This study reports that compound heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in the HEPHL1 gene in a child were associated with abnormal hair and cognitive issues, linking altered ferroxidase activity to hair disorders.

In this retrospective study of eight Saudi children with hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets, researchers observed that adjunctive cinacalcet appeared safe and showed initial promise in improving serum PTH levels, though further investigation is needed to confirm its efficacy.

This study suggests that the C-terminal of AHF is crucial for its binding to keratin bundles and modulating the keratin meshwork in hair follicles.

Hox genes control hair follicle stem cell regeneration in different body regions.

This study found that HIF-P4H-2 function in FoxD1-lineage cells is crucial for normal hair follicle development and homeostasis in mice, implicating disrupted HIF, TGF-β, and Notch signaling pathways in associated defects.

This study reported a series of eight children with hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets in Tunisia, identifying both common and novel mutations in the vitamin D receptor gene, and noting significant improvement with intravenous calcium treatment in most patients.

This study found that the fuzzy mutation in mice is linked to both structural hair defects and accelerated hair follicle cycling, influencing the regulation of hair cycle phases such as catagen and anagen.

Mutations in the hHb6 gene cause the hair disorder monilethrix.

This study identified two novel point mutations in the hHb6 gene associated with monilethrix, suggesting these mutations could serve as diagnostic markers for this genetic hair disorder.

This study found that human hair follicles demonstrated a dose-dependent response to light in an ex vivo photoepilation model, which could predict the clinical efficacy and permanency of light-based hair removal devices.

This study found that 448-kHz Capacitive-Resistive Electrothermal Therapy led to a significant increase in hair density in women with Female Pattern Hair Loss, likely due to stimulated proliferation of dermal papilla cells.

This study found that most adverse events reported for HPV vaccines in the VAERS system were non-serious and already known, although less common events suggest the need for further examination.

This case report identifies a novel CDH3 gene mutation associated with hypotrichosis with juvenile macular dystrophy in a 13-year-old Turkish girl, highlighting implications for future genetic analysis and counseling.

This study reports a novel missense mutation in the HR gene in a 68-year-old Hungarian woman with alopecia universalis and limb deformities, suggesting a need for further research on its role in these conditions.

This review covers recent developments in inner ear therapeutics and gene delivery methods but reports no new clinical results; it highlights potential strategies for treating hearing and balance disorders.

This study developed a novel monoclonal antibody, TYHF-1, which specifically reacts with hair keratins but not with epidermal keratins or various other tissue cells.

This study found that the heat shock cognate protein Hsc70 was differentially expressed by dihydrotestosterone treatment in SV40-transformed dermal papilla cells, suggesting its involvement in androgen action on these cells.

This study found that the purified compound VB1 from Vitex negundo seeds may reduce UVA-induced skin aging by targeting MAPK1 and demonstrated its potential in mice.

A boy with a rare birthmark called verrucous hemangioma needed careful timing for surgery due to its size and depth.

This study identified a novel insertion mutation in the hairless gene that may contribute to the development of congenital atrichia with papular lesions in a Pakistani family.

In this study, mutations in the vitamin D receptor were identified in Brazilian children with rickets and alopecia, leading to impaired receptor activation and reduced 24-hydroxylase expression.

This study presents a novel in vitro assay using human folliculoid microspheres to research hair growth, which may facilitate preclinical testing of hair growth-modulatory agents.

In this case study, hypertrichosis in a patient with hemophilia and hepatitis C may have been induced by IFN-alpha treatment, despite the drug usually causing hair loss.

In this case study, a 19-year-old woman with Henoch-Schönlein purpura, potentially triggered by hepatitis B vaccination, experienced improved symptoms after correcting low vitamin D levels and undergoing tonsillectomy, demonstrating these interventions may benefit similar patients.

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.

This study found that a specific genetic mutation in the Fgf5 gene may contribute to the long-hair trait in Angora rabbits by reducing the binding capacity of the FGF5 protein.

This study developed an efficient method for isolating and enriching multipotent ovine hair follicle stem cells, which may aid in research on the ovine hair cycle and future wool production.

This study reports that gastrointestinal problems, such as intractable diarrhea and enterocolitis, can dominate the clinical course of patients with Hoyeraal-Hreidarsson syndrome and may occur before hematological and immunological symptoms.

This study suggests that the harlequin ichthyosis mouse model closely resembles human type 2 harlequin ichthyosis, indicating its potential as a useful model for studying the human condition.
