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 abstract appears to consist entirely of repeated color specifications and logo guidelines, providing no research findings or new results.

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.

This proof-of-concept study reported that a new, ultra-fast, one-step immunohistochemistry method improved the interpretation of Mohs surgery slides, particularly for poorly differentiated tumors.

This review discusses the Vogt-Koyanagi syndrome, highlighting its symptoms and historical context, but reports no new clinical findings; the authors emphasize its recognition as a distinct clinical entity.

In this study, researchers identified a unique Arg30stop mutation in the vitamin D receptor gene that causes hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets in a young French-Canadian boy by truncating the receptor and causing hormone resistance.

In this case report, the use of oral Bhringraj Vati, coconut hair oil, and neutral shampoo treatment improved hair fall and overall hair condition in a 28-year-old female patient, showing safety and effectiveness against symptoms like scalp itching and hair thinning.

This case report describes a child with acrodermatitis enteropathica and normal zinc levels who developed Kaposi's varicelliform eruption, highlighting the role of novel SLC39A4 variants and the importance of early zinc supplementation and antiviral prophylaxis.

In this study, PEG and keratin scaffolds selectively influenced protein release rates based on charge and size, suggesting their potential for targeted delivery of protein therapeutics.

In this study, researchers identified two new keratin-associated proteins, hKAP1.6 and hKAP1.7, in human hair follicles, contributing to understanding hair fiber differentiation.

This study confirmed the presence of specific stem cell populations in SKH1 hairless mice skin, including CD34+/α6-integrin+ cells, which are important for investigating ultraviolet radiation-induced carcinogenesis.

In this study, researchers identified two distinct homozygous mutations in the KRT85 gene among consanguineous Pakistani families with pure hair and nail ectodermal dysplasia, highlighting variations in severity and potential impacts on the K85 protein function.

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 suggests that eruptive vellus hair cysts often have atypical pathological changes and likely originate from the infrainfundibulum and sebaceous duct based on keratin expression analysis.

This case report discusses a young woman who developed bilateral osteonecrosis of the femoral head after corticosteroid treatment for alopecia areata, underscoring the risk of this complication in patients undergoing such therapy.

This research review highlights the potential of exosome therapy to transform stroke treatment, reporting that in animal models, exosomes can reduce neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and cell death, while promoting brain repair and regeneration. However, more evidence is needed before clinical applications in humans are established.

This review article explores the potential systemic nature of alopecia areata, highlighting the association with ocular abnormalities and suggesting that shared pathogenic pathways may lead to eye symptoms occurring at younger ages than usual.

This case study reported that growth hormone therapy dramatically improved rickets symptoms and growth in three children with vitamin-D dependent rickets type 2 who had not responded to standard treatments.

In this study, the researchers found that alopecia in VDR null mice is likely due to issues with hair cycle initiation rather than defects in keratinocyte proliferation or differentiation.

This case report documents a female toddler with novel compound heterozygous mutations in the VDR gene causing hereditary 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-resistant rickets, expanding the known mutation spectrum for this disease.

This study found that the mutant hairless rhino bald protein in mice interacts with the vitamin D receptor but cannot repress its transactivation and shows abnormal cellular localization.

This study identified a novel mutation, R430Q in the KRT86 gene, in a Han family with monilethrix, which may contribute to the disease's pathogenic mechanism.

This article discusses the human KRT72 wild-type allele's role in hair formation and reports no new research findings.

This study identified two distinct VDR gene mutations among Lebanese families with hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets, noting varied treatment responses and promising outcomes despite severe phenotypes.

This study concluded that the hairless protein interacts with the vitamin D receptor to repress transcription crucial for hair cycling, employing multiple protein interfaces and modulating chromatin structure.

Graft-versus-host disease is a complication where donor immune cells attack the recipient's body, often affecting the skin, liver, and gastrointestinal tract.

This study suggests that the mechanical robustness of hair may be enhanced by the binding interactions of keratin-associated proteins, particularly KAP8.1, with intermediate filament proteins.

This study identified molecular elements controlling the expression and stabilization of THH protein in hair follicle cells, revealing key mechanisms that support hair shaft development in mice.

In this case study, a 14-year-old boy with a patch of hair loss was treated with Ayurvedic herbal and mineral therapies for 8 weeks, resulting in full hair regrowth on the affected area.
