Hair follicle nevus is a rare benign follicular hamartoma that is characterized histologically by the proliferation of vellus hair follicles with peri-follicular fibrous thickening. Clinically, hair follicle nevus is most commonly reported as an asymptomatic papule or nodule on the head and neck. Here, we describe an unusual presentation of hair follicle nevus presenting as an atrophic plaque on the cheek of a male infant.

Secondary hair follicles (SHFs) in cashmere goats produce high-value cashmere fibers, which cyclic regulation is critical for optimizing cashmere yield and quality. This study explores the phenotypic changes and differential protein expression profiles involved in the telogen-to-anagen transition of SHFs. Through histological observations, proteomic analyses, and immunohistochemical validation, we identified key molecular features and regulatory pathways underlying SHF cyclic renewal.

Ikaros, which is encoded by the Ikaros family zinc finger 1 (IKZF1) gene, is a zinc finger transcription factor. We have previously generated K5-Ikzf1-EGFP transgenic mice (Ikzf1 Tg) by introducing the IKZF1 isoform into epithelial cells expressing keratin 5, which develop patchy alopecia. However, there has been no detailed in vivo investigation of the function of IKZF1 in alopecia or of Ikaros expression in hair follicles of alopecia patients.

The presence of ectodermal adnexal structures in the uterine cervix, including sebaceous glands, hair follicles, and sweat glands, has been well documented in the literature. In theory, there exists the possibility of developing cutaneous-type lesions from the ectopic ectodermal structures in this location. Here we report the first case of cervical hair follicle-derived proliferations reminiscent of trichoadenoma, trichoepithelioma, and trichoblastoma (TA/TE/TB) in a 52-year-old woman who underwent a prophylactic hysterectomy due to a germline microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) gene mutation.

These cells mainly reside in a hypoxic microenvironment that favors the maintenance of stemness. Recently, many studies have elucidated the involvement of the Hippo pathway in the regulation of stem cell fate.

The detrimental effects of stress on hair growth are supported by empirical and experimental evidence, but the specific impact and mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here we utilized two intensive stress paradigms, repeated resiniferatoxin (RTX) injections and physical restraint in mice, to assess the effects of intensive stress on hair follicle growth after depilation. Initially, macroscopic pictures of the mice dorsal skin and HE staining showed a substantial inhibition of depilation-induced hair growth in both telogen and anagen hair follicle growth under intensive stress induced by RTX and restraint.
