This study presents a new approach to automatically remove hair artifacts from dermoscopic images, which reportedly performed well compared to existing methods like DullRazor using the PH2 datasets.

This chapter reviews skin components, wound healing mechanisms, and the potential of biomaterials to enhance skin repair and regeneration, without offering new experimental results.

This study reports that zinc oxide or silver nanoparticles capped with vitamin A or E, incorporated into wheat gluten films, showed significant potential in promoting burn wound healing in mice by facilitating wound contraction, re-epithelialization, and collagen deposition, while also exhibiting antioxidant and antibacterial properties.

Targeting drugs to hair follicles can treat skin conditions, but reaching deep follicle areas is hard and needs more research.

This research explores if COVID-19, analogous to SARS-CoV, may result in long-term pulmonary fibrosis in recovered patients, although current evidence on the persistence or resolution of lung changes over time remains unknown.

In this study, researchers observed that after mesenchymal cell division in mouse and chicken embryonic skin, elevated migration speed and persistence for 180 minutes contribute to mesenchymal dispersal and preferential recruitment to dermal condensates.

This review outlines the various fibroblast subsets in the skin dermis, their origins, and their influence on epidermal stem cell behavior, highlighting the role of the local dermal niche in stem cell plasticity.

In this study, researchers found that the average measurements of the frontal hairline in Colombian women differ significantly from those reported in the United States and Spain, suggesting the need for using local measurements in surgical reconstruction.

In this systematic review, researchers found that nanotopical systems like nanoparticles and liposomes significantly improved hair density, thickness, and follicular regeneration markers in alopecia treatment, sometimes surpassing traditional therapies like topical minoxidil, though methodological limitations remain such as insufficient long-term clinical trials.

Most white Spanish women have a widow's peak, and their hairline measurements could help in hair restoration surgery.

In this study, platelet-rich plasma injections improved hair density by 19.17% in men with androgenetic alopecia over six months, although results varied by alopecia pattern.

This study found that in Colombian women with non-scarring alopecia, decreased serum ferritin levels were associated with telogen effluvium, but no such link was observed with thyroid disorders.

This article reviews the influence of thyroid hormone on skin and hair health, emphasizing its role in epidermal homeostasis and hair growth, but reports no new experimental results.

This review found a significant immunological link between diffuse alopecia areata and autoimmune thyroid disorders, particularly Hashimoto's thyroiditis, highlighting the importance of early recognition and thyroid function evaluation to improve clinical management and avoid diagnostic delays.

In this integrative review, researchers assessed the efficacy of oral minoxidil for treating alopecia, finding that it appears effective, especially for female androgenetic alopecia, though evidence quality is very low and side effects limit its use compared to topical forms.

This study presents evidence that hair matrix progenitors and the enzyme Stearoyl CoA Desaturase 1 may play a role in maintaining the dermal papilla niche via autocrine Wnt and paracrine Hedgehog signaling in mice.

This case report describes a 58-year-old male patient with alopecia frontal fibrosante in areas also affected by vitiligo, highlighting a possible association with autoimmune disorders.

This article reviews two cases of monilethrix in siblings, detailing their clinical and dermatoscopic characteristics, but reports no new findings.

This study found that dutasteride mesotherapy increased the diameter of existing hair in five Mexican men with androgenetic alopecia, without reported side effects.

This study suggests that fibromodulin may regulate transforming growth factor-β activity during scar formation, influencing the transition from fetal scarless repair to adult scar-forming repair in rats.

This article highlights the versatility and potential of alginate and its derivatives in tissue engineering applications, discussing their properties, modification techniques, and various uses in enhancing tissue healing, bone regeneration, and cell growth.

This study found that a nanoparticle-in-nanofiber system significantly accelerated wound healing in rats by promoting angiogenesis and tissue regeneration more effectively than a commercial wound dressing.

This review summarizes recent advancements in follicular targeting for drug delivery via hair follicles and calls for pilot studies in humans to explore potential clinical applications.

This review examines hair cosmetics, including shampoos and conditioners, for their formulations and effects, but reports no new clinical findings; it emphasizes the importance of dermatologist knowledge in treating diverse hair conditions.

This forum article in BMC Biology discusses evolving views on the concept of the stem cell niche, highlighting varied mechanisms and the need for better understanding of the niche's roles and functions.

Androgens can cause hair growth in some areas and hair loss on the scalp.

This review discusses various nanoparticles and nanoemulsions being investigated for transdermal drug delivery and reports no clinical results; it highlights potential applications in treating alopecia, wound healing, psoriasis, and melanoma.

This review examines dermatological side effects of taxane chemotherapy reported in past studies and highlights the necessity for identifying and managing these conditions to maintain cancer patients' quality of life; it presents no new clinical results.

This review examines the role of hair follicles and sebaceous glands in percutaneous drug delivery but does not report new clinical results; it calls for further exploration of follicle-targeting therapies.

This study suggests that while hair analysis using GC-MS is a sensitive method for detecting cocaine ingestion, it may not reliably indicate the amount, timing, or duration of drug use due to interindividual variability and multiple incorporation mechanisms.
