Human hair's ability to get wet is complex and can change with treatments, damage, and environment.

This document studied minoxidil in healthy volunteers. Minoxidil is quickly absorbed and eliminated from the body.

This study identifies substance P, TNFα, and IFNγ as novel regulators of prolactin and its receptor expression in human skin, suggesting intracutaneous prolactin is not controlled by dopamine.

This study found that MENT is 10 times more potent than testosterone in suppressing gonadotropins and contributing to anabolism in monkeys, with a potentially wider therapeutic index for human androgen replacement and male contraception.

This paper explores the relationship between the dermal extracellular matrix and cutaneous malignant melanoma, suggesting that ECM involvement may play a key role in the cancer's growth, invasiveness, and initial metastasis.

This review discusses the bidirectional interactions between human mast cells and CD8 T cells in the skin, particularly in the context of disorders like psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and vitiligo, and reports no new findings.

In this consensus statement, the Task Force of the Association of Cutaneous Surgeons of India found that over 90% of their experts agreed on the evidence strength, recommendation levels, and safety of six emerging dermatology treatments, providing guidelines for their clinical use.

In this study, researchers reported that hair follicle stem cells maintain quiescence through a PIEZO1-dependent mechanism that senses mechanical forces and translates them into localized calcium influx, involving a transcriptional network that regulates cell adhesion and cytoskeleton-related genes.

This study found that laboratory testing practices for alopecia areata vary among international hair experts, with the majority routinely conducting thyroid function and complete blood count tests, yet exhibiting diverse approaches toward testing for other conditions or before prescribing systemic therapy.

This study highlights promising advancements in non-invasive techniques for treating hair-related conditions, emphasizing the importance of customizing treatments based on individual needs.

This study found that a hair tonic containing 1% teak leaf extract significantly increased hair growth and user satisfaction in men with androgenic alopecia after 24 weeks, without causing adverse effects, and was comparable to the standard treatment, minoxidil.

In this study, researchers observed that heat stress significantly affected hair and skin traits in two indigenous goat breeds, with Kodi Aadu goats demonstrating greater thermal resilience compared to Kanni Aadu goats, potentially due to differences in gene expression and methylation.

This review explores the potential health benefits of food bioactive compounds, specifically polyphenols, as preventive agents against non-communicable diseases like cancer and cardiovascular disorders, while also addressing challenges like bioavailability and industrial applications.

In this study, high-dose dutasteride significantly reduced several core symptoms of PMDD compared to placebo, supporting the role of neurosteroids in this condition.

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 is the first to describe a mixed pattern of essential syphilitic alopecia using trichoscopy, identifying features like tapered bended hairs and perifollicular hyperkeratosis in a patient without secondary syphilis symptoms.

This review highlights advancements in nanoemulgel platforms for topical and transdermal drug delivery, noting their improved safety and efficacy over conventional treatments in in vitro and in vivo studies, specifically for conditions like skin diseases and inflammatory issues.

This review discusses the comparative efficacy of dutasteride and finasteride for benign prostatic hyperplasia, reporting that while symptom improvements are similar, dutasteride may reduce prostate surgery risk and acute urinary retention more effectively.

This study identifies a likely pathogenic homozygous missense variant in the AEBP1 gene in a patient with symptoms of classical Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, suggesting new perspectives for EDS classification and research.

This study found that minoxidil stimulates the Kir6.2/SUR2 potassium channel, leading to tumor growth arrest in an ovarian cancer xenograft model by disrupting mitochondrial function and inducing cell death.

This review found that finasteride monotherapy for managing LUTS/BPH significantly reduced prostate volume and improved symptoms, with sexual dysfunctions reported as notable side effects compared to placebo, but emphasizes the need for more comprehensive studies.

This review discusses the use of microneedling for androgenetic alopecia and finds it promising for enhancing hair density and thickness, especially when combined with other treatments, but notes no standardized protocol exists yet.

This study suggests that the gene rs27647 polymorphism may play a role in the pathogenesis of severe acne vulgaris in post-adolescent male patients.

This study suggests a relationship between insulin resistance and androgenetic alopecia in women, independent of hyperandrogenemia.

This study found that dutasteride may reduce the likelihood of hospitalization for BPH-related surgery and newly detected prostate cancer, compared to finasteride, and suggests a budgetary benefit.

This study reported that in a mouse model, Negative Pressure Wound Therapy promotes wound healing by modulating inflammatory responses and increasing dickkopf-related protein 1, which encourages the differentiation of Hair Follicle Stem Cells into epidermal cells.

This retrospective study in pediatric patients with Sjögren's syndrome found consistent indications of tear film instability and identified systemic features like arthralgia, Raynaud's phenomenon, and frequent autoantibody positivity, underscoring the value of integrating clinical and ophthalmological assessments for early diagnosis.

In this study, dermoscopic examination of COVID-19 patients revealed significant microvascular changes in the proximal nailfold, such as avascular areas and disorganized capillary architecture, compared to healthy controls, with some regression of these changes observed over time.

This study reports the synthesis of a hectorite/phenanthroline nanomaterial which acts as a potential fluorescent sensor for detecting Zn ions in water, offering a solution to the low solubility issue of traditional metal ion-detecting molecules.
