This study described the clinical and genetic features of two Iranian siblings with hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets, identifying a specific VDR gene mutation contributing to their symptoms.

This study suggests that dermal Vδ1+ T-cells in human skin can promote alopecia areata by interacting with stressed hair follicles, potentially providing a target for new treatments.

This report describes a unique case of hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets (HVDRR) in a dog, caused by a VDR gene mutation resulting in severe hypocalcemia and bone issues, which presented with symptoms similar to those observed in humans.

This study found that wavy sinus hairs in cats were significantly associated with feline leukemia virus infection, suggesting this physical trait might be useful for identifying infected cats.

Hairless protein helps control hair growth by regulating vitamin D receptor activity.

This study mapped a spontaneous mouse hair mutation, "hague," to keratin genes on chromosome 15 but found no gene mutations in hague mice.

The mutation causes hairless mice due to mislocalized and dysfunctional HR protein.

This review discusses the integration of ultrasound in dermatology for improved lesion visualization and diagnosis, highlighting recent technological advancements like handheld devices and high-frequency probes, and reports no clinical results.

A 308 nm excimer laser successfully treated a boy with a rare skin condition after about a year of weekly sessions.

This study reported that exposure to 1,763 MHz radiofrequency radiation stimulated hair growth in vitro by inducing insulin-like growth factor-1 expression in cultured human dermal papilla cells.

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 study found that Epstein-Barr virus infection upregulated a truncated variant of human basic hair keratin 1 (hHb1-ΔN) in gastric carcinoma cell lines, suggesting a possible link to carcinoma differentiation.

This study identified two distinct VDR gene mutations among Lebanese families with hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets, noting varied treatment responses and promising outcomes despite severe phenotypes.

Two girls experienced temporary hair loss after getting the HPV vaccine, which may be related to the vaccine.

This study suggests that the vitamin D receptor and hairless gene may directly regulate each other via a transcriptional mechanism, potentially explaining phenotypic similarities between atrichia and VDRRIIa rickets.

This study found that mutations in exon 3 of the hr gene are strongly associated with congenital hypotrichosis in Valle del Belice sheep, suggesting a potential genetic link to the disorder.

This review discusses genetic mutations associated with Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome and reports no clinical results; the authors emphasize the importance of cardiovascular monitoring in management.

This study found that breast carcinomas ectopically express a truncated form of hHb1 mRNA, which is associated with epithelial cell transformation.

This study discovered a novel interaction between the vitamin D receptor and LEF1, essential for normal Wnt signaling in keratinocytes, which is crucial for regular hair cycling.

This study reports a case of dermatophytosis in an 11-month-old spayed female dog, which exhibited alopecia in the neck and ear tip regions, a condition common in tropical and temperate climates and caused by fungi affecting both animals and humans.

This study found that 70-MHz ultrasound can detect early signs of hidradenitis suppurativa linked to severity, including hair follicle abnormalities and keratin fragmentation, aiding in diagnosis and management.

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 study observed hair-specific transcription of a reporter gene in transgenic mice, with increased expression after dexamethasone and ultraviolet B treatment.

Er:YAG laser therapy effectively treats Hailey-Hailey disease, leading to long-term remission and improved quality of life.

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

This article reviews the genetic diversity, clinical symptoms, diagnosis, and prevention strategies of feline calicivirus in domestic cats, but reports no new clinical results; it emphasizes the importance of vaccination and proper hygiene.

In this randomized study, patients with early favorable Hodgkin lymphoma showed similar complete remission and survival rates whether receiving 2 or 4 cycles of ABVD and 20 Gy or 30 Gy IFRT, though reduced toxicity was associated with fewer cycles and lower radiation doses.

This study identified a new type II cytokeratin, named K6hf, exclusively expressed in the companion layer of the human hair follicle, distinguishing it from other keratins and suggesting a unique biochemical role.

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