This systematic review suggests that platelet-rich plasma may improve hair density, follicle survival, and hair growth when used with hair transplantation, though varied methods and lack of standardized evaluation limit the findings.

This review identified significant effects of photobiomodulation therapy on pain reduction in burning mouth syndrome, disability in knee osteoarthritis, and fatigue in fibromyalgia, but noted that most outcomes had low-to-moderate certainty of evidence, indicating a need for further high-quality trials.

The researchers reported that a combined oral minoxidil-finasteride regimen significantly improved hair density in men with androgenetic alopecia over 12 months, although further confirmation in different trials is suggested.

The study concluded that dutasteride 0.5 mg daily for 24 weeks was the most effective monotherapy for increasing hair density in men with androgenetic alopecia, compared to other interventions.

This study concluded that fractional laser therapy, alone or combined with minoxidil or cortisol, effectively treated alopecia areata, showing better outcomes than the drugs alone, without increasing adverse effects, though effectiveness did not significantly differ from similar physical treatments.

This review discusses the formation and goals of the Pediatric Dermatology Research Alliance (PeDRA) but reports no new clinical results; it emphasizes collaborative research to advance treatment options for pediatric skin disorders.

This study found that human induced pluripotent stem cells differentiated precisely to express certain markers during a specific window could enable successful hair follicle generation when transplanted.

In this study, analysis of FDA adverse event reports revealed that topical finasteride was associated with fewer post-finasteride syndrome-like adverse events than oral finasteride, but many reports lack critical data, suggesting caution in attributing causality.

In this case study, researchers documented chronic dermatitis and ulcerative lesions in a 70-year-old Syrian man following chlorine gas exposure during the conflict, highlighting the need for healthcare planning and registries to manage long-term effects in affected populations.

In this study, researchers developed a mouse model of non-healing wounds associated with streptozotocin-induced diabetes and found that it significantly delayed regenerative processes compared to healthy controls, suggesting its relevance for preclinical testing of wound regeneration drugs.

This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of a higher dose (100-mg) of ritlecitinib for treating severe alopecia areata, comparing it to external and synthetic placebo control groups.

In this study, researchers evaluated the efficacy of a collagen booster used alongside CO2 fractional laser treatment for skin aging, finding that the combination treatment affected the vascularization and healing process of the skin on a healthy adult's forearm.

This review identifies evidence of sexual adverse effects, particularly linked to finasteride, in men using systemic dermatologic medications but reports no new clinical findings.

This study concluded that 5α-reductase inhibitors were associated with improved survival in men with bladder cancer, while α-blockers showed no effect.

This study found no significant association between the degree of male-pattern baldness and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels in healthy middle-aged and older men.

This study found that metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease is linked to a higher risk of androgenetic alopecia, especially in women and individuals with certain lifestyle patterns.

This study using a humanized mouse model of androgenetic alopecia suggests that platelet-rich plasma may promote hair regrowth and improve hair characteristics in vivo.

This study found that minoxidil did not significantly increase hair shaft elongation in ex vivo human hair follicle culture, questioning the suitability of this method for studying its hair-growth-promoting effects.

This review found that while topical minoxidil is effective for treating female pattern hair loss, finasteride showed no more effectiveness than placebo, and low-level laser therapy increased hair count but with inconsistent results.

This review discusses current and emerging medical therapies for androgenetic alopecia but reports no new clinical findings, emphasizing the importance of stabilizing the condition as a complement to surgical hair restoration.

This study found that taking a daily oral dose of 50mg DHEA for one year had no significant impact on blood lipids, insulin sensitivity, or the endometrium in postmenopausal women with low libido.

In this study, low-dose naltrexone significantly reduced erythema in patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia and lichen planopilaris after one year, but no significant improvements were seen in other symptoms.

This study developed and evaluated topical formulations containing 5% minoxidil and 1% rosemary essential oil for androgenetic alopecia treatment, finding them physically and chemically suitable, but noted that further stability tests and clinical trials are needed to confirm therapeutic efficacy and safety.

In this study, researchers identified six novel prognostic biomarkers for bladder cancer and developed a predictive model that effectively stratifies patients into high-risk and low-risk groups based on immune cell infiltration differences and gene expression.

This study investigated how vitamin A deficiency, certain diseases, and pregnancy affect cattle coat hair structure, finding notable keratin fibril interference under vitamin A deficiency and structural modifications in chronic renal failure, while pregnant cows exhibited superior hair tensile strength compared to non-pregnant ones.

Laser treatment is safe and can effectively treat toenail fungus, especially when combined with other treatments if no improvement is seen after about a year.

The treatments for fungal nail infection, hair loss in men, benign nail tumor, and chemotherapy-associated nail bed inflammation are effective and safe.

Povidone-iodine nail solution effectively treats nail infections caused by chemotherapy.

This study successfully developed a reproducible mouse model demonstrating fetal scarless wound healing, which may provide insights for minimizing scarring in adults.

This review synthesizes knowledge on Prostaglandin E2's role in platelet biology and suggests that targeting PGE2 pathways could lead to personalized antiplatelet therapy without affecting hemostasis, but it presents no new results.
