Vascular endothelial growth factor might be involved in common hair loss.

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.

In this study, no significant association was found between the VDR FokI gene polymorphism and alopecia areata, though further research in diverse populations is needed.

This review explores the role of lymphatic vessels in skin regeneration and hair follicle growth, emphasizing their interactions with hair follicle stem cells and potential implications for regenerative therapies, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that depleting HIF-P4H-2 in FoxD1-lineage cells in mice led to disrupted hair follicle development, resulting in truncal alopecia but normal cranial hair, suggesting its crucial role in hair homeostasis.

This article reviews current understanding of Hutchinson–Gilford Progeria Syndrome and suggests RNA-based treatments show promise, but no new clinical findings are reported.

This study found that mechanical stress activates a WISP-1/Hedgehog signaling axis that contributes to ligamentum flavum hypertrophy and fibrosis, identifying Hedgehog signaling as a potential therapeutic target.

This study identified a novel locus for hereditary hypotrichosis simplex on chromosome 13q12.12~12.3 in a four-generation Chinese family.

This case study highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in diagnosing and managing Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome, particularly emphasizing the role dermatologists can play in identifying early signs such as hair loss.

This study identified a new genotype, V281+I172N/V281L, linked to non-classical 21-hydroxylase deficiency, suggesting it should be considered in genetic panels for the condition.

This study found that variations in Kv1 channel gene expression in the electric organ of Sternopygus correlate with sex differences and individual variations in their electric communication signals.

This review discusses recent insights into Birt–Hogg–Dube syndrome, including the functions of the FLCN gene and clinical recommendations for screening and treatment, but it reports no new experimental results.

This study found that hairless mice with homozygous mutations developed significantly more aggressive basal cell carcinomas and a heightened inflammatory response to UVB exposure compared to their haired littermates.

This study observed that in varicella, the varicella-zoster virus spreads to dermal endothelial cells before reaching keratinocytes, whereas in herpes zoster, it first involves cutaneous nerves and pilosebaceous units.

This study found that the hHa1-t protein variant, caused by a genetic polymorphism in the hHa1 gene, forms functional keratin filaments despite lacking a complete nonhelical tail domain, explaining the absence of a pathological hair phenotype.

HGF combined with ADA is highly accurate for diagnosing tuberculous pleural effusion, especially in younger females.

This study identified a novel pathogenic splice-site variant of the LAMB3 gene in patients with junctional epidermolysis bullosa, highlighting the importance of gene sequencing for diagnosis.

This symposium updated participants on the latest advances in understanding and managing hidradenitis suppurativa, emphasizing the need for individualized treatment plans and highlighting recent progress in therapies and epidemiology.

A 4-year-old girl had a rare hair disorder affecting only part of her scalp.

This case report details a severe instance of VDR-II where intravenous calcium infusions, administered nightly, successfully improved clinical, radiological, and biochemical signs of rickets without alopecia despite ineffective calcitriol therapy.

This study identified a novel gene, hacl-1, that is specifically expressed in the hair follicles of ICR mouse skin and is associated with their active state.

This review synthesizes the diverse roles of the transcription factor LHX2 in development, tissue maintenance, and injury repair across various organ systems, highlighting its potential therapeutic applications and significance in regenerative medicine, particularly in developmental disorders and tissue regeneration.

This study reports that a novel frameshift mutation in the HTRA1 gene in a CARASIL pedigree led to reduced HTRA1 protein and increased TGF-β1 expression, potentially causing severe CARASIL and peripheral small arterial disease.

This study found that the lack of expression and deletion of specific hair keratin genes on chromosome 7q36 in Hirosaki hairless rats suggests the crucial role of these genes in hair growth.

This study found that intravenous transplantation of human hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stem cells improved trabecular bone mass in osteoporotic mice by enhancing bone formation and reducing bone resorption.

This study reports the successful generation of inducible pluripotent stem cells from mesenchymal stem cells derived from human hair follicles, marking a novel method of reprogramming these cells.

This study suggests that folliculin, mutated in Birt–Hogg–Dubé syndrome, and its partner FNIP1 may play a role in energy and nutrient sensing through the AMPK and mTOR pathways.

Hair follicle stem cells can become heart muscle cells.

In this study, a 10-year-old girl developed vitiligo and psoriasis during IFN-alfa treatment for chronic hepatitis B, with neither condition improving after stopping the therapy.

This case report describes a possible association between Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease and linear IgA/IgG bullous dermatosis in a 35-year-old Japanese male, though coincidence cannot be ruled out.
