This study investigated scalp cooling in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, finding that those who reached a lower mean scalp skin temperature of 18 °C during cooling were less likely to require a wig or head covering compared to those with higher temperatures.

In this laboratory study, researchers developed and tested two in vitro models to simulate atopic dermatitis using HaCaT cells, finding that azithromycin displayed epithelial-strengthening properties in one model, potentially offering insights for future research on skin disease interventions.

This case report discusses a patient with female androgenetic alopecia and chronic telogen effluvium, emphasizing the importance of follicular unclogging to enhance treatment effectiveness, combining deep cleaning, caffeine application, physical stimulation, and lifestyle changes as an individualized, effective alternative to oral medications.

Cyclosporine starts hair growth faster, while minoxidil makes it last longer.

This study found that gene expression patterns can effectively distinguish the cashmere growth cycle stages and highlight molecular pathways, suggesting melatonin's role in regulating cashmere growth in Inner Mongolian goats.

In this retrospective case series, researchers observed that a combined treatment protocol of homoeopathy, Xogen therapy, diet, and vitamin supplementation progressively reduced hair fall and improved hair density in five male patients with androgenic alopecia.

This review explores the potential of herbal therapies and modern delivery methods for managing premature hair greying, highlighting promising plant-based treatments and emphasizing the need for clinical trials to validate their effectiveness.

This study found that exogenous ochronosis from hydroquinone use in melasma treatment has distinctive dermatoscopic features that may aid in diagnosis without needing a biopsy.

Control symptoms and use safe treatments for skin conditions like lichen planopilaris and chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus.

This article introduces teletrichoscopy as a method for diagnosing hair disorders during the COVID-19 pandemic and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that short-term treatment with ROCKi significantly increased keratinocyte stem cell proliferation without affecting their stemness, suggesting a potential safe approach for improving in vitro keratinocyte cultures for clinical applications.

This study found that maintenance treatment with diphenylcyclopropenone was associated with a lower relapse rate in alopecia areata patients, highlighting the importance of adjusting treatment intervals post-improvement.

In this critique, the authors argue that the American College of Physicians' recent guideline for migraine preventive therapy is based on a flawed analysis with low confidence levels and outdated data, failing to acknowledge newer migraine-specific therapies with stronger evidence and better tolerability.

This case series observed the diagnostic challenges of secondary syphilis, highlighting diverse presentations such as rashes and systemic symptoms that can mimic other conditions, underscoring the importance of dermatological review, serological testing, and interdisciplinary care for effective treatment and management.

Melatonin affects when and how goat hair follicle genes turn on and off during growth cycles.

This study found that the cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP-sb21 can hydroxylate cyclosporine A at multiple positions, reducing its immunosuppressive effects but retaining its hair growth-promoting side-effect, and suggests modifications to improve regioselectivity for commercial use.

This study found that scalp cooling resulted in visible hair retention in 53% of breast cancer patients undergoing Epirubicin/Cyclophosphamide and Paclitaxel treatment, with factors like hair bulb diameter, shaft diameter, and anagen rate significantly predicting outcomes.

This study found that administering melatonin for 12 weeks to women with PCOS significantly reduced hirsutism, testosterone, and inflammation markers, while enhancing antioxidant levels compared to a placebo.

In this study, the researchers found that after initial hair regrowth with ritlecitinib in patients with severe alopecia areata, it took a median of 93 days to reach clinical trial-defined scalp hair regrowth, with those responding earlier showing faster progression to desired outcomes.

This chapter reviews hormonal imbalances and related disorders, discussing nutraceuticals—such as cod liver oil, green tea, and Omega-3s—that may alleviate symptoms and improve hormonal fluxes in lieu of traditional synthetic treatments that have potential side effects.

This study introduces a hypothesis that elevated DHT at puberty may cause chronic thermal stress in specific scalp areas, potentially explaining Androgenetic Alopecia characteristics and guiding future research.

In this case report, a 25-year-old transgender woman on testosterone-blocking therapy developed generalised hypertrichosis after starting ciclosporin for severe plaque psoriasis, illustrating that ciclosporin can induce this side effect even under androgen suppression.

This case report describes a 6 1/2-year-old girl with significant height growth and early pubic hair development.

This study found that treating asymptomatic or mild COVID-19 with cepharanthine did not significantly reduce the time to a negative test result, though 60 mg/day showed a non-significant trend needing further validation.

This study discusses a hypothesis for repurposing non-cancer drugs and combining micronutrients to target cancer and cancer stem cells with fewer side effects, suggesting a potential new approach for more effective cancer therapy.

In this report, a 47-year-old woman with subclinical hypothyroidism experienced significant symptom relief and normalized TSH levels after six months of individualized homeopathic treatment with Sepia 1M, targeted to her symptom profile.

Early sunburn treatment with certain inhibitors may reduce skin cancer risk.

This study found that OPC-17116 can be reliably detected in hair, suggesting it can serve as an index of drug exposure and a time-marker in hair analysis.
