In this study, methanol extract of Cuscuta reflexa leaves significantly reduced blood glucose and improved insulin and liver function in alloxan-induced diabetic rats, indicating potential as an antidiabetic and organ-protective agent.

In this study using a porcine skin model, the researchers reported that smaller curcumin nanocrystals in xanthan gum gel showed higher passive skin penetration, while larger particles achieved deeper follicular accumulation.

This study reported that a new sulfur paste formulation with added plant extract and propolis effectively treated scabies in rabbits by promoting rapid tissue regeneration, hair growth, and eliminating secondary infections, offering a more affordable and less irritating alternative to commercial treatments.

This study found that bulge keratinocytes in mice develop resistance to glucocorticoid treatment more slowly than interfollicular keratinocytes and do not significantly aid in repairing glucocorticoid-induced skin atrophy within five days.

This study found that the presence of premature desquamation of the inner root sheath in noninflamed hair follicles is a relatively specific marker for diagnosing central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia.

This study found that a cimetidine 10% cream with sodium lauryl sulphate significantly increased drug diffusion through mouse skin and showed promise in treating warts in a preliminary clinical trial.

This case study in a renal transplant patient observed that eruptive KA-type SCCs exhibited aggressive behavior and genetic expression changes following intralesional chemotherapy, indicating potential caution against routine use of such treatments in similar cases.

This study observed that mice with a Cx43 mutation exhibited slower and asynchronous hair regrowth with severe cuticle weathering, mimicking aspects of hair phenotype in some ODDD patients.

This study using scRNA-seq on 96 skin biopsies from 51 healthy individuals revealed distinct cell signaling pathways in different skin sites, including unique pathways in facial and palmoplantar skin, which may explain their varying susceptibilities to skin disorders.

This review discusses central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in adult women of African descent and reports no clinical results; the authors highlight traditional treatments and their impact on quality of life.

This study found that among ten Curcuma aeruginosa accessions, the MD accession showed the highest anticancer activity against MCF-7 cells, suggesting its potential for pharmaceutical development.

CD10 helps distinguish between basal cell carcinoma and benign hair follicle tumors.

In this study, researchers investigated GAGs from the marine invertebrate Microcosmus exasperatus, finding that its polysaccharides possess antitumoral properties without affecting anticoagulant activity. The unique composition shows potential for cancer treatment when combined with existing therapies in future studies.

This study established a novel in vivo "whisker follicle microinjection assay" using mouse whiskers to evaluate hair growth and pigmentation effects of various chemicals and proteins, identifying minoxidil, ruxolitinib, and RSPO1 as growth promoters, while deoxyarbutin inhibited pigmentation and Nbl1 emerged as a growth inhibitor.

In this study, researchers found that substance P and calcitonin-gene-related peptide have distinct roles in the regulation of hair growth in mice, suggesting potential therapeutic targets for hair growth manipulation.

This study found that scoparone increased the expression of certain pluripotency-related proteins in dermal papilla cells, suggesting a potential new mechanism for enhancing hair growth.

In this study, researchers developed an antioxidant hair tonic using Dipteryx odorata (cumaru) extract, aimed at treating scalp psoriasis, which could potentially improve quality of life for patients due to its natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

This study observed that hair follicle cuticular cells undergoing keratinization were significantly thicker than those in a normal hair shaft, due to incomplete loss of cytosol.

In this study, cystaselenonine treatment in mice resulted in hair loss limited to older growing hairs and delayed regrowth, while also causing temporary weight loss.

This study identified that the biosynthetic pathways for coumestans in Eclipta prostrata are derived from acetate and shikimate pathways, while phenylpropanoid biosynthesis is exclusively from the shikimate pathway.

This study found that extracts from heterotropic cultures of Scenedesmus deserticola JD052 enhanced hair-inductive properties in human dermal papilla cells more effectively than photoautotrophic extracts, likely through activation of AKT/β-catenin signaling, despite similar loliolide content.

This study found that targeting the molecule Midkine may reduce pain and itching in keloid patients by inhibiting specific Schwann cell activities contributing to these symptoms.

This study found that mitochondrial dysfunction due to Crif1 deficiency in hair follicle stem cells significantly slows the hair growth cycle in adult mice but does not impact the maintenance of HFSC populations.

This study found that the methanolic heartwood extract of Avicennia marina significantly inhibits 5α-reductase type 1, reducing 5α-DHT production by 52% in a cell-based assay with human hair dermal papilla cells.

This study found that a combination of 5% hexane extract of Curcuma aeruginosa and 5% minoxidil slowed hair loss and increased hair growth in men with androgenetic alopecia.

This study reported that a curcumin-zinc microneedle patch improved hair regrowth and wound healing in animal models, suggesting potential as a versatile treatment for hair loss.

This study found that a single ablative fractional laser treatment significantly reduced hedgehog pathway gene expression in microscopic murine basal cell carcinomas, nearly matching the effects of repeated topical vismodegib applications.

This study used in-lab hair samples to show that cut hairs found at a crime scene and on a suspect can be matched to confirm they were from the same individual.

This review examines various treatments for dissecting cellulitis, noting isotretinoin may offer the best chance for remission despite limited long-term data and calls for more clinical studies.
