This article discusses a strip donor harvesting technique for hair transplantation and reports no clinical results; the author highlights the importance of anatomical knowledge for successful scar excision.

This article discusses the use of imiquimod as a treatment for actinic keratosis, basal cell carcinoma, and human papillomavirus warts, noting both its therapeutic benefits and common side effects such as local inflammation and flu-like symptoms.

This commentary discusses a study reporting that platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment led to increased hair growth in androgenetic alopecia patients, while critiquing its conclusion on the ineffectiveness of microneedling.

This study found that intralesional minoxidil alone has limited efficacy for non-severe patchy alopecia areata, though it may accelerate hair regrowth compared to spontaneous recovery.

This study demonstrates that miniaturized hair follicles in female pattern hair loss overexpress nuclear aryl hydrocarbon receptors, suggesting a potential role for environmental pollutants in this condition.

This review examines recent developments in tooth regeneration therapies using mesenchymal stem cells, but it reports no new clinical findings.

Hamilton scale imprecise, hair shaft diameter decreases, stem cell transplant regrows hair, ECP ineffective for alopecia areata universalis.

Metformin and thiazolidinediones are similarly effective for PCOS, but metformin is often preferred due to fewer side effects.

This study found that scalp hair loss is the most bothersome symptom of alopecia areata for both adults and adolescents, highlighting the need for treatments focused on improving scalp hair growth.

This meta-analysis concluded that 5α-reductase inhibitors may increase the risk of mild depression, particularly with dutasteride, in patients treated for benign prostatic hyperplasia and androgenic alopecia.

This study confirms that finasteride inhibits the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone in human dermal fibroblasts, suggesting potential therapeutic use for androgen-related skin disorders.

Side effects of drugs can lead to the discovery of new treatments.

This article reviews Elaine Fuchs’ groundbreaking discovery of adult skin stem cells' roles in homeostasis, wound repair, inflammation, and cancer, and reports no new results.

The correspondence discusses the higher prevalence of acne vulgaris in hidradenitis suppurativa patients, but notes potential overestimation due to unrecognized facial HS.

This article highlights the need for dermatologists to define evidence-based standards to provide high-value care and reduce unnecessary testing, as recommended by the American Academy of Dermatology.

In this study, focal atrichia was associated with late-onset female pattern hair loss, providing a clinical clue to its diagnosis, particularly separating it from other hair disorders.

This review discusses current developments in tooth regenerative therapy, including bioengineered tooth replacements, and emphasizes its potential to fully restore tooth function, but it presents no new clinical results.

This article discusses various dermatology mnemonics that can aid in memory retention for medical learners, with no new clinical results presented.

This study developed a novel smart deoxyribozyme-based fluorescent sensor that efficiently detects androgen receptor mRNA with high selectivity and can be adapted to target various nucleic acid sequences.

Trichoscopy helps tell different hair loss types apart using specific scalp and hair patterns.

This article reviews the role of androgens and oral contraceptives in acne pathogenesis and management but presents no new clinical results.

This study suggests that topical finasteride may benefit women with facial hirsutism, based on observations from a small sample.

This exchange discusses interpretations of syphilitic chancres, noting disagreement over whether multiple lesions are atypical given historical references that describe primary chancres as often being single.

In this study, periodic exposure to red light in aged mice led to increased histone acetylation and activated mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation, which collectively mitigated cellular aging by modulating metabolism, inflammation, and gene expression.

This study reports that two oral hormonal agents, dimethandrolone undecanoate and 11β-methylnortestosterone dodecylcarbonate, may effectively suppress hormones to contraceptive levels in men with mild side effects, though longer-term trials are required to confirm their safety and efficacy.

In this study, the combination of metoprolol and spironolactone in patients with coronary heart disease and heart failure significantly improved cardiac function and reduced inflammation and oxidative stress markers compared to spironolactone alone, with better clinical efficacy and fewer adverse effects.

This study observed that adults with thinning hair who ingested a patented botanical-based supplement experienced significant increases in hair shaft diameter and reductions in hair breakage over 180 days, suggesting improved hair strength and length across various demographic groups.

In this study, the researchers noted that physicians in China prioritize clinical hyperandrogenism when making PCOS treatment decisions, highlighting a need to align clinical practices with guidance recommendations and to clarify the role of biochemical hyperandrogenism in future guidelines.

This study found that inhibiting prolactin secretion during the telogen phase can reduce the number of activated secondary hair follicles and the width of hair bulbs.
