Background/objectives: Short anagen syndrome is a hair cycle disorder usually diagnosed in early childhood and characterized by short hair length due to short duration of the anagen phase. The objective was to review the presentation and demographic characteristics of short anagen syndrome and compare them with the most common differential diagnosis, loose anagen syndrome.
Methods: A retrospective review of eight children with short anagen syndrome was performed at the University of Miami Outpatient Dermatology Clinic.
Results: The diagnosis of short anagen syndrome was confirmed according to clinical findings and characteristic short telogen hairs with pointed tips on the hair pull test.
Conclusion: This is the largest reported clinical series of short anagen syndrome thus far in the literature.

A 10-year-old healthy, Caucasian girl presented in May 2021 with short and thin scalp hair since birth (Figures 1A-C). She had achieved all of her developmental milestones, and her parents denied any similar family history. She had only two hair cuts in the past, which were performed to trim long hair over the midscalp to have a uniform length.

Article Synopsis
- Noonan syndrome (NS) and a related condition called Noonan-like syndrome with loose anagen hair (NS/LAH) are caused by changes in certain genes that affect how the body grows and develops.
- A study looked at 25 patients with these syndromes, finding that they often have short stature and unique facial features, along with other health issues like heart defects and rare conditions.
- The research also discovered that a small number of patients had an autoimmune disease called systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), which might affect their quality of life, and they noted a rare urinary condition as well.

We report the generation and characterization of the K5: CAT bigenic mouse in which the constitutively activated form of β-catenin (ΔN89 β-catenin) is conditionally expressed in cytokeratin-5 (K5) positive epidermal keratinocytes. Following short-term doxycycline intake during the telogen resting phase, the adult K5: CAT bigenic develops enlarged pilosebaceous units that expand deep into the dermis, an expansion usually observed during the anagen growth phase. Prolonged doxycycline treatment results in significant thickening and folding of the K5: CAT epidermis.

Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a highly prevalent condition in contemporary society. The conventional treatment of minoxidil tincture is hindered by issues such as skin irritation caused by ethanol, non-specific accumulation in hair follicles, and short retention due to its liquid form. Herein, we have developed a novel minoxidil-incorporated engineered exosomes biopotentiated hydrogel (Gel@MNs) that has the capability to modulate the perifollicular microenvironment for the treatment of AGA.
