Minoxidil improves blood flow and vessel flexibility, potentially helping with vascular stiffness.

This article reviews central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, focusing on its multifactorial etiology and challenges in clinical diagnosis, and calls for more research and better treatment options.

This study found that mange-infected bare-nosed wombats have increased heat loss, higher metabolic rates, altered behavior, and disrupted fatty acid composition compared to healthy individuals.

The document describes a woman with familial Parkinson's disease due to a genetic mutation, showing severe symptoms and poor response to treatment, and suggests finasteride may help reduce symptoms in Tourette syndrome.

This review proposes a classification system for childhood hair loss based on clinical appearance, age of onset, and associated symptoms, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that acute sleep deprivation enhanced 5α-reductase expression and activity in the rat prefrontal cortex, and finasteride treatment reduced associated psychosis- and mania-like behaviors.

In this study, oral finasteride treatment for four weeks reduced the weight of the corpus cavernosum in rats but did not significantly affect erectile function.

In this study, researchers found that petroleum ether extract of Eclipta alba significantly stimulated follicular keratinocyte proliferation and reduced TGF-β1 expression in nude mice, suggesting potential use for certain types of alopecia.

This study found that Ganoderma lucidum extracts reduced prostate enlargement and improved symptoms in testosterone-treated rats, suggesting potential benefits for managing benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Reflectance confocal microscopy can tell apart white dots on the scalp as either sweat gland ducts or hair follicle openings.

This review proposes a new approach for categorizing and diagnosing unruly hair forms, building on previous literature and clinical experience, without presenting new clinical results.

This study found that exposure to finasteride impaired spermatogenesis in male Xenopus laevis by affecting sex-specific feedback mechanisms in the hypothalamus–pituitary–gonad axis.

Finasteride significantly reduced tics and obsessive-compulsive symptoms in patients with Tourette syndrome.

This study used single-cell RNA sequencing to create a detailed atlas of human scalp hair follicles and found that early-stage hair graying involves matrix hair progenitor depletion linked to P53 pathway activation.

This case report documents the first known instance of heparin necrosis linked to tinazaparin, indicating that low-molecular-weight heparin may still cause serious side effects like conventional heparin.

THAP1 gene changes do not affect DYT1 dystonia; finasteride may help reduce tics and OCD in Tourette syndrome.

This study developed dissolving microneedles using specific polymers for transdermal delivery of rizatriptan benzoate, demonstrating improved drug skin penetration and significant alleviation of migraine symptoms in vivo compared to passive diffusion, suggesting potential advantages over conventional treatment methods for acute migraine.

The researchers observed that normal murine hair follicles are direct targets for melatonin, with receptor expression varying throughout the hair cycle, suggesting melatonin's role in hair cycle control.

This article discusses the potential for topical caffeine as a natural alternative for treating androgenetic alopecia due to its ability to penetrate skin, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that a gintonin-enriched fraction from ginseng promoted hair growth in mice by stimulating dermal papilla cell proliferation and increasing hair follicles and weight.

This article describes the immunofluorescence tomography method to achieve high-resolution 3-D reconstruction of epithelial tissues and reports no clinical results.

This article discusses melanocyte development from neural crest cells and reports no new experimental results; the authors suggest a broader range of functions for melanocytes than previously recognized.

This case report discusses minoxidil-induced anasarca as a potential side effect in patients using minoxidil for hypertension, emphasizing the importance of recognizing it for early diagnosis and management.

This article reviews how biomaterials and stem cells could advance regenerative medicine but does not report new results, emphasizing the potential of combining novel biomaterials with stem cells for effective therapies.

A specific gene mutation is linked to a hereditary form of dystonia that responds well to certain medications.

This study found that transthyretin and megalin expression in human scalp hair follicles varies significantly with the hair growth cycle, peaking during anagen and diminishing in catagen and telogen phases.

This article reviews common scalp and hair disorders in children and adolescents and outlines diagnostic approaches, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that nicotine caused damage to cochlear hair cells in vitro, and melatonin might protect against this damage, indicating its potential as a treatment for smoking-induced hearing loss.

This study found that redheaded individuals had higher levels of vitamin D precursor 25(OH)D3 compared to non-redheaded individuals, suggesting a physiological adaptation to low UVB radiation in Europe.

This study optimized a screening assay to identify molecules that inhibit or enhance TRPM5 ion channel activity, which may have implications for treating dysfunctions linked to cardiac arrhythmias and diabetes.
