research Observation of cultured amelanotic melanocytes from hair follicles by atomic force microscopy
Amelanotic melanocytes from hair follicles are immature and likely don't transfer melanosomes to keratinocytes.
research Evidence for two independent functional variants for androgenetic alopecia around the androgen receptor gene
Two gene areas linked to male pattern baldness found, more research needed.
research In This Issue
Genetically repaired stem cells may treat certain genetic diseases, Th17 cells are key in fighting systemic fungal infections, hair loss in AGA is due to progenitor cell loss, and α-synuclein transfer might contribute to Parkinson's disease progression.

A gene mutation in mice causes skin defects and early death.
research Null Mutation of 5α-Reductase Type I Gene Alters Ethanol Consumption Patterns in a Sex-Dependent Manner
research The Shaven (Sha) Mutation, Chromosome 15
The Shaven mutation in mice affects hair growth and causes a greasy coat due to abnormal lipid content.
research Microenvironmental reprogramming of thymic epithelial cells to skin multipotent stem cells
Scientists turned rat thymus cells into stem cells that can help repair skin and hair.
research Transient Efficacy of Tofacitinib in Alopecia Areata Universalis
Tofacitinib temporarily regrew hair in a man with alopecia, but its effects didn't last.
research Familial Androgenetic Alopecia in Siblings with Normal Endocrinological Status
Two young siblings experienced hair loss without hormone issues or other skin problems.
research Editors' Picks
New findings suggest targeting IL-23 could treat psoriasis, skin cells can adapt to new roles, direct conversion of skin cells to blood cells may aid cell therapy, removing certain tumor cells could boost cancer immunotherapy, and melanoma may have many tumorigenic cells, not just cancer stem cells.
research A transcriptomic map of murine and human alopecia areata
Alopecia areata involves specific immune cells, offering potential treatment targets.
research Short anagen hair syndrome is caused by mutations in the WNT10A gene and has a genetic overlap with male pattern hair loss
Mutations in the WNT10A gene cause Short Anagen Hair syndrome and increase the risk of male pattern hair loss.
research The evaluation of IL-4 VNTR intron 3 and TNF-α (rs1799964) gene polymorphisms in Egyptian patients with alopecia areata: a case–control study
These gene variations are not linked to alopecia areata in Egyptians.
research Identification of compound heterozygous mutations in AP1B1 leading to the newly described recessive keratitis–ichthyosis–deafness (KIDAR) syndrome
Mutations in the AP1B1 gene cause a new syndrome with skin, hearing, and developmental issues.

Researchers found a new mutation in the LIPH gene of a woman with a rare hair condition.
research Novel Mutation in Sjögren-Larsson Syndrome Is Associated With Divergent Neurologic Phenotypes
The same genetic mutation in Sjögren-Larsson syndrome can lead to different levels of severity, suggesting other factors influence the symptoms.
research Gain‐of‐function variants in the ODC1 gene cause a syndromic neurodevelopmental disorder associated with macrocephaly, alopecia, dysmorphic features, and neuroimaging abnormalities
ODC1 gene mutations cause a neurodevelopmental disorder with large head size, hair loss, and facial abnormalities.
