This pharmacovigilance study found strong disproportionality signals suggesting an association between finasteride and Peyronie's disease-related clinical features, but the evidence does not confirm a causal link.

CaBP1 and CaBP2 are necessary for proper hearing and neurotransmission in the ear's inner hair cells.

This literature review highlights the changing epidemiology of tinea capitis due to global migration and underscores the importance of early recognition and treatment of atypical variants in immunocompetent children to minimize prolonged systemic antifungal therapy and prevent adverse events, especially regarding liver health.

In this case report, a 13-year-old girl with Pitt-Hopkins syndrome developed hair curling after starting the antiepileptic drug perampanel, which had not been previously reported as a side effect.

This review outlines the design and engineering of multifunctional hydrogels, emphasizing their evolving biomedical applications, notably in controlled drug delivery, tissue support, and disease management, and discusses their potential for clinical translation.

This review examines synthetic derivatives of curcumin for treating diabetes and cancer, reporting potential pharmacokinetic improvements and enhanced biological activity, but highlights ongoing challenges with bioavailability and stability, as well as gaps in translational research.

This article introduces a new Core Curriculum for Hair Restoration Surgery, aimed at enhancing physician competence in diagnosing and treating hair loss with a multidisciplinary approach.

This study evaluated the learning curve for using the Hair Implanter Pen, finding it to be operator dependent.

This study found that AtT-20 pituitary cells with higher cAMP-dependent kinase activity had larger calcium currents and significantly increased beta-endorphin release compared to cells with lower kinase activity.

This review suggests that multifunctional cosmetic systems, particularly HIVEN Curl Code ®, may help control frizz and maintain curl definition in highly curly hair by utilizing various conditioning and biofunctional ingredients.

This review highlights that a comprehensive approach combining pharmacological, immunomodulatory, and regenerative interventions, including phototherapy enhanced with topical treatments and JAK inhibitors, appears effective and promising in the management of vitiligo by addressing its autoimmune and melanocyte-loss aspects.

This review concluded that non-surgical hair restoration methods, such as pharmacologic and regenerative therapies, are important for delaying or supplementing surgical treatments when used properly.
