This study demonstrated that skin organoids derived from human stem cells can model cutaneous tuberculosis, revealing that fibrosis development in Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected organoids is linked to the PI3K-AKT and AP1 pathways in fibroblasts, and suggesting the potential for antifibrotic treatment evaluation.

This study used whole-genome resequencing to analyze genetic diversity and selection in 17 rabbit breeds, identifying genes linked to traits like coat color and body size, which could inform breeding and conservation efforts.

This study found that when choosing between hair transplant and scalp micropigmentation for female pattern hair loss, scalp micropigmentation is preferred if hair density is at least 104.6 hairs/cm².

In this systematic review and meta‐analysis, botulinum toxin monotherapy was found to significantly increase hair density in patients with androgenetic alopecia, with optimal effects observed using a 100-unit dose every six months. These findings suggest potential efficacy but should be confirmed in larger, placebo-controlled trials.

This study found that combining topical minoxidil with phototherapy significantly improved pigmentation and reduced vitiligo severity compared to placebo, as measured by VASI scores over 12 weeks, though the sample size was small and follow-up short.

This study found that ChatGPT 4.0 and Gemini 1.5 Flash provided more accurate and user-friendly responses to androgenetic alopecia questions than Deepseek R1, suggesting they could be effective tools for patient education with physician guidance.

In this study, researchers examined 1,000 South Asian patients misusing topical corticosteroids for dermatophytosis and found that this misuse resulted in atypical, chronic, and recurrent fungal infections called steroid-modified dermatophytosis, often involving extensive and atypical skin presentations.

This meta-analysis found a significantly higher prevalence of depressive symptoms in women with PCOS compared to a control group, with 42.11% versus 13.62% according to the BDI assessment, highlighting the need for psychiatric evaluation and support for women with this syndrome.

This study found that oral tofacitinib significantly reduced alopecia severity and improved quality of life over 12 months for children with moderate to severe alopecia areata, though the authors recommend more research due to the small sample size and absence of a control group.

This study synthesized existing research on 11 tropical seed varieties, underscoring their potential in food, pharmaceutical, and agricultural industries due to their phytochemicals and nutrients, such as phenolics and vitamins, which could reduce waste and support sustainable practices.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma therapy led to greater improvements in hair density and patient satisfaction compared to topical 5% Minoxidil in androgenetic alopecia patients over 12 weeks.

This review examines various skin pigmentation disorders, their causes, and potential treatments, detailing 25 plants, 4 marine species, and 17 clinically tested topical and oral medications for managing these conditions.

This study described the incidence and prevalence of alopecia areata in Australia's primary healthcare population, finding the highest incidence in individuals aged 19 to 34, with males more affected than females.

The researchers reported that an oral supplement containing hydrolysed fish-origin collagen, taurine, cysteine, methionine, iron, and selenium significantly improved the effectiveness of anti-hair loss treatments in people with androgenic alopecia or chronic telogen effluvium after 12 weeks, compared to drug treatments alone.

This study found that 12 weeks of melatonin supplementation improved mental health and metabolic parameters in women with polycystic ovary syndrome compared to a placebo.

This study reported that in a case series of three adolescents with alopecia areata and atopic dermatitis, treatment with 15 mg/day of upadacitinib led to rapid improvement in skin symptoms and significant hair regrowth over 12 months, with no severe adverse events observed.

This controlled study found that patients with androgenetic alopecia treated with a combination of subcutaneous adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells and oral minoxidil showed significantly better hair growth outcomes than those treated with oral minoxidil alone, with improvements ranging from 25-40% versus 5-10% over six months.

This article reviews the skin changes during pregnancy, categorizing them by their relation to pregnancy and highlighting cosmetic concerns, but reports no new results.

A medication may help with hair growth in psoriasis, and a skin condition might be linked to a specific bacteria.

The authors propose that higher testosterone levels in hospitalized COVID-19 patients might be associated with worse outcomes.

This study found that combining cyproterone acetate with testosterone enanthate was highly effective in suppressing spermatogenesis, suggesting potential as a reversible male contraceptive method.

This study reported that the 1565 nm non-ablative fractional laser treatment significantly improved various hair growth indices in patients with androgenetic alopecia compared to 5% minoxidil, demonstrating its superior clinical efficacy and safety for treating this condition.

This study constructed a comprehensive atlas of prenatal human skin, revealing that innate immune cells, such as macrophages, play a crucial role in skin morphogenesis by interacting with non-immune cells, influencing hair follicle formation and angiogenesis beyond their traditional immune functions.

This review discusses the potential of microneedles to enhance transdermal drug delivery by expanding the range of deliverable drugs, highlighting fabrication methods, material choices, and applications, but notes existing challenges with sustained delivery, cost-effectiveness, and large-scale production.

This study found that a topical gel formulation containing rice water demonstrated in vitro antioxidant activity and elastase inhibition, suggesting its potential as an anti-aging skincare ingredient.

This review discusses the development and impact of barbed sutures on surgical outcomes across various procedures but reports no new clinical results.

This study introduces a novel computational model using fuzzy logic and multi-criteria decision-making techniques to create a triage system for androgenetic alopecia management, stratifying patients into seven severity levels and aiding in resource allocation and treatment planning.

This study found that using platelet-rich plasma alongside minoxidil and finasteride/spironolactone during hair transplant surgery for androgenetic alopecia improved follicle survival, hair growth rates, and hair strength.

This study found that three genetic loci, including the newly identified JMJD1C, are associated with circulating testosterone and dihydrotestosterone levels, explaining a small portion of their variance in European men.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma was effective for hair regrowth in women with androgenic alopecia, though less so than minoxidil, but it was associated with improved quality of life responses.
