This case report describes a 7-year-old girl who developed radiation-induced alopecia after a neurointerventional procedure, with dermoscopy revealing specific hair and scalp patterns that helped diagnose this rare complication. The findings highlight the importance of dermoscopy in distinguishing RIA from other alopecic disorders in children.

This study investigated the molecular mechanisms behind cashmere goat coat types by analyzing gene expression during hair follicle development stages, identifying regulatory pathways involved in metabolism, immune response, and the quiescent state of follicles, potentially aiding in genetic selection for improved cashmere production.

In this study, researchers used a mouse model to identify an adipocyte-to-fibroblast conversion pathway that promotes mast-cell recruitment and dermal fibrosis in atopic dermatitis, suggesting a potential therapeutic approach to block this process and reduce inflammation and fibrosis.

In this study of four Chinese goat breeds, black goats exhibited significantly higher melanin content, while Inner Mongolian cashmere goats had longer fiber lengths. These findings highlight genetic variations in coat color and fiber length, informing future breeding programs.

This study investigated the effects of ultrasound-assisted extraction on sunflower seed oil mixed with defective green coffee grains, finding that higher coffee grain ratios decreased oil yield but increased phenolic content and antioxidant activity, with potential applications for wound treatment.

In this laboratory study on rabbits, the researchers observed that both FET and FHE fractions improved hair length and weight, but minoxidil still led to better results, highlighting the comparative effects of different treatments on hair growth over 28 days.

In this case study, a 3-year-old with tinea capitis achieved complete resolution following treatment, highlighting hair salons as potential indirect transmission sites for infection and emphasizing trichoscopy's diagnostic value when traditional signs like Wood’s lamp fluorescence are missing.

This review synthesizes existing research on eyelid pilomatrixomas, highlighting the challenges in diagnosis and the importance of understanding their presentation and management strategies.

This study utilized polarized light microscopy to examine hair shafts in ten children with rare genetic disorders, such as Netherton syndrome and ectodermal dysplasia, providing valuable diagnostic insights into hair thickness, composition, and structural irregularities associated with these conditions.

This case report describes a 55-year-old woman with alopecia areata whose condition improved rapidly and did not recur after the surgical resection of a thymoma, suggesting a potential immunological link between alopecia areata and thymoma that warrants further investigation.

In this study, researchers identified an elite germplasm of the medicinal plant Eclipta alba, known for its liver disease benefits, with higher growth, yield, and wedelolactone content, suitable for large-scale cultivation to reduce strain on wild populations.

This case study reports a young male with alopecia universalis experienced significant hair whitening following baricitinib treatment, highlighting the need for further research on JAK inhibitors' impact on hair pigmentation and their underlying mechanisms.

This study found that intradermal bleomycin injections induced dermal fibrosis in C57BL/6 mice, evidenced by hair follicle obliteration and dermal thickening, though no significant trends in gene expression were observed, indicating the need for further research to understand the link between fibrosis and dyschromia.

In this study, researchers applied Strat-M® membrane to assess the in vitro transdermal properties of collagen peptides, finding a high correlation with results from mouse skin and suggesting that Strat-M® can effectively replace excised mouse skin in transdermal experiments.

This study introduces a new method to isolate stem cells from the hair follicle outer root sheath of equine skin, demonstrating that these cells, named eMSCORS, proliferate efficiently and can differentiate similarly to adipose tissue-derived MSCs, offering a promising alternative for equine veterinary applications.

This case report shares that a 25-year-old man with cerebral arteriovenous malformation was successfully treated with stereotactic radiosurgery in Bangladesh, achieving complete obliteration of the AVM without significant clinical symptoms.

This case series reports successful treatment of refractory folliculitis decalvans using surgical excision with second-intention healing and guarded high-tension suturing, resulting in long-term remission without recurrence over a 10–24 month follow-up period.

This case report describes a 23-year-old African-American woman who suffered a small bowel obstruction after ingesting hair from a hair weave, highlighting a specific risk associated with trichophagia in Black hair care practices.

In this study of children with nephrotic syndrome treated with cyclophosphamide, 59.4% achieved remission, and 40.6% experienced side effects including nausea, vomiting, and hair loss.

This study found that in mice, competition for hair follicles guides the organization of follicle-innervating LTMR neurons during early development, with different neuronal subtypes showing varying adaptive responses to increased neuron populations.

This study found that BEO inhibited cell proliferation and inflammatory mediator release in a human keratinocyte acne model and reduced acne lesion severity in a rabbit model, suggesting its potential as a natural alternative to conventional acne treatments.

In this study, researchers evaluated emulsions made with natural plant extracts and oils on guinea pigs, finding that a specific hydrophilic/lipophilic balance and globule size led to a stable emulsion and stimulated hair growth.

This study suggests that a topical emulsion containing Camellia sinensis and Allium cepa extracts may show promise for treating alopecia areata in Wistar rats.

This study found that terpene compound concentrations in coniferous tree leaves were generally highest in spring and summer, suggesting these seasons are most effective for extracting essential oils.

This study presents an economical and user-friendly training module using common materials and goat skin to teach the steps of the strip method for hair follicle harvesting and implantation.

This review discusses the use of cultured hair follicles for studying hair growth regulation and reports the challenge of modeling the entire hair cycle in vitro.

This review discusses the surgical methods of hair restoration, highlighting the density benefits of scalp reduction and rotation, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that using topical minoxidil before and after facelift surgery may help prevent temporal hair loss without increasing other complication risks.

This article describes the extraction and characterization method for wedelolactone from Eclipta alba but presents no new clinical results.
