This review suggests that platelet-rich plasma may be a promising treatment for immune-mediated alopecias, including alopecia areata and primary cicatricial alopecias, but definitive recommendations are limited due to insufficient high-quality evidence.

This study found that 1% ketoconazole and 1% piroctone olamine shampoos increased hair shaft thickness and reduced hair shedding in men with telogen effluvium and androgenic alopecia associated with dandruff.

This study found that daily topical application of 500 microg/ml latanoprost led to moderate to marked hair regrowth in a macaque model of androgenetic alopecia.

In laboratory and artificial skin model experiments, this study found that plant-derived PDRN from Korean ginseng effectively promoted skin cell regeneration and strengthened the skin barrier, suggesting a sustainable alternative to animal-derived PDRN.

This study found that coloring white facial hair is an effective and feasible adjunct to intense pulsed light therapy for hair removal, with similar efficacy between using black eyeliner and black hair dye.

In this study, long-pulsed 755-nm alexandrite laser treatment for keratosis pilaris significantly improved skin roughness and redness, as well as follicular plug reduction, with good safety and patient satisfaction compared to a moisturizing lotion alone.

In this study, researchers found that overweight and obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome showed adverse changes in glucose metabolism over time, highlighting the importance of early intervention to prevent cardiometabolic diseases.

This study found that microbotox, especially when injected intradermally, effectively reduces enlarged facial pores with higher patient satisfaction and longer-lasting results compared to its topical application after microneedling.

Platelet-rich plasma shows promise in reducing pain for bladder pain syndrome.

This case series observed that the combination of platelet-rich plasma and fat grafting improved hair quality and density in patients with non-scarring alopecia, with effects visible by 12 weeks and sustained up to one year.

This case report highlights the challenge of distinguishing between neuropsychiatric lupus and rituximab-associated progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy in systemic lupus erythematosus patients, emphasizing the importance of early recognition and careful management.

In this case report, researchers described a 48-year-old man with systemic lupus erythematosus who developed a fungus ball (aspergilloma) within a tuberculosis cavity, a complication rarely reported in such patients, emphasizing the role of CT scans in diagnosis and the potential need for surgical intervention.

In this retrospective case series, therapeutic responses to immunomodulatory and incretin-based therapies for Dercum's disease showed considerable individual variation, suggesting these treatments might be exploratory options when surgery isn't feasible, though further controlled studies are needed for definitive conclusions.

This study investigated the photoprotective properties of Brazilian pepper tree extract against UV-induced damage in skin cells, reporting that it enhanced expression of genes relevant to skin health and showed superior activity compared to standard antioxidants.

This study found that a novel dietary supplement, AGA-P, when combined with minoxidil and finasteride, significantly improved the clinical efficacy of these drugs for treating mild-to-severe androgenic alopecia compared to drug treatment alone over six months.

This case report highlights the importance of trans-esophageal echocardiography in distinguishing Libman-Sacks endocarditis from infective endocarditis in systemic lupus erythematosus patients, guiding appropriate treatment for associated cerebrovascular disease.

This case report suggests that a proactive physical therapy model can be effective for improving physical function and meeting exercise guidelines in patients newly diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus.

In this case report, researchers describe a rare instance of bullous lupus presenting with severe esophageal involvement in a 42-year-old woman, highlighting the significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges encountered in such cases despite successful treatment with immunosuppressive therapy.

This review reports that androgenetic alopecia in young adult men is consistently linked to lower self-esteem, increased anxiety, and a higher risk of depression, suggesting significant psychosocial impacts beyond cosmetic concerns.

This retrospective study reported significant improvements in keloid scars among 60 patients treated with punch excision and superficial X-ray, with lower Vancouver Scar Scale and Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale scores a year post-treatment and no severe adverse reactions observed.

In this study, two female patients with severe, treatment-resistant alopecia areata showed significant hair regrowth after a single session of intradermal administration of adipose tissue–derived exosomes, without experiencing adverse events, suggesting a promising therapeutic strategy for refractory cases.

This study found that all four subtypes of psoriasis were associated with a higher prevalence of autoimmune diseases compared to individuals without psoriasis, with variation in the specific autoimmune disorders associated with each subtype.

This study suggests that platelet-rich plasma's high levels of growth factors may be limited in promoting bone regeneration due to the concurrent release of Dickkopf-1, which inhibits osteogenesis.

In this study, intradermal injections of extracellular vesicles over six months were reported to be safe and effective in improving hair growth among patients with pattern hair loss, with favorable response linked to specific patient factors and treatment volumes.

This study found that platelet rich plasma injections led to a 19.17% increase in hair density in males with androgenetic alopecia, although response did not correlate with age or duration of the condition.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma injections were more effective than hyaluronic acid in improving survival rates, reducing re-intervention, and enhancing patient satisfaction for mid-term knee osteoarthritis treatment.

This study observed that a topical liposome formulation of a 5‐α‐reductase inhibitor effectively reduced the size of treated sebaceous glands and induced apoptosis in a hamster model, suggesting potential benefits for acne treatment.

This study found that intradermal injections of platelet-rich plasma were equally safe and effective for treating androgenetic alopecia, with higher platelet numbers possibly enhancing hair density and follicle diameter.

In this study, TASP0382088 showed potent selective inhibition of the ALK5 receptor, significantly reducing Smad2 phosphorylation in mouse skin following topical application.
