In this animal study, topical VEGF gel increased hair growth and thickness in Mesocricetus auratus, although it was not completely inert, highlighting the need for further toxicity confirmation.

This case study reports that a patient with extensive scalp scarring achieved an excellent cosmetic result when transplanted chest hair grew from an average of 4 cm at transplant to 15 cm after 18 months.

This study found that early life stress significantly affects hedonic sensitivity to high-palatable food by altering gonadal hormones in prenatally-stressed male and female rats, with sex-dependent changes in reward-related behaviors and neurochemistry.

The researchers reported that the net mineral requirements for weight gain in Morada Nova lambs differ from commonly recommended values by the Agricultural and Food Research Council.

This study found that DNA hypermethylation was present in melasma lesions, and treatments with sunscreen, niacinamide, and retinoic acid were associated with decreased methylation and clinical improvement.

This review summarizes the promising role of melatonin combined with nanosized carriers in drug delivery, suggesting enhanced effectiveness in treating various diseases compared to free melatonin.

This article reviews the use of dermoscopy in distinguishing temporal triangular alopecia from alopecia areata, emphasizing its role in avoiding invasive diagnostics and ineffective treatments; it reports no new clinical findings.

This study's simulations revealed the complex "onion-like" organization of a lipid nanoemulsion droplet containing vitamins A and E for skin delivery, showing distinct concentration patterns of these vitamins within different layers of the nanodroplet.

This study found evidence that polythelia pilosa, previously excluded from classification, should be reintroduced as it marks true aberrant mammary structures in men and hirsute women.

This study found that specific gene upregulations and mutations in hidradenitis suppurativa skin support the role of inflammation, altered epithelial differentiation, and metabolism dysregulation in the disease's pathogenesis.

This study found that the active use of androgen deprivation therapy was not associated with a reduced risk of death in prostate cancer patients with COVID-19.

This study explored the use of dexamethasone-loaded polymer hybrid nanoparticles in a xanthan gum hydrogel for treating alopecia areata, finding that freeze drying with sucrose influenced particle size, release, and permeation, but had no impact on cytotoxicity or anti-inflammatory efficacy in human keratinocytes.

This study found that human hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stem cells effectively maintained human embryonic stem cells in an undifferentiated state, comparable to mouse embryonic fibroblasts under standard conditions.

This review discusses the cost-effectiveness and potential benefits of platelet-rich plasma for facial dermal rejuvenation but reports no new clinical results.

This review reported that certain systemic drugs, including antiepileptics and anticancer drugs, can lead to changes in hair pigmentation, such as hypopigmentation or hyperpigmentation, with varied prevalence and clinical characteristics.

In this study, sarolaner administered orally proved effective in treating demodectic mange in a naturally infested cat in Brazil, as no mites were observed and skin condition improved after 21 days.

This study found that dermatoscopy can quickly and non-invasively detect facial vellus hair involvement in patients with alopecia frontal fibrosante, occurring frequently and associated with specific facial lesions.

In this study, using scRNA-seq, researchers detailed the gene expression and cell differentiation processes in goat fetal horn buds, identifying crucial roles for dermal and epithelial cells in horn initiation and highlighting potential genetic factors involved in horn morphogenesis.

In this study, researchers reported that individuals with post-COVID-19 alopecia experienced a significant impact on their quality of life, particularly in the vitality domain, when compared to those without alopecia.

This study found that sphingosine 1-phosphate and its receptor S1PR3 are essential in regulating the acute mechanical pain response, highlighting their role in mechanonociception without affecting responses to innocuous touch or thermal stimuli.

This study found that although soil and forage in Middle Paraíba, Brazil, contained normal to high copper levels, the surrounding bovine populations showed signs of copper deficiency likely due to antagonistic effects from high iron, zinc, and manganese levels.

This narrative review explores current understanding and management of female pattern hair loss, highlighting the role of genetic and environmental factors, and discussing diagnostic approaches like trichoscopy alongside emerging therapeutic strategies.

In this case study, a 7-year-old boy with kerion celsi experienced persistent inflammation even after microbiological clearance; dermoscopic-guided removal of hair and keratin debris improved his condition, suggesting a novel inflammatory mechanism involving granulomatous response to keratinous debris in tinea capitis.

In this prospective study, ritlecitinib effectively reduced hair loss in patients with severe alopecia areata, with 43.3% of participants achieving a 20 or lower SALT score by week 24, and showed a good midterm safety profile.

This review suggests that deficiencies in specific vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin A and zinc, may influence the risk of hair loss, though more research is needed to confirm this link.

In this case report, a rare association between Cushing's syndrome caused by ectopic ACTH from cervical cancer is documented, highlighting the diagnostic challenges, treatment complexity, and high morbidity and mortality, with the patient succumbing to septic shock post-surgery.

This case report highlighted a rare instance of Cushing's syndrome caused by ectopic ACTH from cervical cancer, demonstrating diagnostic challenges, treatment complexity, and high risks of morbidity and mortality, with less than 10 cases documented overall.

This source reports that Malassezia restricta appears more abundantly in fecal samples and may be associated with intestinal diseases such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, but is also found in healthy contexts; future research could inform targeted therapies.

This study describes the creation and two-year experience of a pioneering dermatological practice exclusively serving transgender and non-binary patients to address their unique dermatological concerns and promote healthcare equity, based on a retrospective analysis of 114 patients at a public hospital.

In this case report, a 34-year-old man experienced temporary hair loss after undergoing an endovascular procedure with fluoroscopy for facial arteriovenous malformation, which resolved within two months following treatment with topical Minoxidil and oral Cilostazol.
