This study found that women with PCOS and high BMI exhibited significantly increased hair growth compared to non-PCOS women, suggesting an additive effect of body weight on this phenotype in PCOS.

This study suggests that the protease HAT-L4 plays a significant role in maintaining epidermal barrier function to prevent body fluid loss, as its absence in mice led to increased fluid loss and higher mortality.

This study reports that transgender, non-binary, and/or gender expansive individuals often experience improved mental health and social relationships after accessing desired gender-affirming care, despite facing significant barriers.

This study found that topical melatonin and vigorous brushing did not affect hair regrowth in clipped Siberian Huskies, although lumbosacral hairs grew significantly shorter than lateral thigh hairs.

This paper suggests intralesional cidofovir as a potentially effective treatment for SCC with no systemic toxicity observed, but surgical excision remains the standard for its curative outcomes and thorough evaluation.

This article argues that the mind-body problem is a false issue, proposing that the mind merely temporally associates immaterial data with material support without actual interaction.

This study observed that among !Kung San males, adult androgen levels, particularly DHT, were negatively associated with indicators of fluctuating and directional asymmetry, suggesting a link to phenotype quality.

This article reviews the portrayal of the body as a site of transformation in media and fashion, concluding that modified bodies highlight cultural denial of natural imperfection but reports no new research findings.

This article explores the structure of mammal body hair and the challenges in explaining its evolutionary origins, reporting no new empirical findings.

This study observed that mice with a whole-body deficiency of Cystathionine-β-synthase developed severe hyperhomocysteinemia and related mild symptoms without increased mortality, indicating HHCy may not directly cause end organ damage.

In a mouse model of androgenetic alopecia, this study found that a safflower oil body nanoparticle loaded with human fibroblast growth factor 10 significantly improved hair regeneration and reduced associated microinflammation without significant toxicity.

This study found that women recovering from cancer developed a positive body image by focusing on acceptance and newfound trust in their bodies, despite the trauma of illness.

This study found that both transgender and cisgender individuals experience similar psychological and cosmetic benefits from surgical body modifications, but cisgender individuals typically have more autonomy and support in pursuing these surgeries.

In this study, Trf1 genetic deletion in mice, including those with cancer-prone mutations, was shown to not affect overall viability and cause only mild effects, while being necessary for tumor formation, suggesting a potential therapeutic window for Trf1 as an anti-cancer target.

This study found that among Inner Mongolian cashmere goats, body weight gain during the non-growing period positively correlated with increases in cashmere yield, staple length, and secondary hair follicle activity, suggesting that nutritional interventions may enhance cashmere production.

This study explored a multidimensional approach to examine body hairs' physico-chemical properties, potentially supporting their use over scalp hairs in forensic and intoxication studies.

This article discusses the modern societal obsession with body perfection and its impact on body dissatisfaction, escalating demand for aesthetic techniques, and advertising, without reporting new research findings.

This study found that during pregnancy, dairy cattle experienced an increase in body hair diameter and weight; however, after giving birth, the hair weight decreased.

This report of four pediatric alopecia cases highlights the varied patterns and treatments, noting that differentiating alopecia from trichotillomania is crucial due to their different management approaches.

This study found that recombinant oleosin-hFGF5 expressed in Arabidopsis can inhibit hair regeneration by decreasing the proliferation of hair follicle epithelial cells.

Skin aging reflects overall body aging and can indicate internal health conditions.

This study suggests that 3D bioprinting may become a practical solution for tissue regeneration and complex wound care, demonstrating improved outcomes over traditional methods in various applications.

This study demonstrates that 3D bioprinting is advancing toward practical use in reconstructive medicine, with promising results in personalized skin grafts, hair regeneration, and burn care, despite existing technical and ethical challenges.

In this case study, a 7-year-old boy with kerion celsi experienced persistent inflammation even after microbiological clearance; dermoscopic-guided removal of hair and keratin debris improved his condition, suggesting a novel inflammatory mechanism involving granulomatous response to keratinous debris in tinea capitis.

This study conducted a genome-wide association analysis on 1,125 ewes and identified 24 SNPs associated with wool production traits, and highlighted potential candidate genes like ADAR and TP53 for further research into the genetic mechanisms influencing wool growth in sheep.

This report describes a 27-year-old patient with Ehler-Danlos syndrome who also presented with hypophosphatasia and mastocytosis, and suggests enzyme replacement therapy might alleviate symptoms in such overlapping genetic conditions.

In this pilot randomized clinical trial, TRT combined with finasteride increased lean mass, muscle size, and bone mineral density without prostate enlargement in men with spinal cord injury, suggesting potential benefits for body composition and musculoskeletal health.

This case report describes a successful treatment of sarcoidal foreign body reactions caused by permanent makeup ink with local steroid injections, while also identifying the involvement of M2 macrophages in the reaction.

This study found that women with PCOS in a Middle Eastern population reported significantly lower self-esteem and body image satisfaction compared to those without PCOS, with PCOS respondents feeling less attractive, avoiding mirrors and social interactions, and expressing a stronger desire to lose weight.

In this study, the researchers used dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome exhibit a central fat distribution pattern despite not having increased overall fat compared to controls, suggesting this method's potential utility in diagnosing and monitoring PCOS.
