This case report describes a 5-year-old girl who developed kerion celsi from an untreated scalp infection, likely contracted from a guinea pig, leading to significant hair loss and the need for a wig.

This study found that minoxidil effectively reduced blood pressure in patients with severe hypertension and renal failure resistant to conventional drugs, though side effects like hirsutism and edema were common.

In this study, researchers found that dissolving microneedles made with hyaluronic acid enhanced the effectiveness of minoxidil in reducing hair loss and promoting hair growth in alopecia-affected mice more effectively than topical minoxidil alone, while using only 10% of the drug amount.

This review evaluated the evidence on skin disorders linked to levodopa treatment for Parkinson's disease, suggesting a possible association with melanoma, though evidence remains inconclusive and further studies are needed.

Junctional proteins stabilize the inner root sheath and connect the companion layer in human hair.

This study found that Gsdma3 mutations in mice led to thicker skin and longer hair infundibula, possibly by negatively regulating β-catenin expression in the epidermis.

This study observed that pelage development in male blue foxes born in early June was more synchronized than those born in early May, with differences likely influenced by melatonin levels.

This study reported that a newly developed bioadhesive and injectable hydrogel dressing, incorporating hyaluronate-gelatin and the antibiotic doxycycline, accelerated burn wound healing and skin regeneration in rats, highlighting its potential for clinical applications in burn injury therapy.

This study found that all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) inhibits mink hair follicle growth by reducing dermal papilla cell proliferation and inducing apoptosis, likely through the TGF-β2/Smad2/3 pathway.

This review discusses the use of herbal medicinal products for treating chronic skin diseases like vitiligo and psoriasis and reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize the need for standardized extracts and further research.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata and androgenetic alopecia showed increased c-kit expression and decreased Ki-67 expression in hair follicle cells compared to controls, suggesting a possible feedback mechanism involving stem cell factor signaling.

This study found that splenic melanosis in C57BL/6 mice is associated with synchronized skin melanization during hair cycles, but decreases with age.

In this study, autophagy was commonly observed during keratinization in neonate rat hair follicles, suggesting lysosomal proteases and cytoplasmic enzymes may coordinate in hair follicle cell differentiation.

This study found that DPG promoted wound healing in rat skin, with increased collagen I density, particularly evident within the first 14 days after injury.

This case report suggests that spironolactone may induce prostate cancer proliferation in patients on abiraterone acetate, advising against its use for managing treatment-associated side effects in these individuals.

This study reports a good correlation between the curvature of human eyelashes and the displacement of the neutral axis, influenced by the non-uniform thickness of the outer cuticle layer.

This review suggests that bendamustine, alone or in combination, shows effectiveness in treating indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia, with recent studies highlighting its benefits especially in combination therapies, while balancing efficacy with a favorable toxicity profile.

This study found that COX-2 expression in normal rat skin is linked to the hair cycle, with varying levels observed in different skin structures during anagen, catagen, and telogen phases.

In this study, oral contraceptives containing desogestrel or cyproteron acetate effectively treated hyperandrogenism in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, while ovarian electrocautery is recommended for those with concurrent infertility.

This meta-analysis reported that dienogest and combined oral contraceptives had comparable efficacy and tolerability for endometriosis treatment, with therapeutic choice suggested to be based on patient preference and clinical history.

In this study, a subcutaneous injection of recombinant RSPO1 was found to activate hair follicle stem cells and enhance hair regeneration in mice by stimulating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, suggesting its potential as a treatment for hair loss.

This report describes the first diagnosed case of dermatophytosis caused by Microsporum canis in a young maned wolf, emphasizing the importance of monitoring emerging diseases in this vulnerable species.

This case study reports that ciclosporin effectively managed symptoms in a patient with steroid-dependent sudden sensorineural hearing loss, allowing discontinuation of corticosteroids and confirming remission through audiometry.

This study found that the PVP protocol, combining Peptichemio, vincristine, and 6-methylprednisolone, resulted in remission for diffuse non-Hodgkin's lymphomas with moderate side effects.

Certain treatments can speed up local hair growth in mice but don't change the overall hair growth pattern.

This study found that women with PCOS and amenorrhea have a higher prevalence of insulin resistance, prediabetes, and dyslipidemia compared to those with oligomenorrhea or eumenorrhea, suggesting that menstrual dysfunction severity could be an indicator of heightened cardiometabolic risk in these women.

This study reported that prompt hair removal effectively treated hair tourniquet syndrome in infants, with all patients healing without complications.

In this study, researchers found that cyclophosphamide treatment unexpectedly reduced splenic melanin deposition in a murine model, whereas this effect was down-regulated more by the normal and dystrophic catagen phase of the hair cycle.

This study found that the distribution of carbohydrates and proteins in porcine hair follicles and sebaceous glands showed minor differences compared to humans.

Mink use L-methionine and L-cystine slightly better than natural amino acids for hair growth, but D-methionine is not effective.
