This study found that scalp micropigmentation significantly improved psychological well-being among adults by enhancing appearance satisfaction and perceived physical attractiveness, but not through a direct relationship with psychological well-being itself.

This study found that C57BL/6 mice with a diet containing specific levels of vitamin A showed alterations in retinoid metabolism and increased frequency of cicatricial alopecias, suggesting dietary factors may play a role in this condition.

This review highlights that bicalutamide, a non-steroidal antiandrogen used in prostate cancer treatment, is mainly effective through its (R)-enantiomer and emphasizes the need to monitor its adverse effects despite its targeted antiandrogenic action.

This study found that MEGA PROTAC improved the prediction of ternary structures with higher maximum DockQ scores compared to the BOTCP method in 16 out of 22 test cases.

In this case report, two cats with asthma developed localized skin lesions associated with inhalant glucocorticoid use, which resolved after adjusting treatment and administering milbemycin.

This study found that β-sitosterol, a brain-penetrable phytosterol, reduced melanoma cell growth and brain metastasis formation by interfering with mitochondrial respiration, suggesting its potential as an adjuvant therapy to BRAF inhibitors for patients with melanoma brain metastases.

This study found that macrophage-engineered extracellular vesicle mimetics may promote hair regrowth, presenting a potential alternative to extracellular vesicles for overcoming clinical production challenges.

This study found that there was no significant difference in hair regrowth between clobetasol and bimatoprost for scalp alopecia areata over 12 weeks, but bimatoprost had fewer side effects and prompted earlier, more pigmented hair regrowth.

This commentary discusses how common latent viruses might contribute to male-pattern baldness through mechanisms involving transcription factor deficiency and overexpression of specific proteins, based on a concept called microcompetition; it reports no new research results.

This study found that betamethasone increased tyrosinase activity and melanin content in amelanotic melanocytes from human hair follicles, suggesting a potential mechanism for glucocorticoid treatment in vitiligo.

This meta-analysis found that combined BRAF and MEK inhibitor treatment in melanoma patients is linked to increased all-grade rash but reduced risks of several other dermatological toxicities compared to BRAF inhibition alone.

In this study, vemurafenib was associated with a wide range of cutaneous side effects in patients with advanced melanoma, including photosensitivity and various skin and hair changes, necessitating regular dermatological management.

This article reports a case of macular amyloidosis associated with myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia, a combination not previously documented.

This article reports three cases of African American men with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, highlighting the need to consider this diagnosis for male patients with vertex hair loss and scalp symptoms.

In this study, researchers found that BST2 expression is significantly upregulated in skin sections of mice with alopecia areata, implicating BST2's role in the disease pathogenesis through the action of epidermal γδ T cells and macrophages.

This study found that 4-MA is a potent inhibitor of testosterone 5α-reductase in human tissues, promising potential for treating androgen-dependent skin conditions like male pattern baldness.

This article discusses the formation and membership of the British Association of Hair Restoration Surgeons and reports no clinical findings.

This study found that cross beam laser is a reliable tool for assessing scalp laxity in hair restoration surgery, with results comparable to the Mayer elasticity scale.

In this study, researchers found that the compound BMS-470539 induced a senescence-like state in fibroblasts from systemic sclerosis patients, reducing fibrosis-associated markers in vitro and decreasing skin thickness in a mouse model of skin fibrosis, suggesting a novel therapeutic strategy for managing fibroblast-driven diseases.

This study found that radiofrequency microneedling significantly enhanced the absorption of topical triamcinolone acetonide, with insertion depth being more influential than RF energy levels.

In this study, among 2,000 patients with alopecia universalis, mesotherapy combined with systemic treatments like BMI, JAK inhibitors, and adalimumab showed the highest success in hair regrowth, particularly for children, with the combination therapy group achieving a 42% positive response rate.

This study found that weekly low-dose bicalutamide was safe and appeared to be associated with high-grade PIN remission and favorable PSA modulation in subjects with persistently elevated PSA but negative biopsy.

This study found that male pattern baldness was associated with an increased risk of skin cancer at the head and neck, particularly affecting the scalp.

This case report presents the first known instance of bimekizumab improving psoriatic scarring alopecia, suggesting potential benefits of dual IL-17A/IL-17F blockade for this rare and challenging condition, warranting further investigation.

In this study, the researchers reported that activin B combined with bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells enhanced wound healing and hair follicle regeneration in rats by promoting cell migration through the ERK and JNK pathways.

This study reports that newly diagnosed patients with Bachmann-Bupp syndrome exhibit a broader phenotype than previously documented, including late-onset seizures, and suggests a possible universal biochemical mechanism involving elevated ODC activity.

CCCA affects Black men too, with a genetic link found in the PADI3 gene.
