This study found that prolactin plays a direct role in regulating the timing of hair growth cycles in mice by affecting the skin, rather than through other endocrine factors.

This review discusses recent advancements in understanding hair follicles, their disorders, and potential therapeutic opportunities, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that macrophages are crucial for skin regeneration during tissue expansion, as their depletion in rats led to inhibited skin growth and reduced secretion of key growth factors.

This study observed that epidermal growth factor and fibroblast growth factor have distinct roles in sheep skin, with EGF involved in differentiation and FGF in bulb proliferation and fiber growth.

This review discusses the cardiovascular risks associated with anabolic-androgenic steroid use and reports that, despite known toxic effects, further research is needed to clarify the causality of these risks.

This article describes incisional slit grafting as an improved hair transplantation method, using smaller grafts and conserving vascular supply to enhance graft yield and achieve a more natural hairline, but reports no new research results.

This article reviews the use of the Nd:YAG laser for hair removal and reports no new research findings.

This review discusses the complications of subcutaneous contraception and emphasizes the importance of adequately counseling patients on potential side effects to aid informed decision-making; however, it reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the paracrine properties of cardiac stem cells and pericytes in regenerative medicine for ischaemic diseases and reports no new clinical results.

This review found no evidence that DHEA improves quality of life or decreases menopausal symptoms in peri- and postmenopausal women, but it may slightly enhance sexual function compared to placebo.

The authors suggest that nanoparticles, synthesized from biological sources, may enable targeted cancer therapy with fewer side effects than traditional methods.

The researchers reported that hair follicle germinative epidermal cells can form complex structures when associating with papilla cells in culture, unlike other types of epidermal cells.

This review discusses the current procedure for follicular unit hair transplantation, emphasizing its natural and reproducible results, but does not report new clinical findings.

This review summarizes that polyesters hold promise for vascular tissue engineering due to their mechanical properties and biodegradability, but optimizing their use in repairing damaged blood vessels remains challenging due to the complexity of vascular tissues.

This study found that gelatin microspheres loaded with platelet-rich plasma enhanced wound healing in rats by improving inflammatory and angiogenic responses compared to untreated wounds or PRP alone.

This study found that there is a low prevalence and wide variability in U.S. insurance coverage for ancillary gender surgeries, with specific criteria often required for favorable coverage.

This study demonstrated that bioluminescence imaging of NG2+ cells in transgenic rats allows in vivo monitoring of hair follicle cycles to study hair growth and follicle regeneration.

In this case report, eyelash transplantation with leg hair resulted in less frequent maintenance and no need for perming compared to using nape hair donor sources.

This review summarizes the ophthalmic complications of common periocular aesthetic treatments but reports no new clinical findings, emphasizing the importance of recognizing potential side effects.

This study demonstrated the feasibility of a new patient-controlled method for tissue expansion that achieved full expansion in about 3 weeks with minimal complications after mastectomy.

In this study, neonatal murine skin-derived cells transplanted using a mini-chamber method successfully produced robust and normal hair, contrasting with human scalp follicles which did not achieve follicle reconstruction.

This article reviews recent research on adult epidermal stem cells, discussing their properties and potential for reprogramming into patient-specific therapies, and emphasizes the need for further development while minimizing cancer risk.

In this study, finasteride doubled the duration of the first off-cycle in intermittent androgen deprivation therapy for mice with LNCaP tumors but did not improve overall survival.

In this animal study, the researchers found that Schisandra nigra extract may promote hair growth by extending the anagen phase and reducing TGF-beta2 expression.

Blocking adenosine A2B receptor may prevent or treat hearing loss.

This article discussed the ineffectiveness and dangers of implanting synthetic hair fibers for pattern baldness, noting they can cause severe infections, yet such clinics remain operational.

This study found that prolonged inhibition of DGAT1 in mice and dogs led to atrophy of sebaceous glands, with mice also experiencing alopecia, suggesting potential skin-related risks for humans using DGAT1 inhibitors.

In this study, combining flutamide with finasteride showed additive effects in reducing tumor and prostate growth in a mouse model predictive of androgen-sensitive prostate cancer.

Hair transplantation and micrografting, used for baldness, involve moving hair follicles from hair-rich to bald areas, requiring careful procedure and post-care for success.

This study found that calcium microcapsules exhibited better biocompatibility and cell viability than barium microcapsules for scaffolding in artificial dermal papilla, suggesting potential for developing new hair follicle structures.
