homocysteine levels and improved liver CBS activity in a mouse model of CBS deficiency.
