This case report describes a woman who developed extensive nonscarring inflammatory hair loss after two years of gefitinib treatment, highlighting potential cutaneous side effects associated with epidermal growth factor receptor blockers.

In this mouse study, the researchers found that the monoclonal antibody ME1 causes hair follicle inflammation by up-regulating TNFα, which can be reduced by TNFα and interleukin-1 inhibitors.

This paper discusses the role of epidermal growth factor receptor blockade in altering skin and hair growth, highlighting hair growth stimulation as a potential side effect of cancer therapy; it reports no new experimental results.

This review observes that trichomegaly, a newly described side effect of EGFR inhibitors causing excessive eyelash and scalp hair growth, persists in some patients whose tumors respond positively to the therapy.

This study found that CI-1033 caused skin lesions in rats that resemble effects seen in humans receiving EGF receptor inhibitors, suggesting this animal model can help explore the mechanisms behind this cutaneous toxicity.

This review discusses the complex relationship between anabolic substances and colorectal cancer risk, reporting ambiguous findings on their carcinogenic properties, potential synergy with risk factors, and protective roles.

This case report describes the first known instance of hair and eyebrow hyperpigmentation in a patient after seven months of gefitinib treatment for non-small cell lung cancer.

This study elucidates a mechanism for acne-like skin toxicity caused by EGFR/MEK inhibitors, involving an interaction with skin bacteria to trigger inflammation, which supports existing antibiotic treatment practices.

This report describes a rare case of eyelash overgrowth and eyelid irritation in a woman treated with erlotinib for lung adenocarcinoma, highlighting a potential side effect of the drug.

This study found that co-administering sasam-Kyeongokgo with gefitinib enhanced gefitinib's anti-tumor activity and exhibited favorable anti-cachexia effects in mice with non-small-cell lung cancer.

This study reports that blocking the epidermal growth factor receptor in cancer treatments can lead to changes in hair growth and create a "wavy" hair phenotype in some patients.

This study observed that mice with a Cx43 mutation exhibited slower and asynchronous hair regrowth with severe cuticle weathering, mimicking aspects of hair phenotype in some ODDD patients.

This abstract recounts the unusual encounter between an English engineer and Maung Po Set, a Burmese man with a rare pattern of hair growth, on a steamer in 1886, illustrating a cultural exchange made possible by Maung Po Set's rapid acquisition of English.

In this study, prenatal ultrasonography was found to be a valuable tool for screening ectodermal dysplasia during pregnancy, and a new EDA gene variant associated with X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia was identified, aiding in more accurate diagnoses and reproductive decision-making.

This case study reports a new LAMB3 mutation linked to junctional epidermolysis bullosa with severe urinary tract stenosis, outlining treatment challenges and expanding knowledge of EB-related urological complications.

This study provides definitive evidence that a homozygous mutation in the DSC3 gene causes skin fragility and hypotrichosis in humans.

In this study, researchers found that a PER3 gene SNP may be pathogenic for a new subtype of dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria, especially when combined with a SASH1 mutation.

This study identified a large deletion in the desmoglein 4 gene as the genetic basis of the Iffa Credo "hairless" rat's skin phenotype, linking it to lanceolate hair mutations.

This study found that certain FZD3 gene variants were significantly associated with wool traits in Chinese Merino sheep, suggesting potential as genetic markers for breeding.

This case report identifies a novel nonsense mutation in the CDH3 gene associated with hypotrichosis and juvenile macular dystrophy.

This study suggests that the DNMT3B -579 G>T polymorphism may be a genetic risk factor for colorectal cancer in the Azerbaijani population.

This study found that overexpressing Dsg3 in the suprabasal epidermis of transgenic mice resulted in flaking skin and abnormal hair growth, supporting Dsg3's role in regulating epidermal differentiation.

This study found that mutant Cx43 impairs fibroblast function during wound healing and reduces hair follicle cell proliferation, likely contributing to hair growth defects in ODDD patients.

A bald man grew hair on his head after taking a drug called diazoxide, but lost it again when he stopped the medication.

This study identified a missense mutation in the rat Desmoglein 4 gene, causing abnormal hair shaft development in lanceolate hair mutant rats by disrupting a critical calcium binding site.

Mouse Scube3 affects teeth, tongue, vibrissae, and eye development, but not facial structure or limb growth.

This study reports that a homozygous A1103G mutation in DSG 4 is responsible for localized autosomal recessive hypotrichosis in a 2-year-old Chinese girl, resulting in reduced DSG 4 expression and hair defects.
