In this review, researchers examined the concentration of cortisol in scalp hair of individuals with alopecia areata to explore its relationship with disease variables, as cortisol in hair can indicate chronic stress, which may impact alopecia areata pathogenesis.

This study suggests that measuring cortisol levels in hair may serve as a useful biomarker for assessing mood in individuals with bipolar disorder over recent months.

This study suggests that increased use of anticancer drugs from 2004 to 2008 has led to higher environmental release, necessitating expanded monitoring and research on their ecotoxicological impacts.

This review discusses recent advances in understanding gender differences in skin and their implications for dermatologic diseases, but it reports no new experimental results; ongoing research is necessary for translating these insights into clinical practice.

In this multicenter study, androgenetic alopecia was the most common type of alopecia among both men and women attending specialty hair clinics on four continents.

This study outlines the features and diagnosis of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease, highlighting its association with specific genes, its prevalence among pigmented races, and treatment with systemic steroids and immunosuppressants.

This article reviews the history and impacts of direct-to-consumer advertising of prescription drugs in the U.S. and reports no new research findings; it discusses implications for health policy debates.

This review discusses common skin appendage diseases, including their pathophysiology and treatments, but does not report new results.

This research suggests that both proposed pathways into hair fibers for molecule penetration are valid and complementary, with all fiber structures acting as potential routes for delivering materials.

Hair follicles in injured skin can quickly accumulate minerals, especially calcium and phosphorus.

This study identified key dermoscopic markers such as yellow dots, black dots, broken hairs, and coudability hairs, which were associated with a poorer prognosis in alopecia areata patients.

This study discusses various anti-cancer therapies, including chemotherapy and immunotherapy, emphasizing the challenges in classifying these medications due to their diverse chemical compositions, mechanisms of action, and effectiveness against different types of cancer.

This review discussed the potential of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) for hair follicle regeneration, covering current approaches and challenges, iPSC differentiation, and their possible future clinical applications in hair restoration.

This study reported that 83.1% of patients with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis experienced skin conditions, with xerosis affecting 63.6%, pruritis 36.4%, and notable occurrences of nail and oral anomalies, indicating a need for targeted dermatological management to improve patients' quality of life.

This case report describes a patient with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis who developed hypertrichosis and eyelash trichomegaly, likely linked to cyclosporine-A and prednisolone therapy, with expected resolution after stopping treatment.

In this study, researchers presented cases of cellular neurothekeoma in three male family members with early-onset in infancy, suggesting a potential genetic component and inheritance pattern, which deviates from the typical presentation seen mostly in women between 20–30 years.

This study reported a 2.6% prevalence of myositis in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, with alopecia, leukopenia, and active disease significantly associated with its development.

This review discusses regenerative medicine and explores the potential of molecular imaging in enhancing personalized therapies, but it reports no new research results.

This review synthesizes current knowledge on choriogenesis, the final stage of oogenesis in insects, by exploring the role of follicle cells, regulatory mechanisms of gene expression, and the biochemical makeup of the eggshell, while also highlighting structural diversity and adaptations across insect species.

In this study, researchers found significant associations between trichoscopic features and the severity of androgenetic alopecia in Korean participants, suggesting trichoscopy as a useful tool for early detection and monitoring by identifying indicators like vellus hairs and follicular unit changes.

In this review, the authors highlight the importance of hair care for men, suggesting that proper routines and a nutrient-rich diet can help maintain scalp health, prevent hair loss, and promote a sense of well-being.

This chapter reviews the causes, prevalence, and prognosis of androgenetic alopecia and discusses treatments like topical minoxidil and systemic finasteride to stop hair loss and potentially increase hair density.

AGA causes permanent hair loss; minoxidil helps men, finasteride helps men, minoxidil somewhat helps women, estrogens/antiandrogens lack evidence for women.

Up to 50% of scalp hair can be lost before it appears thin, and treatment is only needed for hair loss caused by diseases or deficiencies.

Transplant patients often get skin problems, with treatments varying by condition.

This report presents a case where a patient with Omenn syndrome, complicated by cytomegalovirus infection, was successfully treated using reduced intensity conditioning allogeneic HSCT from a sibling donor.

This letter to the editor discusses immune checkpoint inhibitor-related alopecia and insights into its pathophysiology using non-invasive diagnostic techniques, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that dermoscopic indicators like black dots and tapering hairs are valuable markers for diagnosing and assessing the severity and activity of alopecia areata in Asian patients.

Some drugs can cause hair loss, and stopping these drugs often leads to hair regrowth.

This abstract discusses the uncertain role of the vascular system in hair loss and highlights the unexplained aspects of various types of alopecias; it reports no new research findings.
