In this study, researchers found that overexpression of IGF-1 in transgenic mice stimulated increased vibrissa growth during the first neonatal hair cycle compared to their nontransgenic littermates.

This review discusses drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome and drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms, highlighting clinical features, potential viral reactivations, and treatment, but reports no new clinical findings.

This report discusses a request for a health hazard evaluation at Equifax in St. Petersburg, Florida concerning potential workplace exposures related to reported employee health issues, particularly hair loss, but provides no new results.

In this study, researchers found that extrafollicular progenitors marked by Hic1 are the main contributors to reparative fibroblasts in wound repair, with potential to modulate healing outcomes through genetic and pharmacological interventions.

This report describes a child and his father with hereditary hypotrichosis simplex, an uncommon isolated form of hair loss, with no other ectodermal or systemic abnormalities noted.

This study reports that trichocyte intermediate filaments from rat vibrissae and human hair follicles may contain a hollow region at their core, suggesting unique structural properties.

In this study involving genetically modified rats, researchers observed that specific mutations in the vitamin D receptor affect calcium levels and bone formation, emphasizing the receptor's role in maintaining healthy bone density and its importance in regulating hair cycle and skin health.

In this clinical case report, a man with Birt Hogg Dube syndrome presented with parathyroid cancer, the first such case according to the authors, highlighting a potential link between Folliculin gene mutations and parathyroid cancer development.

This study reports that the near-naked hairless mutation in mice is not an allele of the Hairless gene but may involve a mutation in a linked gene or a regulatory mutation.

The research identified six functional hair keratin genes and four pseudogenes, providing insights into hair formation and gene organization.

This study suggests that Merkel cell polyomavirus T antigen-positive cells resembling Merkel cell carcinoma may originate from epithelial cells in human hair follicles, potentially informing future transgenic mouse models for this cancer.

This study suggests that NBCCS and BFHS may be the same genetic condition, which could help improve identification and management of misdiagnosed cases with specific surveillance strategies.

Low androgen levels can still cause female pattern hair loss.

In this case study, researchers detailed two Saudi cases of the ultra-rare Trichohepatoneurodevelopmental syndrome, identifying pathogenic variants in the CCDC47 gene and reinforcing a strong gene-disease association, which helps clarify the disorder's clinical features and genetic mutations.
