This study explored the role of Twist2 in fetal wound healing in embryonic mice, observing that its expression was vital for scarless regeneration and normal hair follicle formation; Twist2 knockdown led to visible scars and defective follicle formation.

This study found that certain tandem repeats predict darker hair color across diverse ancestry groups and can contribute to a polygenic score for hair color, independent of SNP variation.

Both photobiomodulation and low-frequency treatments effectively reduce body measurements.

This study isolated and identified three natural compounds—syringaresinol, mayuenolid, and ciwujiaton—from Leersia hexandra, a traditional liver treatment used in Huyện Tam Nông, Đồng Tháp, using advanced chromatography and spectroscopy techniques.

This article describes the Frontiers journal series, highlighting its open-access approach and tiered publishing system, but it presents no new empirical findings.

This review summarizes the chemical composition and pharmacological properties of Teak (Tectona grandis) but presents no new research findings, emphasizing its use in traditional medicine and therapeutic potentials.

This research focused on formulating finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil with cyclodextrins to enhance their solubility and skin penetration for topical use, potentially reducing scalp irritation from current alcohol-based preparations.

This source describes clascoterone, a new topical treatment for acne vulgaris that blocks androgen receptors to reduce sebaceous gland activity and inflammation, offering a lower risk of systemic side effects compared to oral treatments.

This study documented a case where Ayurvedic treatments for plaque psoriasis significantly reduced the severity of symptoms, as measured by an 84% improvement in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index score from 6.5 to 1.04.

This review discusses the role of steroid 5 alpha reductase 2 in converting testosterone to DHT and its association with conditions like benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer; it reports no new results.

This study found that faster algorithms for inferring ancestry in genomic data can better capture historical and functional insights into genome variation than traditional methods in large datasets like the UK Biobank.

This research found that keratin hydrogels derived from human hair may support cell viability and proliferation, indicating potential as 2D and 3D soft tissue culture scaffolds.

This dissertation reported that the loss of Ovol2 impairs hair follicle regeneration and wound repair in mice, highlighting its role in regulating directional migration of epithelial cells.

This study observed that cutaneous microwounds created by fractional photothermolysis heal differently from typical wounds, displaying rapid re-epithelialization and limited inflammation, which may help reduce scar formation by delaying collagen remodeling and minimizing myofibroblast activation.

In this study, researchers identified a rare form of hereditary hypotrichosis linked to mutations in the LSS gene, which affects cholesterol biosynthesis and is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner.

In this study, adding CCL2 protein to organoid cultures helped adult skin cells regain the ability to self-organize and regenerate hair follicles, suggesting potential therapeutic applications.

This study developed and validated a highly sensitive LC-MS/MS method for detecting multiple steroid hormones in urine and serum/plasma, demonstrating its potential for use in large-scale biomonitoring studies.

In this chapter, the authors provide a detailed overview of the fundamental science and operational principles of radiofrequency technologies, particularly in enhancing liposuction procedures through minimally-invasive techniques like RF-assisted lipolysis and fractional RF subdermal treatment.

This research reports that KCV and its palmitoylated derivatives show strong effectiveness in strengthening hair proteins, indicating their potential for use in advanced hair care products.

This study suggests that using combined oral contraceptives does not increase hair glucocorticoid levels, but hair treatments should be considered as a confounder in stress biomarker assessments.

In this study, poly (ɛ-caprolactone)–chitosan–poly (vinyl alcohol) nanofibrous scaffolds used on canine skin wound models were found to significantly accelerate healing rates of excision and burn wounds, without inducing immunogenic reactions.

This study evaluated novel steroids' potential as future hormonal therapies for neuroprotection in glucose disorders, but emphasized that further research is needed to optimize androgen antagonist use in the context of COVID-19 progression.

This review discusses the use of hair analysis for examining stress and reproduction hormone levels in wildlife and highlights the need for more comprehensive physiological validations across species.

This study found that mice lacking sPLA2-IIE had distinct skin abnormalities, particularly affecting hair follicles, highlighting the differing roles of sPLA2 isoforms in mouse skin.

This study explored the use of "microfollicles," a human hair follicle organoid model, as an in vitro tool for testing hair-growth substances, finding up to 75% overlap in gene expression changes with human clinical biopsy responses to minoxidil, indicating its potential for pre-clinical substance testing.

In this study, researchers found that human ovaries at different life stages biosynthesize both canonical and non-canonical steroid hormones, with fetal ovaries showing higher enzyme activity related to estradiol and testosterone conversion compared to adult tissues.

This study found that biliverdin beta and delta, metabolites of heme, play a critical role in Pseudomonas aeruginosa iron acquisition and cooperative behaviors, which are crucial for the bacterium's long-term infection in cystic fibrosis patients, suggesting potential targets for new therapies.

This study developed and validated a comprehensive method using mass spectrometry to profile sex (pro)hormones in plasma, with results showing reliable calibration and detection of 31 analytes in samples from pre- and postmenopausal women and men, while addressing potential over- or underestimations in analyte concentrations.

This study found that a quinazoline derivative, SH-340, increased skin barrier-associated factors and inhibited TSLP expression and STAT6 phosphorylation in human primary keratinocytes, suggesting potential benefits for alleviating inflammation and improving skin barrier function in atopic dermatitis.

This study developed microfluidics-based 3D microtumors to model minimal residual disease in ovarian cancer, highlighting their alignment with patient-derived MRD and response to a fatty acid oxidation inhibitor.
