,
August 2000 in “Journal of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology” This review discusses perceptions and side effects of depot medroxyprogesterone acetate and emphasizes the importance of educating teens to enhance compliance; it reports no new clinical findings.
82 citations

March 2012 in “Development” This study found that deleting the miRNA processing enzymes Drosha and Dicer from mouse skin epithelial cells disrupted normal hair follicle development and maintenance, leading to follicular degradation and stem cell loss during the growth phase.
10 citations
,
January 2013 in “Stem Cells and Development” This study suggests that dermal stem/progenitor cells can be enriched by intracellular granularity and display high proliferation and differentiation potential in vitro, distinguishing them from other fibroblasts and progenitors.
This study found that in live mouse epidermal stem cells, chromatin compaction is heterogenous and reflects differentiation status, with transcriptional changes largely preceding chromatin rearrangements during differentiation.
March 2023 in “The primary care companion for CNS disorders” Dengue fever can cause hair loss that may lead to serious psychological issues like Body Dysmorphic Disorder in young women.
5 citations
,
May 2019 in “Anais Brasileiros de Dermatologia” This article discusses the connection between prenatal androgen exposure, marked by the second-to-fourth digit ratio, and seborrheic dermatitis, but reports no new experimental findings.
December 2025 in “Fertility and Sterility” Both LNG-IUD and systemic progestins are effective for fertility-sparing treatment, but close monitoring is needed due to recurrence risk.
