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

This study suggests using a handheld dermatoscope may allow for simple and efficient differentiation of eruptive vellus hair cysts by detecting vellus hair shafts, as demonstrated in a familial case involving five women.

This article reviews the role of the hairless protein in hair cycling and gene regulation, noting the need for further understanding of its JmjC domain and subcellular localization roles.

This article reviews treatments for progeria, including aspirin, hydrotherapy, and farnesyl transferase inhibitors, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, the CYP 21A2 gene p.V281L mutation was associated with an increased susceptibility to familial frontal fibrosing alopecia, suggesting an antigen-driven mechanism linked to certain human leukocyte antigen haplotypes.

HGF activator helps convert HGF to its active form, promoting hair growth.

Human hair follicles have their own thyroid hormone system.

This case report describes a young adult female with late-stage Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease featuring panuveitis, retinal detachment, hearing loss, alopecia, and vitiligo, who was successfully treated in a hospital.

This study found that keratin 6hf, a type II keratin, is expressed in specific regions of mouse and human hair and suggests potential interactions with keratin 17, impacting hair development and associated disorders.

This study found a novel R430Q gene mutation in hHb6, which may be linked to the hereditary hair disorder monilethrix in the examined family.

This case series describes three siblings with hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets, highlighting variations in their clinical presentations.

This study identified the Hairless (Hr) gene-encoded protein as a corepressor that plays a crucial role in maintaining skin and hair by regulating epithelial stem cell differentiation and gene expression via chromatin remodeling, which may impact both development and disease.

This study found that the novel drug VDC-1101 showed a 45% objective response rate in treating canine cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, offering a potential treatment option for this challenging disease.

This study utilized 3D ultra-high frequency ultrasound to effectively detect different disease phases of alopecia areata by visualizing hair follicle structures and identifying unique pathological signs, offering a promising non-invasive diagnostic tool that surpasses conventional methods.

3D ultrasound can detect hair follicle changes and disease phases in alopecia areata.

This study found that VDAC2 promotes apoptosis in secondary hair follicle stem cells of Albas cashmere goats by activating the P53 signaling pathway, with knockdown of VDAC2 reducing apoptosis and a P53 inhibitor partially rescuing VDAC2-induced apoptosis.

This study suggests that varicella-zoster virus infection in skin cells may play a role in segmental vitiligo's progression and depigmentation.

This case study observed that high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment significantly improved hair density and reduced hair loss in a female patient with androgenetic alopecia, with no adverse events reported.

The study reports that the AVET system showed higher efficiency in transfecting cultured human keratinocytes compared to SuperFect and PrimeFector, with AVET reaching levels of enzyme activity similar to normal cells in keratinocytes from lamellar ichthyosis patients.

In this case report, a 25-year-old woman with VKHD experienced an unusual occurrence of vellus-like hair growth on her normally hairless palm, observed twice over two years, expanding the known integumentary manifestations of VKHD.

This study used human stem cell-derived skin organoids to model EV-A71 infection, revealing that various skin cell types are susceptible to the virus and identifying a potential drug target and replication inhibitor, suggesting its utility for studying skin infectious diseases and drug screening.

This article discusses the surveillance and spread of hand, foot, and mouth disease in China, Singapore, and Indonesia, and reports no new results, emphasizing the need for improved prevention and management strategies.

This study found that the protein hairless acts as both a corepressor and coactivator of the vitamin D receptor, influencing gene transcription in a ligand-selective manner.

This study outlines the features and diagnosis of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease, highlighting its association with specific genes, its prevalence among pigmented races, and treatment with systemic steroids and immunosuppressants.

In their research, Yucel and colleagues found that CaV1.2 is expressed in hair follicle stem cells, facilitating anagen re-entry in a way not dependent on calcium flux.

This case report describes a rare instance of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease in a 21-year-old Asian woman, highlighting unusual oral manifestations such as tooth discoloration and misalignment, which expand the known clinical spectrum of the disorder.

This study found a novel nonsynonymous genetic variant in the hHb1 gene of a family with monilethrix, which differs from ten previously reported pathogenic mutations.

This study found that intermittent treatment with FTI lonafarnib and sulforaphane may be a promising therapeutic approach for children with Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, as it improved the cellular phenotype.

This study found that certain VDR gene polymorphisms are more prevalent in female pattern hair loss patients than in healthy controls, suggesting these polymorphisms may increase disease risk.

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.
