This study found that bupropion SR may improve symptoms in female trichotillomania patients who did not respond to SSRIs, with benefits maintained through a 16-month follow-up.

In this study, researchers developed de novo designed hetero-bifunctional proteins as an alternative approach for targeted protein degradation, successfully targeting BCL-xL for degradation in cells and inducing apoptosis, which may expand the range of addressable E3 ligases and disease targets.

This study developed a niosomal delivery system loaded with tretinoin and bicalutamide, optimized for follicular targeting in acne management, showing promising accumulation in hair follicles in animal models.

This review explores the potential of non-invasive photobiomodulation therapy for managing combat and traumatic soft tissue injuries, emphasizing its benefits, efficacy, and underlying mechanisms, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that misexpression of Hoxc8 in mice led to ectopic mammary development and suggests Hox genes may play crucial roles in the regional specification and initiation of cutaneous accessory organs.

This paper highlights the emerging trend of treating androgenic alopecia with botulinum toxin, despite insufficient scientific evidence supporting its effectiveness.

This review discusses managing common and notable adverse events associated with the antibody-drug conjugate trastuzumab deruxtecan in patients with HER2-positive unresectable/metastatic breast cancer and reports no new clinical results.

This study reported that a modified version of Thymosin beta 4, called PEG-rTβ4, demonstrated potential as a treatment for acute myocardial infarction by improving cardiac function and reducing cell death via specific biochemical pathways, suggesting its promise in drug development efforts.

This review discusses the intracellular activity of β-thymosins and their role in modulating the actin cytoskeleton, but it reports no new experimental results.

This study suggests that while subcutaneous Botulinum Toxin Type A may offer short-term symptom improvement for female pattern hair loss, its effectiveness does not extend beyond three months.

This review discusses the emerging considerations and challenges of uterus transplantation for transgender women but presents no new clinical results.

This research discusses potential cancer vaccine strategies using cell-based and DNA vector-based approaches, and suggests targeting the v3 splice variant of thioredoxin reductase 1 to inhibit cancer cell motility and metastasis formation.

In this study using a mouse model, the authors reported that the synthetic antioxidant TS-13 effectively inhibited tumor growth comparably to doxorubicin and reduced chemotherapy side effects, such as weight loss, splenotoxicity, and alopecia, more effectively when combined with the cytostatic treatment.

The authors concluded that capecitabine and high-dose toremifene may be an effective treatment option for patients unable to undergo anthracycline or taxane therapies, based on one woman's cancer management.

This review revisits hair-thread tourniquet syndrome, highlighting the importance of prompt diagnosis and treatment by removing the constricting hair or similar substance to prevent damage to affected body parts, aiming to raise healthcare professionals' awareness for better prevention and management.

This report discusses the challenges of interpreting bone mineral density in transgender individuals undergoing hormone therapy and highlights the lack of guidelines for assessing fracture risk or BMD results in this population.

This study found that after application of a testosterone cream containing 17α-methyltestosterone and testosterone propionate, these compounds could be detected in dried blood spots up to 97 hours post-application, potentially leading to sample contamination during fingertip puncture.

This study found that using a contrast agent in Microbeam Radiation Therapy simulations increased the target dose but concluded that using a linear accelerator as an X-ray source did not preserve MRT advantages.

This review discusses body hair transplants as a supplement to scalp donor hair in hair restoration, but reports no clinical results; the authors note variability in outcomes and suggest it helps patients with limited scalp donor resources.

This case report describes a unique instance of late-onset Björnstad syndrome in an 18-year-old female, mimicking androgenetic alopecia, and indicates potential improvement with JAK inhibitor baricitinib, highlighting the need for considering this syndrome in similar cases of patterned hair loss in young individuals.

Topiramate may help improve disruptive behaviors in children with bipolar disorder.

Human hair follicles have their own thyroid hormone system.

This case report describes a 36-year-old female patient with panhypopituitarism, experiencing severe adrenal insufficiency and thyroid hormone deficiency, which led to electrolyte imbalance, QT interval prolongation, and ventricular tachycardia; treatment stabilized her condition, underscoring the importance of hormonal evaluation in arrhythmia assessment.

Phenobarbitone can cause severe and sometimes fatal skin reactions.

In this study, testosterone was found to increase the risk of arrhythmias in a rat heart model, while finasteride reduced this arrhythmogenic effect.

This study found that co-drugs synthesized from hydroquinone and tranexamic acid improved skin targeting and deposition, with reduced irritation and enhanced efficacy for treating hyperpigmentation.

In this study, researchers found that specific treatment parameters disrupted follicles and sebaceous glands, damaging the bacteria Cutibacterium acnes and promoting follicular remodeling, which may improve both inflammatory and noninflammatory acne lesions.

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.
