In this study, researchers developed a method called the Stiffness-Angle Law and found that hair treated with caffeine-infused shampoo showed a 13.2% increase in stiffness, as measured by their novel evaluation technique.

This review in SEDA Volume 40 summarizes new adverse reaction data for diuretics published in 2017, highlighting specific risks such as fractures with loop diuretics and hyperkalemia with spironolactone.

In this study, the researchers reported that a newly developed PYGL inhibitor, HTPI, enhanced hair growth in an ex-vivo culture by reducing oxidative damage in hDPCs and inhibiting glycogen degradation in hORSCs, showing potential as a treatment for hair loss comparable to minoxidil.

This study found that electrical epilation in organ-cultured human scalp skin perturbs hair follicles by causing inflammation, impairing melanin production, and possibly inhibiting post-epilation hair re-growth.

This article proposes a new classification system for cutaneous adnexal cysts based on their origin in the folliculo-sebaceous unit and sweat glands, aiming to clarify their categorization and origins.

This study identified the osteopontin-derived peptide, FOL-005, as a potential inhibitor of unwanted human hair growth by promoting catagen development without reducing stem cell numbers or showing toxicity.

This study observed that in an ex vivo setting, 17β-estradiol increased CB1 expression in human hair follicles, suggesting possible sensitivity to endocannabinoids and a potential mechanism for hair therapy.

The authors concluded that Lrig1-positive stem cells are essential for sebaceous gland formation in mice, as their ablation led to temporary sebaceous gland disappearance without affecting hair growth.

In this study, researchers found that most buffaloes in Basrah, Iraq, suffered mineral deficiencies, especially in zinc, cobalt, copper, and sulfur, with outdoor grazing buffaloes displaying more severe deficiencies than those kept indoors.

This review examines complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS I) mechanisms, including immune dysregulation and psychological factors, but reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight potential diagnostic refinements.

Finasteride forms three new products under acidic stress.

This review discusses the molecular role of the vitamin D receptor in regulating various biological actions such as bone mineralization and reports no new clinical results, highlighting the complexity of vitamin D's function in multiple tissues.

This review discusses the biochemical and biological functions of histone demethylases and their potential involvement in human diseases, including cancer, but reports no new findings.

Mammalian organs regenerate using stem cells and cell plasticity, but this ability declines with age.

This review discusses genetic and environmental factors contributing to autoimmunity in alopecia areata and reports no new clinical findings, emphasizing the need for further study on its aetiology and pathophysiology.

This review reports on the dual aspect of fullerene in skincare, highlighting its beneficial antioxidant properties as well as potential toxicity and skin cell reactions, while identifying areas for future research.

This study found that the transcription factor p63 is crucial for horizontal basal cell differentiation in the olfactory epithelium, suggesting a p63-dependent mechanism activates reserve stem cells after injury.

This study found that mouse skin can produce and metabolize serotonin and N-acetylserotonin, with activity influenced by location, physiological skin status, cell type, and mouse strain.

This review discusses the structural and functional advances in understanding sulfotransferases and sulfatases, highlighting new insights into enzyme mechanisms and inactivation by clinically relevant aryl sulfamates, but provides no new experimental results.

This review summarizes the role of neurosteroids in seizure disorders and highlights the potential of neurosteroid replacement therapy in epilepsy but presents no new clinical findings.

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 review discusses current medical and surgical treatments for androgenetic alopecia, highlighting the use of finasteride and minoxidil for men and the role of hair transplantation techniques, without providing new clinical results.

This study found that 78% of patients continued taking oral minoxidil for androgenetic or traction alopecia, with 33% reporting decreased hair shedding and 28% noting increased scalp hair.

This article reviews the role of vasoactive intestinal peptide in maintaining immune privilege in hair follicles and does not report new findings; the authors propose it as essential for immune homeostasis in alopecia areata.

This paper reviews the use of tacrolimus for various conditions, noting its effectiveness in treating certain skin disorders but highlighting that some findings remain anecdotal due to limited case numbers.

In this study, composite grafts were effectively used for reconstructing lower third nasal defects, providing good aesthetic outcomes with minimal complications and avoiding long scars associated with larger flaps.

The conclusion is that small hair follicles cause baldness in macaques, and treatments like antiandrogens and minoxidil can prevent hair loss and promote regrowth.

This letter clarifies that colchicine induces anagen hair loss, as shown in animal studies, and corrects a misquotation by Kligman, who suggested it caused telogen effluvium.

This study found that a peptide treatment using Protein disulphide isomerase improved the mechanical and thermal properties of over-bleached hair by promoting deeper peptide penetration and attachment.

This review examined dermatologic symptoms associated with COVID-19 in 2,560 patients, with chilblains/pernio-like lesions being the most common, suggesting these symptoms may aid in early identification of cases.
