Hair increases in size when it absorbs water, and treatments like bleaching affect how much water it can take in.

In this research, the authors identify coordinated mechanical forces as crucial for hair follicle development in mammals, with contractile, proliferative, and proteolytic activities facilitating the formation and sectioning of epithelial structures crucial for forming a functional tissue.

In this study, researchers explored how hair follicle orientation is affected in the rosette fancy mouse and found that a mutation in the PCP gene Fzd6 caused reversed hair orientations in the posterior region, leading to the formation of unique whorls.

In this study, low-level laser therapy significantly improved the mechanical strength of bone at tooth extraction sites in rats, while neither platelet-rich plasma alone nor combined with laser affected mechanical strength or calcium content.

This study reports the synthesis and structural characterization of a novel dinuclear platinum(III) complex with potential antitumor and catalytic activity.

This case report describes a 15-year-old girl with severe hyperandrogenaemia linked to both an ovarian androgen-secreting tumor and HAIR-AN syndrome, highlighting the complexity of diagnosing polycystic ovarian syndrome.

This study describes changes in scalp hair color, including rare instances of repigmentation, following volumetric modulated arc therapy for skin cancer; this potential side effect may warrant discussion during informed consent.

This study found that fluconazole increased water transport in renal cells via effects on aquaporin-2 channels, suggesting potential as a treatment for nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, though clinical trials are needed to confirm efficacy in humans.

This case report identified a 4-month-old boy with Menkes disease, a neurodegenerative disorder of copper metabolism, noting symptoms like recurrent seizures, developmental delay, and specific physical characteristics, confirmed by genetic sequencing showing a pathogenic ATP7A mutation and low serum copper and ceruloplasmin levels.

This study found that combining second-harmonic generation with optical coherence tomography may effectively evaluate wound healing by monitoring collagen formation and optical signal changes in regenerated tissue.

This article reviews the cultural, historical, and marketing influences driving female pubic hair removal and argues it is socially seen as normative for aesthetic, hygienic, erotic, and self-image reasons.

This review discusses current developments in tooth regenerative therapy, including bioengineered tooth replacements, and emphasizes its potential to fully restore tooth function, but it presents no new clinical results.

Using cheek skin and cartilage grafts for nose reconstruction after skin cancer surgery can maintain shape and function but may require multiple surgeries and hair removal in men.

Researchers developed a quick and sensitive way to measure finasteride in blood using a small sample size.

This study reports the crystal structure and geometric parameters of a modified Finasteride derivative, highlighting significant differences in dihedral angles compared to its solvated analog and computational models.

This article presents a case of delayed diagnosis of Kearns-Sayre syndrome in a 38-year-old man and reviews clinical and laboratory findings associated with the disorder, reporting no new results.

This article discusses the development of skin patterns during embryogenesis and postnatal life, linking them to genetic, environmental, and mathematical factors, but presents no new empirical findings.

Human hair structure varies by ethnicity, and certain treatments can improve hair condition and appearance.

This case report describes a 50-year-old woman with palmoplantar psoriasis who developed alopecia areata after starting tildrakizumab, suggesting a possible paradoxical reaction related to the medication.

This study observed that, in mouse ear epidermal stem cells, a cell-autonomous size control mechanism involving the RB pathway dictates S phase entry timing based on cell size, despite external environmental variations affecting growth rates.

This study found that AI using YOLOv11 architecture can reliably differentiate between hyaluronic acid and silicone oil cosmetic fillers on ultrasound, achieving high accuracy, whereas identifying calcium hydroxyapatite and polymethylmethacrylate remains less consistent, requiring further improvements.

In this case report, treatment with anifrolumab led to significant improvement in symptoms for a 52-year-old woman with refractory systemic lupus erythematosus, including resolution of chronic lupus headaches resistant to previous therapies.

This study reviewed how Anifrolumab, though often used in real-world settings for SLE patients with neurological symptoms, showed varying effectiveness and required cautious monitoring for adverse effects like thrombocytopenia and cerebrovascular events.

This case report describes a physician's journey with systemic lupus erythematosus, illustrating the disease's impact on their professional life and treatment experiences, ultimately informing their holistic patient care approach.

In this case report, two female patients with refractory systemic lupus erythematosus showed significant improvement after treatment with the JAK inhibitor upadacitinib, indicating potential as a promising option for difficult cases, although further research is needed to confirm its broader safety and efficacy.

This case report highlights the challenge of distinguishing between neuropsychiatric lupus and rituximab-associated progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy in systemic lupus erythematosus patients, emphasizing the importance of early recognition and careful management.

In this case report, researchers described a 48-year-old man with systemic lupus erythematosus who developed a fungus ball (aspergilloma) within a tuberculosis cavity, a complication rarely reported in such patients, emphasizing the role of CT scans in diagnosis and the potential need for surgical intervention.

This review highlights that the combination of ultrasound and microneedles can enhance transdermal drug delivery by using physical and energy-driven mechanisms to improve drug penetration into deeper skin layers, with implications for precision medicine and chronic disease treatments.

This study found that stimulating toll-like receptor 5 via mucosal delivery of a flagellin-containing fusion protein effectively extended lifespan and enhanced healthspan in mice, including improved bone density and cognitive capacity.

This review highlights the advantages of a new "Multi-Wave Punch" for follicular unit extraction in hair transplantation, noting its design reduces follicular damage and improves graft quality by effectively separating hair follicles from surrounding tissue.
