This study observed that some patients with homozygous c.736T>A mutation in LIPH may have mild hypotrichosis with long hairs in adulthood.

This description of dystrophy hypotrichosis associated with juvenile macular dystrophy provides an overview of this rare disorder characterized by short hair from birth and progressive loss of central vision but reports no new findings.

This study generated a transcriptomic map of human hair follicles, identifying compartment-specific gene expression profiles that can aid in developing targeted therapies for hair follicle disorders.

Lack of vitamin D receptor increases skin tumor risk by boosting hedgehog signaling.

This study highlights a rare case of vitamin D-dependent rickets type 2A caused by a heterozygous mutation in the vitamin D receptor gene, emphasizing the complexity of managing this condition with high-dose calcium and vitamin D therapy.

This study demonstrated that prevascularized human skin constructs containing engineered hair follicles can successfully induce human hair growth when grafted onto mice by promoting blood supply to the grafted skin.

This study identified a new cis-regulatory element in the mouse Hr gene that influences its expression in skin and brain cells, highlighting a complex molecular network involved in hair follicle formation.

This case study and literature review describe eruptive vellus hair cysts as uncommon, potentially inherited or acquired lesions, associated with other skin conditions, and challenging to treat despite being benign.

In this study, researchers developed a method to efficiently derive contractile smooth muscle cells from human hair follicle stem cells using TGF-β1 and PDGF-BB, which may advance vascular tissue engineering.

This case report details the first known instance of interferon-induced lichen planus in a seronegative HCV patient with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

This study re-examined the structure of lanceolate endings in rat vibrissae, suggesting that their apical cones may function as a transducer site for detecting hair movements.

In this study, researchers used synchrotron X-ray imaging to examine rat vibrissa follicles, finding that despite variations in vibrissa length and follicle size, certain sensory structures remain consistent, suggesting specialized roles in sensory processing depending on the vibrissa type.

This study found that VR1 activation in human hair follicles inhibited hair growth by suppressing proliferation and promoting apoptosis, suggesting VR1 plays an important role in hair growth regulation.

This study found that the absence of unliganded vitamin D receptor significantly impairs cWnt and hedgehog signaling pathways necessary for hair cycle initiation in VDR-null mice.

This study reported that immortalizing human dermal papilla cells using HPV16 E6/E7 oncogenes increased their proliferation and maintained their hair follicle formation capability, potentially facilitating in vitro hair growth and regeneration research.

This study found that hHbl gene expression is localized in the cortical cells of the human hair shaft and is notably high in pilomatricoma cells transitioning to hair shaft keratinocytes.

This study found that the repressive histone mark H2AK119ub links inhibitory FGF signals with the quiescent state in hair follicle stem cells, revealing a signaling-epigenetic axis crucial for maintaining stem cell quiescence and tissue homeostasis.

This study identified a novel heterozygous missense mutation in the hHb3 gene associated with monilethrix, highlighting its role in this hair disorder.

In this study, researchers observed that the success of treating hereditary vitamin D–resistant rickets in children depends on the mutation location in the VDR gene, notably with favorable dental development outcomes for those with the p.R391S mutation, despite persistent alopecia.

In this study, a transgenic mouse model suggested that suppressing the expression of the HGPS mutation may reverse disease symptoms, including skin abnormalities, supporting the potential for treatment development.

This study reported that peginterferon alpha-2a showed high early and sustained virologic response rates in Albanian hemodialyzed patients with hepatitis C, despite causing several adverse effects.

In this study, a high daily dose of interferon alfa-2b administered initially six times a week for two weeks followed by thrice weekly for 12 weeks was most effective in sustaining normal ALT values in patients.

This study found that VEGF significantly enhances perifollicular vascularization during the hair growth phase, accelerating hair regrowth and increasing follicle and hair size, while its inhibition retards hair growth.

This letter discusses a case of Hepatitis C-related vitiligo in a patient with Ivemark syndrome and presents no new clinical results.

This study identified a novel CDH3 mutation associated with sparse hair and pigmentary macular changes in two siblings with hypotrichosis but no visual symptoms.

CaBP1 and CaBP2 are necessary for proper hearing and neurotransmission in the ear's inner hair cells.

CaBP1 and CaBP2 are necessary for proper hearing and neurotransmission in the ear's inner hair cells.

This study found that inhibiting class I histone deacetylases in postnatal mouse dermal cells preserved their ability to induce hair follicles during culture by increasing specific gene expressions and activating the Wnt signaling pathway.

In this study, only Vdr-knockout rats showed both abnormal skin formation and alopecia, which may provide insights into vitamin D receptor function and its role in the hair growth cycle.
