This essay discusses the role of the nail in mammalian digit tip regeneration and explores whether nail stem cells are solely responsible for this regenerative ability, with no new results presented.

In this study, researchers found that massively parallel sequencing of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) can improve information recovery from forensic samples, with successful full region amplification possible from as few as 2,000 mtDNA copies, albeit with variability in heteroplasmy among hair samples from the same donor.

This study found that applying 2% topical minoxidil resulted in a greater nail growth rate compared to 5% minoxidil and placebo over eight weeks, with no observed side effects, suggesting 2% is an effective concentration for accelerating nail growth.
