This study found that a novel R343H mutation in the vitamin D receptor gene impairs its transcription activity, contributing to hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets and alopecia in the affected family.

This study highlights Ayurveda's holistic approach to managing hair loss, known as Khalitya, through lifestyle changes, purification therapies, and targeted medications, addressing the condition's association with modern sedentary lifestyles and poor dietary habits.

This study demonstrated that both HR isoforms are expressed in keratinocytes, but HRDelta1072-1126 lacks corepressor activity and may act as a coactivator by inhibiting HDAC recruitment to the VDR transcriptional complex.

In this study, researchers found that the KLHL24-ΔN28 protein variant disrupts hair follicle stem cells in a mouse model, leading to premature hair loss by degrading keratin 15.

This study found that Hairless (Hr) acts as a corepressor of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) in human keratinocytes, blocking the action of vitamin D on keratinocyte differentiation.

This study found that most pathogenic HR mutants associated with atrichia with papular lesions had abolished corepressor activity due to defective interactions with histone deacetylases.

This letter to the editor describes a case of acquired progressive kinking of the hair in a Korean female adolescent, but no new research findings are reported.

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

This study found that the hairless gene product (Hr) suppresses VDR-mediated gene activation by directly interacting with the vitamin D receptor, potentially affecting hair follicle function.

This article discusses skin lesions in chronic graft-versus-host disease and highlights the importance of coordinated care between haematologists and dermatologists for effective management; it presents no new clinical results.

This study found that the Bsk phenotype in mice did not result from a recombination event between specific keratin genes, leaving the gene linked to this mutation unidentified.

This study found that CMV infection in a mouse model of allogeneic transplantation was associated with increased allo-reactive T cell expansion and exacerbated graft-versus-host disease, highlighting the need for effective GvHD prophylaxis and treatment.

This study identified a novel I268T mutation in the vitamin D receptor that reduces its function, contributing to hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets, and found that a potent vitamin D analog could improve receptor function.

This review discusses various genetic and acquired conditions associated with poliosis circumscripta and reports no new clinical results.

In this case report, researchers document the first known instance of a dog developing both uveodermatological syndrome and alopecia areata concurrently, similar to occurrences in human patients, and provide a detailed overview of the clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up.

This study suggests that in a moderately susceptible mouse population, parental uveitis affects the skin development and alters gene expression profiles related to various pathways in offspring without increasing susceptibility to autoimmune uveitis.

This editorial reviews the roles and therapeutic potential of inward rectifying K+ channels in various physiological processes, highlighting their importance in health and disease but provides no new experimental results.

This study identified a cluster of genes on chromosome 17 related to hair keratin-associated proteins, including 37 genes forming seven multigene families, localized in the hair shaft's upper cortex.

In this case study, a girl with hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets had a novel mutation in the VDR gene that affected hair cycling without causing total alopecia, suggesting ligand-independent VDR function in hair cycling.

In this observational study, researchers found that 55% of participants with hair loss known as Khalitya had serum calcium deficiency, which aligns with both Ayurvedic and modern perspectives linking poor nutrition to hair disorder, highlighting the importance of dietary regulation and stress management.

This article discusses advancements in hair transplant procedures that allow for more follicular units to be transplanted per session but notes the lengthy procedure time required.

This case report describes a 27-year-old kidney transplant recipient with end stage renal failure who developed infections and adverse reactions, ultimately resolving with antiviral treatment targeting HHV6.

This study observed that human hair keratin showed distinct morphological features depending on the dissolution speed, which could have potential applications in clinical settings for developing self-tendons.

This article presents a case of Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome with limb hypertrophy, port-wine stains, angiokeratoma, and venous varicosities, but reports no new findings beyond this case description.

This case report observed significant improvement in a 23-year-old male with Khalitya/Androgenetic alopecia after undergoing Ayurvedic management.

This study found that variations in Kv1 channel gene expression in the electric organ of Sternopygus correlate with sex differences and individual variations in their electric communication signals.

This case report highlights two instances of suspected human herpesvirus 6 reactivation in patients with existing psychiatric disorders, underscoring the need for further research into the relationship between viral reactivation and psychiatric conditions.

This study identified a novel V26M mutation in the vitamin D receptor as the cause of hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets in a patient, characterized by severe rickets and an unusual pattern of alopecia.
