This study demonstrated that a c-Kit-CreER-driven mouse model confirms melanocyte stem cells as a genuine source of melanoma, paralleling human melanoma in heterogeneity and gene signatures.

This paper highlights the need for a comprehensive red ginseng monograph to provide standardized information on its components, certified functionality, efficacy, action mechanisms, and safety, especially given its widespread use as a health functional food in South Korea and interest in its benefits worldwide.

This review discusses the dermatologic manifestations of hyperandrogenism in women and outlines the diagnostic approach and treatment options, reporting no new clinical results.

This study found that both 2% and 3% minoxidil resulted in a significant increase in hair counts for participants with androgenetic alopecia over 12 months.

This article discusses treatments for female pattern hair loss, highlighting that oral antiandrogens and topical minoxidil can effectively arrest progression and reverse miniaturization in many patients with mild-to-moderate cases, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study concluded that a polarized-light handheld dermatoscope attached to a digital camera is a practical and useful tool for diagnosing different types of alopecia.

This review discusses recent advances in how proinflammatory cytokines affect epidermal stem cell function during skin wound healing and introduces potential therapies targeting these cells and cytokines.

This review examines the roles of macrophages and Langerhans cells in skin homeostasis and suggests that understanding these functions can aid in developing therapies for skin and hair regeneration, but it reports no new research findings.

This study found that prostaglandin metabolism enzymes are present in human hair follicles, suggesting a potential role in hair growth and differentiation, with some expression differences between men and women.

This study found that overexpressing the BMP inhibitor Noggin in transgenic mice led to a significant loss of nontylotrich hair follicles, suggesting a critical role for BMP signaling in hair follicle morphogenesis and cycling.

The p53 protein has complex, sometimes contradictory functions, including tumor suppression and promoting cell survival.

This review discusses current concepts in wound repair and suggests that these evolving paradigms might also explain regenerative processes in various organ systems, but it reports no new research findings.

This study found that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) inhibited hair shaft elongation and induced premature catagen development in cultured human hair follicles, partially through transforming growth factor β2.

In this study using an animal model, researchers found that PEGL-DOX, unlike DOX, causes Hand-Foot Syndrome due to reactive oxygen species interacting with skin tissue, leading to skin-specific inflammatory responses.

In this study, topical CUR61414 was effective in inhibiting basal cell carcinomas in mice, but no clinical activity was observed in human trials.

Minoxidil promotes hair growth by increasing cell division and DNA synthesis.

This study found that low serum ferritin and vitamin D2 levels are associated with hair loss in females with chronic telogen effluvium and female pattern hair loss, suggesting potential benefits of screening and supplementation.

This study found that dermoscopy-guided scalp biopsies provided a definitive pathological diagnosis in 95% of patients with cicatricial alopecia.

This study found that the R257X mutation in the AIRE gene is prevalent among Russian patients with autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1, particularly in those with hypoparathyroidism and chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis.

This article reviews the use of finasteride for treating male pattern hair loss, highlighting its mechanism of action in reducing DHT and noting its safety profile with some common adverse effects.

This study concluded that sebaceous glands are the main pathway for the antiandrogen RU 58841 to permeate the skin, with liposomes enhancing localization in these glands.

This study reported new crystallographic structures and polymorphs of finasteride, including several solvates with distinct X-ray diffraction patterns and thermally characterized properties.

This review discusses hormone replacement therapy for women with premature ovarian insufficiency, strongly recommending it for symptom relief and bone protection, but notes a lack of evidence on optimal types and doses.

This study analyzed changes in hair diameter and density with age in Caucasian women, highlighting variations in perception of hair amount over time.

This study reported that the prevalence of atopic dermatitis in cats was higher than previously suggested, with severe nonseasonal pruritus most common, and certain breeds were predisposed.

This article discusses the association between hypertension and polycystic ovary syndrome, highlighting the need for managing related risk factors, but reports no new clinical results.

This paper discusses the pathogenesis of cardiovascular lesions in dogs associated with minoxidil, noting that lesions were not prevented by adrenergic blockade or neural activity suppression, and highlights the differences in injury progression between coronary arteries and the right atrium.

This review discusses potential mechanisms contributing to higher COVID-19 mortality among men, particularly the roles of smoking, genetic factors, and reproductive hormones, without presenting new clinical findings.

This narrative review discusses the use of cyclosporin for various skin diseases in small animals and notes minimal side effects at therapeutic doses, but reports no original clinical findings.

This study found that dual inhibition of BACE1 and BACE2 in mice affects melanosome maturation and causes dose-dependent hair depigmentation without altering retinal morphology.
