This case report documents a rare instance of body-focused repetitive behavior in a 37-year-old male physician who compulsively pulled hair from his thighs due to exam stress, highlighting the variability in presentation and demographics of such disorders and the potential for psychiatric comorbidity.

This study found that group behavior therapy for trichotillomania led to greater short-term symptom improvement compared to supportive therapy, but did not achieve clinically significant changes or prevent relapse over six months.

This abstract discusses treatment options for benign prostatic hyperplasia and provides no new clinical results.

In this study, Trapa bispinosa Roxb. pericarp extract demonstrated inhibitory effects on 5α-reductase activity both in vitro using LNCaP cells and in vivo in a mouse model of benign prostatic hyperplasia, suggesting its potential role in managing the condition.

This study found that overexpression of betacellulin in transgenic mice delayed hair follicle morphogenesis and cycling, increased keratinocyte proliferation, and enhanced wound angiogenesis without affecting wound healing strength.

This review discusses biotin and biotinidase deficiencies, their symptoms, and methods of medical management, without presenting new clinical findings.

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 article reviews the potential of using PBM in 3D tissue engineering to improve cell viability under stress conditions but reports no new experimental findings.

This review highlights the potential of transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) as a non-invasive and affordable treatment for brain diseases, summarizing recent advances and successful protocols based on over two decades of research.

This article reports on three new cases of Birt–Hogg–Dubé Syndrome and emphasizes the role of genetic analysis in its diagnosis due to clinical challenges.

This study suggests that BTP levels in cerebrospinal fluid might help diagnose CIDP and predict therapy response but require validation in larger cohorts.

This study examined the clinicopathologic features of mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis testis in 14 patients, finding that the disease mostly presented as epithelioid type, with a propensity for high-grade tumors, and BAP1 and MTAP loss was uncommon.

This case report describes a woman with trichotillomania who experienced marked improvement and hair regrowth after off-label onabotulinumtoxinA treatment.

This study found that early biochemical screening and molecular confirmation are crucial for distinguishing profound from partial biotinidase deficiency, which supports timely treatment and management in symptomatic children.

This study observed that different alkaline buffers had a significant impact on the volume of liquid consumed by fall armyworm larvae, emphasizing the importance of measuring imbibed volumes to reduce dose errors in bioassays.

This study found that combining hair transplantation with platelet-rich plasma led to significantly better outcomes, such as reduced hair loss area and increased hair regeneration, compared to hair transplantation alone in patients with androgenic alopecia.

In this study, melatonin implantation altered BMP2 gene expression associated with hair follicle growth in Inner Mongolia Cashmere Goats, particularly reducing expression during the follicles' resting period.

This review discusses biotinidase deficiency, noting that biotin treatment from birth can prevent symptoms, but acknowledges the complexity and need for further understanding due to late-onset cases with varied clinical findings.

Temporal triangular alopecia is a lifelong condition with hairless patches on the side of the head that may be present from birth.

This study developed the mTurquoise2-Col4a1 mouse model and used fluorescent tagging of collagen IV to offer new insights into basement membrane dynamics during hair follicle budding, revealing that basement membranes are flexible and stable structures in developing skin tissue.

In this study, transgenic mice with a truncated latent transforming growth factor-beta-binding protein showed reduced keratinocyte proliferation and alterations in the hair cycle due to mis-localization of transforming growth factor-beta.

This report highlights a case of possible association between myotonic dystrophy type 1 and basal cell carcinoma, urging clinicians to consider this link despite negative genetic testing for known hereditary BCC syndromes.

This review discusses the molecular mechanisms and clinical applications of thymosin β4, highlighting its potential benefits for inflammation, wound healing, tumor metastasis, and other medical conditions but reports no new experimental results.

This study found that applying BPM 31543 twice daily was safe, well-tolerated, and showed signs of reducing chemotherapy-induced alopecia in women receiving taxane-based chemotherapy.

Mutations in the ACTB gene cause Becker’s nevi and may lead to muscle issues in Becker’s nevus syndrome.

This study suggests that basal cell carcinoma and trichoblastoma may share differentiation toward the hair follicle, as indicated by strong positivity in CK 15, follistatin, and Bmi‐1 markers.

This study concluded that overexpressing TERT and BMI1 in cultured human dermal papilla cells extended their lifespan and enhanced their ability to induce hair growth in mice.

This study found that PTEN regulates the number and genomic stability of hair follicle stem cells in the skin, with its deficiency leading to increased stem cell accumulation and senescence through interactions with BMAL1 and BMI-1.

This study suggests that skin tumor cells in tuberous sclerosis complex may promote hamartoma morphogenesis by expressing and releasing higher levels of cathepsin B.
