This study found that goat placenta extract, when combined with PEGylated liposomes and microspicule gel, significantly promoted hair regrowth in patients experiencing hair loss due to chemotherapy by enhancing hair cell proliferation without causing skin irritation over a 12-week application period.

This study found that combined dietary supplementation of sodium hyaluronate and eggshell membrane was associated with various improvements in skin and coat health markers in healthy Ragdoll cats.

This study explored postpartum body image and menstruation experiences among 11 UK mothers, identifying themes of body dissatisfaction and the stress of resumed menstruation, while highlighting the need for better healthcare support and the positive role of reframing body perceptions towards functionality.

This study found that local heterologous leukocyte-rich platelet-rich plasma improved distal skin flap viability in rats by reducing necrosis compared to the control group.

In this laboratory study, researchers reported that Camellia sinensis seed flavonoids significantly reduced oxidative stress and inflammation in UV-irradiated skin cells by modulating key signaling pathways, highlighting its potential as a skincare ingredient for anti-inflammatory and anti-photoaging benefits.

In this pilot study, PDLLA scalp microinjections showed improvement in physician-rated Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale scores over 12-24 weeks for 90% of patients with non-scarring alopecia, with no serious adverse events reported, although findings remain preliminary due to methodological limitations.

This study demonstrated that a multifunctional hydrogel containing Prussian blue nanozymes and an ultrasound-responsive nitric oxide donor improved healing in diabetic wounds by reducing oxidative stress, promoting angiogenesis, and enhancing tissue repair in animal models.

This study found that integrating machine learning enhances the predictive accuracy of forensic DNA phenotyping from low template DNA, achieving high accuracy for traits like eye color, although challenges remain for admixed populations and complex traits.

This study examined argan oil inclusion complexes with β-CD, finding that these complexes improve the antibacterial efficacy, uniformity, and mechanical performance of hair treatment formulations while enhancing the durability of bleached hair, suggesting their potential as stable and effective cosmetic ingredients.

This study identified ten potential therapeutic targets and biomarkers for androgenic alopecia, with SOD1 and KL as particularly promising candidates for future therapies.

This review discusses the repurposing of auranofin for oncological and non-oncological uses and highlights its early-stage clinical trial findings, suggesting further exploration of its therapeutic potential.

This study found that in patients with severe alopecia areata, those who responded early to baricitinib treatment typically had a lower baseline Severity of Alopecia Tool score, shorter disease duration, and higher erythrocyte sedimentation rate, suggesting these factors may predict therapeutic success.

In this study, oral supplementation with NMN for 12 weeks in middle-aged Japanese women significantly increased hair growth density and diameter and improved subjective assessments of hair texture and quality of life, with no significant changes in hair hormone concentrations observed.

In this study, researchers using Astral—DIA proteomics technology identified 67 differentially expressed proteins in Gansu alpine fine-wool sheep, linking proteins like keratin and MGST3 in pathways to wool fineness regulation, particularly highlighting their association with hair follicle development.

This study evaluated methods to administer betulin in in vivo experiments and found that olive oil, food-grade lard, and other carriers increase betulin absorption in Wistar rats, while monitoring blood levels may aid future clinical research.

The LTF gene may help predict and manage nonspecific orbital inflammation.

In this clinical study involving individuals with localized alopecia areata, TrA injections were found to significantly outperform MTX, leading to better hair regrowth and higher patient satisfaction, though both treatments had similar mild side effects.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma therapy significantly improved hair density and reduced hair shedding in Vietnamese patients with androgenetic alopecia, with high patient satisfaction and minimal side effects.

This study identified specific gut bacterial pathways that may serve as potential therapeutic targets for managing androgenetic alopecia in obese individuals.

This study developed and tested two methods to accurately quantify hair growth rates in polar, black, and grizzly bears using dye application and isotopically labelled amino acids, revealing growth rate variations by individual and season.

In this pilot randomized clinical trial, TRT combined with finasteride increased lean mass, muscle size, and bone mineral density without prostate enlargement in men with spinal cord injury, suggesting potential benefits for body composition and musculoskeletal health.

This study found that micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) was highly effective for analyzing the cross-sectional geometry of hair fibres, including the medulla in highly curled hair, but less effective than scanning electron microscopy for surface details.

This study used a novel extraction method to detect and measure mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids in hair follicles, concluding these steroids may serve as effective biomarkers for diagnosing conditions related to steroid excess or deficiency, such as Cushing’s syndrome and congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

This study found that while most women reported aesthetic improvement after PRP facial injections, objective skin analyzer data showed no significant changes, but midface volume improvement was more likely in those with lower platelet counts and higher estradiol levels.

This study found that laccase-assisted grafting of poly(tyrosine) onto wool materials improved shrinkage resistance and mechanical properties while causing minor decreases in crystallinity and thermal resistance, suggesting a potential "green" approach to enhance wool durability.

This study analyzed scalp hair proteins from healthy children and their mothers, finding that non-structural proteins could serve as promising biomarkers for understanding long-term developmental changes and health status linked to early childhood experiences.

In this study, researchers examined juglone's potential as a restoring agent for hair keratin damaged by permanent or bleaching treatments, finding that juglone formed Michael adducts with cysteine residues, leading to a more regular hair surface as observed via IR spectroscopy and SEM analysis.

This review highlights the importance of selecting high-quality bioassays in discovering bioactive compounds from marine sources, emphasizing their role in evaluating safety and efficacy during pharmaceutical, food supplement, and cosmetic development.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata who have low vitamin D levels and high CRP levels are more likely to develop the universalis form of the condition, indicating a need for more aggressive treatment in these cases.
