This study suggests that increased amounts of less stable disulfide conformers in hair shafts may be linked to the brittleness observed in trichothiodystrophy.

This study analyzed the geometric and electronic properties of baicalin conformers, finding that BCLa2TT and BCLa1TT conformers exhibit high stability in aqueous solutions and are favorable for interactions with positively charged species.

This case report describes a 45-year-old male with atrial fibrillation who developed acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis after starting metformin for prediabetes, highlighting a rare dermatologic reaction.

This study found that waving virgin human hair with thioglycerol at pH 9.0 using ammonia solution caused less damage than using thioglycolic acid, while maintaining good waving efficiency.

This study reported that in degenerative alopecia, Zn²⁺/Cu²⁺-dependent proteases are downregulated and destabilized, and a specially developed microneedle patch reactivated these enzymes, reduced senescence, and enhanced hair regeneration in an animal model.

In this review, the authors examined guidelines and literature on the non-operative treatment of gender dysphoria, highlighting the importance of personalized, multidisciplinary care, and noting that such treatment is generally safe and effective according to WPATH and Endocrine Society recommendations.

A specific hair diffraction pattern may indicate breast cancer if tested with the correct method.

This study developed methods for detecting carboxy-finasteride in urine for doping control, demonstrating detection up to 49 hours post-administration with high precision and accuracy.

This study found that iodine deficiency, iodine excess, or the presence of antithyroid substances affected growth and behavior in Wistar rats, leading to various symptoms such as lethargy and alopecia.

This research identified 18 significant SNPs and several candidate genes associated with udder conformation traits in Holstein cattle, providing insights into their genetic architecture.

This study identified genetic variations that could serve as candidate markers for improving body conformation traits in Kazakh fat-tailed coarse-wool sheep through marker-assisted selection.

The researchers reported that yak hair fibers undergo macromolecular conformational changes and partial slippage of macromolecules during stretching, confirming this as the main stretching mechanism when the stretching ratio is large.

This article outlines best practices from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health's standards to guide health care professionals in providing comprehensive care for transgender individuals, addressing mental health, endocrinology, and surgery.

This review discusses attempts to confirm low-dose effects in rodent endocrine studies and reports no findings; variability in control groups hinders demonstrating weak effects.

The document concludes that individualized Facial Feminization Surgery plans and comprehensive care are crucial for successful outcomes.

The researchers observed that in cases of alopecia areata with atypical features, histopathological confirmation may be necessary, as trichoscopic clues like loss of follicle ostia and vellus hairs were common, while typical features such as exclamation mark hairs were not always present.

This study reports the development of a novel protocol to purify human TRPV3 ion channels, revealing functional properties and differences in ligand interactions, enabling further structural and functional research.

In this case report, a 45-year-old male developed recurrent, painful oral ulcers after starting finasteride for hair loss, with symptoms resolving after stopping the drug and returning upon rechallenge, suggesting a probable causal link.

This study assessed outcomes and complications of upper-face feminization surgery among 20 transgender patients, highlighting that insufficient browbone reduction was a common issue in prior surgeries, and emphasizing meticulous planning to prevent revisions and dissatisfaction.

In this study, researchers used cryo-electron microscopy to reveal how the natural compound osthole inhibits TRPV3 channels by binding to specific sites, changing the channel's conformation.

This study found that the polymorphic forms I, II, and III of finasteride can be prepared purely, with form III being identical to what was previously referred to as form X.

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

In this study, hair samples from breast cancer patients showed increased β-sheet structures and lipid content, with spectral markers successfully identifying cancer in a blind test but also producing false positives.

This research reports that the polyG fragment within the Hoxc13 protein alters its gene regulatory functions, which could have influenced mammalian hair evolution by affecting pathways related to hair follicle development.

This review outlines the mechanisms, clinical features, and management strategies for alopecia areata and presents no new experimental findings.

This study reviewed the current state of intralesional therapy for keratoacanthoma, finding that while methotrexate, 5-fluorouracil, and interferon alpha are common agents, guidelines are still needed, and histopathological confirmation is advised to prevent misdiagnosis with squamous cell carcinoma.

This article reviews prominent variants of scalp hair folliculitis and their differential diagnosis, but reports no new clinical findings.

This source suggests that migraine prevalence increases in transgender women using oestrogen and decreases in transgender men using testosterone, with high oral oestrogen doses in transgender women potentially linked to aura risk.

This report observed a case of pilomatrixoma appearing at the COVID-19 vaccination site of a 65-year-old man, aligning with previous findings that suggest a potential association between vaccination sites and this benign tumor.

GLP-1 therapies can cause hair loss, but hair often regrows after stopping or reducing the drug.
