In this study, plasma levels of MSH and cortisol in patients with alopecia areata did not show significant changes compared to healthy controls.

This study found that sexual trauma, particularly occurring between ages 5-7, was significantly associated with blunted hair cortisol levels, revealing a potential critical developmental stage affecting HPA axis function. No significant link was observed between cortisol reactivity and other adverse childhood experiences or stressors.

This study found that stress-induced signaling from the sympathetic nervous system in mice led to the depletion of stem cells in hair follicles, resulting in premature greying.

This review discusses the roles of the Agouti and Agouti-related proteins in pigmentation and energy regulation and reports no new experimental findings.

In this study, overexpressing TSPO in the mouse hippocampal dentate gyrus led to significant anxiolytic and antidepressant-like effects, partly through increased allopregnanolone biosynthesis.

This article reviews trichotillomania, highlighting its differences from OCD and recommending treatments like habit reversal therapy and specific medications, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses lipid nanoparticle-based cosmetics, emphasizing their potential in protecting skin from radiation and treating conditions like atopic dermatitis and psoriasis with synthetic and natural antioxidants. It highlights recent research on these formulations' effectiveness in alleviating skin disorders and enhancing skin health.

This review compiled by the authors emphasizes the traditional use of medicinal plants for dermatological disorders in India, highlighting the need for further scientific studies to validate their effectiveness and suggesting potential for drug development based on ethnodermatological practices.

This literature review explored the potential therapeutic applications of bee venom, Ficus carica, and Geranium essential oil in treating skin conditions like vitiligo, melasma, and melanoma, concluding these natural products may offer anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant benefits for dermatological care, especially for diabetic patients.

This review highlights the use of natural products in cosmetic-containing herbals for skin and hair care but reports no new clinical results, calling attention to their claimed curative properties and minimal side effects.

This study documented 80 plant species used as traditional cosmetics in parts of South West Nigeria, preserving orally transmitted information on these practices.

In this review, researchers explore various treatment options for alopecia, focusing on nano-drug delivery systems using plant-based substances, which are potentially effective and less harmful than current treatments, while also highlighting emerging trends such as 3D bioprinting and plant extracts for future therapies.

This study found that the extract of Eclipta prostrata L. demonstrated high antioxidant and anti-acetylcholinesterase activities, moderate inhibition of enzymes linked to diabetes, and favorable ADMET properties, suggesting potential cognitive and diabetes management benefits.

This clinical trial found that hemp seed oil may be a promising treatment for localized alopecia areata, with notable hair regrowth observed in some patients after eight weeks of use.

In this study, researchers developed a natural shampoo using traditional plant extracts and reported that its physicochemical properties and antioxidant activity were comparable to marketed shampoos. Further research is needed to confirm its performance and quality.

This study found that microwave-assisted extraction significantly increased the yield of secondary metabolites, including phenolic and flavonoid content, from Nardostachys jatamansi, enhancing its anti-Alzheimer's potential compared to conventional extraction methods.

This study systematically documented the ethnobotanical and ethnomedicinal knowledge from traditional healers in Addis Ababa, identifying 81 medicinal plants, including the endangered Echinops kebericho, used primarily for treating skin and general diseases.

This review examines the potential of Cucurbitaceae seeds, such as those from watermelon, melon, and pumpkin, as sustainable and innovative ingredients in cosmetics, highlighting their rich bioactive composition and benefits for skin and hair, despite challenges like environmental instability and low permeability.

This review highlights the multifunctional benefits of plant-derived ingredients in skincare, such as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, supported by biological evidence from medicinal plants like Camellia sinensis and Panax ginseng, suggesting their potential as natural dermocosmetic agents.

This review synthesizes current knowledge on choriogenesis, the final stage of oogenesis in insects, by exploring the role of follicle cells, regulatory mechanisms of gene expression, and the biochemical makeup of the eggshell, while also highlighting structural diversity and adaptations across insect species.

In this case report, a 38-year-old woman with Parry–Romberg syndrome displayed left-sided facial atrophy and subclinical central nervous system involvement detectable by neuroimaging, suggesting that even symptom-free cases may benefit from systematic brain evaluations.

In this study, both Unani formulations tested were effective in managing Telogen Effluvium, with Itrifal Kishneezi and Roghan Amla showing slightly faster early results in reducing hair shedding, although overall efficacy between the two treatments was comparable.

This literature review found that androgenetic alopecia has a complex multifactorial etiology and effective management should be tailored to individual severity and gender to improve patients' quality of life.

In this study, PA-011, a traditional Chinese medicine extract, was shown to improve hair growth in alopecia areata model mice by reducing skin inflammation and altering skin microbiota, indicating its potential therapeutic role for this condition.

This study examined Prunus mira populations in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau and found high genetic diversity and substantial phylogeographic structure, suggesting geographic isolation limits gene flow; the researchers propose conservation strategies to preserve genetic resources.

This research used computational methods to identify potential new treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia, finding three compounds from Ghanaian plants with promising binding energy against 5alpha reductase 2 compared to existing drugs, yet further in vitro validation is necessary to confirm their efficacy.

This study demonstrated that a strain of lactic acid bacteria from kimchi, identified as Pediococcus inopinatus, showed antibacterial activity against certain oral pathogens and effectively bleached stained artificial teeth and inhibited biofilm formation, offering potential for addressing teeth discoloration and halitosis.
