This review concluded that corticosteroids improve muscle strength and function in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy over short-term periods, but evidence on prolonging walking ability remains insufficient, and side effects are common.

This study found that TRPA1-deficient mice exhibited normal cold sensitivity but had decreased mechanical response in nociceptors, suggesting TRPA1's role in mechanotransduction.

This article discusses the hair follicle's regenerative cycles and the molecular mechanisms influencing them, emphasizing the need for therapeutic targeting of the "hair cycle clock" to manage hair growth disorders, without reporting new research findings.

This study found that while MK-0773 significantly increased lean body mass in sarcopenic frail elderly women, it did not significantly improve muscle strength or physical function compared to placebo.

In this study, researchers found that the number of dermal papilla cells in hair follicles determines hair size and shape in mice, suggesting potential avenues for addressing hair loss.

The cuneate nucleus has two main neuron types: relay neurons and interneurons.

This study found that psychoemotional stress disrupts hair growth in mice by terminating anagen and suggests a potential pathway for pharmacological management of stress-related hair loss in humans.

This study found that oral isotretinoin achieved good to excellent clinical results in treating severe inflammatory acne, severe rosacea, and gram-negative folliculitis.

This study found that finasteride improves scalp hair growth in men with male pattern hair loss by reducing scalp dihydrotestosterone levels, but it did not benefit postmenopausal women with female pattern hair loss.

This study found that latanoprost induces significant growth and pigmentation of lashes and ancillary hairs, with effects mirroring both brief and chronic treatments observed in patients and animal models.

This review discusses the various common, rare, and unusual skin manifestations of lupus erythematosus and highlights the importance of accurate diagnosis, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that 'smart' peptide hydrogels improved wound healing in a rat model of partial thickness burns, achieving greater wound closure and faster debridement compared to a standard treatment.

This study found that trilostane was effective in resolving symptoms such as polyuria and polydipsia in many dogs with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism, with significant hormone level reductions observed.

This study identified a new type II cytokeratin, named K6hf, exclusively expressed in the companion layer of the human hair follicle, distinguishing it from other keratins and suggesting a unique biochemical role.

This study found that Na CMC hydrogel loaded with PEG-coated silver nanoparticles demonstrated superior antibacterial and wound-healing efficacy compared to commercial silver sulfadiazine cream in a wound-healing model.

In this study, researchers found that in late pregnancy, the neuroactive progesterone metabolite allopregnanolone inhibits HPA axis responses to immune challenges via an opioid-mediated mechanism.

This study suggests that miniaturization in pattern hair loss may occur abruptly and can be reversed with treatment, as supported by histologic evidence in finasteride-responsive patients.

This study found no evidence supporting the hypothesis that Aβ afferents sprout into the superficial laminas of the spinal cord after nerve injury in rats.

This article reviews the clinical, psychological, and management aspects of androgenetic alopecia in men, stating that it can be effectively managed by generalist clinicians with pharmacotherapy and surgical advancements.

Foals with Rhodococcus equi infection often have other health problems that lower their chances of survival.

This review summarizes the anatomical and physiological aspects of human hair and its clinical significance, but does not report new research findings.

This study defines classification criteria for hair follicle dystrophy using a mouse model of chemotherapy-induced alopecia, providing tools for standardized hair damage assessment.

This review discusses the applications and research on fibroblast growth factors, including their use in wound healing, diabetes, and cancer, but it reports no new clinical results.

This review covers the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency and reports no new findings.

This study identified WNT10A as crucial for adult epithelial cell proliferation and differentiation, suggesting β-catenin pathway activation may help address regenerative defects in WNT10A mutation patients.

Minoxidil quickly leaves blood, turns into urine metabolites, and has lasting blood pressure-lowering effects.

This study found that simultaneously inhibiting both KLK5 and KLK7 proteases completely rescued skin barrier defects in a mouse model of Netherton syndrome, suggesting both should be therapeutic targets.

This study found that during late pregnancy in rats, there is an increase in extrasynaptic GABA A receptor number in granule cells of the dentate gyrus, linked to hormonal fluctuations.

This article reviews recent updates on alopecia areata, focusing on its causes, clinical presentation, and treatment options, and provides treatment plans by patient age and disease extent, but reports no new clinical results.

The researchers reported that reactive oxygen species regulate the stress-induced SP-Mast cell pathway, which might support using antioxidants to treat stress-related hair loss.
