research A clinical study of skin changes in geriatric population
Older adults commonly experience wrinkles, itchy skin, psoriasis, fungal infections, skin growths, grey hair, hair loss, and nail ridging, but no skin cancer was found in this group.
research Promising alternative clinical uses of prostaglandin F2α analogs: Beyond the eyelashes
Prostaglandin F2α analogs show promise for treating certain types of hair loss but need more research for other skin conditions.

Vitiligo is often found with other autoimmune diseases, which is important to know to help patients.
research Ectopic acanthosis nigricans at a post-syndactyly surgical site: An unusual reactive epidermal phenomenon
Ectopic acanthosis nigricans can occur at surgical sites due to skin graft mismatches.
research The Hair Pigmentation Unit and Hair Graying
Hair color is determined by melanins produced in hair cells.
research Exosomal miR ‐199a‐3p From Dermal Papilla Cells Regulates Hair Follicle Pigmentation by Targeting POU2F1 in Melanocytes
Exosomal miR-199a-3p from dermal papilla cells helps control hair color by affecting melanocytes.
research BH21 Segmented heterochromia with calibre change: an under-recognized sign of alopecia areata

research Disorders of pigmentation in infants and children
Vitiligo causes white skin patches, often starts before age 20, and is linked to other health issues.
research Congenital hypotrichosis due to short anagen
Some children are born with unusually short, fine hair because their hair growth phase is short, but this often gets better by itself during puberty.
research The melanocyte photosensory system in the human skin
Human skin's melanocytes respond to light by changing shape, producing pigments and hormones, which may affect sleep patterns.
research Histopathology of Hypotrichosis with Juvenile Macular Dystrophy
The research found that a specific gene mutation causes fewer hair follicles and disrupted hair growth cycles, leading to thin and short hair in people with Hypotrichosis with Juvenile Macular Dystrophy.
research Clinical and Molecular Diagnostic Criteria of Congenital Atrichia with Papular Lesions11This paper originally appeared in issue 117:1662–1665, 2001. Following publication the authors indicated that important corrections at page proof were not taken in. To ensure that the paper is published as intended, the editors have decided to reproduce the contents in full.
Congenital atrichia with papular lesions is often misdiagnosed, and new diagnostic criteria can improve accuracy.
