This research reports that KCV and its palmitoylated derivatives show strong effectiveness in strengthening hair proteins, indicating their potential for use in advanced hair care products.

This study found that complex therapy including biomimetic peptides was effective in treating alopecia compared to a similar treatment without the peptides.

This study found that human hair keratin scaffold material implanted in damaged rabbit muscle tissue degrades via the ubiquitin system and is further processed by macrophagocytes and lysosomes.

This article describes the skin changes seen in acute and chronic graft-vs-host reactions after bone marrow transplantation, highlighting the potential for early recognition due to the visibility of these changes, but reports no new clinical results.

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 source provides no abstract, offering no results or conclusions on a case involving a 14-year-old boy with abrupt-onset hair changes presented in a photo quiz format in Pediatric Dermatology.

A mutation in the KRT25 gene causes a rare hair disorder with thin, woolly hair.

In this study, AgK114 was found to be transiently induced in hamster epidermal keratinocytes following skin damage, suggesting its role in the recovery process after injury.

In this study, researchers observed that knocking out KCNQ3 in mice increased firing frequencies in response to stimuli, particularly at slow mechanical indentation velocities, indicating a role in mechanosensory neuron sensitivity.

Vitamin D receptor mutations can cause alopecia by affecting hair growth genes.

In this study, vitiligo and alopecia areata were more common among patients with chronic graft-vs-host disease than previously reported, linked to higher NIH skin scores and greater immunosuppressive treatment.

This study found that taking oral FKH supplements for 90 days improved facial skin, hair, and nail appearance, and highlighted the role of free L-amino acids as potentially beneficial beyond their protein-building functions.

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.

This case report documents acquired progressive kinking of the hair in a prepubertal boy but does not provide new clinical results.

This study identified a mutation in the KRTHB6 gene in two monilethrix families of Indian origin, linking specific genetic variations to different severities of hair defects within the families.

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 case report details a severe instance of VDR-II where intravenous calcium infusions, administered nightly, successfully improved clinical, radiological, and biochemical signs of rickets without alopecia despite ineffective calcitriol therapy.

A woman developed rare, unexplained curly hair on her scalp and eyelashes.

This review discusses the roles of human tissue kallikreins in skin physiology and pathology and reports no new findings, emphasizing their potential involvement in various skin functions and conditions.

In this case study, a rare viral infection called trichodysplasia spinulosa was diagnosed in a 10-year-old girl post-kidney transplant; she was treated successfully with reduced immunosuppression alongside leflunomide and valganciclovir, though the efficacy of valganciclovir remains uncertain.

This study found that in Vdr-knockout mice, hair follicles fail to complete the catagen stage, leading to persistent epithelial strands and subsequent hair loss.

In human hair follicle keratinocytes, this study found that treatment with the pharmacological inhibitor QLT0267 led to a strong inhibition of proliferation and migration and induced nearly 100% apoptosis.

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

In this study, researchers evaluated hair loss in 40 participants and identified key Ayurvedic and biochemical factors, finding frequent dietary incompatibilities and a high prevalence of low serum calcium, supporting an integrated approach emphasizing diet and scalp health.

TRIV-509 quickly improves skin barrier and cell health in atopic dermatitis.

This study identified that dominant mutations in the KLHL24 gene cause epidermolysis bullosa through dysregulated autoubiquitination, leading to excessive degradation of keratin 14.

This case report describes a 26-year-old woman with an uncommon presentation of varicella zoster virus interstitial keratitis misdiagnosed as corneal intraepithelial neoplasia; the correct identification using diagnostic tools such as AS-OCT prevented unnecessary surgical interventions and allowed for effective antiviral treatment.

This study reports the cloning and sequencing of two type II hair-specific keratin genes, ghHb1 and ghHb6, located on chromosome 12q13, which are expressed during hair growth.

This study found that the immune-competent B6. Cg‐Tyr c−2J Hr hr /J congenic mouse line had a more pronounced delayed sunburn response and different proliferative skin reactions to UV exposure compared to SKH 1 mice.
