Scurvy, caused by vitamin C deficiency, can occur in people with restrictive diets and can be diagnosed by twisted hair shafts.

This review explores mechanisms of skin angiogenesis and suggests targeting blood vessels as a promising therapy for skin diseases, but it reports no new research results.

This study developed a genetic toolbox to engineer Cutibacterium acnes for dermal applications, successfully creating a strain that secretes antioxidants to reduce oxidative stress in a UV stress model.

This study found that mice lacking the CXCR2 receptor regenerated tissue scarlessly in various injury models and that administering plasma or G-CSF from these mice to wild-type mice also reduced scarring, suggesting potential therapeutic strategies to improve human skin wound healing.

This study reports that hair follicle neural crest stem cells in mice can be differentiated into melanocytes, potentially aiding repigmentation in vitiligo-affected areas.

This study found that hair density is significantly lower in African Americans compared to whites, which may affect the evaluation and diagnosis of scalp biopsy specimens in this population.

This pilot study found a correlation between individual genetic inflammation profiles and the effectiveness of PRP treatment for hair regeneration, with differences observed between male and female responses.

The researchers reported that among Mediterranean Sicilian women with PCOS, Phenotype B exhibited the most severe metabolic abnormalities, notably obesity and altered glucose metabolism, whereas Phenotype D showed no such issues.

Many women with HIV in the North of England are diagnosed late and have other health conditions.

This study found that chemotherapy in female breast cancer patients caused significant early hair loss, which began to recover three months after completion, whereas tamoxifen did not affect hair growth.

This report describes three cases of postoperative necrosis following bilateral lateral reduction surgery, leading the author to discontinue the procedure and advise caution to others.

This study developed a simple and cost-effective chromatographic method for simultaneously analyzing betamethasone dipropionate and calcipotriol, achieving rapid separation within 7 minutes suitable for routine applications.

This study found that an acellular dermal matrix derived from tilapia skin significantly accelerated wound healing and improved tissue regeneration quality in mouse and pig models compared to a commercial porcine-derived matrix, suggesting its potential as a safe, cost-effective bioscaffold for skin repair.

This study reported successful repigmentation of perioral vitiligo using upper hair follicle transplantation combined with a 308 nm excimer laser, without undesirable hair growth in the treated areas, offering a potential approach for treating vitiligo cases unresponsive to traditional melanocyte transplantation.

This study identified two novel mutations in the CDH3 gene causing HJMD in a Chinese patient, expanding the genetic and phenotypic understanding of the disorder.

This review discusses the molecular mechanisms by which oncogenic viruses contribute to cancer development through manipulation of host cellular functions and highlights the need for further research into virus-associated cancers, reporting no new results.

This review reports that sex-related differences in pharmacological response have been observed in SARS-CoV-2 infection, dyslipidemia, and diabetes mellitus, with implications for treatment strategies; for example, men may respond better to genomic vaccines for SARS-CoV-2, while women may benefit more from certain antiviral medications.

In this study, researchers developed a 3D chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol-tannic acid nanofiber sponge that demonstrated effective hemostatic, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties without antibiotics, accelerated wound healing in vivo, and showed high biocompatibility with L929 cells, highlighting its potential as a wound dressing for clinical use.

This case report describes a 19-year-old patient with undiagnosed severe portopulmonary hypertension who experienced acute right ventricular failure and cardiac arrest following liver transplantation, subsequently managed with ECMO and a paracorporeal lung-assist device.

This study in Cirebon Regency, Indonesia found that using 45-day-old Lokananta shallot seedlings at a seed density of 7.5 g/m² led to the highest bulb production and revenue cost ratio, suggesting a potential technique for farmers to enhance shallot productivity.

This case report details an eleven-year-old male with recurring alopecia initially attributed to fungal infections but ultimately diagnosed as trichotillomania.

This study reported an increase in allergic contact dermatitis cases linked to natural products, particularly propolis and marigold, with a higher incidence in women than men.

PTHrP is important for bone formation and may be targeted for osteoporosis treatment and longevity therapies.

This case study presents an asthma patient with H1N1 pneumonia who developed invasive Aspergillosis despite avoiding steroids, suggesting that factors other than steroid use can contribute to IA in such patients.

A specific gene mutation causes woolly hair and hair loss.

The researchers reported that stress-induced keratins in human skin are expressed at lower levels than those in healthy skin and are co-regulated with genes involved in differentiation, inflammation, and immunity, rather than replacing keratins of normal differentiation or indicating cell proliferation.

This study found that simultaneous inactivation of pRb and p53 genes in mice's epidermis accelerates aggressive squamous cell carcinoma development, highlighting p53 as a key tumor suppressor.

This study found that the simultaneous inactivation of pRb and p53 genes in mouse epidermis accelerated aggressive squamous cell carcinoma development via activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor/Akt pathway.

In this study, significantly fewer men treated with finasteride for moderate to severe BPH symptoms experienced acute urinary retention or required subsequent BPH-related surgery compared to placebo-treated patients.

This article reviews the current status of oral retinoids in dermatology and reports no new clinical findings.
