RV3466F lotion significantly reduces hair loss and improves acute telogen effluvium.

This study reports an increased frequency of the DI genotype of the ACE gene polymorphism among women with PCOS, notably in those with hyperandrogenism, and an association of the II genotype with insulin resistance.

This review outlines the classification, histopathologic presentation, and pathogenetic concepts of scarring and nonscarring alopecias, reporting no new clinical results and emphasizing the need for clinicopathologic correlation.

This study reports the successful generation of inducible pluripotent stem cells from mesenchymal stem cells derived from human hair follicles, marking a novel method of reprogramming these cells.

This study reports that Lef1 plays a crucial role in promoting bulge stem cell differentiation towards hair fate by activating β-catenin and downstream signaling pathways during hair follicle development.
