This review discusses the potential of nanocarriers to enhance transdermal drug delivery and the combination of these carriers with physical methods, but it reports no new experimental results.

In this study, researchers identified elongated corkscrew hairs as a new trichoscopic pattern in immunosuppressed adults with chronic endothrix tinea capitis, which may help in earlier diagnosis and targeted mycological investigation.

This study observed that overexpressing TSPO in the hippocampal dentate gyrus of mice led to significant anxiolytic and antidepressant-like effects, potentially mediated by increased allopregnanolone synthesis.

In this animal study, the methanolic extract of Crataeva nurvala leaves was found to possess sedative and anxiolytic properties, potentially linked to GABAergic activity and certain neuroactive compounds.

This study found that using spanlastics, a nano, surfactant-based drug delivery system, improved the bioavailability, drug release characteristics, and pharmacokinetic behavior of famotidine, a poorly soluble drug, by enhancing its dissolution and membrane permeation.

This study suggests that a supercritical CO2 extract from wild-strawberry-processing waste may be an innovative and sustainable ingredient for cosmetic applications, particularly in treating androgenic-related skin conditions.

This study identified six belief themes that may contribute to hairpulling behavior in women with trichotillomania, suggesting an important role for cognitions in this disorder's phenomenology.

This study identified an optimal sulfate-free and silicone-free conditioning shampoo formulation using 1% hyaluronic acid at 800 kDa, 10% acidic sophorolipid, and 1% sodium chloride, which maintains essential conditioning and cleansing properties without compromising on performance.

The study found that over-expressing ornithine decarboxylase in the outer root sheath of the hair follicle in mice increases UVB-induced tumor growth and invasive squamous cell carcinoma compared to inter-follicular epidermal keratinocytes.

This study identified a proliferative intermediate transcriptional state associated with the transition from secondary hair germ cells to lower hair follicle-associated cells during early hair follicle regeneration in mice.

This study describes a 62-year-old male with trichodaganomania, an urge to bite his mustache hair, who was treated with counseling and placebo medication, highlighting the need for a comprehensive treatment approach including potential psychological and psychiatric interventions if symptoms recur.

This study found that curcumin nanocrystals efficiently penetrated hair follicles down to the lower infundibulum in an ex-vivo pig ear model, regardless of the gel vehicle used, though passive dermal penetration varied with the vehicle’s skin hydrating properties.

This case report describes a 23-year-old Asian woman with fluoxetine non-responsive trichotillomania who showed significant improvement with bupropion and cognitive behavior therapy, though confirmation in larger trials is needed.

This research found that escin, when applied topically, enhances blood flow in human skin and promotes changes in endothelial cell signaling pathways, suggesting potential benefits for improving cutaneous microcirculation.

This review summarizes the research on bioactive materials that modulate the skin microenvironment to promote wound healing and highlights the essential role of the fascial layer, without presenting new experimental results.

This study found that actomyosin contractility in suprabasal keratinocytes influences the proliferation and differentiation of epidermal stem/progenitor cells by acting as a niche element in the skin.

This case report describes a rare instance of a patient with trichotillomania also developing a gastric trichobezoar, leading to Rapunzel syndrome.

This study found that the tensile strength of curly hair is influenced by two main components, with springiness (toe region) contributing significantly, unlike in noncurly hair where it is negligible.

This article reviews adolescent sexual behavior and emphasizes the importance of hormonal contraception for sexually active teenagers, suggesting that health care providers play a crucial role in addressing their reproductive needs.

This review explores the potential of multifunctional bioscaffolds in skin tissue engineering, highlighting their successful biological performance in vitro and in vivo animal models, while also identifying the demand for technological advancements to improve wound healing applications in clinical settings.

This study found that neonatal administration of finasteride affected adult learning and memory in rats, enhancing object recognition but impairing aversive learning, with no effect on anxiety-like behavior.

This review discusses the roles of peripheral nerves in stem cell and immune responses within the skin and hematopoietic system, emphasizing their potential in developing new therapies; it reports no new experimental results.

In this study, researchers observed that chronic stress affected wild-derived house mice differently by sex, with females showing less weight gain and distinct behavioral changes, while males exhibited higher hair corticosterone levels, suggesting divergent coping strategies and implications for sex-specific stress assessment protocols.

This study found that in domestic cats, black hair contained significantly higher cortisol concentrations than white hair, whereas ginger hair showed no significant difference compared to white hair. Additionally, a positive correlation was reported between hair cortisol levels and behavioral issues mentioned by cat owners.

TICE salvage chemotherapy is effective for treating germ-cell tumors with poor prognosis.

This review highlights effective non-invasive strategies such as physiotherapy, pharmacological treatments, and Botulinum toxin injections for managing head and neck neuralgias, emphasizing the importance of tailoring treatment to individual needs based on the specific type of neuralgia.

Topical minoxidil 1% and 2% are twice as effective as placebo for female pattern hair loss.

This study observed that while PrEP was effective among transgender women if taken, adherence was low, especially among those at higher risk.

Epirubicin is as effective as doxorubicin for cancer treatment with less heart damage, but doesn't work on doxorubicin-resistant cancers.

This review discusses psychological treatments for alopecia, finding limited but positive effects on mental health, quality of life, and possibly hair growth; however, more research is needed to establish intervention efficacy.
