This study found that visits for hair- and scalp-related disorders to a derm clinic increased significantly over a decade, with androgenetic alopecia showing the largest rise.

This study reports the development of a microemulsion using Momordica charantia extract, which demonstrated strong antioxidant and 5α-reductase inhibitory activity, potentially aiding hair loss management. The microemulsion was stable over 12 weeks, suggesting its future potential for cosmetic or pharmacological applications.

This study found that gender-affirming hormone therapy in transgender men increased acne and male pattern hair loss, while in transgender women, it led to melasma and female pattern hair loss.

In this South Korean retrospective study, dutasteride improved hair growth more effectively than finasteride in men with androgenic alopecia, and had a similar or possibly lower rate of adverse events, suggesting it as a viable treatment option.

This study suggests that type I 5-alpha reductase may also play a role in hair growth, with dutasteride potentially being more potent than finasteride in modulating key hair growth gene expressions.

In this study, CD4+ non-haematopoietic, skin-resident stem cell-like populations were identified in both murine and human epidermis, suggesting they may serve as potential basal cell carcinoma precursors.

In this study, the researchers reported that granulosa cells from women with PCOS had reduced DNA methylation, particularly in first introns, affecting genes involved in insulin resistance, fat cell differentiation, and steroid metabolism.

This study found that Ift20 is essential for hair follicle stem cell identity and hair regrowth, and it regulates keratinocyte migration during wound healing through focal adhesion integrin recycling, independently of ciliogenesis.

This study reports that a novel gain-of-function mutation in TMEM173, combined with polymorphisms in TMEM173 and IFIH1, results in a distinct clinical phenotype with features of SAVI, including alopecia and photosensitivity.

In this study, low dose finasteride or dutasteride treatment was found to reduce prostate specific antigen levels in men with androgenetic alopecia, though levels sometimes remained stable or increased in those with low baseline PSA.

This chapter reviews low-level light therapy for hair growth and loss prevention but reports no new clinical results, providing an overview of mechanisms, treatments, and future perspectives.

This study found that using dissolving micro-needles with minoxidil promoted more hair growth in an animal model compared to minoxidil treatment alone or no treatment.

This article discusses the potential of acupuncture as a complementary or alternative therapy for PCOS, highlighting experimental evidence of its positive effects on reproductive and metabolic function, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, adenosine lotion significantly increased the proportion of thick hair among women with hair loss compared to placebo, showing potential as a safe and effective treatment without observed side effects.

This study suggests that D2O increases hair length in nude mice by extending the hair cycle duration, particularly the hair-existing phase, which is associated with increased mast cell density.

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.

This study found that incorporating CTA2-BADG, a modified hair-rebonding compound, into damaged hair significantly improved surface morphology and tensile strength by using charge-conversion chemistry to enhance penetration into the hair shaft.

This study developed a spectrophotometric method to determine minoxidil in pharmaceuticals, creating a highly sensitive, simple, and cost-effective approach using a synthesized charge transfer complex with a notable absorption peak at 505 nm.

This study observed that blepharoptosis surgery resulted in brow lowering at various points on the eyebrow, with the most significant change at the medial canthus. The researchers reported that preoperative brow position was the main predictor of brow height descent after surgery.

In this study, researchers performed a genome-wide characterization of the Wnt gene family in domestic donkeys, identifying 19 genes and highlighting their evolutionary conservation among mammals, along with tissue-specific expression patterns potentially linked to reproductive regulation and tissue homeostasis.

This study observed that among individuals with scalp seborrhoea, the scalp showed higher sebum levels, lower hydration, and compromised barrier function compared to other areas, and that a single shampoo application containing piroctone olamine significantly reduced sebum and oxidative stress markers.

In this study, researchers developed a mucoadhesive hydrogel ovule containing retinyl palmitate and curcumin for intravaginal use, showing controlled drug release, selectivity against cancerous HeLa cells, and non-toxicity to healthy cells, which may offer a potential treatment for cervical cancer.

This study found that IBA-1-immunopositive macrophages in rat skin during wound healing show varied morphometric characteristics and peak in numbers at 2, 6, and 15 days post-injury.

This study reviews both traditional and innovative therapies for alopecia areata, focusing on the potential benefits and challenges of newer targeted treatments while introducing GRASS-UK/GRASS-International as networks aimed at assessing the long-term safety and effectiveness of these therapies worldwide.

This study found that a significant portion of the Beyond-COVID cohort reported persistent symptoms, with Omicron variants showing lower rates and severity of symptoms compared to other variants.

This study observed that following hair transplantation, patients exhibited prominent perifollicular erythema and scaling one month after surgery, whereas by six months, accentuated follicular ostia and varying hair shaft abnormalities were consistently noted.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata receiving combined therapy showed a significant reduction in proinflammatory cytokines and circulating immune complexes, along with increased IL-10 levels and phagocytic activity, suggesting an immunomodulatory effect that reduces inflammation and restores immune balance.

This study suggests that hair cortisol concentration may not reliably indicate psychological distress or differentiate clinical from non-clinical populations, as observed in a female PhD student over nine years.

This paper argues that androgenetic alopecia in transgender and gender-diverse individuals is clinically significant, suggesting individualized and gender-affirming treatment approaches, with oral minoxidil as a key therapy.
