This study identified histologic lesions and a defect in adhesion molecules causing hair loss in mice with the bal mutation, linked to a mutation in the desmoglein 3 gene.

This research suggests that the vitamin D receptor may regulate hair follicle cycling and provide genoprotection against skin carcinogenesis through a mechanism independent of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, based on evidence from mouse models.

This pilot clinical study introduces DEC cells as a novel therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, confirming safety and efficacy in seven patients up to 24 months post-treatment.

In a mouse model study, transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) significantly reduced depigmentation in vitiligo, potentially through mechanisms that regulate oxidative stress and inflammation, indicating taVNS's promise as a therapeutic approach for this skin disorder.

This study found that finasteride reduces microvascular density and VEGF expression in the seminal vesicle tissue of rats.

This study suggests that alopecia in vitamin D receptor null mice is due to impaired initiation of the hair cycle rather than defects in keratinocyte proliferation or differentiation.

This study found that dermal papilla cells in human hair follicles exhibit stronger expression of VEGF mRNA and protein compared to other follicular cells, suggesting their key role in angiogenic processes related to hair growth.

This study presents the first reported Spanish case of Hypotrichosis with Juvenile Macular Dystrophy, identifying a new CDH3 mutation and highlighting the importance of clinical and genetic evaluation for accurate diagnosis.

This study identified a splicing-site deletion in the DCAF17 gene associated with Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome in a large consanguineous pedigree, leading to typical phenotypic features.

This article discusses the potential involvement of hair follicle melanocytes in follicular vitiligo, noting a pattern of depigmentation centered on follicles and supported by inflammatory infiltrates, without reporting new clinical results.

This case report describes a patient with alopecia areata treated with diphencyprone, who experienced both successful hair regrowth and later intense hair shedding, compatible with telogen effluvium, suggesting a possible link between contact dermatitis treatments and telogen effluvium onset.

In this study, a novel DCAF17 gene mutation was identified in a Chinese family, suggesting a potential role in pancreatic β cell dysfunction and diabetes development in Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome.

This study found that vibration assisted analgesia reduced pain during intralesional corticosteroid therapy for hair loss, enabling treatment in a broader range of patients, including those with needle phobia.

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 report, a 54-year-old woman with familial dyskeratotic comedones showed slight improvement in skin lesions after topical retinoids and urea cream. This source also describes the first dermoscopic findings for this condition and reviews 21 previous cases.

The I National Academic Congress of Dermatology in 2021 expanded to include participants from across Brazil and discussed dermatology topics, including COVID-19.

This review highlights the crucial role of vitamin D signaling in epidermal stem cells during skin wound healing, emphasizing its distinct functions from calcium metabolism and its importance in genomic regulation mediated by the vitamin D receptor.

In this study, researchers developed ScalpViT, a novel deep learning model, to improve the automated diagnosis of visually similar scalp diseases, achieving 94.3% accuracy and outperforming existing models like ResNet-50 and EfficientNet-B3 when tested on a diverse dataset of 7,000 images.

This study found that VEGF stimulates the proliferation of human hair follicle dermal papilla cells via the VEGFR-2/ERK pathway, without involving p38, JNK, or AKT signaling.

In this study, VB-1 was reported to promote human hair follicle growth by enhancing Wnt/β-catenin signaling and increasing human dermal papilla cell proliferation in vitro.

This study found that rat hair follicle stem cells can be effectively transfected with VEGF 165 using lentivirus vectors, suggesting their potential use in developing tissue-engineered skin with improved vascularization.

This case report describes a patient in whom vitiligo was induced by diphenylcyclopropenone treatment for alopecia universalis, highlighting the potential overlap of susceptibility genes between the two conditions.

This report describes two cases of VKH disease and SO where severe alopecia, likely due to incomplete treatment, improved following systemic steroid therapy.

This study found that mimicking the XPD point mutation in mice resulted in trichothiodystrophy-like symptoms, supporting the role of basal transcription and DNA repair defects in the disease.

In this study, researchers developed an AI-powered platform called VitaDetect, which screens for vitamin deficiencies using image analysis of nails, tongue, and skin, aiming to provide an accessible and early-stage detection tool in resource-limited settings.

In this study conducted at the Vitebsk Regional Clinical Center, digital video microscopy without biopsy effectively identified diagnostic criteria for non-scarring alopecia in 315 patients, allowing for the prescription of appropriate treatments for alopecia areata and androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that individuals with heterozygous truncation-type variants in the *DSP* gene exhibit lower skin temperature and higher transepidermal water loss, with specific microscopic skin changes and pseudomonilethrix.

In this study, VD(3) pretreatment increased hair follicle formation in a rat model by promoting dermal papilla cell differentiation, suggesting potential for hair regeneration therapy.
