In this uncontrolled study, ivermectin treatment for scabies resulted in the resolution of symptoms and negative skin scrapings in most patients at follow-ups.

This review explores the use of skin penetration enhancers like Transcutol® in various formulation systems, discussing their mechanisms and effectiveness in improving transdermal drug delivery without breaching the skin.

This study found that the transcription factor Gata6 plays a crucial role in adult mouse hair follicle regeneration by promoting the renewal and preventing DNA damage of rapidly proliferating progenitor cells.

This study provides evidence that Cyclosporine A inhibits catagen development in human hair follicles, suggesting different underlying mechanisms from those observed in rodent studies.

This study found that follicular streamers are mostly present in non-scarring alopecia cases, and tracking their location can improve diagnosis accuracy.

This study found that male liver cirrhosis patients have higher estradiol levels and lower dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, leading to hormonal imbalances favoring estradiol, but without changing sex hormone-binding globulin's binding properties.

This review concluded that finasteride may reduce hirsutism scores and hair diameter in women with hyperandrogenism, but concerns about teratogenicity and long-term safety make it a secondary treatment option.

This review assessed evidence on laser therapies for alopecia areata, reporting that the 308-nm excimer laser showed hair regrowth in several studies, while more research is needed for other laser types.

This review introduces an integrated view of hair follicle behavior, highlighting a Yin Yang model of regulation and suggesting glycans as key elements in hair follicle growth control, without reporting new clinical findings.

This study found that early life stress significantly affects hedonic sensitivity to high-palatable food by altering gonadal hormones in prenatally-stressed male and female rats, with sex-dependent changes in reward-related behaviors and neurochemistry.

This review covers recent developments in inner ear therapeutics and gene delivery methods but reports no new clinical results; it highlights potential strategies for treating hearing and balance disorders.

In this study, inactivating the TAF4 subunit of transcription factor TFIID in mouse epidermis disrupted gene expression linked to skin and hair function, and increased tumor risk.

This study identified a large deletion in the desmoglein 4 gene as the genetic basis of the Iffa Credo "hairless" rat's skin phenotype, linking it to lanceolate hair mutations.

This study found that neonatal mice without the urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) gene had reduced epidermal proliferation rates, suggesting uPA's involvement in promoting keratinocyte proliferation.

This review discusses micro-segmental hair analysis for forensic toxicology, emphasizing its potential to provide detailed drug distribution profiles and its application in investigations, while noting the method's limitations and future perspectives.

In this NIH study, female donor to male recipient sex mismatch was significantly associated with the development of vitiligo and/or alopecia areata in patients with chronic graft-vs-host disease.

The conclusion is that androgenetic alopecia and senescent alopecia have unique gene changes, suggesting different causes and potential treatments for these hair loss types.

This study found that both finasteride and dutasteride significantly reduced L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia in a rat model of Parkinson's disease, with dutasteride showing greater effectiveness at lower doses.

This article reviews advancements in burn care, emphasizing early wound excision's role in decreasing morbidity and mortality, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study reviewed the current state of intralesional therapy for keratoacanthoma, finding that while methotrexate, 5-fluorouracil, and interferon alpha are common agents, guidelines are still needed, and histopathological confirmation is advised to prevent misdiagnosis with squamous cell carcinoma.

This review discusses the mechanisms of skin aging, highlighting the roles of stem/progenitor cells, genetic and environmental factors, and suggests potential for cell-based therapies, but reports no new experimental findings.

This review discusses consensus guidelines for the use of acitretin in psoriasis, highlighting its ongoing utility in both mono and combination therapies, despite not always being recognized in treatment guidelines.

This article discusses the discovery of the first known menstruating rodent, the spiny mouse, and proposes that a significant increase in progesterone during the luteal phase is a unique feature of menstruating species, but reports no new experimental results.

This review discusses the generation of germ cell-like cells from skin-derived stem cells and reports no new results; the potential for these cells to produce viable progeny remains unclear.

This study found that men with adrenomyeloneuropathy often experience diffuse hair loss and severe male-pattern baldness, potentially due to the X-linked ALD mutation's role in androgenetic alopecia's genetic spectrum.

This review highlights the potential of aromatic plants as natural antioxidants in cosmeceuticals, which may combat skin aging and promote rejuvenation by counteracting oxidative stress, offering a natural alternative to synthetic products with benefits like photoprotection and anti-wrinkle effects.

This study found that lymphatic vessels promote hair follicle growth in mice and may represent new therapeutic targets for hair loss conditions.

This review found no evidence that DHEA improves quality of life or decreases menopausal symptoms in peri- and postmenopausal women, but it may slightly enhance sexual function compared to placebo.

This study found that topical cilostazol promotes hair growth, enhances hair follicle activities, and may serve as a potential treatment for alopecia.

This practical guide introduces methods to study human dermal white adipose tissue but does not report new clinical results, emphasizing available techniques and staining protocols.
