This chapter reviews the role of self in disorders related to the OCD spectrum, such as hoarding disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, and trichotillomania, and reports no new findings.

In this study, phosphorus starvation in Arabidopsis thaliana roots strongly affected stress-induced cytosolic calcium ion modulations, which were reversible with phosphorus resupply.

In this review, the authors discuss how SOX9 functions as a key regulator of epithelial cell fate and tissue repair, suggesting its role in integrating environmental signals, which could inform regenerative medicine approaches despite potential risks like fibrosis and cancer.

This review highlights the use of droplet microfluidics in microgel fabrication, emphasizing its ability to control microgel properties and discussing applications in areas like drug delivery and tissue engineering, as well as addressing current challenges and future research directions.

This paper argues that the Equality Act's definition of 'disfigurement' should include a wider range of appearance-altering conditions beyond just scarring, due to overlaps with appearance and disability concepts.

This study suggests that translation levels may determine the proliferative potential of cultured human keratinocyte colonies, affecting their differentiation during epidermal maintenance and repair.

This article reviews treatment approaches for trichotillomania, emphasizing differences from OCD therapies and recommending specific management strategies, without providing new experimental findings.

This review explores the structural and functional sex differences in mammals beyond reproductive organs, highlighting variations in life expectancy, organ size, metabolism, and immune function, but it reports no new results.

This review examines the adaptive value and mechanisms of seasonal coat colour moulting in birds and mammals, highlighting the challenge of camouflage mismatch and the necessity for evolutionary adaptation under climate change.

This study introduces the multiple papillary centres model, offering a new explanation for hair twisting by combining known hair morphology features with differential growth rates caused by dermal papillae.

This review discusses molecular regulatory circuitry in organ regeneration, using skin regeneration examples, and reports no new experimental results; the authors propose that understanding this circuitry might aid in developing therapeutic strategies.

In this study, researchers linked defects in U2HR, an inhibitory region in the HR gene, to Marie Unna hereditary hypotrichosis, suggesting a mechanism for controlling hair growth and addressing hair loss.

This review evaluates the efficacy and safety of topical sensitizers in treating alopecia areata but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that in patients who underwent jejuno-ileal bypass for morbid obesity, dapsone was effective in treating inflammatory skin lesions and joint symptoms when other antibiotics failed.

In this study, researchers found that human fingerprint ridges are formed through a modified hair follicle developmental process and spatial patterns influenced by specific signaling pathways.

In this commentary, the authors discuss the challenges and proposals for responsibly translating regenerative therapies into clinical practice, emphasizing the need for patient education, quality control, and real-world evidence to validate these therapies and address ongoing misinformation in the field.

This review discusses topical and oral treatments for acne in children and provides guidance on tailoring these treatments according to acne severity, but it reports no new clinical results.

This abstract reports an influenzalike illness with varying antibody titers observed in a woman and her husband, but it does not provide broader clinical findings.

This study found that testosterone more accurately predicts PCOS diagnosis than 11-oxyandrogens, which were linked with hirsutism severity and showed varying responses to contraceptive and metformin treatments.

This review discusses the quality of life impact of hair loss disorders and potential psychological treatment approaches but reports no new clinical results.

This study proposes that seasonal alopecia and reproductive changes in six female fossas at the San Diego Zoo may be linked to hormonal changes associated with reproductive activity.

This study suggests that IT PEP injection may have beneficial effects after spinal cord injury, but additional research is necessary to better understand and optimize its clinical application.

This study found that the HairComb algorithm achieved high accuracy in quantifying percentage hair loss across various types of alopecia, suggesting its potential for standardized automated assessments.

This study reviewed changes in marketing practices of Australian clinics after a regulatory ban on direct-to-consumer advertising of stem cell products, finding improvements yet also limitations in addressing misleading claims and consumer safety.

This article provides physician associates with an evidence-based approach to diagnosing and treating alopecia, focusing on recognizing patterns, identifying triggers, and applying targeted interventions to improve patient outcomes in hair loss.

This case series examined five male burn patients who developed folliculitis barbae or pseudofolliculitis barbae, highlighting the underreported nature of these complications and the variability in treatment response. The authors call for standardized diagnostic criteria and treatment protocols for these conditions in burn survivors.

In this study, researchers identified four novel variants in the FGF5 gene associated with the long-haired phenotype in dogs, suggesting additional unexplored genetic factors contribute to this trait beyond the known Lh1-Lh5 alleles.

This review reports that innovative topical treatments for dermatologic conditions like acne and atopic dermatitis show minimal systemic absorption, indicating improved safety and tolerability compared to traditional therapies.

In this narrative case report, the authors discuss a patient recently diagnosed with an early-stage hematologic malignancy, highlighting her skepticism toward conventional medicine and preference for natural remedies over pharmaceutical treatments.

This study found that a nutritional intervention in dogs can alleviate atopic dermatitis symptoms by modulating immune responses and altering skin microbiome composition, which includes reducing fungal diversity and the abundance of pathogenic species such as Malassezia pachydermatis.
