This study examined treatments for emesis in young Alexander disease patients, finding that 95% responded positively to valproic acid, which was more effective than anti-reflux medications or cyproheptadine, though some adverse effects require monitoring.

A new mutation, Glu402Lys, in hair keratin is linked to variable symptoms of monilethrix.

This study demonstrates that an iPSC-derived skin organoid model effectively supports Merkel cell polyomavirus infection, persistence, and immune evasion, providing a valuable platform for studying viral tumorigenesis and testing treatment strategies.

This case report describes a Japanese woman diagnosed with both Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease and sarcoidosis, suggesting a potential shared pathophysiology between the two conditions.

This study found that hippocampus sparing whole brain radiation therapy (HS-WBRT) using multi-field intensity modulated radiation therapy prevents alopecia without compromising cognitive function compared to traditional whole brain radiation therapy.

This case report highlights the successful treatment of Kaposi varicelliform eruption in a pemphigus vulgaris patient using intravenous acyclovir, alongside antibiotics, resulting in healing of skin lesions with scarring.

This veterinary case study of a dog with myxedema coma found clinical and pathologic changes including severe thyroid atrophy and marked atherosclerosis consistent with the diagnosis.

This report presents a 12-year-old male with symptoms indicative of Marie-Unna type hereditary hypotrichosis, characterized by a specific pattern of hair loss evolving with age.

This case report observed that treatment with human placental mesenchymal stromal cell-derived exosome-enriched extracellular vesicles may improve symptoms of chronic cutaneous graft-versus-host disease, including hyperpigmentation and skin ulcers, in a patient resistant to conventional therapies.

This case report describes the presentation of a 32-year-old Iranian immunocompetent female diagnosed with Merkel Cell Carcinoma, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and management to mitigate complications.

In a case report, this study identified a new genetic variant in a six-year-old girl from Saudi Arabia with hypotrichosis and juvenile macular dystrophy, expanding the understanding of the genetic spectrum of this rare condition in the region.

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 found that selecting human vaginal mucosa stem cells by adhesion to type Ⅳ collagen for 20 minutes and culturing them with feeder layer and epidermal total culture media was most effective in maintaining their characteristics.

This case report describes a 47-year-old male with rare total melanonychia linked to vitamin B12 deficiency, whose nail discoloration and constitutional symptoms improved following vitamin B12 supplementation.

This case report describes the youngest known patient with viral-associated trichodysplasia of immunosuppression, where systemic valganciclovir therapy improved facial papule eruptions following cardiac transplantation.

This study found that lymphatic vessels promote hair follicle growth in mice and may represent new therapeutic targets for hair loss conditions.

In this study, oral and topical tranexamic acid significantly improved melasma symptoms in 28 female patients, with all showing over 25% improvement and 50% achieving good improvement, while 92.86% experienced no side effects, suggesting it is an effective and safe treatment.

This study found that Epstein-Barr virus infection upregulated a truncated variant of human basic hair keratin 1 (hHb1-ΔN) in gastric carcinoma cell lines, suggesting a possible link to carcinoma differentiation.

This study explored the use of manganese-doped calcium silicate nanowire-incorporated alginate hydrogels (MCSA hydrogels) for treating melanoma and promoting wound healing, finding that these hydrogels effectively ablate melanoma under near-infrared irradiation and enhance vascular endothelial cell activity for tissue regeneration.

This study found that nearly 40% of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma patients who received Brentuximab Vedotin with AVD chemotherapy experienced persistent alopecia more than two years after treatment, leading to significant psychosocial consequences such as reduced self-confidence and emotional distress.

This review highlights that while sonidegib and vismodegib offer promising treatment options for advanced basal cell carcinoma, their use is often limited by treatment-emergent adverse events, which can be managed through protocol modifications and supportive interventions.

This study presents a case of a 67-year-old immunocompromised woman with ulcerated genital and perianal lesions diagnosed as herpesvirus-induced dermatovirosis, highlighting the importance of considering viral infections in differential diagnoses and the potential for resistance to typical antiviral treatments.

This study found that Polyomavirus A2 infection in mice led to the development of pilomatricomas in hair follicles, with the virus replicating initially in the skin and later infecting matrix cells.

A 308 nm excimer laser successfully treated a boy with a rare skin condition after about a year of weekly sessions.

This review highlights how intravital microscopy has advanced understanding of tissue homeostasis and cancer progression, focusing on how tumor cells exploit physiological processes for growth; it reports no new experimental findings.

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 study observed dynamic behaviors such as cluster formation, migration, and active proliferation of transplanted bone marrow cells in a mouse model, providing insight into cellular-level changes post-transplantation.

In this report, the potential connection between Merkel cell carcinoma and Curvularia lunata infection in an elderly patient is discussed, highlighting the need for precise diagnostic methods and suggesting that surgery combined with the antifungal voriconazole may be a viable treatment option.

This study suggests that low-cost videomicroscopes may inaccurately assess certain features in hair and scalp disorders compared to standard videodermatoscopy, limiting their reliability for trichoscopy.
