Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hair and nail disorders affect a great proportion of the general population worldwide, either occasionally or chronically, having a high impact on patients’ life quality. They may also result from cutaneous toxicity of anti-cancer treatments, further worsening patients’ wellbeing. Owing to the attention drawn to this topic, increasing research activities are being conducted on the management of cancer therapy side effects and parallels the one on pathophysiology, genetics, diagnosis, and treatment of hair and nail disorders, with focus on the personalized approach.
The Special Issue welcomes manuscripts addressing any aspects of hair and nail disorder research, from molecular studies to diagnostic tools (confocal microscopy, OCT, trichoscopy) and therapeutic strategies. We are pleased to invite you and your colleagues around the world to submit research articles, original articles, reviews and systematic reviews covering these topics.
