This case report suggests that Minoxidil may be a potential cause of central serous chorioretinopathy in a 39-year-old cardiologist using it for androgenic alopecia.

This study identified a mutation in the CST6 gene linked to a rare syndrome with symptoms affecting hair and skin, revealing cystatin M/E's role in maintaining epidermal homeostasis and hair follicle development.

This review discusses the calcineurin/NFAT pathway's role in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, noting its involvement in tumor development, skin cell behavior, and the tumor microenvironment; it reports no new results.

This review discusses the hedgehog signaling pathway's role in cutaneous tumors and hematological disorders, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target, but reports no new clinical findings.

The researchers reported that in nonmelanoma skin cancers, the expression of osteopontin splice variants is significantly higher compared to normal skin, with OPN-a elevated in basal cell carcinoma more than OPN-c.

This study found that cyclosporine A can alter lipid bilayer properties and does so at a slower rate, suggesting conformational shifts may facilitate its membrane crossing.

Acne is not a key diagnostic feature for PCOS, postadolescent men with acne may have insulin resistance, melanoma patients often have few moles, tumor size in CSCC indicates higher risk of serious outcomes, and hidradenitis suppurativa is linked to higher risk of heart problems and death.

This study evaluated the accuracy of the HairCheck device, a cross-section trichometer, and concluded that it effectively measures changes in hair diameter and density for assessing alopecia progression and treatment response.

This study found that certain polymorphisms in EGF and EGFR genes may increase susceptibility to alopecia areata in the Korean population, and these genetic variations could be associated with specific symptoms such as nail involvement and body hair loss.

In this rat study, Coriaria sinica Maxim extract significantly improved burn wound healing by enhancing epithelial growth and promoting hair regrowth, possibly through early-stage protein and mRNA expression changes.

Minoxidil use was linked to a rare eye condition that improved after stopping the treatment.

This research identified fluphenazine as a novel agent that induced hair growth in mice, with iloprost further enhancing this effect, through gene expression analysis and connectivity mapping.

This study demonstrated that transcutaneous vaccination via cyanoacrylate skin surface stripping effectively induced both CD4 and CD8 T cell responses in humans, offering a promising alternative to intramuscular injection.

This review discusses cyclosporine A's mechanisms of action and side effects compared to tacrolimus in renal transplantation, but it reports no new experimental results; the authors highlight implications for cardiovascular risk management.

This study found that cyclosporin A stimulated hair growth in mouse vibrissae follicles by promoting cell proliferation, reducing apoptosis, and altering the expression of certain growth factor mRNAs.

Cyclosporin A and FK506 can start new hair growth in mice, but ascomycin and rapamycin cannot.

In this study, melatonin-loaded Pickering emulsions stabilized by chitosan-dextran sulphate nanoparticles and enhanced with lecithin showed improved photostability, antioxidant activity, and follicular delivery in androgenic alopecia-affected rats, potentially rivaling commercial minoxidil for hair loss treatment.

In this study, BLIMP1 was found to function in terminally differentiated epidermal cells to maintain homeostasis, rather than defining a sebocyte progenitor population.

The researchers found that plant extracts from Papaver rhoeas L., Clitoria ternatea L., and Carthamus tinctorius L. are effective natural cosmetic dyes, offering intense and stable colors without cytotoxicity.

In this study, researchers identified a three-step process underlying age-related curved hair from cyclical extension: surface lipid transfer, specific disulfide bond cleavage, and unraveling of α-helices into β-structures, which may inform care strategies to manage hair curvature.

This review highlights that bacteriophage therapy shows promise for acne treatment by specifically targeting Cutibacterium acnes, but larger clinical trials and improved regulatory frameworks are needed for further development.

This review explains that dysregulated sebum secretion and composition contribute to acne and impaired skin barriers while highlighting factors like diet and hormones affecting sebaceous activity, and identifies novel molecular targets and model systems for future therapeutic developments.

This case report describes a 62-year-old female patient with onycholysis whose condition recurred despite taking Coix seed extract, although both initial and recurrent symptoms resolved with its use, suggesting limited efficacy and warranting further study.

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 subcutaneous administration of conditioned medium from adipose-derived stem cells promoted hair growth in mice, and hypoxia enhanced this effect by altering growth factor secretion.

This review discusses recurrent implantation failure (RIF) in IVF, noting the lack of standard definitions or treatment protocols, and emphasizes the need for individualized treatment and further research.

This study found that overexpressing PLC5 in Arabidopsis thaliana reduced root growth but improved drought tolerance, and suggests PIP2 is crucial for root hair growth.

This meta-analysis confirmed associations between some androgenic and metabolic parameters in women with PCOS, suggesting that these measurements might help predict metabolic risk in this population.

This review discusses the topical use of systemic drugs for cutaneous disorders and reports a lack of strong evidence from randomized controlled trials, highlighting the need for larger comparative effectiveness studies.

This study found that non-thermal plasma treatment increased epidermal thickness and dermal collagen density in mouse skin tissue without causing damage, potentially promoting growth factors and tissue remodeling.
