This study reported that frontal fibrosing alopecia predominantly affects postmenopausal women and identified potential risk factors like frequent β-blocker use and sunscreen application, indicating the need for further research.

D-chiral biomaterial scaffolds enhance tissue and hair regeneration by activating the body's immune system.

This study found that all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) inhibits proliferation and promotes apoptosis in secondary hair follicle-derived dermal papilla cells from cashmere goats, likely via the TGF-β2/Smad2/3 signaling pathway.

This study examined proteomic changes in Inner Mongolia cashmere goat skin, finding 631 proteins differentially regulated during hair growth stages; key keratin proteins, crucial for hair follicle development, were localized in secondary hair follicles.

This review by two dermatologists suggests that hair on the human scalp may protect against skin cancer not just physically, but by enabling IL-17 immune surveillance, with hair loss potentially leading to increased tumor growth due to reduced immunosurveillance.

This narrative review reports that well-selected plant extracts and their active compounds may improve hair health by promoting hair growth and preventing hair loss, potentially aiding in developing targeted therapies for alopecia.

This study reviews progress in understanding how redesigned lipid metabolism supports energy production and treatment resistance in advanced carcinomas, highlighting a hypothesis supported by preclinical and clinical evidence and suggesting potential clinical targeting of resistance mechanisms.

This review discusses psychological impacts associated with facial acne, noting that high levels of anxiety and depression among these patients are not linked to oxidative stress, and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that dysregulation of systemic Th1, Th2, and Th17 cytokines is associated with alopecia areata, with specific cytokines linked to disease activity and treatment response.

MicroRNA-21 could help diagnose and treat skin fibrosis.

This review discusses the relationship between polycystic ovary syndrome and inflammation, highlighting various inflammatory markers, but reports no new clinical results.

This study identified several compounds from traditional Chinese medicines that may inhibit prostaglandin D2 synthase, potentially providing promising candidates for treating androgenic alopecia with minimal adverse skin reactions.

This study found that low doses of ivermectin cream enhanced wound healing and reduced scarring by modulating inflammation and growth factor levels, suggesting potential topical use for wound treatment.

This review discusses recent advancements in therapies for ichthyosis, highlighting promising prospects in protein replacement and gene therapy, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that Grateloupia elliptica extract may help treat hair loss by promoting dermal papilla cell proliferation, inhibiting 5α-reductase, and reducing inflammation in various cell types.

This study found that specific gene upregulations and mutations in hidradenitis suppurativa skin support the role of inflammation, altered epithelial differentiation, and metabolism dysregulation in the disease's pathogenesis.

This study found that the phytosterols β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, and campesterol have low-to-negligible inhibitory activity against steroidal 5α-reductase type 2 compared to the synthetic inhibitor dutasteride, with β-sitosterol showing the highest activity among the tested phytosterols.

This study found that targeting IL-6, IL-1, and CCR6 signaling pathways may effectively reduce irradiation-induced alopecia and dermatitis in radiotherapy patients.

This study found that coffee berry extract demonstrated anti-aging properties in skin and hair cells, showing significant anti-collagenase activity and stimulating hair-related gene expression, suggesting its potential for use in cosmeceuticals.

This study found that Acanthus ebracteatus extract and verbascoside induced dermal papilla cell proliferation and reduced inflammatory cytokine release in vitro, suggesting potential for anti-hair loss applications.

This study found that 3D-cultured dermal papilla cells more accurately mimic in vivo conditions compared to 2D cultures, enhancing our understanding of molecular mechanisms in androgen-induced alopecia.

This review discusses the complex role of immune disturbances and the JAK-STAT pathway in alopecia areata, noting the success of JAK inhibitors in treatment, while highlighting ongoing debates and challenges in targeting other pathways like IL-17 and TNF-α.

T cells affect skin cell genes in inflammatory diseases, and therapy can normalize these changes.

In this study, Artemisia sieversiana extract was found to safely promote hair follicle dermal papilla cell growth and inhibit hair loss through anti-androgen, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects at a cellular level.

This study suggests that the synthetic peptide SPIKENET (SPK) may protect against long-term skin alterations in mice following coronavirus infection, offering potential therapeutic intervention for similar effects in humans post-COVID-19.

This study found that topical rebamipide, originally a gastric ulcer medication, can activate hair follicle stem cells and promote hair regeneration by modulating dermal adipocyte metabolism, with potential targeting of the prostaglandin E receptor EP4.

This study found that platelet dry powder can be mass-produced from pig blood by adding calcium chloride, resulting in a stable material with high growth factor concentrations, which could enhance supply for industrial product development.

In this study, researchers identified that keloid fibroblasts respond to neurotransmitters from catecholaminergic nerves by producing bone matrix proteins, mediated by β1-adrenergic receptor activation, leading to fibro-osseous reprogramming; blocking this signaling in a rodent model prevented the development of keloid-like pathology.

This review highlights that collagen XVIIα1's role in maintaining dermal-epidermal junction integrity and hair follicle stem cell maintenance is compromised with age due to reduced levels and increased processing, potentially affecting skin and hair aging.

This study explores the growing use of fungal-based ingredients in haircare products, emphasizing their eco-friendly production and benefits for scalp health, including moisturizing, hair strengthening, and addressing dandruff and fungal infections.
