This case report highlights a woman who developed new-onset alopecia areata after starting adalimumab for psoriatic arthritis, challenging the assumed role of TNF-alpha in the condition's pathogenesis.

This study identified the AtPRPL1 gene in Arabidopsis thaliana as being involved in cell elongation processes, despite unclear changes in cell wall composition from its altered expression.

This study found that topical valproic acid significantly increased hair count in male patients with moderate androgenetic alopecia compared to placebo over 24 weeks.

This study suggests that the action of minoxidil in stimulating hair growth likely occurs at the follicular dermal papilla, though it does not induce new follicle formation.

The study concluded that poly(propylene carbonate maleate) microspheres effectively encapsulated finasteride, achieving a biphasic release with prolonged drug release over 5-6 weeks in vitro.

This study found that decision-making effects related to time of day and chronotype were only significant when using RNA-based chronotype measurements, indicating molecular clock differences may influence these behaviors.

This study demonstrated that an engineered human skin equivalent can generate follicle-like structures resembling fetal skin, highlighting the role of the dermal compartment in directing epithelial cell fate in vitro.

This article describes a framework for evaluating new health technologies by integrating quantitative evidence with qualitative assessments and using precedents to guide policy decisions, without reporting new clinical results.

In patients undergoing treatment with capecitabine for colon cancer and metastatic breast cancer, this study observed that hand-foot syndrome occurred more frequently than with intravenous 5-FU, but other side effects were less common.

In this study, mouse amnion epithelium was successfully transformed into skin and hair follicles when associated with hair-forming dermis, revealing the necessity of specific influences for follicle formation.

This study found that collagen VI influences hair follicle growth and wound-induced regrowth by activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in mice, suggesting potential therapeutic targets for hair loss.

In this study, VD(3) pretreatment increased hair follicle formation in a rat model by promoting dermal papilla cell differentiation, suggesting potential for hair regeneration therapy.

This study documented 70 plant species used by traditional healers in Namibia to manage AIDS-related opportunistic diseases and highlighted the need for further research on their anti-HIV properties and potential over-exploitation.

This case report found that a woman's hair loss, which progressed while using spironolactone and topical minoxidil, reversed after switching to flutamide therapy.

This review discusses hair transplant techniques for female pattern hair loss and reports no new clinical results; it highlights the benefits of transplants combined with various treatments for improved hair density and styling options.

In this study, microneedles combined with finasteride nanostructured lipid carriers (FIN-NLC-MNs) were found to enhance skin penetration and specifically target hair follicles, promoting hair growth and gene regulation in androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome had significantly higher serum and intrafollicular levels of anti-Müllerian hormone compared to normovulatory women, indicating a potential marker for ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome risk.

This study found a higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome in patients with lichen planus, especially those with mucosal involvement, which is associated with increased cardiovascular and diabetes risk.

This study found that the CD44(+) ALDH(+) population of neonatal human keratinocytes exhibited enhanced stem cell properties, including significantly increased long-term epidermal regeneration and multipotency, compared to unfractionated cells.

This study characterized the stress-strain properties of the human scalp and found that its stiffness increases significantly with load, providing valuable insights for planning scalp surgery procedures.

This article reviews studies on thyroid influence on hair growth, noting varied results, including accelerated growth in some normal and underfed rats after thyroid administration, but reports no clinical results.

This review discusses the role of immune cells in mammalian hair cycle control and highlights their potential relevance to human hair cycling disorders, reporting no new clinical findings.

This article reviews the role of microRNAs as epigenetic modulators in dermatology but reports no new clinical findings.

This study identified overexpression of certain immune-related genes and underexpression of genes in specific signaling pathways in premature androgenetic alopecia, suggesting potential new therapeutic targets.

This study found that sex bias exists in dermatological research, with 60% of articles not reporting the sex of cells or animals and a disproportionate use of male cells and animals when known.

This study suggests that a hair follicle enzyme assay may predict response to minoxidil treatment for androgenetic alopecia with high sensitivity and specificity in a preliminary analysis.

This article reviews potential animal models for studying androgenetic alopecia and reports no new experimental results; the authors highlight the need for further development of rodent models.

This study observed that Endoglin is crucial for maintaining correct hair follicle cycling and stimulating hair follicle stem cell niches through feedback interactions involving Wnt/β-catenin and Bmp/Smad signaling pathways in a mouse model.

This study found that men with frontal fibrosing alopecia were more likely to have facial papules, androgenetic alopecia, and body hair loss compared to women, with the average patient age being higher than in other series, potentially explaining these differences.

This study found that a topical cream containing PTH (7–34) significantly stimulated hair growth in hairless mice.
